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!

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
