More alignment drills. Balls are going straighter.

Once I get on the course, I hope for some better scores. :-)

Swing mapping at the gym. I focused on getting my shoulders to rotate with my hips all the way to A9.

8/24/15: After a day of pulling everything I went to the practice area to work on it... It was mostly, my weight being too much in the heel, and quitting on shots and over closing the face on my hybrid shots... So I cured that with some easy swings at first and then picked up the tempo.

Today I anchored my head against my wall while working on getting my weight forward.  I did a slow back swing with my right triceps anchored to my rib cage. For the downswing I focused on pointing my knee at my target.

Hit one and a half buckets off grass doing alignment on every shot. Starting to get the feel for my alignment. The balls are still going straight. I noticed that my lead shoulder is more comfortable and turns more easily if I kind of "slouch" it forward. Reading through the wedge distance control stuff in LSW. Tried to mark off distances using "known" targets, but I forgot my rangefinder and it was more of a feel swing thing anyway. Going to get more serious about distance control starting tomorrow.

20+ minutes mirror work with focus on my new priority piece in my finish. I am rolling over my wrists too much from A8 to finish.

Played 17 holes... Quit on 18 because there were 3 groups on the tee box and 1 in the fairway when I got there. Played 17 holes in 1 hour 45, didn't want to spend another hour on the final hole. Not sure how everyone gets stacked up like that on the final hole, it's not even that hard of a hole.

Swinging very slowly focusing on my priority pieces. Spent a bout 30 mins in the backyard and living room.

Outdoor swings over grass, no ball.  Driver and 5h.  Working on smooth speed.  Keeping my left arm connected to my torso, folding the elbow after impact.  Hip slide/turn as always.  No tension so I feel the acceleration of the club head through impact.

Hit one more bucket to simulate the combine test. I have no idea about half the distances on the shorter side. Deciding which irons to hit. Practicing with my 4i just in case. . .

I hit nerf balls in the yard today. I worked on getting my weight forward while keeping my head behind the ball.  During my back swing I would keep my right tricep against my rib cage.  I recorded every swing to make sure I was doing what I intended on doing.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • 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?
