Haven't picked up a club in a few weeks.  Got about 10 swings before I had to go.  Ball B330-RXS  I could feel that I was out towards the toe, thus the lower PTR.  My shot shape is usually push draw to straight draw.  Misses are straight pulls.

Club Ping G-10  9*  Stiff  TFC129D Shaft 45.75 inches.  Ball B330-RXS.  I'm working with a club maker to see if I can get some distance.  I know I can and will work on the smash factor to get it out there further.  Looking for any suggestions you might have.  Not shown here is ball height average.  It was 30 yards.

Thanks,

Here's what I'm thinking.  I'm 5'8, 55 years old.  Looking at SMT or Geek component head.  Shaft Voodoo or Oban Devotion.  Probably in regular or stiff flex and 10.5 or even 12.  I've been working on some of Lynn Blakes stuff on the left wrist ahead of the club head, but only with short irons so far.  I do know that I throw it away from the top sometimes.  So if I work hard, I fell I can get the SS up to 103, maybe 105.

Been hitting 45.75-inch shafts, but feel I can improve on the smash factor at 44.5 maybe.

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
