Day 8 - Practiced pitch shots with my 60* wedge, followed by the "3-tee" drill with my driver. Regarding the later, trying to focus on hitting the first (which I frequently miss) and second (long) tee while completely missing the third due to positive AoA.

Day 73: Mirror work today. Working on my feels from my drill; I think it's getting close to the time to incorporate them into my swing.

Day 1:

Had a lesson yesterday and want to start up a practice routine again now that it is light after work, and winter is almost over. Normally practicing throughout winter in CA is no problem but this season was extraordinarily wet. Hopefully no more atmospheric rivers for awhile.

Setup work - shoulders too open, and also upper body too far forward at address. Worked on getting shoulders more closed, and feeling like I my torso is a bit behind the ball. Need to set up tripod to check this to not overdo it.

Swing path work - from the top, feel like hands are dropping down and behind me. Did multiple rehearsals of the move and then hit a ball. Did 15 balls at slower speed, and then 3 at full speed. Doesn't feel like a powerful transition move, which makes it hard to trust right now, but swing and ball speed are good when I do it well.

Day 136, March 16, 2023

Twenty mildly frustrating minutes. Not quite flushing it like roughly this time point the last time. Need to record something. Probably just not doing it extremely enough.

Day 2:

Worked on setup in patio door mirror, focusing on ball being around left ear. Attempted to hit a few balls later but it was too dark.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Day 2: Speed training session
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
