I've decided on a two pronged assault.

1. I've flattened my swing about 1.5°. This has helped innumerably. I did it by keeping more flex in my back knee, and turning the club over a bit as I go back. This enables me to turn more around than up, then I throw it underhanded back down, really focusing on getting it moving around my body more than down at the ball.

2. I bought a set of Forged Nike Pro Combo irons, and will have them bent upright 2°. I'm not a Nike fan, but they have impressed me lately (hey, they're good enough for Tiger, right?), and for $140, they cannot be beaten. They have blades from the PW to the 8 iron, which is absolutely perfect. Then from 7 to 5, they are pocket cavities, giving me some forgiveness where I need it. Finally, the 3 and 4 irons are full cavities, which will allow me to hit them high without having to play a cut. Nike also makes 2 irons, which I really am thankful for. I'm planning on getting a Nike Pro Forged Cavity 2 iron to complete the set. I love a 2 iron, you can rip it long and pierce the wind.

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.

      Day 56 (4 May 26) - Worked on some ball-then-ground drills - going from P3 thru impact - with a slowed tempo, working to keep all parts in sync.
