Worked on some distance wedge work today. Spent most of the time just trying to hit the same launch angle. It is all over the place. Either I overdo it and flight things down to like sub 25 degrees (for a 60 degree wedge), I hit my 30 to 35 degree window, or I just let out all the wrist angle and hit 45 degrees. Let's just say it is very annoying. The random shank decides to show up, yay!

28° or so is good for a LW. Ideally not 30-35°. What balls were you using?

Thought I post this here. My game plan for working on my game this year.  Full Swing 1. Head up the Erie every few months for a lesson.  2. One range session a week, probably will be more bec

Went up to Erie for the first lesson of 2021! Just a summary of things I worked on.  Setup 1. Less upper body axis tilt 2. Less hands pushed forward 3. Weight more 50/50 Bet

Went up to Erie for a GEARS lesson today.  The focus today was on working on hand path and clubhead path in the downswing. I am sending the hands to far out towards the ball, and having the club

Okay, then yeah, they should be launching at a consistent height. I figured you knew better than to judge it based one even decent range balls.

This is feeling like the club is at P2. To get lower launch angles I have to feel like I’m dragging my hands through impact just delofting the crap out of the club.

This is trying to stop at P2.5. The consistency in launch angle gets worse. Contact gets worse.

trying to go P3, things get more volatile. The more I increase my swing length the more I can’t lower the dynamic loft.

Edit: these are with my 56 degree.

Good range session.

Key points

  1. Controlling my left knee better.
  2. shorter backswing
  3. wrist flex

I still need to get better at turning while doing wrist flex stuff and the lead leg straightening.

Trying to do two things at once is tricky.

      I googled a bit and not claiming it as fact but here's my understanding.. Carl Petterssen (Mr. Five wins) = Swedish. Swedish pancakes are iconic. So someone's highly fertile brain decided that 5 wins = CP = Swedish = Swedish Pancakes. There is no other logic connecting five PGAT wins or golf in general to pancakes.

      Ok, thanks.  I still really don't get it, but that's OK.

      Almost no effect and arguably when it does have an effect it does a better job.  An example is the best way I can think to say this. Say you have a course that has a 476 yard par 5 on it. Par is 72, course rating is 72.0. Slope is whatever you want it to be. Scratch player plays that hole and under NDB maximum score is a 7, which makes sense. Then let's say you take that hole and chop a yard off it, making it 475 yards and call it a par 4. That would have no impact on the course rating (unless there's a big fluke going on about the rating being 71.95001 or something). Now that scratch player gets 1 stroke. Assuming that the stroke index of the hole in question is 1 (which would make sense that it would be the hardest hole on the course given it was a par 5 three minutes ago), then that scratch player has a maximum score under NDB of 7, which once again seems reasonable. It was 7 when the hole was 1 yard longer, so it should be 7 now too. If you don't make that adjustment, then now the max score is 6, which would be a weird change to make.  I know that in reality this will change by what the actual stroke indices are and the actual hole where that extra shot comes along will vary by handicap (between all 18 of them), but at its basest level, whether par is 71 or 72 shouldn't really impact what the maximum score should be. On average it should fall out that way, which it does now and didn't before.
