    I've been running through the analysis mode when I get a chance to putt without my kids wanting to get in on the action like this:

    While she's getting better, I sort of don't need her misses mixed in with my misses in my trending stats. 🤣
    I still enjoy the practice/analysis mode the most.  I've played a few 9 hole rounds alone and with the kids and don't love trying to read the green when the grid doesn't extend all the way to the hole.  
    But the practice/analysis mode has been awesome.  It's what I want to get out of practice time.  Can I roll it along my intended line, and can I judge the distance well.  
    Speaking of which, I'm finally starting to get used to the 30-50 footers.

    This session was really good outside of the first putt, which happened to be a 43 footer to start.
    Looking at my recent trends, I am consistent on the 0-15 footers.  I feel that I am in a position to make every putt in that range here. 

    For Medium putts I'll make a few of those while practicing and haven't really seen a strong left or right side miss.  I'm generally within .7 degrees left or right with an occasional bigger miss.  
    Long putts, getting better but man sometimes I hit one that just goes forever. haha. I still find those to be the hardest to visualize in my head but I'm sure i'm not alone there.  
     
    I wish there was a dashboard or some more interactive views of your progress.  Something on-line where you could click into sessions, review more metrics and just generally expand on the offering would be a cool next step.

    She insists we take turns. Haha
    I get the long ones and she gets the short ones. Unless she wants that one too. Then I get to go when she says it’s my turn!
    the LAB is working really well. I’ve always been a player with a feeling of “dead hands” and not trying to manipulate them so maybe I’m predisposed to enjoying torque free putting. 
    The on-course confidence over those mid-range putts is insane.

    @GolfSpy_BOS Stats are looking good, mine were all over the place starting out but finally getting fine tuned, I agree that something is needed to break down each session or even a review of each putt weather the stroke was pushed or pulled, face angle and then even maybe accumulative tracking of ball speed per putt. 
    I have been doing well up to 10ft then from 10 to 15 I get wonkie ... don't know why then from 15 on up to the 50footers I do relatively well with distance and direction.
    Maybe when your daughter is going to practice with you create a separate log in so it wont alter your progress and you both can still have fun.
    Is the Lab putter working well for you?

    Awesome to see some numbers coming in @Wib081
     
    Callaway has got some incredibly quick club builders and friends at UPS.  My lefty Ai200's just got in!  I'm working on a video for my first impression; shooting to have it up by Saturday.
    Sneakpeak:  They are gorgeous!

    Towards the end of the session last 25-30 minutes I found my swing and the clubs really took over and the forgiveness and ease of hitting well struck shot was so impressive even thinned and moderately fat shots held lines and went roughly the distance I was aiming for. Here is the chart from a selected few at the end and tbh I like the gapping a lot right now

    Again I went through the gapping meh played a 9 hole virtual and was meh. Went back to range practice got dialed in with driver ask @Michael.Sandoval33 and got a really good feel for the swing and timing with these suckers! I’m really excited to get to the course with them on Sunday. Might leave driver in the bag as it will lessen the iron testing opportunities after today lol.

    So I had a day today! Went for 2 hours at lunch to the track man range that is outdoors less data than the indoor place but still good. Below is the find my distance giant range chart I was all over but the good ones were still good. 
     

    I will say some of the balls that went straight had no business doing so. See this gem 

    what’s impressive is I was aiming off the right edge of the yellow green for the shot

    I tried the Ventus TR Red in the Qi10 on my last round out, just to see if I could get some on-course comparison to the Terra Forza...

    How'd I hit 'em?  2/14 fairways.... yeah it was not pretty.

    We are officially back in business! Got my hands on the new driver shaft. As a "thanks" for the replacement, decided to pick up another for the Mini (which is interchangeable with the 3w). Because I normally go heavier with the fairways/long irons and I had a couple swings match it at the fitting, I ordered the Red -- but in an awesome moment of customer service, Colin from TF e-mailed me almost immediately after the order went in (late Friday night) to make sure it matched what they were seeing and how the test was going (which he said he was following pretty closely). Instead, we settled on another Yellow for the Mini, but tipped an extra inch, playing length 43.75". It showed up really quickly, which was also nice considering the upcoming rounds. 
    Performance of the new stuff? Driver is back to my questionable start -- my driver swing has just felt a bit off / inconsistent, and I also adjusted a couple other settings on the driver head in my few Accra rounds, so I think I need to (1) readjust things again to get back to where things were, and (2) just figure out my driver swing in general. It's not like it's that bad -- we just did a French Lick weekend, it felt a bit off for 2-3 rounds but not too bad, on fire for part of another (front 9 was mediocre with a couple really bad fans tot he right; back 9 was on fire despite a cold top off the 10th tee that required hitting 3 off the tee 🍻 - even with that, still shot 79 from the Black tees at French Lick Dye with very good driver stats, which is my best round in quite some time considering it's 7200+ yds, 76.2/139), and then the back 9 in the last round was the worst I think I've hit driver all year (all over the place- hooks, block slices, only 2/6 even findable, but it was also holes 82-90 for the weekend, and we were all exhausted). 
    Then, there's the Mini -- with the extra-inch-tipped TF, it's phenomenal. It gets out there really well, like 270-280 off the tee. It's accurate (my only FW on those last 9 holes was with the Mini, and I think I only missed one fairway in probably 6 tee shots with it over the weekend). It...makes me wonder why I even have a real-sized driver. I can even hit it off the deck! Prior to TF, my first couple attempts off the deck went horribly, then finally caught one, then mixed. With TF, all off-the-deck attempts went quite well - most notably one just long-right from 260, one just short of pin high right from 280, and then a hit green from 270 (landed just short and bounced up). Some of that might just be figuring out how to hit this thing off turf, but the distance/accuracy combo has to have something to do with the shaft.

    I love the matte finish. Part of my setup is I hold the club way out in front of me to set my grip and make sure the club will be square before I bend, and the matte finish is so much easier to do it with. It does show ball marks alot more I feel like though. Gonna have to see what is left after caddy splash gets a go at them. The back profile is so clean looking. They look sexy in my bag.

    Work hijacked my day and postponed my range session until tomorrow. However my boss is aware I have an appointment for mental health, her suggestion lol, so I will be gapping for distance and putting the clubs through their paces before my Sunday round! I have continued hitting into the range (woods) behind the house and I can say I hit a decently toey shot that went straight as an arrow with the intended height! Loving the feel of the P and A wedges! I did get a few solid strikes in there as well this afternoon.
