Hello everyone. I have been a stalker for a while but decided to finally register. I am from northwest Indiana, and like many, I don't get to play nearly enough as I would like to. Sadly I have only been out once this year and shot a measly 91. I know I should be happy with that as I haven't even swung a club since last August, but let's face it, those of us who once used to be good (I carried a 7 handicap in 2006), struggle with seeing something with a 9 in it. Lol.

Anyways, I hope that next year will bring greater success on finding time to hit the links more often.

Cheers!

    • Day 359 - Mostly worked on chipping/pitching today. 
    • Day 11 - Hoped for a range session but sadly a home improvement project went on three times as long as it should have. So more mirror work today.
    • Day 179: did some mirror work while watching the playoff game. Working on the early backswing stuff. It’s looking pretty good I think. 
    • There are several things to unpack here.  First, start a MySwing Thread. It's always tough to help anyone out without seeing their swing.  Second, if you have a "big 2 way miss" and your "all over the face". There isn't a driver that's going to fix that. ... If there was the USGA or the R&A would ban it.  Third, The PING G LST is a great driver. ... just my opinion. But I think its a great driver. I'm not a fan of how it sounds, it's loud, but it performs great.  Forth, I would never cut down a shaft without a fitting. Just choke down a bit. Lots of folks, even some tour pros choke down a bit on the grip.  Fifth, why do you want to hit a pull fade?  Sixth, do you have a swing coach? I'm a firm believer in getting coaching as regularly as you can.  Seventh, I think waiting on a fitting until you feel you've achieved some consistency is a good idea. Again, on this note, work with your swing coach. He or she can help tell you when your ready to get fit for a new driver.  Finally, I think chasing better drives by constantly changing drivers is folly. Drivers are so good now a days, if yours is less than 5 years old it's probably fine. Having said that, if you like shiny things ... and I do... then go for it. Tinkering with your equipment can be fun. I know I like to make some changes in what's in the bag now a again.  Let us know how you get on. 
    • You need to push into it, not let it push you forward toward the ball. Stand with your left hip 1" away from a countertop and make a simulated swing there, where your left hip doesn't touch the countertop.
