I might pull my 3 wood over a 4 iron. I chipped in tigeresk tonight from 15 yards tonight with my 60 so it is still doing me right...

Went out to the range again today and I was consistently hitting near the pin from 100 yards and in! I think that combined with my newfound driving realization will really help my scores! That realization was, I slice the hell out of my driver and it reaches 180 out and 70 yards right, My five wood goes 200 dead straight from the tee. Hit the five wood, leave the driver at home.

I'm the same way.........

In very general terms:

My 56deg is better from fluffy bunker lies because it has more bounce.   I prefer my 60 from wet or firm bunkers because it has considerably less bounce.  This is generally speaking and there are always exceptions to the rule...of course!  LOL

Your post impressed me......not many 25HC'ers would pick up on this.   Very insightful........

Thanks.  My handicap is probably lower as I'm more frequently scoring in the 90's now have almost broke 90 a couple of times recently..  I don't have an official handicap.  My score killer is the long game...driving and approach shots which has been dramatically improving due to lessons during the last month.  My short game from 130 yards and is relatively decent.  I don't know why, but my bunker play is excellent.  I can't remember when I've failed to get out in one and rarely scull a bunker shot.  This game is crazy.

      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

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
