Except for the steepness of that shaft angle, I really like the way this A5 looks.

In addition to trying to bow that left wrist at the top, today (no video - this photo is from Sunday) I tried to visualize pointing the butt of the club at the ball on the way down.  Because I didn't get any video, I don't know how successful that feeling was, but it felt pretty effortless to get the clubhead on the ball (like I wasn't needing to manipulate anything) and I was hitting it quite well.

I'll try this feel again next time out and get some video as well to see how it looks. :)

That's a nice sunset but you can go straight to hell with those shorts and that green carpet that's covering the ground. Seriously, what is that stuff?

I'm gonna be honest with you Drew. When I first saw these pictures, I was tempted to move them to the Winter Depression thread. :-p

So I got a chance to play yesterday - don't worry @billchao , I will keep the pictures to myself ;) - and all in all, it wasn't bad.  I'm hitting better shots, hitting more draws, getting better and better every time out, it seems, with my pitching, but my driver is still holding me back.

I shot an 81 yesterday (6600, par 70, 72.5, 134) and I can attribute 7 dropped shots to yipped drivers.  And by that, I mean, drives that were wildly off line.  Here's a list:

#1: A 30 yard pull-draw in the weeds that led to a bogey.

#2: A 30 yard straight-slice (made worse by a head wind) into the drink, led to a double.

#7: A 40-50 nasty pull hook into hazard, led to bogey.

#10: Popped up push OB, double bogey after parring with second ball.

#11: Same as #7, got a lucky kickback into the rough, managed bogey from there.

#18: Big push slice led to nasty lie above bunker and a bogey.

That's 7 or 8 (#2 is a tough second shot even if I'm in the fairway so a par isn't a guarantee) shots right there.  Be able to keep the driver in play and all of a sudden that 81 could be a 73 or 74.

And I had two others nearly as bad, but that I was able to recover from and par.

I'm still working on getting the shaft pointing down at the ball at A5 and working on a straighter right leg around impact.  I think the straighter right leg might be the key to eliminating the snap hooks.  Maybe just keep at that, and work in some more "toes-up" drills as well.

OK, sorry Bill, I have to share:

Whatever dude, I saw those pictures yesterday :-P I was wondering what was up with your round, though. You better watch you don't start driving the ball like me :-D

      By rocket23 ·

      I am using up my Taylor made distance balls. Went thru half of my tp5’s. Prolly finish the season with axt titliest. But not buying any. I still have a few hundred maxfli balls in my safe.

      By retoid ·

      Well you were certainly right about this. Didn't notice much difference from when I switched to the e12's from the Kirkland balls. But today when I first tried the Vice Pro's, wow noticeable difference. Longest drives I've had so far and I think I need to club down on iron shots with it. Kept overshooting the green with them. Great feel and sound too.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      My boss, out of the blue yesterday, asked me if it ever gets too hot for me to play. I've played in 112* in Phoenix before. Fairly frequently play in mid-90s in NY. Those days are worse than the 112 in Phoenix. I said no. But I'll play in anything. I've played in sleet, snow, hail (one time it hailed on us while blowing a steady 45mph gusting to 55mph - as verified by an anemometer in the clubhouse), torrential rain, high winds, cold, hot, you name it.  Lightning will get me off the golf course though. I'm not an idiot (well, not that much of one anyway).

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Darkfrog ·

      I'm an all weather golfer. Luckily in my part of the Bay Area, it never get's much hotter than mid-70s, and the only humidity fog, so I don't have to deal with hot and humid weather. Most of the year I only have time to play once a week, and it's my weekly psychological break from the daily experience of work/parenthood so I hate to miss it. The only thing that really gives me pause is high winds, because my home course has tons of trees, and quite a few are diseased/dying. Often times when I am out playing and the weather is really shitty I will momentarily question my decision to play, but I rarely regret it.
