Well I got my irons a couple days ago and took them out for their maiden voyage today. Beautiful course, beautiful weather, horrible game. I mean I was terrible. Could not believe it I was hitting balls fat, or off hosel all day. Shot a 49 on the front and 40 on the back.

Here is the kicker: when i got done Playing I called the pro that fit me and the conversation went like this:

Me: "Hey Rodney, it's Cotter. Are you at the course?"
Pro: "Sure am. How was your game today with the new sticks?"
Me: "Well, I am going to swing over and shove each of these irons up your @$$".
Pro: "Wow!?! That bad? We need to check the lie, I cant do it tonight though, can you come tomorrow".
Me: "No I am playing tomorrow. You may not be able to check them, but that is okay. But I'm still coming over to shove these up your @$$. Which one do you want first?"
Pro: "Well, i guess if I have to choose.... I'd prefer to start with the smallest one."

LOL. True story. I went over, and he put me on the lie board and then put the clubs of the loft/lie adjuster and found Mizuno screwed up the order. They were ordered 2 degrees flat (spec sheet w/them said 2 FL), but they measured out 2 degrees up. Meanwhile I lose $50 on a nassau. UGGH!

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
