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

I did a bit of warm-up this morning, working on my transition before the round. But I've missed so many days in July already, and it really showed in my round today. I played poorly (by my standards). Now I see why it's so important to at least do some practice daily. A few years ago, I would have chalked this up to inconsistency, but today, I can really feel it's the effect of not practicing.

Finally, pushing shots. 5 minute slow path drills, and slow hip turn drills. I feel like I'm finally at a turning point. Cross fingers. . .

7/20/15: After an okay first round of the club championship... (Shot 89)... I hit it good Sunday but missed 5 putts inside 3 feet... (2 on 1 Hole)... The pins were on knobs, I didn't know they were going to do that (I was on the tournament committee)... Shot 101 on day two,(had 2 blow up holes)... I was more worried about running the tournament, than playing it though.... Worked on putting super fast greens today had, Mike TRIPLE Roll the practice green, boy were they quick...

      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?
