Consistency? nailed it... somewhat

[RayG]

Working on a tip with my path to the ball. I was getting a bit flippy and would be a bit wild off the tee. Mostly snap hooks that start straight, but not for long.

Trying to hold off a bit thru impact. Those are ball marks after a set of 6 swings after 2 sessions of Range work of learning the muscle memory. 4 were *slight* fades, but inside my imaginary fairway (between the yard markers) at the range. The other two were straight with a little turn over draw. Thought that was pretty decent result. That was the best of my 6 ball sets I use. Others would usually have a mark high toe which would be a weak hook., but no really snappy hooks for that session. Just have to keep working.

Nice!  That's a really tight cluster - jealous!

Love the fact that you can see the impact on the black driver face.  I have to use athlete's foot powder.  Having direct feedback of where I'm hitting the ball on the face is really helping me with consistency, even without making swing changes.  I see people on the range looking at me thinking "Why are you doing that?".  I'm thinking "Why aren't you doing that?"

The trick to seeing the marks? Lick the thumb of the glove and wipe the face clean from the previous set.

I've been playing for many years and can usually peg where on the face I hit it. this helps confirm my suspicions.

Thanks - I'll try it!

I can often peg area, but I picked up a new driver on Sunday (XR16) and it's taking me a while to feel the strike point.  I had a bunch veering toward heel-side strikes that felt fairly centered until I checked my impact marks.  With my old Titleist driver it would've been much more obvious feedback from the feel and sound.

Nice, just like a pro!

Bummer, I'm so disappointed. . . I was waiting for you to update your HC index.

Really love mine! Excellent club!
