Day 99 - April 6, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Well, I intended to take an 8I to a large grassy area and hit some soft shots today, but even the first shot I hit made me recognize I need to give my strained muscle more time. So, I hit some short game type shots for awhile and walked around a good bit.

Day 1.Β  As per Erik's suggestion after my day-4 video of me attempting the COVID-19 drill, I spent some time looking at my grip.Β  I went back to the basics:Β  @mvmacΒ made a great thread for this (it's available under instructional content) and he also gave me a video tutorial almost six years ago which helped immediately -- at the time and several times since then.Β  Sure enough, the problems he was describing in that video appear to be manifesting again, so I spent quite some time trying to get the grip to be done the way he describes.Β  I then tried Erik's COVID-19 drill, day 4 again.Β  The club looked to me to be better -- not quite where it should be, but better than it was.Β  Sadly, I didn't get video (I need to charge my camera), but I'll do this again tomorrow and hopefully it demonstrates some improvement.Β  Then I'll continue on the COVID plans.Β

Day 100 - April 7, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

I felt okay after filming another week's worth of videos that I made some slower motion swings with my 7I focusing on my backswing pieces. Hit most of them well, really, considering they were at… 70%?

Day 2.Β  More grip work, it doesn't feel good (which, as I recall from all good grip changes, is a good sign).Β  But the club is hitting what appears to be the right spots.Β  Went back to the same drills that led to this discovery.Β  Timing today kept me from getting video.

Day 39 - Rain let up so I was able to work on a few things outside.
Β 

  1. First, I did the Day 8 COVID putting drill. I did this inside first then outside where I filmed it.
  2. Next, I worked on my Priority Piece with the driver for about 15 minutes.Β 
  3. I moved on to work on hitting the center of the driver face using some old fitting tape. This was from the LSW videos. I tried a couple of shafts and found one was easier to hit the center. Oddly, it was the longer shaft by about 1/2”.
  4. I then worked on partial wedges up to my 9 irons. Focused on the same palmar flexion feel even with a shorter swing.
  5. Lastly, I did some chipping and pitching from the COVID drills.Β
