      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 246 (5 Jan 25) - - Super short game session today - 54° at 10-15 yds max.  Real simple - pick a target landing point near the “pin” and get the ball to release toward the same.  Focused on set up and engaging the club’s bounce - the club performed nicely - a few near dunks, one hop in the hole, and lots of finishes inside a 10’ radius of the pin.

      Day 26: 1/5/2025 I got feedback from Yoda on my swing videos I sent him and he pointed out two things.  First was a direction and amount of a weight shift I've been working on, so I'll have to tweak that a bit.  Second, (This one I was aware of, but I'm glad he pointed it out, that makes me feel like I can at least somewhat self diagnose my problems.) I got a hitch at the top that I've worked on eliminating, or at least reducing, and it's back. The hitch and my hand-path are sort of my perpetual-swing-nemeses.  So, today it's back to the mirror. And lots of slow motion swings. Focusing on direction and volume of a weight shift as well as eliminating the hitch at the top.  I'm excited about where my swing is going. I "feel" like it's improving. Time will tell if feel is real in this case.

      Lighter Grips and Backweights

      So, swing wight on a Ping G430 I think is like D0. Lightening the grip by 6 grams will move it one swing weight higher... D1.  Personally, I can't tell the difference of just one swing weight point. Normally it takes 2 or more likely 3 points for me to notice. Others, however, say that they can feel 1/2 of a swing weight point.  I'd probably just leave it, but if you can feel the difference, you could add a 5 gram butt weight. Your other option, of course, is to just replace the rear weight in the B430 head with one that's 2 grams lighter and you will counteract the 1 swing-weight-point. (Rule of thumb: 2 grams in the head = 1 swing weight point. 5 grams in the grip = 1 swing weight point.)  You can google "Ping G430 driver head weights" and get sources to get just about any mass of weight you desire.

      It probably depends on you. I would say just use the driver for at least a handful of rounds. Give yourself a chance to get acclimated. And see if you notice a difference.

      There's a difference of 6g. Not a lot but just thought could it make a difference.
