Day 109: Working on AimPoint today with my slopeboard.

Day 394

Worked on my swing  balance, swing speed, and timing this morning.  

What I worked on was swinging  my hands the same speed on my full swings. By swinging my hands the same speed, the different length shafts, and club heads get to do the jobs their various lofts intended them to do. The speed I swing at, is near the max speed I can swing at, and still keep my balance.

A consistent swing speed, when used with my same brand game balls, also gives me consistent (+/-) carry yardages through out my bag of clubs. 

Too many times I observe golfers on the range, with inconsistent swing speeds, which of course is poor practice time spent imo. Without consistent carry yardages, it's hard to record consistent "good" scores

Before my full swing session, I worked on consistent 1/2, and 3/4 swing speeds. I varied the swing speeds to mimic those "finesse" shots I run into all the time when playing for a score. Some swings were more arms, and less body. Others were with normal body, with arm movements. 

I guess the key point of this practice session is to maintain consistency in my scores, which at the end of a round is all that matters.

Day 116, January 30

Filmed my swing indoors at my gym using Mirror Vision App. I was able to get some slow motion too, even with the poor lighting. Focused on head at set up, pitch elbow in transition and flatter left shoulder turn through impact per my Evolvr lesson.

Day 30, 30 Jan

0utting for 10 minutes, working on a steady stroke.

 

again working on my swing plan with a 7i, and 15 minute lesson with my driver. Continued to hit the driver for another 49 minutes, working on takeaway and keeping head over the ball.

DAY 429    Glad to get out again.  Spent almost three hours on the range working on my drills to improve my swing mechanics, stay more centered, and improve my impact position.   Then went out to play some golf... made it through 17 holes before it became dark.  Hit a lot of great shots and some lose ones... and will tidying in those up.  Hit 11/17 GIR ,..  made one birdie on the front nine, on the back we did not putt any green as the guy I was playing and I were were strictly focusing on ball striking.

Day 351 - January 30, 2019 - Got in some good work today. Started off feeling really badly, but realized I wasn't really using the lower body on the downswing because I was focusing on the arms so much.

[DeadMan]

Day 110: Did mirror work on my full swing today. Working on softening my wrists in transition and closing the face a bit.

Day 117, January 31

Indoors again today and most likely until Saturday. Did mirror work hitting foam balls into a net with a 6 irons. Again focused on head at set up, pitch elbow feel and left shoulder rotation through impact and extending right arm through impact. I didn't film today.

Day 395

Just some warm up swings on the driving range to prep for a 10 am, or sooner tee time. 

Went through my entire bag a few times. Finished up with the club, I will tee off with on the first three holes. Also the same club I will be hitting fairway shots on the holes too. 

No putting warm up strokes, as the first couple of holes will tell me how the course's greens are playing today. 

Playing today with some younger guys who will be new friends by the time these 18 holes are over.

Day 31, 31 January 

Short if time today:

10 minutes carpet putting, from 12ft. My focus was on my stance, over the ball, and a steady stroke. I’m seeing decent results.

Then, it was out to the garage for 20 minutes working with my driver on my takeaway- resolving a recent issuing of starting outside. I got good rotation through the ball and a more balanced finish. It felt good.

Day 430     Spent 2 1/2 hours on the range, working on swing mechanics (rotating versus swaying, AND improving my impact positions), as well as going through the Super Speed System Protocol to continue working on my swing speed.   Home for a late lunch then back at it.  This time I worked for 90 minutes on the putting green using one drill - putting through the narrowest gates on the Pelz Putting Tutor.

Day 352 - January 31, 2019 - Practiced my AimPoint reads. 🙂 Then… taught an AimPoint class.

Day 4:

Yesterday was missed, and today I’m traveling so only five minutes of Mirror Work without a club. Just feeling some positions. 

[DeadMan]

Day 111: Same thing as yesterday. Full swing mirror work, working on soft wrists in transition along with a slightly more closed face.

Day 396

Short pitches, chips, and flop (lob) shots

Pitch, and chip focuses were on hitting my landing area, 18-24 inches on the green, after green reads, with different clubs, to different practice pins. 

Flop shot focus was on landing the ball as near as possible to the targeted practice pin. A drop, and stop shot so to speak. 

All shots required an accurate body/posture alignments, as well as club face/intermediate target alignments. Also paid attention to swinging along my shoulder line.

Day 118, February 1

Indoors again today with driver. Did mirror work hitting foam balls into a net and filmed it. Again focused on head at set up, pitch elbow feel and left shoulder rotation through impact and extending right arm through impact.

DAY 431   Some days you just have to grind it out!!  So today I spent 2 1/2 hours almost exclusively on one drill.  It was the feet together drill, where I used a PW and a 48 degree wedge.   I am trying to insure my first move down is not my head moving forward toward the target, ....   the better I did it the more crisply and accurately I hit the ball.  I am thinking this is really going to be helpful.... as I continue to build a better swing.

Day 32, 1 February 

I should have switched to bold a few days ago.

20 mins of warm-up with a 8i. I then dedicated 90 minutes to my driver. In the end, it wasn’t the most productive session as I couldn’t stop launching the ball too high at +20 degrees. I played when tired, I should have stopped...... 

There’s always tomorrow
