Jacob.fain.21 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I went to the club today and practiced chipping and putting. Would chip to different hole locations and would try to make the ball in the hole in two putts or less. Then I went home and worked on contact drills into the net. Started with a half swing and worked on making good contact, then transitioned to a 3/4 swing, then full swing. edingc, cksurfdude, palvord and 3 others 5 1 Quote Playing mostly Mizuno Hot Metal, but just added an Epic Flash 26* hybrid to the bag.

dlow206 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I told myself yesterday that i was going to take a few days off from full swing practice. i lied, couldn't help myself. Besides working on the stuff with my instructor, i was trying to figure out why do i have so much variance between swings, even during practice. I can have one swing that looks great followed by a swing where i am completely cutting across the ball. What i perceive my normal swing to feel like is backswing, pause, downswing. While there is no actual pause on video, that is how it feels to me, and from the perceived pause to downswing is where things go haywire for me and i get out of sequence, which is the cause for the variation between swings. I experimented today with what I perceive to feel like one motion, backswing to downswing. That "one single motion" needs to feel smooth for me. in the swing i feel like there is no transition between backswing and downswing, but in video it shows up as a smooth transition. It feels nothing like what it actually looks like on video, but not necessarily a bad thing.

One day I will be hot off the tee and leave myself with an approach shot that i should either hit the green or land somewhere near the green, but then i will waste a shot by chunking it. The next round i will be cold off the tee and will lose shots having to punch out from the trees.

CarlH Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Lesson with my swing coach today. Focus was driver. Used the GCQuad and several different drivers. My Ping tends to spin too high. Cobra RadSpeed and Epic Speed both 10.5 with R shafts produced better results. Plan on playing a round with the Cobra tomorrow. Additionally, worked on my foot work and improved rotation through the swing. It's a different move from what I was doing previously and a bit awkward feel for now. Drill hitting 10 wedges for the feel and timing then hit driver. cnosil, cksurfdude and chisag 3 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max (10.5* set at -1 and neutral) -- Mitsubishi Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Fairway: Rogue ST Max 3 wood (16.5*) and Heaven Wood (20*)-- Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Hybrids: Rogue ST Max 5H (23*)--Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Irons: Apex CF19 6-9, PW, AW -- KBS Tour Graphite TGI 70 shafts R +1/2 inch 3* upright Wedges: Edison 53* and 57* KBS PGI 80 Graphite +1/2 inch 2* upright Putter: L.A.B.

His teaching and Jonathan's teaching go well together, but Monte is really good at spotting really specific root cause issues, so I wanted to get a second opinion. Just got the feedback back from Monte an hour ago and it was some interesting stuff that is backswing related that is causing me not to link up arms with pivot in transition and downswing. I know some folks would say you should only work with one instructor at a time, but I see it as having multiple doctors, one being a primary care and another being a specialist that you see from time to time.

NOW, I have to spend a lot of time working on my "fix". Monte doesn't like to give you more than one, maybe two, thing to focus on. Once you master the major issue, then he will give you further drills to address any other issues.

edingc Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Frost and snow today, range is closed for the third day in a row, so I came home at lunch and hit some foam balls against the house to practice instead. Working on the feeling of belt buckle behind ball at impact (which, again, gets my hands in front and my hips rotating less to start the downswing). Feel good and video seems to confirm I've got more room for my hands and arms, less slide of the upper body and more shaft lean at impact. Can't wait to actually get out on the course and range. Something else I've been working on is lengthening my backswing, which my coach has been asking me to work on for some time. Last week I got my Rypstick analysis video back and that was their biggest recommendation for me as well. For me, that means a feeling of my right leg straightening more in the backswing and feeling like my right tricep gets parallel to the ground.

GolfSpy BOS Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Got outside while my lunch was cooking and did my second day of the SuperSpeed C beginning protocol. I was happy to see within the first set I got up to the 131 mark again. It still feels a little awkward but I felt like I got some more powerful swings in. My numbers were much more consistent today and I topped out at 133 on dominant swings and 127 on non-dominant swings. Both new bests with Superspeed sticks. It's starting to rain here, so maybe doing some of the short game Planemate work later on inside, or maybe some putting practice tonight, we'll see! cksurfdude, Shapotomous, sirchunksalot and 1 other 4 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juspoole Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Worked on driver for the first time in a while. Trying to get my spin numbers down and my speed back up where it should be. Really felt my legs getting into the ball, but accuracy left a bit to be desired. Had my best ball speed of the year at 171 with 296 carry and was only just off the fairway. Still coming a bit over the top and losing some posture on the downswing and too much spin.

Hope you remember how to do that. Thanks. I know the two things that i need to feel. Pressure needs to go to the right foot to start the swing and i need to feel width in the backswing. The “width” feel helps my width and depth. The one thing that wrecks my swing is when my swing gets too long (even longer than the video). If it gets too long, then there is a good chance i won’t get my arms synced up to my pivot in the downswing. cksurfdude, Shapotomous, Kenny B and 2 others 5 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...
Micah T Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Worked on 140 and in; tried to hit the green on the sim using my 52, 48, and my 44 degree wedges. Really eye opening to see how swinging close to my top end really brings out my left miss. This just in spies: taking more club and swinging easier or hitting knockdown shots with a longer club can greatly improve your dispersion.In related news, the sun is yellow and the sky is blue.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy cksurfdude, juspoole, Kenny B and 2 others 3 2 Quote Driver - Cobra LtDxLS 3 Wood - Ping g410 LST 2iron - Titleist U505 Irons - Ping i59 Wedges - Vokey Sm9 Putter - Mizuno Mcraft IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Worked at the range on driver face contact. Everything still heel side. Got frustrated and just cleared head and swung away and things were better. Thinking my head gets in the way too much. Or I just need to swing with anger and the ball and club obeys. otherwise wedge and putting practice with Qstar divide. Very useful for those applications.

sirchunksalot Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Today was another SuperSpeed day and while doing that, I was working on getting my clubhead outside my hands and trying to lessen my outside to in path. Had some pretty good speeds and felt like I was coming more from the inside. Got out just a few minutes ago with a club and the GoPro to get video to see if it worked. After looking at the video, it was better. The clubhead was still a hair to the inside of my hands, but it looked like my path was better than the extreme OTT I had Sunday at the range. I get my first Moderna shot tomorrow and if that doesn't adversely affect me, I'm going to the range or possibly play. We've been cut down to eight hour days and that should give me time after work to hit some balls.

dlow206 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I spent a few minutes today thinking about why I don't setup my short wedge shots to use the bounce and what it looks like to setup a wedge shot to expose the bounce. I know about the bounce concept, but for some reason i like to set myself up for failure with the leading edge jammed into the ground at setup on pitch shots.

I’ll be going next week for dose 1 of Moderna. Also hoping for minimal effects. My wife however, is preparing for “Severe Man-Cold” symptoms.
