I sole mine. Seeing your a 7.7.......did you ask him what his cap was? 
 

don’t you just love unsolicited comments?

I did not ask him. I've seen him play a few times though. He and I frequent the same courses/range. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I sole it.  I try to have as little tension in my forearm and hands as possible before pulling it back.  At least that is my thinking why I sole but I have been accused of not having enough grip pressure

I soul my driver. I sing a little R&B or hum smooth jazz tunes to get it in the mood. It particularly likes Bill Withers.

I sole every club with face square to target to take grip and stance. But I hover the club head just slightly before starting backswing.

I tend to "sole" it when I'm getting my grip and stance set up and hover it just before the backswing.

I do the same thing, helps me get my grip correct.

I hover driver and putter.  Hard habit to change

    • Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.  
    • Day 123 12-13 Rotation and getting to lead side work. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls but did plenty of rehearsals today.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
