revkev Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Took the lovely Laura to the range at Bayou after videoing our weekend service to make a swing video for the Motore test.It’s a spectacular day. High 70’s nice breeze, range packed. Since it’s a private club the ropes are a suggestion beyond don’t go in front or behind so we found room towards the side of the range but even that filled in as I warmed up and see set up. After about a dozen swings I hit a couple of drivers - crushed the second one - 96 mph SS, 241 on swing caddie. Pulled that device away and said lets do this. The guys around me saw I was making a video and watched as I set up and just smoked one - I got a hand and a couple of “great swings.” As I left I told them it was a MGS video - so then one of the guys down the range came over and said he reads our content all the time. He must be a new summer member because I didn’t know him but I told him he should join the forum.I absolutely clobbered that ball, dead straight with a 12 mph left to right in cross wind, the camera and the gallery all there to distract me. Im very pleased!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy sirchunksalot, palvord, StrokerAce and 4 others 7 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrokerAce Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 loving the new swing caddie SC300.... I haven't had much chance to play with it due to the rain but the weather was halfway decent tonight. I noticed it records the number of balls you hit. 193...

pulledabill Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hit a large bucket tonight and worked mostly on woods, hybrid, and long iron. Playing with 2 different 3 wood trying to figure which one I hit better. My 4h was magic, but then year I cant find consistent magic. I think its my set uo and ball placement. I did hit a Titleist MB driving iron the shop was selling. Didnt love it or hate it. Just not really sure of the point of the club really with the exception of maybe keeping sonething low and out of the wind. I caught myself leaking things right mid bucket and had to evalate what was going on. Then I remembered to tel myself to "swing the damn club".

Peaksy68 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Did some putting work with the PuttOut system. Followed my normal routine of starting with the mirror and gate at 3 feet. Started atrociously, couldn't get the ball through the gate. I normally go until I get 3 through without any contact. The most attempts I've needed recently is 5, couldn't get any through today so I moved on to the pressure trainer. Strangely, after a poor start I got things going. Took a total of 10 putts from a perfect putt at 3 feet to have perfect putts at 4,5 and 6 feet. I can't remember the last time I missed a putt on the pressure test, it would be several 100 putts ago. revkev, GolfSpy_SHARK, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 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...

josmi15 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I was chipping and putting for about an hour yesterday. Somehow, I developed Iron arms again from short distances. So I’ve bee trying to not be tense around those little 20 yard chips.I followed that up with a chip and putt game. Just pick a spot, chip to hole and try to one putt from there.

cnosil Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Startline practice with the putter. Felt a little off with the putter the past couple of week so I wanted to make sure that i was starting the ball online. Was pushing the ball a bit and realized I had crept to far over the. Got a little more inside the ball and was better at rolling the ball through the gate.

palvord Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I received my Pressure Trainer from PuttOut yesterday and have been obsessively rolling putts in the basement on my rollout mat. I haven't hit a perfect putt yet, but the design of the trainer makes it so you want to hit those putts over and over. I'm excited to see if all the extra time with the putter in my hand helps. I also began experimenting with having my right hand low and am seeing less putts with me leaving the face open. TBD if it translates to results on the course, but something I started tinkering with. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy_SHARK and cksurfdude 3 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Project X EvenFlow 60 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: Maxfli TourX Rangefinder: LX5 Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrokerAce Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 while bashing balls into the back of the net for hours on end since every range in the entire northeast is closed I realized that something is just...off.... of course the ball flight was like 3-4 yards in front of me so every shot was perfectly on line but even then it just seemed that something was amiss. So, I did it, I paid 25 bucks for the tour tempo app..... I'd been looking at it and considering it for a couple weeks now and I just kept telling myself that 25 was way too steep for an app. c'mon, it can't be that good....but....I was getting bored and would have paid that much after going to the range a few times (note the subtle justification in my mind) so I bought it. First thing I see is a warning that it was built on an older version of Android and might not work... NOT A GOOD START - and there was the refund button staring me right in the face. I'd gone this far and couldn't turn back. It's hokey, the music is meh, the tones aren't the most pleasant sounds I've heard..... BUT MAN IS IT EFFECTIVE. Of course I immediately started it right up and was all over the place so I decided to watch the 3 minute videos on how to use it. Once I got the gist of it everything fell into place - I realized my prior tempo was probably 1.5ish : 1 and it should be 3:1... soon I was making what seemed to be a REAL swing that felt like I knew what I was doing....and my Swing Caddie agreed. My smash factors were pretty consistently in the 1.4 range and I might have just spent the best 25.00 on a golf related app I ever could. Now if I can only find a way to get out onto a course and repeat it....everything looks and feels good when you have a 10x7 net that is 4 yards in front of you. downlowkey, Kenny B, cnosil and 5 others 8 Quote Driver- Cobra Aerojet LS Woods- Cobra LTD 3w 15*, 5W 19*, F9 24* Irons- XXIO X (6-A) Wedges- Callaway Jaws Raw (54/58) Putter- Bettinardi BB56 Ball- Maxfli Tour X Buggy- Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote Electric Caddy Bag- Motocaddy Dry-Series Proudly testing for 2024: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the club rack sorted and now I have my birdie ball green put back in its place so I can roll putts whenever I want. I am dedicated to the long putter for the season but still working with the short one just to try and figure out where I went wrong from good putting to poor putting.

cksurfdude Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Backyard short game range -- 3 targets, 3 clubs. Used one club at a time (54, PW, 8i) to each of the targets (yes: hula hoops! at about 5-10-15 paces off the edge of the patio), working on a ladder "out" and then back "in"; and then rotated thru the three clubs to a single target at a time. Distance control was mostly pretty good, not outstanding but not too horrible .. only a few badly short or long, and left-right dispersion ended up pretty good also.

palvord Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My hitting net finally showed up yesterday! I was too excited to try it out that I forgot to snap pictures. I worked with my SC200 and was really just working on the best set up for the ball to not fly over the net and still have the monitor pick up carry distance, SS, and smash factor. Took a few configurations, but got everything set up and working well. I focused on low point contact by putting a piece of tape on the hitting mat about 4" behind the ball. It was a good visual cue to work on ball first contact. Now I just gotta get some foot spray to help with improving my strike. sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and edingc 3 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Project X EvenFlow 60 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: Maxfli TourX Rangefinder: LX5 Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishJason Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Went through almost 3 buckets on the driving range. I made some decent progress with simple ball striking by realizing what my body was doing that was incorrect. I kept falling to the right as I went through the downstroke. Once I stopped that, topped shots went away. I'm going to have to break down and pay for some swing lessons though. I can't cure my slice on my own. I had 9 holes back in February where it was nonexistent, but I don't know what came and went with my swing. sirchunksalot and cksurfdude 2 Quote Driver: Cobra Speedzone 10.5 Mitsubishi AV Blue S flex Wood: Cobra Bio Cell 3-4 Grafalloy Pro Launch Blue (low launch original version) S flex Hybrids: Taylormade GAPR 3 KBS graphite shaft Strata 4 and 5 hybrids R flex Irons: Strata 6-PW R flex Wedges: Texan Classics 52, 56, 60 R flex Putter: Odyssey Red Ball mallet Ball: Srixon Q Star Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edingc Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Working on everything from my lesson Tuesday - grip adjustment, setting up further from the ball, more forward press at address, etc. Lots of small tweaks that seem to be encouraging a nice draw flight with foam and wiffles. Hoping to get to the range Saturday evening to confirm with range balls, but we'll see what the day holds. Amazing what getting the weight off my heels does for my swing. My Mevo recorded a 126 MPH ball speed 7 iron during my lesson. I really want to hit 130 before this year is over. Edit ... Should add that I fired up my Tour Tempo app also.

pulledabill Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Been at the range 2 of the last 3 days trying to figure out why Im pulling the ball so much. Tonights session was much better than two days ago when I left a partial bucket and packed it in. Tonight I really focused on the speed (slow) of the backswing and focused on a brief pause at the top. This seemed to straighten me out. The slower backswing, the better I play. cnosil, sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishJason Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I had a thought over night at work after my range session of slices yesterday afternoon. Grabbed a wedge and went into my spare room and slowed down my swing to the point that I could watch exactly what my hands/wrists were doing. The good ole EYES launch monitor locked right onto the problem. Wide open club face at impact. Made a few pitch shot swings to work on rolling my wrists over enough to close the club face. Now I have to wait out the rain again. cksurfdude and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: Cobra Speedzone 10.5 Mitsubishi AV Blue S flex Wood: Cobra Bio Cell 3-4 Grafalloy Pro Launch Blue (low launch original version) S flex Hybrids: Taylormade GAPR 3 KBS graphite shaft Strata 4 and 5 hybrids R flex Irons: Strata 6-PW R flex Wedges: Texan Classics 52, 56, 60 R flex Putter: Odyssey Red Ball mallet Ball: Srixon Q Star Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 With the weather warming up, I got the itch to practice outdoors rather than just rolling putts in my basement. On Saturday, I set up a little short game practice area in the backyard and it worked out perfectly for practice: Targets are 5, 10, 15, and 20yds. I spent Saturday working with my 52, 56, and 60 wedges to those varying distances at random. It was lots of fun and was a good way to scratch the golf itch during the SIP.I had been doing the same!

dlow206 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I have an issue with being super steep, especially with short irons. Been hitting super fat shots, its depressing when the ball goes 20 yards on a 100 yard shot. Trying to be shallow is the bane of my existence. Somehow, when trying various shallowing swing thoughts, sometimes I end up even steeper! Today, tried a thought of keeping the clubhead outside of the hands on the downswing. This thought worked pretty well, got shallower and didn't send my small mat of the ground toward the net. cksurfdude, bens197 and sirchunksalot 3 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulledabill Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Buddy came out to the range with me and we worked out my swing a little. Shoulder alignment was a bit off and used some sticks to try and correct swing path error. bens197, sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did it the first time so I had to video it and she did it a few more times after I took the video. She is definitely happy and super athletic. She really liked the bright orange volvic I found last year. sirchunksalot, Rickp and cksurfdude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
