I'd be focusing on putting if I was you!!  you turned a 73-74 into a 78 no thanks to a bulky putter.

My average round I hit anywhere north of 60% GiR my mid irons are part of why I shoot how I shoot. The putting was indeed a very big struggle. I could not get the speed right to save my life and kept giving myself tricky 5 footers that if I had hit the speed right would've made. The thing that sucked is I don't think I misread a putt the entire round I just hit them all too hard. Playing again today, hopefully goes better.

I can understand that. I shot a HORRIBLE 88 yesterday, and a big part of it was hitting great putts on perfect lines, but leaving 3-6 inches short. At least 4 times I did exactly this while putting for par. My stroke was good, my distance wasn't.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

been working at bringing it back on a better angle, slowly getting better first swing a little off balance second one looks much better but what are your thoughts.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
