Willie T Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Day 157 (23 Jun 24) - Back home, back yard, back to easy wedge shots with the 58 this afternoon. Good to feel the club in the hand today after a couple days of "clubless" work. Looking to continue work on the setup where it is automatic and as predictable as playing a G-C-D progression on the guitar. Mdrnsamurai, TJ Hall, Rob Person and 3 others 6 Quote WITB?

Willie T Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Day 158 (24 Jun 24) - Spent a few moments going thru short chip drill (10-15yds) with PW before moving to easy pitches (30-50yds) with the 8i and then to easy 1/2 swings (about 40th yds) with the 54….total of about 15 swings per drill, all from varied lies.

Bang60 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Practice today with 2 Mizuno 9irons, first one weighs 430gr swingweight D1 steel shaft second 385gr C4 graphite. Did a chipping comparison about 7metres and liked the 430 gram much better and easier to control, 385 gram felt like I had no room for error if I didn't Hit the ball perfect it went nowhere whereas might change the C4 swingweight to match the D1 but 45 grams is a lot of lead tape which I think is a waste...

Not sure how you got 45 grams since you are talking swingweight. You want to go up 6 SW points which is 2 grams per point added to the head so 12 total grams. I am guessing you are trying to see how a graphite shaft might work so you would probably be better swapping shafts to heavier graphite since you like the heavier total weight.

cnosil Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Another most wanted iron session today so I go to hit some 5 irons but that wasn't what I practiced. Putting has been a little hit and miss the past few weeks. Based on my ShotScope numbers I am underperforming outside of 10 feet; My assessment is that my read is pretty good, I am am hitting my lines, but speed is poor. Basically confirmed this on the putting green at HQ today. I know the simple answer seems like make a bigger stroke which unfortunately didn't seem to be working so I started experimenting with sources of motion and grip. Think I am going to try going back to left hand low; which is how I used to putt for many years. On the HQ green, I felt like I had to reign my stroke in a little since the left hand low was delivering a little more power. Guess I will see on Thursday when I do my next league night.

BobBC78 Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:11 PM Late in reporting yesterday's practice..... Range: After warming up with SW pitches, I practiced 5H, 6H and 7H, mostly with 9 to 5 swings, working on direction (aimed over the 50-yard sign), ground contact and face contact while making sure to use my lower body properly. Then worked on sand shots from the practice bunker. Practice green: Did block practice on chipping and putting. For chipping I worked on form and using 9i, PW, GW and SW to chip to a spot about 4-paces away and tracked rollout distance. For putting I worked on speed control by setting markers in front of and behind the ball (in this case 6", so 1' total swing length) and putting 5-balls looking for (i) distance and (ii) that they were tightly grouped. cksurfdude, Mdrnsamurai, Josh Parker and 1 other 4 Quote Ping G400 Max 10.5* - Alta CB Soft Regular shaft Ping G425 SFT 5W (19*) - Alta CB Slate SR flex Ping G430 5H (26*), 6H (30*) and 7H (34*)- Alta CB 70 regular flex Ping G710 8i-W - Recoil 80 F3 shaft Ping ChipR - Alta CB regular flex shaft Cleveland CBX4 50*- Recoil 95 F3 shaft Tour Edge Exotics Wingman 56* M/N - Recoil DART 90 F3 shaft Odyssey Tri-hot 5K Seven DB with Garsen Max grip Other: Vice Pro or Snell Prime 3.0; Shot Scope X5; True Linkswear; Callaway Org 7 bag; Clicgear 3.5+ Did a Member Review on Argolf's Pendragon XL Broomstick putter.

Tried to aim for the big tree with my driver and in between the tree and a pole for everything else. I started doing that also a few months ago on the range. I only take 3 or 4 clubs, but I hit 1 or 2 balls, switch club, hit 1 or 2 balls, switch club, and I jump around, I don't progress from shortest to next shortest.

Peaksy68 Posted Thursday at 07:48 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:48 AM Worked on irons. Focused on setting up with clubface square as I tend to have an open clubface if I don’t focus. Also tried to have my head closer to level. I usually have a significant tilt to the right, which could be a factor in clubface and alignment issues I have always had. Also worked on gripping more in the fingers and reducing grip pressure. Seemed to help, ball flight was less of a fade with good consistency. cksurfdude, Josh Parker and TJ Hall 3 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donn lost in San Diego Posted Thursday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:17 PM Best Range Bucket Of My Life! Severe spine curvature, weak core & shoulders, are my bugaboo. And 69 yr old arthritis. I tend to sway, dip, hit ground before hitting the ball. Especially with driver. Am 2 weeks into new round of Range of Motion exercises under a Scripps Clinic physical therapist. Hit a bucket with 2 different drivers. 4 out of 5 shots were normal shape, 200+ yards and only a handful were slices. I don't have a laser scope so my distance is estimated.

cksurfdude Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Decent short, focused range and putting session .. feeling marginally better about my capability to hit a golf ball! Started off working on pressure shift and contact with a wedge to various distances, then a PW to one target and then a 7i to the same target. Then mixed in a few "holes" of driver - hybrid or iron - PW or 54. Walked over to the putting green and worked on long lags for a while then a bunch of 2-putt drills to different holes at different lengths.

ILMgolfnut Posted Friday at 12:14 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:14 AM With Scotland a week away, and feeling both my putting and bunker play are not up to snuff, braved the rain at the Casa this afternoon to work on both. Probably about 25 bunker shots from a 5-foot-deep pit; I didn't get all of them out and airmailed the green on some others, but it was better than the last time I practiced in the sand. Worked with both my 54- and 64-degree wedges. Then the putting was work on lags from distance, which I will also need across the pond starting next Friday. I figured getting out in the rain was also practice for Scotland, although I abandoned it when the skies started rumbling. No desire to become a vertical french fry.

PrismFlopper Posted Friday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:12 PM Spent about an hour practicing my chipping and putting this morning trying really nail down the feel with my new 58deg vs my 60deg. I understand to most it might be a little weird to carry those 2 since the lofts aren’t that different but for me it’s been about being more comfortable hitting a slightly softer 58 than trying to full swing my 60. Anywhere within like 50 yds I can pull the 60 like an artist but out from there I chose the 58. I currently don’t like how it rolls on the 58 though playing around the green and was working on that. Putting green has a nice 3 tier so can really practice those downhill sliders and uphill buts that I’ve been having a hard time with. William P, TJ Hall, cnosil and 1 other 4 Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total. Winter breaks and a 6month period when I got sick. Starting to feel like myself again and recently played a “okay” round. I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the first on-course testing of the CaddyDaddy Claw gloves (played the grey Pro and white Max - 9 holes of each - update on the Testing page (link: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/65024-caddydaddy-claw-2024-forum-member-review/ ) Yes - Sasquatch Dan and Petey Pirate were the oncourse testing observers today...

ILMgolfnut Posted Friday at 10:00 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:00 PM Got a cortisone shot in my right shoulder then went out and hit about 70 balls. As I sorta expected, the first few shots were hitting the big ball before the little one, but it got better. Worked through the bag from wedges to driver. Also did some bunker work and hit some putts. Direction with the DF2.1 is good, speed needs work. But 7-9 rounds in the UK should provide that.
