Day 13: 12/08/2023:

Went to the range today and did a lot of work with a 6 iron. Nearly all of it in short blocks. 6 balls working on this, 6 balls working on that, rinse and repeat. I started with what is probably still my priority piece. But then I went back through a few of my former priority pieces just to make sure things are where I'd like them to be. I studied some of my notes, photos and GEAR's stuff from previous lessons and brought notes to the range to work on my "old" stuff. 

It felt like a really productive range session. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 403, December 8, 2023

Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY and MM. Hit the ball well, for the most part. Pleased with my work so far this winter, and I'm not even on the downswing stuff yet. A few times I forgot to use my legs because I was working on the wrist stuff.

Day 405, December 10, 2023

I'm counting the four different times I had to demonstrate chipping for ten minutes each as my practice today. I definitely got five minutes in while I was at Golf Evolution for 12 hours today.

    • I stumbled across these pictures of the PXG mini-driver. I hear PXG is going to call it The "Secret Weapon".    Gappy Hilmore (@allgolfequipment) • Instagram photos and videos 343 likes, 5 comments - allgolfequipment on February 26, 2024: "Via @golfwrx In hand photos of @ericjamescole’s new PXG Mini Driver: The Secret Weapon 🧨💣🔥🚀 #pxg #sugardaddy #pxgtroops #0811 #0211...  
    • 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.   
    • 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.
