I asked Mike about that last week. He said "Going through the swing or what I'm working on very slowly."

10 mins working in my living room on my putting. I have a tendency on longer putts to rush my backswing so my tempo is off. I've found that if I take the putter back slower I can control the pace a lot better.

The up and down challenge (18 different shots)... Scored 43... Still gotta work on it a little, would like to get it down to the high 30s at worst...

Erik, have you ever played this game for your greenside practice?

I usually like to play it against a friend - closest to the hole, or putting it out. First to three up wins.

Hit a large bucket at the range. Steep to shallow move is coming along alright. Steepening the shoulder plane is a big part of it for me it seems.

Putting was the practice today. More practice on bead, although, I could use help on all aspects of putting.

Today I went to the range and worked on hitting a draw again.  I used the gate drill.  Most of my shots were pushes.  The ball would land 5-10 yards left of my target.

For the last 5-10 shots I used my normal swing.  My ball's flight had a little bit of a draw to it.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
