Haven't picked up a club in a few weeks.  Got about 10 swings before I had to go.  Ball B330-RXS  I could feel that I was out towards the toe, thus the lower PTR.  My shot shape is usually push draw to straight draw.  Misses are straight pulls.

Club Ping G-10  9*  Stiff  TFC129D Shaft 45.75 inches.  Ball B330-RXS.  I'm working with a club maker to see if I can get some distance.  I know I can and will work on the smash factor to get it out there further.  Looking for any suggestions you might have.  Not shown here is ball height average.  It was 30 yards.

Thanks,

Here's what I'm thinking.  I'm 5'8, 55 years old.  Looking at SMT or Geek component head.  Shaft Voodoo or Oban Devotion.  Probably in regular or stiff flex and 10.5 or even 12.  I've been working on some of Lynn Blakes stuff on the left wrist ahead of the club head, but only with short irons so far.  I do know that I throw it away from the top sometimes.  So if I work hard, I fell I can get the SS up to 103, maybe 105.

Been hitting 45.75-inch shafts, but feel I can improve on the smash factor at 44.5 maybe.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
