Day 5: Backswing work while hitting balls with a 5 iron

Just some thoughts on the shots I hit today.  Driver: Hole 1, actually swung left and hit a nice pull fade.. Hole 2, I thought if I make the same swing on hole one but turn the face down I can hit a pull draw around the corner on a par 5. Pulled it off. Very happy with that. The rest of the drives were trying to reproduce the cut on hole one, but a mix of hitting it off the toe and not leaving the face open, most of them ended up straight draws or slight pull draws. On the line I chose off the tee, it was not the best result. For the most part, the driver had a very neutral ball flight (like 5-10 yards of curve). So, the swings felt good. Though, I did have a strange moment on hole 7. Again trying to hit the fade, I aimed at this tree and wanted to fade it back to the center of the fairway. In my downswing, and it might be more post impact, I actually rotated so much through impact that I did a half step through with the right leg subconsciously. Basically, I just balanced on my left leg for half a second. It was strange, and unplanned, but I killed that ball.  Irons: I was overdoing my wrist stuff, and maybe adding in a bit of forearm roll (not the best). The flight was too much draw. So, the face to path was not the best. I do think I am gripping the club a tad too strong (closed) at address.  I didn't feel like I was really doing the wrist stuff excessively, but I ended up hitting pull draws. Hey, I can work off this. I did hit some great, purposeful overdraws, out of the trees from a neutral set up position. So basically manipulating path and club face with my arms/hands. Those were fun! 😁. Yea, I need to hit the range to get the feel dialed in a bit more. Contact was pretty solid, just path and face stuff.  Short game: Much better! I am finally getting the hang of hitting shots with the least amount of backswing for the shot. though, the only thing that happens is that I can leave the club face way open and push alot of my pitches right. I need to stop that. I pushed one like 20-FT right of my landing spot.  Putting: Much better.     

Day 205 - Back is improving, was able to work on some easy swings focusing on tempo and how I shift my weight.

Day 15: did a stack session.
