  1. I spend most of my time working on my putting since it is something I can do indoors. I learned a drill from my putting instructor and use is extensively; just put a dime about 16"" in front of your ball and roll balls over the dime using different stroke lengths. If you can't roll the ball over the dime consistently you will never be a good putter. When I can get to a green, I setup 2 tees as a gate for my putter. I always see good things about the Orange Whip; I am seriously considering getting one. I do the research and compare reviews with the SKLZ equivalent, but never pull the trigger.
  2. Played really well yesterday and had my best round of the year. Starting to get things figured out and the new lower bounce wedge that I put in the bag has definitely improved my short game (I advise everyone to take the wedge test from the MGS blog and find the right wedge bounce for their game). 39/34-73 on the day. Playing really well the past couple of weeks; hopefully I don't loose what I have started doing.
  3. Based on the The 5-Minute Wonder Wedge Fitting! blog entry I decided that I needed to try a lower bounce wedge. Picked up an inexpensive used wedge to experiment and my chipping was like night and day. I know bounce is your friend, but took much can sometimes be a bad thing.
  4. Been contemplating replacing my R1 with something newer. Won a Srixon z355 which I hit well, but just not quite as long as the R1. Hit some other drivers but haven't found anything that really strikes my fancy. Need to get on a launch monitor and compare numbers. No bias toward brand, so anything is possible and with the equipment testing coming up I am eager to see the results. Been struggling with my chipping game and based on an old article on here, I am now in the market to replace my high bounce 54* wedge with a lower bounce 54*. I am thinking now it has to be the bounce since I can hit pitch through full shots well, but short pitches and chips are generally thin. I chip well with all the other clubs in my bag which has been really frustrating. Going to go through the one handed test from the blog article and see if my guess is correct.
