During a lesson a few weeks back some yahoo managed to hit a ball that ricocheted off a little sign, bounced backwards, and ended up hitting my truck, parked in the little lot behind us, Everybody looked at my truck then looked at the yahoo. When he and his friend finished and walked back to their parked cars I intercepted them to honestly ask how he managed to get the ball to go that way. He denied any involvement. I noticed everyone had stopped to watch the conversation. Haha. I stole that ball. Still in my center console cup holder. But it's just a rock range ball..,

haha, that seems to be the Modus Operandi these days..."deny and re-direct".

Yeah, it was funny. It hit the undercarriage so no harm - but it was really loud. And, when I saw that everybody was watching us in the parking lot I think they were curious to see if I was going to get into a fight or something - that was funny. I was very calm, even smiling about it. Haha...whatever. The offending rock ball now rides around town in my truck...

Custom fit RBZ irons. Taylormade RBZ driver. Some crappy old high-bounce Macgregor wedge and an even older Mizuno 5 wood. Haven't settled on a ball yet - still looking. Decades of football, weightlifting and boxing came together to create the world's worst golfer. I'm slowly correcting that now.

Didn't they do a study showing that range balls can fly both shorter or longer than premium new balls, depending on the properties of the unique ball itself?

Only when I hit them... but that has nothing to do with the properties of range or premium balls. 

All I know is that the ProV(isional)1's found in the woods at my course make great practice balls at home.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
