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.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
