after chipping, i go to the range and hit about 5 3/4 3 iron swings to get my hands in the right spot and tempo going. then i hit 5 full 3 iron shots, then go to my pw, 9 iron, etc.

It varies a bit, but lately a 6 or 7 iron. Regardless, I like to start with a few 1/2 to 3/4 swings with my feet together, just to get the balance and be sure I can get solid contact this way. Then I take a normal stance and hit 1/2 swings until I hit a couple in a row with solid contact. Then I get on with whatever I'm working on.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Start with PW hitting a few 3/4 swings. Then 6i, 4i and Driver. I finish of with a a couple of swings with the club I am going to tee off with. After that I check the speed on the putting green and a few chips if I have time.

What I Play:
Ping Rapture V1 9° stock UST stiff | Taylormade V-steel, 15° and 18°, UST Proforce V2 stiff | Mizuno MP-57 3-PW Project X 5.5 | Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 52.08/58.12 | 35" Scotty Cameron Studio Select | Titleist Pro V1 | Leupold GX-1 Rangefinder

When you just starting at a driving range/golf course, what club do you use for warming up?

I usually just go and practice pitching and putting. Then go play. If I go to the range I'll usually start with my pw doing 3/4 shots, concentrating to rythm and tempo. After about 6 or 7 balls I'll pull out my 2i and do nice, easy full swings. If that feels good I'll move to my mid irons; if not I'll usually drop down to my 4i and do the same thing as I did with my 2i.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
