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

Off to the course for a bucket of balls for iron work, the 4 man "best ball". Not my favorite format. Something I need to work on because I like playing my own ball.

15 to 20 minutes mapping my swing and tempo work in front of a mirror. The first part I was working on A1 to 4 and looking at my hip turn to make sure I wasn't sliding back at all. The last part was tempo.

Worked on my downswing piece. Struggle a bit with my early extending issue. It got better when I coupled staying tilted towards the ball more with the right shoulder. I was finally able to take some turf.

Worked on pitching and putting. Getting really good around the green now.

Still struggle with lining up for left to right putts.

Played 9 holes, practiced my short game a lot. Shot 39 out of par 32 @ Billerica Country club back tees front 9 with 2 doubles, 3 bogey. Mostly short game errors. Felt happy that I only hit trees once on this super narrow course.

More reading of LSW. Like the phrase "The one great shot is an anomaly". I think I can do it, but can I really do it? :-(

      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?
