CarlH Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Spent some time with my swing coach working on short shots. Working on better rotation and balance with a few drills.

sirchunksalot Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Got home from work without a lot of time before daylight runs out and supper is ready. I took the Divot Board out and worked more on the 60-60-100 drill. I saw mostly good results, with a few swings that had me scratching my head. I'm still trying to get used to the focus on the dot on the board without a ball, but I figure that'll come with practice.

twyatt700 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Had my first ever lesson today... so I’ve been setting up with the club face 10 degrees open, essentially turning every club into two club lofts higher... which explains my massive height and distance control issue with irons. Just getting the club square at address added about 29 yards and got my trajectory so much better! It’s crazy how such a little thing can make a huge difference!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy dlow206, edingc, cnosil and 2 others 5 Quote Ping G430 Max 9* turned up to 10* in draw setting X-Stiff Ping Tour Chrome 2.0 60 Srixon ZX 3w Ventus Velocore Blue 7s Ping G425 5w X-Stiff Ping Tour 70 Srixon ZX5 4-6 Modus Tour 105 Stiff Srixon ZX& 7-PW Modus Tour 105 Stiff RTX Zipcore 50* 54* 58* TrueTemper Dynamic Gold Spinner Phantom X5 Putter Ball: Srixon Z-Star Diamond <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just the opposite. I set up more square than your bottom pic, and I could use more height. I have tried setting up like your top pic, and I have mixed results. It's OK if I rotate hard in the downswing; sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. When I don't... it's bad! sirchunksalot and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncwoz Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Similar to a few if you guys, I've been working most of the off season to improve my rotation and eliminate my early extension. Have been doing the wall drill at home quite a bit, and at the range basically I'll go through half a bucket with waist-to-waist swings, feeling like my right pocket "punches" toward 11 o'clock (noon being target). Then I'll take that feel up to full swings for most of the rest of the bucket, save for ~5 normal driver swings and ~5 fast-as-I-can driver swings. Yesterday was a good day! I'm liking where I'm at so far. I'll probably continue to work on this in the background, but as the weather warms up I'll be shifting my range time to focus more on aim and target.

edingc Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @B.Boston - That 60/60/100 thought is magic. Especially with short game. It's sunny and in the 40s now, and enough snow has melted that I have a few grassy areas I can chip to from the patio and my little hitting mat. Working with the 60/60/100 thought, and having a feel of maintaining my spine angle through impact is working wonders. For me, the feel of maintaining the spine angle keeps my head from moving forward on the downswing. It's such a weird feeling but for the first time ever I'm actually able to pitch the ball and get some height without feeling like I have to lay the face open. I'm curious to see what the combination of these two thoughts does at the range with full swings. My miss is low and left when my head starts to work forward. Something tells me the flight might be completely different if I get this right.

Speaking of that drill, I was able to come home from work today and spend about 45 minutes hitting into the net working on this. When I first did the drill, I had an epiphany: I have been rotating and allowing my sternum to get behind the ball in the backswing. I worked on the thought of keeping the sternum stationary during the swing. I started seeing some good results along with some inconsistent ones. I had a few that looked like fried eggs and actually topped one or two. I made an adjustment and tried my best to take my arms out of the swing and let the body do the work. That's when I started seeing patterns like above more often. I was also seeing better weight shift that way. This is going to be my focus going forward. 2021 is the year that I'm focusing on becoming a better iron player and focus on crisper, cleaner contact. edingc, Shankopotomous, GolfSpy_SHARK and 4 others 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlow206 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Working on rotation. Felt like I was exaggerating my hip depth in the backswing and felt super far away from the ball. So far away that I thought I would miss the ball or hit it way off the toe. In the video though, don't think I am actually getting farther from the ball, just not getting closer to the ball in the backswing like I tend to do.

I couldn’t believe something so small made that big a difference! For me with this change I felt like I didn’t have to rotate as hard to get distance. Yes it is... If I don't rotate enough, it's s#@nk city!! sirchunksalot and twyatt700 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I haven't been to the practice area other than the range for quite awhile and it shows when playing. Today I decided to spend an hour or so just on pitches and chips. Pitching green closed!!! Maintenance crews were doing some digging (sprinkler work I guess) by the green, and they didn't want any errant balls while they were working. So, I spent the time practicing chips with my 60º LW and 49º GW on the putting green. We still don't have holes in the putting green, so I used 2 tees about a hole-width apart. I used to only chip with my LW and was reasonably good at it, but I have to practice contact a lot or I lose the feel and mishit a lot of balls. That's what I've been doing on the course lately. No practice; no good shots. @cnosil shamed me into trying less-lofted clubs for chipping and I've been practicing with my GW. I'm better at it than I was several months ago, but a ball can still get away from me every now and then. Overall, I'm probably a little more consistent distance-wise with my GW, but misses with either club are not horrible. At my course I really don't need any less-lofted club for chips. After an hour I started to feel a rhythm to my swing that I haven't had lately on the course. I even managed a few good flop shots. I need to do this more often!! edingc, sirchunksalot, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 3 others 6 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozcycle Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Going for a “practice round” at a short par 69 course in Zephyrhills with some buds. It’s 4,467 yards from White tees and is fun to play. Very narrow fairways makes for target practice. It’s 3 strokes lighter than my Hcap for my home course.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Shankopotomous and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Driver: 0311 XF 10.5* w/Project X Cypher 40 gram Senior shaft or 0811 XF 12* w/Evenflo Riptide CB Senior shaft Fairways: 0211 5W & 7W w/ Evenflo Riptide CB regular shaft and Tour Edge E521 9W w/Fubuki HD50 regular shaft Hybrid: None in bag at the moment Irons: Titleist T300 5-PW w/Fubuki MV Senior graphite shafts w/Golf Pride Tour Wedges: Edison forged 49*, 53* and 57* wedges with KB PGI Senior shafts(80 grm).

I turn it into a game and it’s more fun... like keeping score. I pick a hole or two to chip to. Make par 18 and play “9” holes every hole is a par 2. Keep a record of your scores and see how it gets better. Makes it way more fun to practice!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Shankopotomous, downlowkey, cnosil and 2 others 5 Quote Ping G430 Max 9* turned up to 10* in draw setting X-Stiff Ping Tour Chrome 2.0 60 Srixon ZX 3w Ventus Velocore Blue 7s Ping G425 5w X-Stiff Ping Tour 70 Srixon ZX5 4-6 Modus Tour 105 Stiff Srixon ZX& 7-PW Modus Tour 105 Stiff RTX Zipcore 50* 54* 58* TrueTemper Dynamic Gold Spinner Phantom X5 Putter Ball: Srixon Z-Star Diamond <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
