@iacas, speaking of interesting setups with a net, how did your inground net setup work for you guys this year?

It was really nice. Stayed surprisingly dry honestly and in good form. No rust.

That's one way to keep your head from going back.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I need that but in front of my head to help break the bad habit I have of my head moving forward once I reach the top of my backswing/into my downswing

Maybe there's a way to jury-rig a laser, so that when you break the light, it beeps, like for alarm systems.

I think a physical barrier is much more effective as it prevents the undesired motion rather than just tells you you’ve done it wrong.

You don't have a physical barrier when you play, though.

Yes but my take is that if you will do hundreds of reps in a manner that doesn’t allow the movement it will ingrain itself.

There's a lot of trains of thought on that. Ultimately, I think that things that "make" you do something are limited. There are three kinds of training aids, basically: those that make you do something, those that alert you when you do something wrong, and those that alert you when you do something right.

I think a mixture of those along with the use of things like mirrors and videos is the best solution, not just relying on one of those types of things.

I'll give you one guess what I'm hiding from...  burrrr

Thinking very seriously about a Skytrak for the winter setup.

A little snow shouldn't scare you...Send it down to us, we have none.  In fact, I've not lifted a shovel all year.    Is your garage heated?   It looks like the ceiling is tall enough for a full swing.    If my basement was tall enough, I'd buy a Skytrak but I don't want to heat the garage.

I don't think more people are setting up stations wherever they can because of the internet, I think we are seeing more interesting setup locations because of the internet and social media.

That top one looks like it's in a basement, and if my ceilings were high enough in my basement I would 100% do the exact same thing.

Also, I definitely clicked the play button multiple times on both images thinking that they were videos :doh:

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
