Day 14 (22 Mar 26) - Continued work with takeaway in keeping the club going back and not around behind my back using the 7i.  Hit a few hard foam balls in the process - good session even with gusty winds.

Day 16 (24 Mar 26) - Restart of monthly church men’s grp 9-hole scramble.  Saw much better shot results (attribute to focusing on the takeaway).  Best part of the round was the finishing par 3 ninth.  Three of us miss the green, my nine yr old grandson (who is our 4th) hits it pin high 6’ left of the flag from his tee roughly 120yds. We tell him it’s his honor to make the birdie - he drills it center cup….one proud grandpa!

Got a bunch of swings in on Swing Coach. I have a good idea what I have to do in the downswing.

    • I'm wondering if there's a reason your priority isn't working on your pretty intense version of starting the downswing by thrusting your right hip towards the ball and rotating your shoulders, forcing you to pull way across the ball?
    • This is very much what I was thinking when I first read it through, but then he mentioned that he feels like he hits the hybrid and 7W solidly, but not the 3W. Last time I got fit, the fitter explained to me that the main thing with the shaft is to get you into a shaft that you can return the club to the ball accurately with. That makes me wonder if it really is a shaft issue and not just insufficient loft (it could be both too). @rod7515 - I would say look at what shaft you have in your 7W and try to match that in your 3W. It might want to be a little bit lighter and a little longer than the 7W shaft. When I say match, I mean brand, model, flex, etc. All of it except maybe a half inch longer and 10 grams lighter.
