I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees. 

Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.

People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep. 

Some good tidbits of information though.

Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious

Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.

    • Day 375 - Got a good session in, mostly partial swings focused on the finish, but worked up to full swings. Finished with some lag putting.
    • Day 198: went to a simulator for an hour. Played blackjack National and shot 77. Then worked on backswing stuff for a bit, and it went pretty well. 
    • Day 123 - 2025-01-31 Busy day building a website, some images, and doing Evolvr. So… some mirror stuff while waiting on some things a few times throughout the day.
    • Day 14: 1/31/25 Plenty of putting practice today - early morning, at lunch and this evening.
    • Day 11 (31 Jan 25) - Played in the Friday men’s group today.  Had some really good swings with the  Feruga shafted driver, pretty solid with the putter (not the AI One Milled but the broomstick style NMG Ab) and okay wedge game.  Was a day of up and down pars  (5 of the 6 front side pars were such).  Finished with a 40 on the front.  Then the wheels got wobbly on the back - made a mess on a number of holes closing with a 49 by trading those 5 up and down pars for 5 doubles on the back….while it was a struggle to not get frustrated, it was just a reminder that the game can spin on a single shot.
