What/How Did You Practice Today?


null

Recommended Posts

Well I confirmed what I suspected based on my recent SuperSpeed workouts.  Much like a few weeks into level 2 my swing speed is off.  I'm very disheartened by this - clearly kneeling and I don't get along.  I wish I could just undo the kneeling stuff!!!! 

To be clear I'm ahead of where I was when I started still but I've slide all the way back to where I was at the end of level one - that's 5 mph in driver swing speed - I was hitting the ball well but noticeably shorter about 10 yards - than three weeks ago.  The only exception was 6 iron which meant there was a huge gap between 6 and 7 iron.  I averaged 170 on my 5 6 iron swings and 153 on my 5 7 iron swings after 140 with the 8 - I didn't hit 5 hybrid today. 

Hopefully I recapture what I had three weeks ago fairly quickly.  While I intend to go the full 72 weeks of SuperSpeed these set backs are difficult - I'm 62, I hate loosing a month plus out of my season especially once I start playing competitively again in April - I may put any new drill on hold until November and just do what I'm comfortable with to maintain until then.

After watching one of the videos on the Be Better Golf YouTube channel with the inventor of the DST Compressor, I've been more mindfully working on my takeaway. I'm trying to feel like I'm getting my left shoulder more underneath my chin. I've changed a lot in my swing since starting over last summer, but one thing that rears its head often is a very flat shoulder turn and an inside takeaway. Hearing the way Bertie described the takeaway, its relation to proper weight shift and the hands being forward at impact (creating "lag tension" as he calls it) resonated well in my head.

We're supposed to see near 60 degree temperatures next week which should get a lot of the snow off of the ground. Hoping to play a round before the end of March with some of these new swing changes!

Skipped the gym and went to the range after work yesterday. It's the first time I've been to the range in over a month due to all the winter weather. The session wasn't the best to start out, it was like I just forgot everything I had ingrained last season and was doing just fine on the course a few days prior. Anyway, I started to get things lined out about halfway through my bucket of balls and then I decided to work on really leaning the shaft through impact as this is often lacking in my swing. After trying a few things I had worked on during lessons, I decided to try something different and just crowd the ball so much that the only way to make good contact was lean the shaft way forward. I literally would start with the ball lined up out of the hosel at address and then make a full swing. It worked surprisingly well as my very worst shots were only slightly out of the heel. I could feel that I was compressing the ball much better and the ball flight was much lower/stronger compared to my normal flight. I definitely want to video myself next time I get out and try this. If I'm achieving what I think I am in my swing then that would be a huge breakthrough for me.

Grooved the swing changes I learned in my lesson yesterday. For the first time ever I can really control which direction I hit the ball. The problem is I need to turn the 20 yd hooks into 5 or 10 yd draws. 😅

Very nice.  A few more lessons will do that.  You are better off turning a hook into a draw than a slicer trying to hit a fade (comment from a former slicer).  😉

Took my shiny new-to-me Ernest Sports ES12 LM out today (thanks @GolfSpy MPR!!!) for a little test run, and man is it nice! It really only shows ball speed and distance (either carry or total), but it really validated the gap chart I carry pretty darn closely. I only hit a bucket today, but took my time to get comfortable with some tweaks to my swing I need to solidify. Worked on my footwork, knees, weight shift and grip-yeah pretty much the whole enchilada. Things (albeit self-taught still) are coming together rather nicely. Really struck the ball well today and hope to translate todays good vibe into tomorrows round. We'll see...

Did my usual short game practice with my SkyTrak (10–30 yards), but this time I mixed in some foot powder spray to check impact. This was a dozen or so shots:

Certainly nothing amazing, but not awful either. I'd love to see this tighten up some before the season.

Since I didn't play today, I went to the range to hit a few 7 irons off the mats, working specifically on transition and rotation.  Then I went over to one of our practice holes and practiced with my 60 from 30 yards and in to just off the fringe, focusing on getting my chest to the target through impact and making crisp ball strikes.

I'm still trying to get use to the Mack Daddy wedges.  I previously had Vokey SM6 wedges (54/58) and they feel heavier.  I at least felt as if they had more swingweight and I was more aware of the clubhead.  With the MD, I'm having a bit of issue with getting a little flippy, so that's what I'm working on...getting the feel down.

Went to the range before settling in to watch the final round of the Players with a Black and Tan in hand.

No one was there. I hit the ball horribly on Friday with the guys - shot 80 but it was an ugly one. (Lots of scrambling) I’m happy to report that I started out hitting it even worse and yet didn’t break or even throw a single club. :)

Adding to the misery was the fact that the grass on the range was mowed so tight and it was wet that any swing that wasn’t perfect produced an ugly shot - oh and of course it was into a left to right Northeast wind. The first half of my practice I was ready to call Foz and cancel playing Friday so that I could take a lesson. But I did drill my coach gave me and slowly but surely started hitting some good 7 irons followed by very good hybrids interspersed with descent 9 irons (to simulate 2 short par 4’s at Foz’s and some passable 3 woods and driver.

I ended by hitting 20 or so 56 degree wedges to a target that was 81 yards away. Hit those quite well. So maybe I’ve moved in the right direction. My sequencing just stinks right now. I have to do way too much thinking to make it work.

Spent a good bit of time with the new wedge chipping in the basement.

Then I went outside on the driveway. The snow is almost sand consistency right now in some spots and like a tightly mown fairway in others.

Working on some new shots for this year. Not going to take everything up stairs. Worked on some 8,9,PW pitch and runs. Same swing with each to get different height and distance. Need to put it on some grass, but I’ll be ready for some links golf I have planned in early June.

Was at the range yesterday working on two different things.  One to use on the course, and the other for silly fun.

On course: Hitting varying shot heights with my PW to a distance of 120-130yds.  This was really challenging as I'm still knocking the rust off, but I know that this is going to be a needed shot for when I am finally able to play.

Silly fun: Stingers off the tee with my 5-iron.  I just needed to do something stupid to get my brain out of the overly serious PW practice before I went home, and also to remind myself that golf is supposed to be fun.

Practiced yesterday.  Hit some irons and my driver off the mats for awhile mainly getting a feel for the new irons and new shaft in the driver.  Then went out and played a few holes so that I had a feel for turf interaction with the irons.  Mainly just drove to specific distances and hit several balls to the green.  

One of the things that I'm specifically working on during practice is wrist position throughout my swing and through impact in an effort to improve crisp contact and ball compression.  Definitely a work in progress but seeing positive improvements.

I was at the range yesterday. The new shaft in my GGB worked great and was getting pretty decent distance given the cold weather and range balls. However, I was really excited about the dispersion! Can wait to see the same performance on the course.

I had a whim a month ago and order a 2019 Callaway PM grind 54/14 wedge.  It's the first 54º from Callaway in the PM Grind.  It also has a C-Grind sole.  I was a little worried about the 14º bounce; that's a lot for my turf conditions.  It was a special order; took a month to get.  It came on Monday, but my course has been closed since Feb 3 so the long wait wasn't to terrible.

The practice area at my course opened yesterday and the course opens for play tomorrow.  I spent 2 hours yesterday chipping and one hour today pitching from 30 yards, and I like it so far.  I haven't tried any full shots, but I will tomorrow when the course opens.  Callaway on the bottom and my SCOR on top.

I had a whim a month ago and order a 2019 Callaway PM grind 54/14 wedge.  It's the first 54º from Callaway in the PM Grind.  It also has a C-Grind sole.  I was a little worried about the 14º bounce; that's a lot for my turf conditions.  It was a special order; took a month to get.  It came on Monday, but my course has been closed since Feb 3 so the long wait wasn't to terrible.
The practice area at my course opened yesterday and the course opens for play tomorrow.  I spent 2 hours yesterday chipping and one hour today pitching from 30 yards, and I like it so far.  I haven't tried any full shots, but I will tomorrow when the course opens.  Callaway on the bottom and my SCOR on top.

Can’t wait to hear about the “God Father” of the Hi-Toe mafia in action.

I do believe there is something about these types of clubs. Looking forward to your thoughts on your new wand Kenny.

Doc has approved me for “chipping & putting” only. Feels really good being out on the greens again.

Have done 3 days putting only, so far the putter feels like a heavy Garden Weasel.

Going to give short chips a try tomorrow.

Yes, I am smiling.IMG_3225.JPG.a7c5a0393017ab253d187b2f6b665a76.JPG

Last night I really needed to work on opening up on the downswing, as I tend to get slightly flippy when I stall out. So I slowed everything down and hit about 100 balls for feel of 3/4 swings ball up at the top of my stance. Only trying to hit the ball 100 yards low and cutting. This tends to get me in a good place. So will warm up like that on the weekend and go from there.

Went to course this afternoon. Hit a few balls on the range; got interviewed by a cute 20 something reporter for local tv station. Filmed me hitting on #1. On tonight’s news.
