berkeleybob Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Heyo! Along with the sim range, I’ve been practicing my putting on my PuttOUT mat. I haven’t gotten around to acquiring gates and mirrors. I’ve just been working on pacing and aiming. I’ve been feeling pretty good about it, but I’ve added a new tool to my mat. After some putting, I realized my putts have been a little too consistently good. Then I remembered a review here 2-3 years ago which mentioned that a groove will form in the mat, ensuring that the ball remains on target to the pressure putt trainer every time. Now I use the Dyson every so often to erase the groove. That said, I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable with 6-foot putts, and I can’t wait to find out how it goes on the course.

Shlax Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Third range session of the year so far while waiting for courses in my area to open. Taking winter off (no simulator golf at all) really paid off it seems like. It looks like the bad habits that I had picked up grinding and trying to correct flaws for the past two seasons have evaporated. I've never swung the golf club like the last week and I dig it! I'm currently focusing exclusively on the backswing, mainly the turn and tempo and magic happens!

cnosil Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 My wife left for a little while and I grabbed a club and an almost golf ball and hit a few chips. I am so terrible. Hit a few cross handed and right hand only and did a lot better. May need to switch to right hand only chips. For some reason until I get the club to about waist high I can’t control the low point and hit ton really thin. I am sure people are thinking but it is just a short like stroke; it’s easy!

They were very frustrating for me at first: I topped everything. But, I am sticking with them and they've most definitely helped my iron game. I get a lot more clean, nicely compressed shots than I used to. Personally, I like them a lot!

Indy_Oz Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Managed to squeeze in a sim session and focused on FlightScope Skills app for some target/ distance practice! Played a couple of their games, starting with the FlightScope Combine and ending with an 'Amateur Duel' challenge. First time doing these two, so they give me a good baseline to (hopefully) improve upon in future. For the Combine, there are 25 targets and you have 3 shots at each. Starting at 20yds all the way up to 260+. Tough little workout! You score points when you get within the scoring bands of the targets. I managed 147/375 with an 'average to target' distance of 39'5". Plenty of room for improvement! The following are the five targets from the 'Amateur Duel' I finished with. Four shots at each target. Pretty happy with those results, albeit they are green-size targets. Plenty to work on, but the approach and wedge drills I've been doing over winter were already showing improved approach shots when I played recently. I only discovered this skills app recently, but really like it. It provides a lot of useful data on shot shapes, miss % (long/short etc) and which clubs I'm most accurate with. As I build the data set up over time, it'll be a useful tool to supplement on-course play and grass range practice. Example of the data it provides below for my irons...

Hosel_Rockets Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Today is all about strength and flexibility! Working on flexibility in the core, hips, and low back (looking to avoid that early season low back pain). Hips - "Happy Baby", Knees to chest, 90/90, Forward lunge (each leg) Low Back - Cat/cow, Cobra, Child's pose Thoracic Spine - Wall rotation, "thread the needle" Finishing up with some leg and core work later: Single leg box squats Single leg RDL's Reverse sled pull Hip Abduction Cable Twists Planks Hoping the additional flexibility and strength will keeps me limber until this Ohio weather cooperates, and I can get out to the course/driving range more than once a week!

What you are describing is kind of confusing especially the way you are describing step 3 I could very well be wrong here so please correct me if I am to better explain it but here is what I consider the positions I guess instead of P1 I could have said address? I myself call it P1 as it is the first position I am getting into when in play. P2 is give or take below the hips to check take away and club face P3 is hip height where I prefer to have my wrist fully set Impact is self explanatory. I just do impact as I have a tendency to push the club handle away/right instead of pulling it thru and left Edited March 21 by JAYER38 cksurfdude and Michael.Sandoval33 2 Quote DRIVER G425 MAX w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Orange RAW 65 S 12* *DRIVER TESTING Paradym Ai SMOKE MAX D w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 65 S 10.5* WOOD STEALTH 2 Plus 3w w/ Mitsubishi Kali Red 75 S 15* HYBRID G425 2h w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Orange RAW 75 S 17* HYBRID G410 4h w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Orange 75 S 22* IRONS 919 Forged 4i-PW w/ Dynamic Gold 105 S300 WEDGES Glide Forged Pro w/ ZZ115 W 50*/58* PUTTER FRONTLINE 8.0 w/ 35" Slant neck 3* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
