I finally had a chance to post some update information.  I played Friday evening, but have been really busy since. Anyway, the ball striking is definitely improving.  I played lights out (for m

Pretty much a combo of fat/thin. If anything, (can't pinpoint for sure) the miss tends to be thin with the shorter and fat with the longer clubs. I can get in a rhythm at the range with a 9 iron where I am hitting solid. Good distance and ball flight. Move to the six though, and it's all down hill. I would say on average, I have been hitting my 8 longer than my 6, just due to the better contact.

Hey guys.  Hope everyone is doing well.

I pretty much took a number of years off from playing (maybe once a year or so for the last 5ish) due to home/life issues.

However, I am ready to start playing again.  I played last fall with friend and had a ton of fun.  I purchased a MEVO+, and have been hitting some balls this winter.

Last night I took some videos, and it looks like I am still struggling (no suprise), with the trail elbow sliding around.

Anyway, not a lot of time right now, but I do plan on working on my swing more this year.

I will try to post a video when I get a chance.

Welcome back, @14ledo81! Hope everything is well on your end. Glad to hear you’ve gotten the golf bug back, even if it’s limited. That’s the great thing about this crazy game... it’s always just there waiting.

Thanks for the welcome back guys. I’m really excited to work on my game and get better.  Being able to hit balls with the mevo in my garage makes it more enjoyable as well.

So I have been hitting balls on my sim for a bit now.

Took some slo-mo video and still have early release/hands getting stuck behind me.  I am getting away with it with my irons, but its really causing issue with my driver.

Iron distances are as follows (decently struck shots):  PW - 120, 9 - 130, 8 - 140, 7 - 155ish, 6 - 165ish, 5 - 175 ish, hybrid - 180-190.  Driver 210 carry or so with very little roll (high shots with spin).

My swing speed with the driver is consistently 100-103, but ball speed is 125-135.  I can feel the poor contact as well.

Swing speed with 6 iron is 85-88.

Still need to get a video posted.

      Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
