It’s been a long time since I looked at strike location since I’ve worked on the full swing. Put dots on a few balls with a dry erase marker and hit some balls into the net. I was really surprised to see that strikes that felt great were actually closer to the heel. And it seems that lately I’m hitting towards the heel more than expected. Below is a group of 6-7.

Doesn't look bad to me. From what I understand, some clubs, depending on weighting, have the sweet spot a bit towards the heel  Also, it's not like we can "aim" at the sweetspot. The best we can do is work on our swings and priority pieces, which will inevitably improve the number of solid hits. Swing looks good!

Thanks!  With all the weighting techniques nowadays to move the center of gravity to the center of the face, I wouldn't be surprised if the sweet spot was a touch heel-side since my irons are on the older end.  To be honest that picture is slightly better than average strike locations for me since I didn't thin any or let any sneak out to the toe.  It was moreso weird to see more strikes on the heel side than before.

    • They did have their first repeat earlier this year - on February 2nd I think - nice little easter egg type thing.
    • I think they have over 6 years of words and about 2500 words in the dictionary. No plurals, no proper nouns (like Mazda or Paris), etc. So, yeah, they're coming up on repeating stuff.
    • Yeah - there is a list of valid wordle words - I forget how many are on it, but it must be getting close to needing to repeat some. There are a lot more words that have five letters and work - things like plurals and verbs that end with -s or -ed, which are not in the word list and won't be the answer. Sometimes those words are useful to help narrow things down some, so they're valid words to use. Then apparently there are some words that are just "unusual" - that seems pretty obnoxious to me - especially when they're not really any more obscure than the actual answer that day. 
    • I have nothing to add other than the fact that I freaking hate playing in the wind. I'm a mental midget and any kind of wind completely throws me off.
    • When I got the right word out of 17, yes. Today supposedly there was only 1 word remaining, and I tried a bunch that were rejected. So less so today. I generally assume they're being jerks. So, when there are 10, I'm generally pretty good about picking one of the weirder ones and it works out.
