One of my issues, and the one that anyone that tees up with me for the first time comments on, is my speed in setup and hitting it ... after watching the vlog today and getting Mike's explanation I practiced his approach and setup ... I think it will slow me down a bit and get me more "into" the shot ... I am encouraged, and will put it into play on the next round ...

Went to Roger Dunn to test out all kinds of clubs. Did hip turn drills while testing them. Really like the way the Apex MB felt, but I'm looking for clubs that can be used on the course.

Warm up with my Orange whip.  Worked on a smooth swing tempo.  Driver over grass, no ball.  Smooth, fast swings.  Stay relaxed, but move fast.  Then a few swings with a weighted club.

Hit at my net trying to get the hip to fully rotate at impact. My weight is finally shifting more after hitting literally hundreds of balls!

9/27/15: Played 9 holes with Alina... I shot 39, Alina shot 54 (she's not even 2)... The best shot of the day wasn't even by me... It was Alina's Fairway Driver on 9 from about 80 yards... Nearly holed it for eagle, two-putt par... Lol... I worked on my short irons yesterday, and standing a smidge further away... What a difference... Took a couple holes to adjust... I tried to hit my usual 8-iron at the 145-yard, 2nd... Hit a gorgeous 7-iron at the 165-yard, Seventh, missed the fudging putt though... Alina was 15-over thru 5, finished bogey, par, double, par, lipped out her birdie putt on 7, after a brilliant 6-iron from 55 yards...

Putting on my 36" ruler board.  Worked on keeping my head still and rocking my shoulders.  Focused on the front of the ball and imagined driving a spike from the back to the front on each stroke.  Keep the follow through square to the target line.

Did some really slow mirror drill swings with a PVC pipe "club" at my office.

Putted in the morning with a friend, and lost the putting game on the first shot 9:11. I made every second putt, even the 8 footer, though. So, I mentioned that we tied all the holes. Love this new putting stroke. :dance:

      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?
