Had such a great session on the range yesterday, getting my distances and pure strikes
Don't hide the beer! Sounds like you had a good time!

Worked on my takeaway and the top of my backswing today. I find that my downswing is perfect when I take care of things properly in my backswing.

I bounce back and forth between 14 way and 6 way bags. Sometimes having the ability to quickly dump a club back into its designated spot without having to search for its exact hole is nice. Also, it is much easier to fit a putter nicely into a 6 way bag.

I have 7 or 8 but I really only play with 1 or 2 of them. The others are just collecting dust.

If you don't have a good backswing then it makes it significantly harder to have a proper downswing. Good players can make it happen but a good backswing can fix almost all of the issues.

Greyson could give Tiger his own line and a percentage of all items sold. That would be my best guess how they get it done.
They probably would give Charlie his own line, too. This would probably be a little extra incentive for Tiger.

Don’t forget Charlie was wearing Greyson at PNC. Maybe TW heads to Greyson?
Does Greyson have enough money to even make this happen?

I love the Nike golf bags so I hope they do not stop making them.

I had a lesson today. Really didn't work on anything new just cleaning up my setup and the top of my backswing. Overall it was successful. Trying to get down to scratch by the end of next season.

I know an instructor who runs another golf website. He was on the list of "Best Young Instructors" in Golf Digest. he studies the golf mechanics stuff from people like Sasho McKenzie, he uses Gears equipment to document actual movements, he uses video, he's one of those guys. He also studies the way we humans learn, how to make changes effectively. No instructor wants you to swing with the exaggerated changes from a drill, but that drill WILL change the way you perceive your own movements. @stephenmattsaid it well, exaggerated drills will help you to make small changes. Lots of players would like a change to their swing to feel natural immediately. Well it won't, not if its a change. If it feels natural, it means you're still doing things the same way as you were before the lesson. Exaggerated drills work, thats why modern instructors use them.
And you just posted a new question, good instructors will help you to make one (or maybe two) change at a time. Work on that until you can consistently do it, and then move to the next most important change.
Very well said @DaveP043.

Sure it would. The golf swing isn't meant to be completely overhauled in one day. That is why a lot of people find themselves not getting better. A complete swing overhaul will take years most likely to make it become normal and effortless. Exaggerations, mirror work, and slow motion reps are all shown to be very successful.
-
Yes and no. This goes back to "feel vs real". The exaggerations help show your body and mind where the changes need to be made. In reality when you try to introduce them into the swing it will be a small change but a bunch of repetitions of this and you'll slowly start to be able to incorporate it into the real thing.

I have been playing the new COD and I must say it is the most fun I have had playing a multiplayer COD in a long time!

Enjoy. They’re some of the best performing irons I’ve played and I hope you have similar success.
How were the specs compared to what you ordered? Mine arrived all out of whack and while I’m still a little bitter, they’re just too good to let that ruin them.
I ordered them standard and am going to bend them and adjust them myself when I know exactly where I want them.

@stephenmatt Do you have an update on your Vessel purchase? I'd like to see some pics of the vinyl after ~18 months of use. I like the bags but am reluctant to pull the trigger because I've heard from some people that the vinyl scuffs from normal use and I'm a bit worried spending that kind of money on a bag that is going to look bad after 2 years.
The one thing you do not have to worry about regarding these bags is the quality. It really is amazing.

I actually have yet to use it believe it or not. I kind of wish I got a 6 way top rather than the 14 but when I bought the bag I was only really using 14 way top bags. Right now I am using 5/6 way top bags so I haven't been able to put the Vessel bag into my rotation yet but from everything I have heard is that the bags hold up extremely well.

Wow! Congrats man!

I just ordered a set of Srixon ZX7 irons. Looking forward to getting them in. The custom build is 4-PW with Project X 6.0 Stiff shafts and Lamkin UTX grips.

Nice results! How did the feel vary in between the shafts? Was there one that you liked more than the others?

If you are hitting indoors and into a net/screen you need one. If you are hitting outdoors and can use markers for distances it isn't as important but would still be very beneficial.

Like others have said it all depends on who is teaching but for me being able to see my swing from both angles at GOLFTEC has really helped me. If you get a good coach at GOLFTEC then you will also get the benefit of being able to analyze your swing on camera which is really awesome. It also helps when you are practicing to be able to see what could be a potential issue and not guess because it wasn't being recorded.

Just to get a more consistent swing and tighten up my shot dispersion. Overall, my goal is to break 90 and really enjoy the game more by scoring lower and being competitive. At some point I want to do some amateur tournaments and be competitive. Along this journey, I also want to share my knowledge and give insights to others to think about (mental aspects, enjoying other things about the game, etc...)
I love that attitude. Keep it up. I will continue checking in!
What/How Did You Practice Today?

Staying pretty consistent with my backswing work and working in some slight downswing work. My swing is in a really good spot so everything I am working on improving is really pretty minor.
