Day 18, May 22.  After work, and before heading out for my evening plans, I took the time for 12 really good practice balls (indoors, off a mat, into the net, 6-iron).  Slow rehearsal backswing once or twice per ball before an actual swing (with a slow backswing).

Day 73 - (22 May 26) - Friday men’s group shootout today - however it was a different day in that the overall game came around for me - drives consistent distance and in the short grass, approaches GiR or nGIR , no 3 putts all combining for a 3 over front (39), 3 over back (39) for a 78, couple that with 0 (zero) dbls or worse and a goal I’ve came close to completing - NO SIXES - a big whoo hoo for me.  All that plus a hole out birdie on 6….

Day 57: tournament day. Solid 77, +5. Got a brutal break with a fried egg buried in at the top of a bunker that led to a 7. Otherwise, 12 GIR, no lost balls, a lot of solid birdie looks. Very pleased.

Light day, but got my time in. Backswing work. Has to feel like a flip with a twist.

Day 19, May 23.  In addition to some practice this morning before leaving, I played 18 today.  I opened with a birdie, knocking off hole one on the composite for the TST birdie challenge.

      My Swing (StuM)

      By StuM · Posted

      I’m posting my Stack System results here. I’m not sure what to make of the information below, other than I have plenty of room for improvement.  I was going a little to fast at the  start and need to slow down and pay attention to the timer between shots. I hit some balls after this snd the launch monitor showed several were 245 total which I felt may have been a little generous.  They were good shots (for me) but just looking at the distance markers at the range I felt I was shorter than that.

      I've watched the video and I like Brendan's presentation. It explains exactly how they arrived at creating the original VisionTrack itself so many years ago.

      I am wondering if anybody has ever used these and if so did you use the 3.0 or the 1.0.  I think it might help prevent injury in my hips/groin that seems to show up every couple of years.  Would love to hear as well if they restrict swing in any way.   CORESHORTS | The Original CORESHORTS™ Revolutionary X band design mimics the functional anatomy of the body's core area to boost performance | Anti-odor technology prevents the growth...
