Day 40 - Pre-putt routine work today. Focused on keeping my eyes on the line, not freezing over the ball and starting with a trigger.

Day 90, January 29, 2023

Good 30 minutes today. Nearing the end of the "backswing" work. Might extend it for a little bit with some HackMotion work to Valentine's Day.

Day 59: 01/29/2023

I'm still working on backswing work. Been doing it a lot in the mirror. Today mostly slow motion, but I also used the pvc pipe and the no club thing. Gotta get myself more video soon.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 19/20 jan 29: got feedback from my evolvr submission and spent 5-10 minutes watching it working more on my setup with the wall. Plan to spend a lot of time the next little bit doing it. I’m finding it difficult 


Day 29: Mirror work again. Same thing as the past few days - grip, A2, and speedier in the early backswing.

Day 20/21 Jan 30, 2023: Have spent time today getting into proper setup a couple inches from the wall and in front of a mirror. Had a bit of an aha moment where it took a bit of a different routine to get into posture. Instead of standing and then bending at my waist, stood like normal then kinda shifted forward to ensure my weight was on the balls of my feet and then bent. Kept the butt off the wall and kept me balanced differently. Now I gotta make that stick,

Day 60, Jan 30, 2023

I did mirror work combined with running to the garage to try to recreate the feel I would have in the mirror. 

I also reviewed my recent videos of my swing.

Dude, I know you mean priority piece, but I am far too immature to read that you've been focusing on your PP and not giggle. 🤣

Day 61, January 31, 2023

I had a good day of practice today. Got to the range and worked on my priority pieces (PP...🤪). I did mostly block practice with my 6 iron before switching to some random practice trying to perform the same swing with the same focus on priority pieces with my wedge, my 5 wood and my driver. 

Then I spent about 20 minutes hitting lob and/or sand wedge to a number of different targets from about 20 yards up to just under 100 yards. 

Later, I happened to be visiting a customer out near a Golf Galaxy so I went inside and test drove a couple of drivers. That was fun, but nothing impressed me enough to feel I'd need to make a switch. I hit the Callaway Paradigm, The Cobra AeroJet, and a couple of the new Titleist offerings. I maybe hit 5 balls with each.

Day IVIII:

This morning, sheltered from the frosty New England winter in my humble abode, I endeavored to continue my journey to become more skilled at this beautiful yet frustratingly painful game known the world around as ‘Golf’. Using slower motions, I labored on my motus prioritas, priority movement in layman’s terms, to improve the repeatability of the proper hand, arm, torso coordination needed to effectively deliver the club face to that tiny dimpled orb. I labored for the better part of one quarter of an hour.

Henceforth, I will reference this athletic labor as ‘working on my MP’, so as not to illicit mirthful reactions from our 7th grade level membership who attended primary and secondary educational institutions in the greater Chicago Metropolitan Area.

Day 42 - Since I can't top @boogielicious's erudite description of his practice today, I won't even try, LOL.

Busy day today so just a few minutes putting practice (mostly on pre-putt routine) and chipping with my 49* wedge and an AlmostGOLF ball.

    • Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.   
    • One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly. 
    • Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
