    • 19 Apr update - Today was the first round with the SMS 7i back in action as I had sent it back to Edel to have them bend it 1deg flat and shorten by 1/2" and refit to a GP Tour Velvet midsize grip.  The wonderful part of this was that Edel did it for the cost of me shipping the club to them.  The verdict - the adjustments of the club made it go from a good fit to a really good fit.  Distance control and accuracy continues to be almost automatic.  Also this club just sounds sweet, as one of my playing partners said on the approach on 1 (our 10th as we started on the back) - "that was a rifle shot!".  Really digging this update - now a couple of more rounds and if all holds well, I will be talking to Edel about rounding out a full set of irons to go with this club as this is a single iron test.  
    • I played competitive golf from age 5 to 18, and was a scratch handicap before giving it up during my military service. I'm 45 now and starting back at the range, with the goal of getting back my game. After 6 sessions over the past month, my distance is almost back but my contact is incredibly inconsistent and I doubt I can break 90. Should I: A) continue to practice on my own until I rediscover my old form  B) seek lessons ASAP C) go to those cool (new-to-me) swing analyzer places D) just accept that my game won't get back to where it was
    • Short answer - Yes. I think you have to watch a lot to find a the precious few that can be helpful. Personally I've found a few concerning reading greens that have been good - tons are not. As a visual learner, I get value from watching golfers with classic swing mechanics. 
    • YouTube golf has made me way better. I'm tying my opinion pretty closely to my approximate handicap during my 4 years of high school golf. In my freshman year, I was probably around a 36 handicap (about double bogey per hole), and I don't think I scored below 100. I had a pretty flat handicap during my sophomore and junior years, at about 30 for the sophomore and 27 for the junior. In December 2022, I decided to get super serious about my upcoming final golf season. I was watching a ton of videos while also comparing my swing footage (GoPro high speed) to PGA Tour Pros to find out what moves to make and not to make. With all of the extra practice and swing changes, I was able to drop about 7 strokes in one month and enter January 2023 with an estimated 20 handicap. I booked my first ever lesson in late January and mid February of 2023. I did make some improvements, but not at the same pace as when I could learn as fast as I was able. My senior season was upon me, so I didn't make any more swing changes. I sarted and ended the 4th season with about an 18-19 handicap. When the season was over, I decided not to take anymore lessons after the first two, and I instead bought a Garmin R10 launch monitor. I went back to my schedule of thousands of shots with high speed footage and YouTube, but also with the aid of swing data. The ability to see data like club path, club speed, and attack angle made my handicap drop again by 5 strokes to 13 in two months (July 2023). TL:DR My handicap dropped by about 1.2 strokes per month in the past 16 months, mainly due to YouTube. I ended last year with an 11 handicap, but recently I've been scoring only 6-7 strokes over par. So, if I continue this trend to a single-digit handicap, I might end up being a college player that was coached exclusively by a GoPro, YouTube tutorials, and later a Garmin R10.
    • Just got the new BRNR mini this morning on a whim. Plan to play the 13.5* as my three wood. Range session was good and will be giving it a go tomorrow on the course.
