I've had some horrific rounds off the tee lately, so decided to get a lesson. Started off hitting 7irons. Swing felt good and I was hitting little draws. Pro didn't really tweak anything in the swing, just noticed that tempo and "hitting" versus "swinging" is the main issue. I get too quick and come over the top. Also, I want to rotate around my body versus swinging down the line. Worked on tempo and swinging to the target and hit a bunch of good shots in a row.

Moved to a 3wd. Here he did tweak my grip a bit, my right thumb was on top of the club and hindering release. Moved it over to the left side of the club, and immediately saw a BIG difference. Amazing. Again, worked on tempo and swinging down the line, along with the grip. At the end I was hitting nice little draws off the deck with good distance. Same drill with the driver, tempo and swinging down the line resulted in a series of nice shots. Simple stuff.

Only other thing is I'll get handsy from time to time, so I'm working on pulling with the left side. This really stems from the "hitting" versus "swinging" the club issue though.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
