I think the it in your question is actually referred to hit. So, all you do is put the ball forward of your middle stance and stay down the whole time... make sure you back swing isn't so long and the only thing you need to do is rotate your hips forward as fast as possible and you will see that your golf ball will blast off the ground. Don't even try to use your arms, you have to pretend that you don't have any. If you try to use them then you wont make high loft shots.
you tend to use the woods for loger distances with less lift whereas irons are used for more loft and better accuracy
Woods are used for driving from the tee, while irons are used on the fairway. The face of woods are angled less to provide more forward force, and the irons are angled more provide more life and accuracy. Confusing matters is that many "woods" these days are made from metal alloys.
Loft refers to the angle of the golf club's face from the vertical axis. The loft of a club imparts varying degrees of backspin on the ball, making it fly higher and shorter, as in irons and wedges, or lower and longer, as in woods and drivers. The standard sand wedge has a loft ranging from 52 degrees to more than 60; drivers usually have a loft of around 9-10 degrees.
For women and children with slower swing speeds, woods and hybrid clubs allow for more loft, while men with faster swing speeds are open to using distance irons. For a blend, omit longer irons 3 and above, while going with lofted woods. Beginners are also better suited to a mallet-style putter and a large-faced, loft-oriented driver.
The loft on the Slingshot irons as well as any other iron ranges from 14 degrees to 60 degrees.Specifically, the Nike Slingshot 4D irons specs are as follows.Club456789PWSWLoft2326303438424655Lie61626363.56464.56565.5Length38.7538.2537.7537.2536.7536.253635.75Womens Length37.7537.2536.7536.2535.7535.253534.75HandRH/LHRH/LHRH/LHRH/LHRH/LHRH/LHRH/LHRH/LH
The best way to get elevation on all shots is to mash the ball into the ground by hitting down on it with the club, this produces spin and therefore elevation. This may seem strange when you consider the loft of a 3 iron but it is how the pros play it. Most high handicappers try to sweep their irons but you don't need to, the clubs have been designed with the specific lofts for a reason.
Loft may range from 19 degree to 60 degree depending on the specs of the iron.

The short irons in golf, such as the 9 iron and wedges are used for height. Because of the short shaft and aggressive attack angle, coupled with the high loft, they hit the ball high. The wedges are known as the scoring clubs because they are arguably the easiest to hit.
The Adams website will have full details.
The number relates to the loft of the club and the length of the shaft. For example a 3 iron has the lowest loft and longest shaft. A 7 irons has more loft and a shorter shaft than the 3 iron.
You must be opening the club face at impact or else you have the ball too far forward causing a launch that is too high.
