The fairways on left is for hole 2 and the one on the right is for hole 5

Yeah that’s my thought process. Dan Carraher has a drill of arm swing only. Basically it’s swing arms and body will rotate. I’m the backswing thought is to set wrists late without bending right elbow then samething in the follow thru without bending left elbow. There will be some bend on both.

First time touching a club in 3 weeks and first time at a range that wasn’t pre round warmup. Wanted to focus on just making shorter swings. Even with that thought inn the back swing I was at about full backswing length. Watching the swing and ball flight in the video it’s an ok looking swing but once I broke it down some old flaws are prevalent but with the lack of any practice this year I’m not surprised. Hips don’t get any depth in the backswing and I lose some connection with the arms and chest from rotation of the left arm. Wrist set was late so club gets behind me instead of vertical at left arm parallel. In transition hips spin out rather than left hip back and I don’t cover the ball with my chest. At club parallel in the down swing the toe is to far up and right arm is stuck a little bit, but I’m able to save the shot with some rotation. Winter work is going to be spent working on the drill I posted a few weeks back with the alignment stick on trail hip FullSizeRender.mov

Took some swings with the demo iron today. Intrigued despite the cost. love th sound on everything except a thin shot towards the toe but that shot isn’t supposed to sound nice. Didn’t feel like digging thru the fitting cart shafts so just stuck the trusty s300 in it. Feel was really good and not much vibration felt from non flushed shots

7 wins including the tour championship and the players with Tm in the bag. Contract money plus on course earning have him doing pretty well.

Along with Dlows post in random thread this hole but also this course came mind along with some previous threads about course management and people looking at their shot dispersion. Once you get to hole 5 things start to tighten up a bight off the tee depending on shot shape and really start to change on hole 7 & 8. The par 5s from 9 thru the back are open for drivers but second shots have some decisions to make. Theres holes where I hit driver now that I didn’t in the past in an effort to leave certain distances or because of hole layout. I’m a little more aggressive on some of the holes

Considering he selected TM based on ball and club combo performance I doubt it, also he’s under contract to play the ball, doubt he breaks that.

I like holes like this. There’s some goo aiming points and also layout that makes you think about options. At that distance it’s a 3 shot hole and depending on ones confidence club choice off the tee will vary especially with how tight it is all the way to green second shots are just as important. Since it’s #6 I’ve already hit the range played several holes and know what my driver is doing and if I’m going to have to worry about the pull or pull hook. The mark you have at 236 is right around my aim point and playing the fade a driver will move to the right some for me so I can squeeze that in there and not have to worry about cutting the corner but rather use hole layout to my advantage. If I’m not feeling confident then I’m playing fw off the tee and landing short of the 236 mark Thanks. The landing area leaves lots of room. The first 3 holes on this course have some room off the tee but they are all long holes especially from the blues. They all play from the whites if using the combo tees. But they are also well protected with bunkers, elevated tees and hills and thick rough. I’ve gone anywhere from +1 to +5 on those holes

Going to line up on the right side of the tee box and hit fade off the trees on the left. Unless I pull the shot anything left isn’t in play. As long as the slope isn’t too severe that forces the ball all the way to the woods then I’ll be fine. I’ve played a few courses that have similar slope and trouble on both sides. Always a fun time standing on the tee and figuring out what to do.

There are two tiers on the green. Not really a false front. The greens play hard and fast pretty much all year.

Yeah. For me I’m typically middle to right side of fairway unless I block it them I’m in one of the bunkers which then turns into a layup shot. But yeah from the fw I’m usually going right edge of bunker and trying to get middle of the green. Avoiding left side as much as possible since it’s almost a guarantee of not getting good lie or stance.

For the most part. The difficulty of the hole is the second shot in. Bunker on the left comes into play and what’s hard to tell is on the right side is pretty thick rough and it’s a hill. Into the wind really change the dynamics of the hole IMO. Second shot becomes about club selection and where to play into the green. I rarely see the pin in the front. It’s usually middle/middle, middle left or back left or middle.

Game changer

Lots of pros with lead tape all over their clubs. Some of them have the entire back of an iron or wedge loaded with it. Phil is famous for his

May be in the wrong forum but could be considered mental game. Dlow’s post in random thread reminded me of this hole. The course is Blue Mash which is a sister course of @Golfspy_CG2 old hole course Waverly Woods. The front and back nine play complexity different and the back nine is usually pretty windy compared to the front. It also has shorter holes. The first 3 holes play long from both white and blue tee boxes. This is hole 3. A par 4 and per scorecard white tees are 426 and blue 453. Red are 359 and green just slightly behind them. The course has a combo tee option and this one plays from the whites of using that option. The black circle is roughly where the 150 marker is. Tees are usually in the middle box where the tree on the left is. When I play there whites are anywhere from 400-430. Many times it’s into the wind which adds distance and difficulty. What strategy would you use to play this hole? For me I play a fade off the left side of the fairway to try and avoid the bunkers. My typical drive is short of the cart path that splits the fairway to about 20 yards behind it. Usually have anywhere from a 5i to my 4/5 wood depending on what bag setup I have into the green. It’s a hole that I don’t par often and play it to make no worse than bogey. Edit: #1 hdcp hole. The green is surrounded by a hill on the back and sides with thick rough.

Yes several people alluded to that after the op and then if you look at the subsequent posts from the op they are talking about the convenience of remote lessons and then asking if that would benefit a person that replied to a previous if they would benefit that person. OP joined, created this themes and replied a couple times and that’s it’s for activity

Tour issue is a .5g tolerance in weight compared to 1-2g for the standard DG shafts. The x100 will weigh the same as the Tour issue x100z the s400 are 134 which is 2g heavier than the s300 which is where the tolerances come in. S200 will be 127. The s400 tour issue are 130g

Doing the op is posting this looking for an answer. Op is posting to sell services. Either promoting skillest as an employee or as a coach

That’s what I was looking at too. Those who hit a fade should be fine. Looks like those with a high draw can be aggressive and take at the right corner

Hit it further off the and it’s a mid to short iron in depending on hole location. It if 220 is all somebody has then like you mentioned in the initial post the person is probably playing the wrong tees for the course

Hole 3 at blue mash is almost as long as a par 5. A normal drive for most people means long club into the green that’s protected a little. A really goo drive it’s mid iron in. Not impossible but hard. I’m usually on the front edge or off to the right

And IMO for some courses I would pay that plus to play them. Sometimes the experience is worth the price

I would make the switch to the 16.5. Changing loft as discussed runs the risk of more draw movement and possibly hooking the ball and the possibility that you compensate for this in your swing either before you swing the club or as a result of the ball flight you see from it. There’s also a good chance it changes the the overall ball flight from launch and spin which amy not get you the desired results. Also changing the loft is typically done to achieve a certain ball flight whether it’s to help a ball more right or left based on a persons miss, change spin and launch to better fit a persons swing or to fill a gap. With the 3w you are using it to fill a gap since it’s a distance club only for you so there’s no need to turn it down. Going with the 16.5 is killing two birds with one stone. 1) you get a better and more consistent ball flight 2) you will have a better chance of holding greens from it. The added bonus is you don’t lose distance

Do people in this day and age really need to be told to do research? People do it all the time for any product they are interested in or place they want to go eat or visit. How do people research any product they are interested in? There’s an entire world of knowledge and information at ones fingertips. It’s as simple as choosing a search engine and typing in whatever phrase, word or string they want to look up. The lack of individual accountability has to stop. I’m not in the know on CC’s interview and hiring practices or internal training, not have I visited any of their facilities to talk with their fitters so I can’t say how they hire or consider a fitter an acceptable employee or what determines their tenure with the company. Who is to say that or by what metrics is it determined that a fitter is incompetent or that they have a large scale problem of incompetent fitters? All we get is one sided story from a customer on their experience. It could easily be that the customer lacked the understanding of what a fitting entails, how a fitting is done or even failed to communicate to the fitter their expectations, their budget, their game along with not communicating thoughts on the club(s) that were used during the fitting. Fittings are a two way communication. CC has been around for a long time. The one I’m most familiar with has been around for more than a decade. Anyone in the modern technology era who goes there and chose not to do any type of search on their services is at fault for any bad experience they have. Now I’m not saying that CC doesn’t have any incompetent fitters but 1) I would say that’s less likely the case 2) why does golf get held to some higher standard and people act like there can’t be bad fitters, coaches, staff? Theres incompetent people getting paid for their services in all kinds of industries. I personally wouldn’t go to a CC for any club building work because of their price. I wouldn’t and haven’t gone there for a fitting because I prefer to see my entire ball flight unless it was the only option around.

Adding on to what as already covered. Without seeing launch monitor numbers it’s going to be hard to say what’s going on with distances.
