Practice 6/3G

[chilly]

Same drill this week, worked on more width and longer backswing again. One of my playing partners that I hadn't played with in awhile said my backswing was ridiculously short and I looked to be trying to control the club too much instead of just swinging the thing.

Quick summary, I basically just worked on pushing the club away on the backswing, and getting a full turn (keyed shoulder under my chin). Picked up 20yds on everything from GW to 3h, that simple. Ball flight looked better, got rid of the weak fade, I was very happy. The old pull/draw came back, but I worked on swinging down the line and it definitely helped. This was just a matter of working on the swing positions too much and gradually just getting the swing too constricted.

Worked driver with the same thoughts and had the best session I've had in a long time. At first I was hitting a big push, but worked on turning my hips towards the target and hit littledraws. Huge increase in distance and pop, felt better lag.

I reshafted my MX700 driver and TEE CB1 3w with Prolaunch Platinums in 65/75g this week and hit them. Nice shafts for $30. Brought ball flight down on the driver, and up a bit on the 3w. Very controlled but smooth, great dispersion, seemed to be low/mid spin. The 3w especially responded, I hit it a ton compared to the old Aldila NV it seemed, higher launch worked for me...but it's still just a mid flight.
