Day 4: 11/30/2023:
Outdoor range again today. @klineka Yep, the Westerville one. There's also one with heaters in Dublin. 

So, today I did much the same as I did yesterday, only I did it a bit better yesterday. 

Started out working on my priority pieces with the 6 iron. Then moved to the 9 iron, then the driver and finished with the 3 wood.

After that "I played" the course that my tournament is held on every year. I did not do as well as yesterday. But I still feel as though my swing is in a descent place. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 1 (01 Dec 23) - new month, another restart (did practice yesterday, just failed to post) - so we start again.  Today worked on putting pace, distance control - using a version of the step drill: first putt to a set distance (approx 12’), second to within a foot of the first, but not past; if successful, next putt to finish about 2’ shorter and then to follow-up with a putt within a foot, but not past, etc.  Worked the drill to where I got to 3’ and blew it past.

Day 7:

Backswing work with mirrorvision. Not sure why I stopped using mirrorvision, it’s really helpful. Hit a few balls after indoor work, and did an easy fit for golf workout.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      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.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      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.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      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.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      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.

      By iacas ·

      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.
