Day 66 (26 Aug 23) - Sat morning chip and pitch session w/PW and 54 in the backyard, before a long day of moving stuff for the missus.  Focus as always on setup (grip, stance, etc), today was more dialed on sensing the weight in the lead foot and creating a smooth flow through the ball.  Has been a long journey but to be able to put the majority of my weight on that left foot is light years from where it was when I started this journey.

Day 69: Aug 27

Continued to work on clubpath & forward lean with lots of 1/2 and 3/4 7-iron shots into a net. Felt like I was rotating the club through impact when generating speed (which felt like a new sensation, but not completely unfamiliar either). Something to explore with coach next time I see him. 
 

Broke up the session with some short game practice; both chip shots and short pitch shots. Lots of experimenting with different ball positions.

Day 4:

Played 18 this morning, 10 strokes better than last Sunday. Was bad off the tee all round, but made up for that with decent approach play and sharp short game.

Day 300, August 27, 2023

Was downtown for three hours after a birthday lunch. Didn't practice that whole time, but practiced for a little over half of it. Starting to get comfortable (just what @saevel25 wants to hear… starting, ha ha). Anyway, starting to add a little more of the "flow" back in, as that can make up for a lot of other things being a little funny.

Haven't hit a driver in awhile… so that'll be interesting. 😉

Day 118 -  Back at the range today. Filmed for Evolvr and figured out my weird pull draw/low hook shot that showed up at Harbour Town. I was simply standing too close to the ball with my woods. Gave myself a bit more room and instantly the ball flight was back to normal, pretty neutral flight and normal height.

Day 5:

Noticed my backswing was a lot more arm/hand movement instead of a good shoulder turn, so did some work on that to start. Then continued my drop/turn feel downswing work, however the feel has morphed into a drop hands / slide hips . Even though "slide" implies a straight motion, a "slide" feel actually syncs my rotation better than a "turn" feel.

Decided to sign up for Fit-for-golf and give it a try. Since I stopped bicycle commuting I don't get enough exercise for how much I like to eat (even though I walk 4-5 miles daily). I like the idea of having something more specific for golf motion, but that will have broader benefits as well. I'll start that tomorrow.

      Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      By iacas ·

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
