Hey everyone. Been a member since last year sometime and figured I should introduce myself since I’ve been lurking for awhile. I’ve been playing golf regularly for the last 2 years now and love the game, I’m pretty bad at it though haha. I shoot around 115-120 typically but really want to improve. 

Since my swing is the main issue, I just bought a net so that I can practice at home and focus on my form. Once I get that all set up I’ll take video and post in the swing forum. My driving and putting is decent but my big issue is contact with the irons. 

I was fit for a set of Apex CF16’s a little over a year ago and they’re amazing clubs when I make clean contact. Problem is I seem to hit much cleaner indoors vs outdoors as I have a tendency to swing way too hard on the course and lose control. I’m considering getting a set of Wilson D200’s to play for the season as I work on my swing fundamentals, since they’ll be more forgiving on the course and run about $200 right now. 

This forum has a ton of great information and I look forward to utilizing it to help my game.

Welcome to the forum!  This is a great place.  Lots and lots of knowledgeable people on here! :-D

Massachusetts?  I did a back-to-back tour of duty in the mid/late 80's in the US Coast Guard, stationed right downtown Boston, MA.  Lived in off-base housing near Dedham (12 miles as the crow flies - but yet it took you a good HOUR in commuter traffic!!! :-O )

:cobra: --- older model 454 Comp, 10.5° face, reg shaft.
:ping: --- old, classic set of i3+ irons, 3W, 5W, 21° Hybrid, etc...
:odyssey:--- an old DF550 blade putter that I just can't part with!
:titleist: --- NXT Tour, DT Tru Soft, and a few prized Pro-V1's

Oh yeah, traffic in and out of Boston is brutal. Could take an hour or it could take 3 .... you never know!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
