Woohoo, played 9 and for once, didn't hit one really awful shot, no earth digging fats, no bone shattering thins, no shanks, no OB drivers. Hit one juuuust off the heel and wound in the green side bunker a nGIR, not very right at all. Every iron went pretty much near where I wanted it to go and hit two controlled low trajectory escape shots which went exactly the height I wanted, 10 feet high and 100, 175 yards. Still shot a 43, a snowman because of a green side bunker shot caught too cleanly because wet packed sand into a bunch of leaves killed me, but that's the short game and doesn't bother me as much. If I had my regular season short game, could have broken 40. Someone mistook my Aimpoint Express finger procedure for Vector putting. Cold-ish weather didn't effect distance much either.

Because limited time indoors don't practice longer clubs as much. Sometimes need to start with a long iron to get to driver.

Lesson, more work on no Havercamp on the backswing. Really feels like I'm stretching to the sky and wound up. Feels are sway hips back while left shoulder to ball.

Better with extension at 4, more daylight between shaft and head.

Thanks. Doesn't look it but feeling a major stretch there, like a pretzel.

Bought the changes to the course, shot 44 short game rusty, driver was good, much more controlled, pretty much all nGIRs, focused on the one thought, feel that stretch at 4. Getting same distance feeling like less effort although that stretch at 4 takes energy out of me more when at the range. Don't like the chicken wing at 8-9 but will focus on that later, want to make new feeling at 4 automagic.

You've been away too long @JetFan1983. If @nevets88 quit his job, in four months he might only get two rounds of golf in. Because winter 😜

Last evolvr lesson - get right elbow more in front of body on downswing. This is a 7I @ super slow tempo, probably went 75 yards, but the feel is totally different. Even though it's not a full tempo swing, I feel progressively swinging faster while keeping the same feels is the way to go. I call this the " love tap " drill.

 

Even though that's probably my best P6 position and I know it's supposed to be a powerful position, it doesn't. Maybe when I up the speed a little more.

That looks like a fantastic drill...I've never seen that one before. I have to try that one.

Looking good Steve. What feel are you using? The one I use is pushing  my right arm down against my left thumb at setup. Then I keep that feel to A4.

Thanks Scott. A lot more hip sway away from target from A1, chest extension from A3-A4, arms reaching for sky A3-A4, head towards target A3-A4. Feels like a lot more torque, stretched out more.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
