My first boring blog entry.

I spent about 2-3 hours practicing all aspects of my game. I switched the weights around in my driver and left the tool at home , it was no help what so ever so don't do that again. The driver is still a push fade and some times of epic proportions. I am going to learn to play it or use a different club on the tee. 3 and 4 woods are great off the tee usually but there is a pride issue of not being able to use the driver. I tend to work on various things and if they are difficult or not cooperating, it is all I can think about so you can imagine the aggravation of not being able to hit driver. Irons were magnificently hit for the most part. Slight shortening of back swing helped keep my head still. I figured this out after I stopped hitting driver so I must remember it next time. I figure $41t out and forget it the next time I play until mid round. I need to kick myself in the nuts for not reading my notes.

Chipping and pitch was okay, some really good shots made and good putting. Sometimes it is mentally better to practice than play...

I have been sticking to the range and practice lately since I started working out again after a month off. Muscles are sore and tight daily and I don't know how that is affecting my swing.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
