Day 1: 6/11/23

After a trip to Chicago and missing a day I completed Stack Neural training tonight. Finished with 112 e-speed under max intent. Slightly slower than my high speed.

Putted through 5 cm gates and only hit the post 3 times in over 50 putts gap from a foot, which is good for me on carpet.

Day 10

Reviewing grip work (my swing thread). Working on backswing to horizontal and looking at back elbow position.

Day 49 - Did more driver work and more wedge practice especially with my 1/4 and 1/2 50 degree and my 1/4 lob wedge.

Driver is getting better with the new feelings. Starting to build up a little confidence.

Day 2: 6/12/23

Wright balance exercises followed by slow motion backswing drills to improve width.

Finished putting through 5 cm gates and was not as successful as last night. Hit at least a dozen gates with around 54 putts. May have lost count during a poor stretch.

Day 1: was at a point I was standing over the ball on the course with way too many swing thoughts. Put it away for a bit and back at it today. Worked on good set up. Mainly hips over ankles. Narrower stance. Moved the ball a touch back in stance. Hinge my wrists earlier and allow my body to react to that. Most of it is just set up. The wrist set/cock/hinge was because I felt as if I set late and could be all over the place in transition. Promising. 


Day 8 - worked on start line with my putter using the ruler drill.

Day 11

Largely a repeat of yesterday on grip/backswing. Tried some very limited impact exercises, 3 balls about 1.5inch gap trying to make clean contact with center ball. Noticed even at slow and 50% backswing i'm catching toe side ball and heeling centre ball. Adjustments being made and better towards end of exercise but will need more repititon.

Day 3: Jun 13

Played 18 holes and plenty of positives to take out from it but some mental errors cost me. It’s completely clear to me now that my next performance leap is going to come from playing as much as possible - making the right decisions, making sure I’m aligned correctly and so on. The more golf scenarios I’m exposed to, the greater the chance that I recognise similar scenarios in the future and know what to do…and what not to do.

Granted there are course-specifics that come into this. But I have a fundamentally functional golf swing. What I need to learn now is how to play golf.

Day 50 - Quite a bit of rain on and off today so just did some putting indoors focusing on that feeling of putter going inside on the way back. Start line has improved quite a bit recently.

    • Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net. 
    • I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product. 
    • 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.
