Basically… what I'd look to do right now is a LOT of mirror work. You take the club up and out, so it's very steep. Then you pull your hands in and worse yet roll the forearms quite a bit. This actual

With such a flat shoulder turn you end up going flat to steep. Imagine if the shoulders were pointing more towards that white post. Your club would be in a much better position at A3.  To c

The work continues. If I'm not diligent, the shaft gets too inside too early on the backswing. I'm also working on shortening my backswing, which I do a shitty job of here.

Forgot to mention: I purchased a full set of Edel wedges and irons [3-PW, 52, 60] a few weeks ago. They'll be here in another week or so.

I am very excited!

Love the look of those irons - my Edel wedges are still a couple of weeks away at best :-(.

Keep up the good work with the swing!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Thanks! I'm loving these clubs so far. 

Fresh wedge grooves are quite a shock. I hit one a few days ago that spun twenty feet off the green into the water. These cut through the ground so easily that it took me a while to calibrate. 

Latest swing. Working on two things: standing the club up more on the backswing, and shallowing it more on the downswing. Making good progress.

Out of curiosity and for comparison, what were your previous wedges and how old were they?

Also, those irons look beautiful!:beer:

I've gone through two wedges in the past year: a Nike 60 degree, in which I wore the grooves near completely smooth, and a Ben Hogan 60, which I got for twenty bucks at an old used club store. The Hogan was at least ten years old, with worn grooves. I had to lean on both of those mother****ers to get them to check up, and I did the same with the Edel. 

They feel beautiful, too! Thanks!

Thanks man. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Everything about them has been better than expected.

How long did that take you?  I think my current wedges (Ping Glides) are about two years old at this point.  Nothing too noticeable to me with the grooves wearing.

I had the Nike for about two years, I think, maybe a few months more. The bottom center grooves were beginning to pinch closed on the Hogan by the time I got my Edels. I use the 60 for everything 130 yards and in, so it gets a lot of use.

The feel is "drop club to right heel" to help shallow downswing. Really pleased with improvement, not so much with camera angle.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
