Not nearly enough. I have my first lesson in 7 years in the next couple of weeks so hopefully a lot more regularly in the not too distant future!

How often does your swing repeat?

Since virtually every swing I make is different in some way, I could shoot even par and say "never."

Last night at my lesson, I hit 4 or 5 good ones in a row.

I said 50-75%, but I totally get Erik's point, too. I'm always switching between draws and fades, sometimes even on purpose. But I'm going with "repeating" meaning a reasonably close facsimile of the swing I'm intending, whether or not I'm going for a different ball flight on one than the other. Of course, there are days where it's probably more like 10%, and a few (too few) when it's higher. Luckily, golf is a weird game. You can sometimes get good results with a less than perfect swing.

Truthfully, I think I repeat mine about 75% of the time EXACTLY.

But I do change my swing for draws and fades.

I just had several fitting sessions. In each of them, almost every single impact was identical, once the correct lie angle was determined. I had three sessions over a month to make sure the fitting wasn't suspect.

Turns out it wasn't. My specs were the same every time. 61.5 deg on the 6 iron. (For those who haven't had the pleasure, clubutters fit by 6 iron, then add or subtract .5 deg in each direction). I was concerned that if it was a great ballstriking day, or a bad ballstriking day, the specs might turn out different each time. Well there was a great day, an average day and a day that started badly, my swing came around in about 5-10 minutes. My specs were the same every time. Shaft specs didn't change either. (not that I thought they would, my concern was lie angle.)

Being slightly compulsive I had it done on every club. Even 5 years later and a slightly different action and nothing has changed. That is because the correct impact position for me is always the correct impact position while the other mechanics may be slightly off. I have heard that they make medication for this.

I picked 73.5% repeating.

I picked 25-49. At times my ball striking and technique is really, really good. And others, i couldn't connect with the ball properly if my life depended on it. Golf is a funny game. I think it really has a lot to do with your mindset.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
