Downswing stuff. Did much better at slowing down and getting it right.

Day 110 (20 Aug 24) - More work at the net…added ball behind the head of club drill - where you work on takeaway to where your club head knocks the 2nd ball back in the takeaway so that you are not too quick pullling the club up but rather keeping the arms extended promoting a longer arc into the ball in the downswing.  Much more solid ball contact- can feel the thinned vs the fat bs the solid strikes.  Hit a total of about 30 balls over the course of an hour..

Practiced for two hours (was downtown for five, so it may have been three) in the morning. Then played 12 holes at WW in the evening.

Day 111 (21 Aug 24) - More work with the net today, continuing the ball behind the club takeway drill - moving the ball farther back to keep the club lower longer.  Was a good, solid session - starting with 9i and finishing with 5h.  Ball contact is getting more consistent.  Hoping to take this to the course tomorrow - have a 9hole round scheduled with a good friend.

Day 12:

Mostly backswing work in mirror as I think I’m overdoing a feel. Worked a bit on downswing but it was dark didn’t get much in.

Day 35: range night. Hit 40 balls, just focused on start line and shape. Was really good. Then chipped for about 30 minutes, working on mostly lower chips with a few higher shots. A good improvement with a few small tweaks from my Evolvr!

Day 112 (22 Aug 24) - weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  I switched it up, putting the MacGregor blades, Toney Penna persimmons and Spalding putter sand wedge into play.  Shot about what I usually do. The course pro loved that I had them…they are a challenge to hit the sweet spot…

Day 13:

Focused again on backswing tonight. Mostly because I have a good sense of when I do this right, and I can play satisfactory golf this way. Still struggling with downswing change - when I slow down it's decent, but still can't translate to full speed. Hoping to have some daylight practice this weekend with camera and Mevo+ to compare data to prior lesson notes.

    • Interesting.  To me "a cup" is a unit of measurement just like "a ball" is in this scenario. To me a ball out means "the aiming spot is the width of one ball from the edge of the hole", so Y, and half a ball out would be Z. Just like half a cup is C and a cup is B
    • A cup out is B and a ball out is Z. A cup is a unit of measurement like an inch and a ball out means edge of the ball to edge of hole, as in entire ball out of the cup. Not sure how and when I arrived at that, but that's where I'm firmly at.
    • Because there's a difference between a ball and a hole. A ball is easy to imagine "replace this ball with the one you're hitting," while a hole provides an "edge" and isn't really something you'd "replace" with the ball you're putting. I'm fully on board with "B" being the choice above, but I also think that many would choose "Z" if you say "a ball out." I get their logic: the entire ball is "out" of the hole, and people can picture aiming their ball at that ghost ball. But, yes, it differs from the way we talk about a hole, and that would make "left lip" and "half a ball out" the same. Yes, it feels inconsistent, but a cup and a ball are not consistent either, and I just know I've seen some contentious polls on "a ball out" more than I've seen them get contentious over "a cup out." FWIW I rarely use balls as the aiming point because of this. I feel pretty comfortable that most people will say B, but I've seen enough "ball out" polls to see that a lot of people pick Z. Yeah, I was bugged by you saying something that was almost a half inch difference at Sand Valley. 🙂 I forget the details but I think I asked if you played it a ball out (1.68") and you said something like "yeah, half a cup (2.125")." Then I said "which is it?" and you said "they're the same thing" as if the half inch didn't matter… 😄 Heh.
    • Sounds like perhaps too much ulnar.
    • For me, "a cup out" means I am aiming at a spot just over 4 inches outside the edge of the actual hole, #2.  For "a ball out" I'm doing the same thing, aiming at a spot about 1.7 inches outside the hole.  Its a lot more crucial for "cup" measurements, the difference between #1 and #3 is over 4 inches, enough that a misunderstanding could result in a complete miss.  When the difference is 1.7 inches, a misunderstanding might mean the difference between left-center and right-center.
