so i walked into a store called "roots & relics" yesterday. it sells new and used golf clubs, basically i guess you could say its a Gamestop for golf clubs.

i remembered hearing about that 10iron that nickent made and i just had to see for myself how ridiculous a "10" on the sole of an iron looked. i honestly chuckled a little when i saw it. im sure its great for new players but i dont think i could ever get used to the idea of having a 10 iron in the bag.

Every Nickent club iron made is right up there at the top of the ugly meter. I don't know how, if they have a new master iron-designer, how they can churn out such ugly looking work. Sure, they may play well, but "ick."

Callaway makes a 10 iron which is the PW. I had Callaways for about 2 years and I never really thought about it. If someone were to ask me which club I hit, I would never say the ten iron, I would say a PW.

Well, I should say that I saw the Nickent 3DX Pro irons last weekend and they weren't all that bad looking. Their Genex Blades are a good looking iron set as well so that means that 50% of their clubs look O.K.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
