Day 68: Range day! Worked on my drill for the majority of the session. Probably (definitely) went too fast with it, but I'm getting a decent feel for it. At the end, hit about 10 balls, just focusing on start line and curve. Very pleased with those results. Still work to be done, but feeling like I'm in a good spot for March.

Spent ten minutes with a 60 degree chip drill. 2 foot back swing and follow thru. Concentrate on using the bounce at the target. The target being a squeezable nerf object (used for stress)

Day 4 - Did slow swings with weighted club, followed by some putting practice. In the future I should remember to do the putting first.

Day 69: Nice mirror work on my drill today. Still need to be a little better on dropping the club, but it’s looking nice overall.

Seeing as my unlimited golf card is contingent on walking. Off with the wife and dogs for some more “conditioning “.

Hit balls for 15 minutes before lessons today. Tweak to the backswing, but mostly continued downswing work.

    • Day 15 - 2024-10-15 Mirror work. Watched one of my D1 players play today (67, plus -1 on the two holes he played to finish up a second-round 72). Well, you know what to work on… 😄 
    • Day 166 (15 Oct 24) - Worked with the 6i into the net today.  Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact.  
    • No. The Steelers aren't paying either of them very much. They're not gonna get rid of a SB winning QB in case Justin is injured or something.
    • It could be to exhibit for trade bait.   Some teams may be looking for another QB (Miami) and if Wilson plays well, the compensation could be large.
    • Ball strike is king. You hit with a glancing blow (hook or slice), your smash factor just decreases a ton. Having a face to path angle of like 20 degrees versus something like 3 degrees is huge.  Yea, getting in shape is a good idea all around. Power is moving something heavy really fast. So, increasing how much you can lift, then improving on how fast you can move it will improve your power. In general, I think the two biggest tests for distance is like a chest press and standing vertical high jump. Some people are gifted with fast hands, but having good lower body can amplify what you have. Using the ground the correct way really ramps up the rotation speed, and then that can get the clubhead moving faster. Still, the hands do get down from the top of the backswing really fast.  If you start gaining strength and power gains. Knowing how to use the ground properly is important. You can have all the leg strength, but if you are not activating it correctly it is a waste. That is where good mechanics come into play.
