Day 22:

Hit some balls with 4 iron, focusing on steady head/path. Used Mevo plus to measure. Feel like I need a physical restriction to keep my head from bobbing out ahead of torso.

Day 18: So, hit balls in the out building. I had posted a video of my swing and received some coaching on what was going on. Had to recalibrate some feels. Had to focus on my lead knee not just bending straight, but rather turning in and moving towards the ball a bit. Also, not getting my hips pushed forward with a straighter trail leg. The front leg work helped the trail leg stuff and seemed to make falling into lead side much easier. Positive session.

Day 14/15: 8/9 Apr

A few minutes of takeaway practice on day 14, a longer repeat of the same on day 15. Since I’m sometimes leaving the clubface open at impact I want to make sure I’m not introducing the issue by the top of my backswing. Lesson on Wed will focus on understanding why/when I’m opening the face.

Day 16: 10 Apr

Played 18 holes and went -2 nett. This was despite blustery conditions (15 mph with gusts of 25+ mph) and two blowup holes on 12 & 13 where I shot +8 gross. Whilst saddened slightly at not posting a new PB I’m delighted at how I played the rest of the round, including not letting the disaster on 12/13 bother me. Played the last 5 holes +3 gross.

Day 44 (10 Apr 23) - plans to play nine with a good friend fell thru, so I worked with the driver and hitting into the net in the backyard.  Played around with club setup behind the ball to get a bit more heel or in the middle or toward the toe.

Day 18: Went to the range for the first time today. Nice weather here. Worked on my lead leg not bending out over my toes. Loading up on back side. Had a fantastic session. Really happy. Had some so so swings but the move was really smooth. Glided through the ball.

Day 17: 11 Apr

More takeaway/backswing practice, focusing on making a full turn and putting the club in the “right place” at the top. Also worked on transition, trying to maintain the sensations that I’ve been working on with my coach through impact of an imaginary ball.

Day 19: Stack training and maintained 109 swing speed I hit in Sunday’s session.  Felt great and thought I would surpass 110. PRGR speed device stopped working midway and it took a while to restart even with new batteries. Looking forward to Thursday!

Day 45 (11 Apr 23) - day trip to beach place, so today was 9i in the sand - wet hard pack or gentle fluff.  Makes you realize why modern wedges have the soles they do as the 9i is an old Spalding Johnny Palmer Tournament iron.

    • Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
