Day 13 (28 Nov 22) - Worked on club impact with ground (actually the carpet in the shop).  Focused on striking the carpet post ball position.  Setup was near the edge of the rug so I could see club either going out to in or in to out.  Went well until I took the handlebar off the grandkid's old Lightnin' McQueen motorized scooter (oops).

Day 14 (29 Nov 22) - Worked on hitting ball first then ground by using two tees (ball on one, the other to mark where the ground impact target zone).  Did the drill while working through the club groups (wedge, short & long irons, metal woods) while hitting hard foam balls.  I recently repainted the balls so I had good reference on where I was striking the ball.

day 0: Spent time swinging cack-handed, and then switched to normal grip focused on keeping the right arm in front of me.

I've been working on my game a ton lately. But not recording as I knew I would have a few days off during Thanksgiving. 

So today is:

Day 1: 11/29/2022

Went to the range. Hit balls working first on my priority pieces. Mostly with the six iron, but I repeated the work switching clubs occasionally. 

After that I hit a dozen balls to different targets from 40 to 90 yards. (Shot scope tells me my 50 to 100 yard wedge game is a glaring weakness.) 

I finished off the range session by "playing" the first 9 holes of the course the tournament I play every year.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Day 75 (24 May 26) - Rainy day, got a few minutes of flighted pitches w/Pw - focusing on flight window and distance control.  
    • 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.
    • Baseline fine, and boy do I have room for improvement.
    • 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...
