My bad, 98 club head speed, and 132-133 ball speed. Yea yea, show-off 😛

Went up to Erie for a golf lesson with @iacas Two and a half items 1) Shorter backswing (hello old friend) - Feel mostly turn only, straight arms, stop backswing when golf shaft is vertical to ground (I might make this more of a turn feel or arm position feel), slight pause. *Video Check - Hands do not get behind my head and the club is at a 45-degree angle from parallel on the face-on view. 2) Downswing - Feel the downswing being arms only. Send hands out away from body to neutral out swing path. The body will turn. The key is going to feel the pause to set up the feel of arms down. If I turn first and add right elbow bend, I am screwed. *This one might be difficult to check on video. The feel right now is very distinct. I was very much a turn the body first, then lower the club with both the arms and side bend. When you don't do any of that, you can feel it. I feel way taller through impact as well. 2.5) Straighten left knee sooner. Pushing my left hip up and back by pressing into the ground with my left heel. Kind of something to work own, but not necessarily a priority right now. Shot Shape versus Feel Straight shots (slight draws) will feel like slight pulls for now. I was hitting 5 yard pulls, and it felt like I was going to miss the green left. Just perception versus reality. I got plenty of ingrained intuition of what a good shot shape is for a path that is heading 6+ degrees out. The new path is going to be like 1-3 degrees out, maybe close to neutral if I really exaggerate the feel. That is a pretty big change in path. The feel through impact is just different. On a side note, I was hitting my 7 iron like 8 yards farther. 🤯. I am kind-of scared when I use my legs better. It's probably due to the following. 1) De-lofting the club better because the arms are getting down better. 2) Presenting better launch conditions (15-16 VLA, 5900 rpm, 115-Ft peak height, 98 mph ball speed, 1.34 smash factor, 193 carry). 3) I was probably using my legs a bit better because I don't need to keep the left knee flexed. It wasn't like I was trying to be very dynamic in using the ground for power. Chipping & Pitching Much more straight back and up feel for both pitching and chipping. Lots more shoulder tilt in the backswing, and keeping the weight on the left side during the downswing and through impact. I need to pivot left and up, not re-transfer my weight back to the right side. I need to take a way shorter backswing. I was able to hit those low spinners. I may need to invest into some new golf balls at some point this year. *A good drill for me would be to set up facing a wall, and feel like the club goes up the wall. It won't, but it gets the club on a much better swing arc. I was actually trying to picture that a wall was right on the other side of the ball and I had to swing up the wall while hitting some shots today.

Yea, it was let’s do a chipping contest, and @iacas drains it. 🤣

If the base golf shaft is like 95% optimal for you, I don’t see it worth it going for the 300 dollar up-charge. go get fit and do a comparison.

He is saying 12% chance, so 12 out of 100 would beat tiger on one hole in an 18 hole round. That would be 1800 holes played. What if Tiger hits a ball OB? The odds in that moment jump to better that 50/50.

I don’t. What if a 10 handicap makes three birdies in a round. Just caught a heater. Not that uncommon. Then Tiger would have to match.

Yep, I almost flagged an 8 iron just exaggerating my right elbow backswing stuff 🤣 I am sure I might get some stalling. Maybe the sequence is a bit out of sync. I also tend to flip more when I overswing. Doing really good. It’s rejuvenated me a bit. I’m going to start weight lifting soon.

Probably hurt him a small bit. I am pretty sure Ward didn’t throw. He probably over evaluated his skill. Which may be his entitled attitude. I agree with the pick at that point. I think he’s closer to an end of the day 2 pick than a day 1 prospect. There has been plenty of QB’s who had similar numbers that don’t thrive in the NFL. It’s easy to get a high comp% in college and put up big numbers. 1) Colorado had to score a lot to win, so they aired it out. 2) The level of competition is low. Against FBS teams with a winning % he was 70% with 7.5 y/a. Lots of short easy stuff. Versus Will Howard who had 75% with 9.5 y/a. That 2 y/a is huge. Cam Ward, 67% at 10 y/a. Look at Joe Burrow, 75% at 10.2 y/a. He was unable to read defenses well enough against FBS teams with winning % to push the ball down field. I get his o-line was bad, but Miami had an average O-line, not elite and there is a noticeable difference between the two QB’s. They should never been talked as 1A/1B.

Shedeur Sanders and the Gulf Between Self-Perception and Draft Reality - The Ringer The Colorado quarterback approached the draft process like a sure-fire first-round pick. After an unprecedented free fall, it was clear the NFL’s... “His college tape looked like Caleb Williams without the elite physical arm talent,” an NFC coordinator said. “I’m sorry: You can’t play that game at this level. So, you’ve got to be banking on him making a jump from a decision-making, in-the-pocket, on-time, under-pressure [perspective], where you don’t have evidence of that on tape. That, to me, is why people are going to be nervous about him. He’s not going to extend plays the way he did at Colorado. Nobody does, unless you’re Lamar (Jackson), Josh Allen, Kyler (Murray). Those guys are elite athletes. He’s not. So, it’s going to be a very different game he’s asked to play. I’m not saying he can’t do it. But that’s where the hesitation is going to come into play.” There is an honest assessment of his game. He is a pocket passer, with bad processing, waiting for the WR to get open. You throw in the level of competition he was facing; you got to downgrade him some more. Yep, he is 100% a developmental guy because he needs to learn how to play QB from the pre-snap to post-snap looks and then making quick smart decisions.

Yep, I know. 😉

Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%. Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time. Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more.

I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude. Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering. Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

VO2 Max - High intensity cardio Ankle Mobility - Part genetics and part life style. Some good ankle mobility stuff over at TPI. Sodium Loss - Some people sweat out a lot of salt. It’s important to not just drink water, but replenish you salt. Sodium is crucial for muscles and neurological functions. Look into those electrolytes powders. Something with equal parts potassium and salt is the best. The top two are overall good for health and wellbeing. The bottom two more so for athletics.

Count me in on Sunday.
