leichliter_jake Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Had a nice range and putting session today. My putting felt pretty good worked on controlling my distance, and then threw about 5 balls around the hole tried to get 4/5 and did that about 5 times. Then played around on the putting green making every hole a par 2. On the range my driver felt nice my irons were hit or miss. My irons i was just hitting them just a tad fat but the swing still felt good. I tried to focus more tempo and the takeaway of my club i have a tendency to close my club face on the way back. All in all it was a good practice, was happy to be outside enjoying the weather. Rob Person, Josh Parker and cksurfdude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie T Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Day 134’(30 May 24) - Weekly best tee scramble with my friends - today I played with the Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades. My friend said off the first tee, “We are going to be embarrassed of your tee shots with the persimmons outdo ours with the drivers.” Distance wise I was a few yards shorter today, but accuracy wise dead on. We played a fair number of approaches from where the persimmons finished. Love working those minuscule heads as the persimmons force you to really make good contact. One caveat on why we played so many 2nd shots off the persimmon drives - my friend’s back and trail hand were acting up, so his drives were messy all day. Maybe next week we’ll be back to tit for tat off playable tee shots. Josh Parker, cksurfdude, schooner44 and 1 other 4 Quote WITB?

Dukhook52 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Finally the back felt good enough for a short range session. Pleasantly surprised! Took the new Cobra driver for a spin. Prettiest high fades I have ever hit in all my years of playing the game. Hopefully Ranger Rick can take it to the course tomorrow. However, it’s Arkansas in the Springtime.

Mdrnsamurai Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 ball striking today... brought the FS Mevo with me but of course, i needed a firmware update when i tried to use it... so i went through the bag 7-10 shots per club... then onto chips and flops shots with the 56* & 60* from 10 & 15 yds... and finished with some putting... so overall, a pretty productive session...

barney_bogey Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Range before 9.5 foot putts and lag putting today. Follow up with some chipping from weird lies. Above the hole on a hill, below the green, across the cart path under a tree and over a bunker... You know the stuff that happens out there. Hit a bunch of wedges per usual. Then long sticks. Focus on my hips turning and left shoulder moving up instead of back. Was squishing em pretty good actually. Tomorrow is another day. Putting, pitching, driver.

ParFore74x Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Irons have been really bad lately and I finally had enough of it that I went to the range after work. Spent about an hour just working with tempo and contact and was seeing some consistency after getting through a few really bad shots. I’ve been trying to slow down just a touch and keep the tempo balanced while letting the club do the work. I have the problem of trying to kill it every time and then does not help my game. When I get the tempo right, the ball flight is quite pleasant. I ended my session with some wedge work. Trying to get distances down with my 54° & 58° attempting to get within 4’ or so of the cup from around 20’ out to represent missing the green with an approach shot. Results were promising with 8/39 with the 54° and 10/39 with the 58°. If I expanded that circle to 8’ out those numbers tripled. Good baseline to build on. It felt really productive and I plan to keep at it on the days when I have some free time but not enough to play a round.

ILMgolfnut Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Got to the range in Charlotte around 6:30, set up my Garmin and worked my way through the bag: 58 degree, gap, 9 iron, 7i, 5i, 7w, 3w, big dog, then back down, 6i, 8i, PW, 54, 64. Wound up hitting a little more than 100 balls. Early in the session I was surprised at how far my irons were flying. I was flying the gap 100 yards, which is not my norm. By the time I got to the driver I was a little tired. Garmin was giving me consistent numbers that were a bit low; I'd watch my drives bounce past the flag at 192 and the Garmin would tell me total distance was 180. Same applied with the irons. Perhaps that's because the landing area was below the tees and the radar couldn't pick up landing? Dunno. An encouraging session. Then went to their putting green, which was a little shaggy and very bumpy, with my DF 2.1, which the guy next to me on the range commented on. More than one putt was headed for the cup and then took a big turn after hitting a tuft of grass. Speed control was better though and I did make a 35 footer in spite (or because of?) the bumps.

Coulter Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) So I have a rapsodo MLM2Pro and 10*10*10 cage in the backyard that I use for practice. I have been too scared to use my driver due to chancing hitting through the net so I finally decided to buy a canvas drop cloth and put metal ringlets through one side to install at the back of the cage as extra protection. Well project complete today when I got home from work. Now time to pull out the big stick. I have been nursing a slice off the tee box off and on in my short golfing “career” and never had a chance to video my driver swing or really get much practice at all with driver. My irons and wedges have greatly improved but to the detriment of the driver. Well that all ends today or so I told myself. After 40 swings and all of them registering 20+ yards offline to the right and what I thought was pretty short numbers I called I off the session and decided it was time to review exactly what was going wrong with my launch monitor. When I say that my iron swing has improved I mean night and day difference. I almost look like I belong on a golf course from 210 to 100 yards in. All this to say… Dear God I look like my 2 year old son swinging his mom's broom at a breakable object with a driver in my hands and I can’t express enough the disappointment I felt when I saw this. Sorry for the long post but I thought it was worth sharing and letting someone know that A LOT more drivers will be swung in my backyard in the coming weeks.

Good for you for posting this, and yes "what we feel is not real" in golf so video is the best way to work on your swing, if you have access to a PGA pro it will expedite the process and get rid of some frustration, have fun with the process it is a game of a lifetime.

russtopherb Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Stopped by the muni but there was an event starting this morning, range and both practice greens were mobbed so I headed over to the covered range on my way to the office. I had an extremely frustrating range session, in that everything I hit was pretty much straight and where I was aiming. Why couldn't it have been that way when I played 2 days ago??? All kidding aside, it's still early for me so I'm still trying to remember those feels that work best for me, and when the ball isn't cooperating on the course my head starts working in overdrive, vs relaxing and going back to the simple feels that work for me. Thankfully a few more times out on the course and hopefully all will be sorted. cksurfdude, William P, Rob Person and 1 other 4 Quote In my Big Max hybrid bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Halo XL 5i-DW CBX 54* & 58* ER5 Tour S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Duffer Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The other day, I realized I had been holding my irons at address wrong (pressing the heel into the ground and lifting the toe). Made an adjustment and played the best nine holes of the year. Today, I worked more on a slow takeaway and good tempo. Did a drill where I hit 5 balls with an 8 iron at a target, 2 with the PW at another, 5 with the 8, 2 with 6i at another target, and then 5 more at the original with the 8i. Very happy with my takeaway, still need to work on not starting my transition too soon, but generally hit the balls really well. I hit the 8i target 9 times, 3 more than my goal. It’s been a really up and down year as far as vibes (and performance), but things are trending well.

Willie T Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Day 136 (01 Jun 24) - Band had a charity gig at midday, so did not get out to practice till late this afternoon. RIght knee acting - thinking arthritis is trying to kick back in - so I kept things quiet with some easy 8i/9i/PW pitches/chips with the Maltby build TS-1s - actually it was a much needed session as I learn the "feel" of these clubs and how they intertact as opposed to the SLDR's they replaced - the TS-1's soles are slightly narrower, more closely resembling the DCI 962's. A good afternoon of easy swings and learning the clubs. Rob Person, cksurfdude, Josh Parker and 1 other 4 Quote WITB?

Prodigal Duffer Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) More iron practice today. Drill of hitting 3 clubs with 3 balls each to the same target (6i, 7i, 8i to 8i distance). Very happy with my contact and general shot shape. Distance control wasn’t bad, either. Had three go much too long, and a few that went farther right than desired.

It makes the take easier and typically less inside that we see from a lot of golfers. Creates constant grip pressure and less tension. Easier to create the moment into the takeaway.
