chisag Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 ... Yup a very difficult drill because it exposes your swing flaws. Which of course is the purpose of the drill. Most find the sweet spot just under their normal distance when they are still swinging smoothly but not 100% of normal. Hang in there amigo, I have a feeling you will reap the benefits as you continue with the drill.

I think it'll be good for my game, I'm a strong believer repetition helps ingrain better habits.

CarlH Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Playing lesson with my swing coach today. Made some adjustments to posture for putting and driver. Worked on green reading, decision making and thought process, and some minor tweaks to putting posture, chipping posture, driver ball position and setup. Finished with a few minutes on driving range with the driver to work out a couple of things. Afterwards, I joined a few of my buddies during their round and played about 9 holes, working on the things we discussed. Things I'm still working on -- rotation, balance, better weight shift and finish. cksurfdude, Rickp, cnosil and 1 other 4 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.

sirchunksalot Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I took last week off from SuperSpeed training due to a bit of soreness in my left foot caused by what I believe is the non dominant swings. I started back up today swinging only on my dominant side, which isn't ideal but is better than nothing. Still saw some pretty good speeds and I'm right there at when the jump in speed takes place. Can't wait to retest in a couple of weeks! cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK and cnosil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy BOS Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I went outside on lunch today and did a SuperSpeed session.... man did I feel slow today. I barely sniffed in the mid-120's on the light stick. But I feel like I got some decent speeds with the middle and heavy stick. It's been far too long since I've done a full session. I don't think I was feeling the light head all that well today which was messing up my timing. I want to get to the range at some point this week/weekend. Maybe get out for 9 too, but I needed to get some speed training in!

analyticandrew Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I’ve been doing a fair amount of home office putting these last couple weeks. Still had 31 putts this past weekend BUT I had only ONE putt that ended more than a foot away from the cup and that was on a 60 footer (ended up 4 feet short). I missed 8 putts that were 16’ or closer. No three putts. I’m looking forward to making even 3 of those 8 in the near future and 6 of them in the distant future! Would have brought my round down to 75 (five over) or 72 (two over). We will get there! Today I worked on a few things: 1. Putting Grip - I never have had a grip that I feel comfortable with. I’ve tried traditional, left hand low, split hands, finger down, lots of overlap... so many things. Today I felt pretty good! Settled on traditional with two fingers overlapping from my left hand onto my right. I also brought my right index finger down the shaft a little bit. Not pointing down the side, but more “dangling”. I felt like I could grip with a light pressure this way. 2. Putting Speed. I subscribe to DECADE and one of the drills there is around speed. I didn’t have a lot of room in my office while I was on calls, so I practiced a lot of 5’ putts making sure I rolled the ball exactly between 5’ and 6’. I then moved back to 6’ and 7’ (the furthest I could go with some stuff we have on the floor) still stopping the ball within 12” of two quarters on the floor. Hoping it pays off this weekend. Headed to the range on Friday to a Toptracer range as I want to work on getting my driver launch angle more consistent. Traditionally I’ve been around 1.4° but that can go as low as -2° and as high as 4.5°. I end up obviously with VERY different results if I put that different of a swing on it. cksurfdude and sirchunksalot 2 Quote TS3 9° Driver with HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 6.5 TSi3 15° Fairway with HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 6.5 ZX 2 iron JPX 900 Forged 4-GW 54°, 60° Full Face Spider SR Single Bend Z Star Diamond Hoofer R1 Rangefinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strokes Gaines putting on those 8 putts was -3.54. So yeah, a couple of them were REALLY bad. Again, I’m shooting for making 6. Realistically (as I noted) making 3 I’m happy with.

Thats why saying something like inside 16 feet is really a bad way of putting things. It is like when the TV announcers say that a player made X amount of putts inside of 12 feet. They probably made 1 12 footer and all the rest were inside of 3 feet. cksurfdude, rmvanbuskirk, RickyBobby_PR and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvanbuskirk Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Had a great day at the range today. Practice some drills I got from my coach which is helping to get rid of my slice and actually starting to get a slight draw. The best part was after the driving range I spent 2 hours practicing 20-30 yeard chip. The local course I go to was slow and only one other person was on the chipping/putting green while I was there. It helps in confidence if you don't ahve to worry about getting in someones way or shanking a ball while someone else is practicing.

edingc Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Another couple of buckets this week after my round Tuesday. Think I'm making some more progress. I love how when you start to focus on one area another problem rears its head. I figured out my long club woes are the result of me rolling my arms back inside again with my takeaway. When I really make sure my right forearm arm stays over the left on the way back (forcing my arm off of my side and getting me more upright) I hit some fantastic shots. I've been practicing almost exclusively with my longer clubs (3 utility, 4 iron, hybrids) because the shorter irons are more forgiving when I come too far inside on the backswing.

GolfSpy BOS Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Today's SuperSpeed training was going much better than Wednesdays! As I had said I struggled to move the heavy club with any velocity but today I was right up near my blue club speeds. I was about 10 MPH faster with it today. I started the 3rd protocol but I instead of doing 4 of each club I added 3 using the counter weight club to start. My fastest speed of the day actually came with that club on off hand swings. I hit 130 mph and was quite surprised. Unfortunately I could feel a blister coming so I bowed out of my final 3 swings of the day. Also this morning I did some planemate work. I really like using it the morning. Gets the muscles engaged early and helps loosen up any tightness in my lower back.

sirchunksalot Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I got off work today and since I've had swing thoughts dancing around in my head, I decided to take a trip to the range. I wasn't sure if it would be wise after waking up at 3:30, but I couldn't resist. My 20 yard wedge shot was money! I was hitting close to target and working trajectory decently. Now, my 50 yard wedge shot was not anything to write home about. Shank, shank, and more shank was the theme of the day. I decided to leave it and come back and try again later. Hit my irons decently well, put some alignment sticks down and am feeling like in set up way right of the target, but was hitting them as straight as I have in a long time. I then moved on to the driver drill @chisag told me about and had some pretty good results. Started out on the heel, but was able to make a slight adjustment to move them closer to the center. I even found the center, once, but that's progress! I then decided to leave my comfort zone with irons. I think I've mentioned before that you can watch the grass grow in the time I stand over the ball. Well, I decided to take a couple of waggles, set my club behind the ball, and go. Oh momma! I was striping the ball, at least compared to how I normally hit. It was extremely uncomfortable and awkward, but the shots were so much better than normal. cnosil, cjeffs12, chisag and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know by now to trust I can hit a ball, I build cars for a living and repetition is the name of the game. I've just got to trust myself hitting a ball. ... It is one of the things about golf that is so radically different from most other sports. I was never very accurate standing and looking at a target and hitting it with a football. But when I wasn't thinking but just reacting I was very accurate. Kinda like The Sundance Kid when he said "I'm better when I move". You see good shooters in basketball struggle at the free throw line because they aren't reacting, they are thinking and often over thinking which is something they don't have time to do in the flow of the game. The more you can react and the less you think the better with your golf swing. No need to rush, but just waggle and keep moving even if it is just barely shifting your feet and try to swing in reaction to the shot you want to hit and not in non reaction to thinking. ... Now I know it just isn't that easy and I remember early in my career that I had lots of thoughts and froze over the ball. It was noe of my first advances when I started playing with a really good player and he forced me to just look at my landing area, step up, waggle once and then instantly start my swing. It felt waaaaaaay too fast so I get what your saying but just keep at it. sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and cnosil 3 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...

pulledabill Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Ive been working on swing change for weeks with most every shot on the range aided by sticks to change my path. Ive taken the training wheels off most of the time and things are going well and the longer clubs are seeing improvement which tells me things are improving. Much better divots or lack off and a straight ball flight with a slight draw at times which I'm ok with. Last night was zero range balls but 30 minutes on the putting green with the main focus being 10 feet and in. sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and gavinski91 3 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...
Shapotomous Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Putting, putting & more putting practice the last week or so. I still have a sore lump on my right wrist so I have give the wedge practice and playing a break hoping it eases up some. I have been continuing the one hand putting drill (with each hand) and for me it really seems to help me keep the face stable when going back to putting with two hands. I can't wait to do it before a round on the practice green and then see how it plays out on the course. I want to see if the effect is a short 15 minute impact while practicing or if it will extend to 3+ hours of 18 holes. cksurfdude, Rickp, sirchunksalot and 2 others 5 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!

revkev Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Was able to test out the Sim2 Max set up like i was fit for weds on the range today between a funeral this morning and work tonight. I’m also being allowed to take it to the course tomorrow afternoon and play with it. I didn’t want to abuse someone’s kindness so I just hit 4 with it. I was faster both with my driver and this one today than weds - I knew I didn’t swing especially well that day. Had the identical launch angle of 14 and ball flight of mid high draw and the same ball speed and carry distance gap. The Rapsodo only records carry so I don’t know about run out but based on what I could see the ball was taking off once it hit the ground. I also hit the lag shot training club followed by a bunch of 7 irons, a series of random chips and pitches around the practice green, some full wedge shots, 9 irons and 7 wood shots.

PMookie Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I had a GREAT FaceTime lesson with Tyler McGhie today! So stoked!!! Once he posts our summary videos on the app I’ll post some pics. I was crowding the swing again, so we worked on my stance at address, then creating room on the downswing, and the proper path/face angle, and how the club exits with all of the newly found space. Ugh. SOOOO good. I asked for some drills I can do to keep solidifying everything, and I got a couple! He’s REALLY good and worth the money. Seriously stoked after this lesson today!!!!

juspoole Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Went to the range to really try and work on my angle of attack for my driver. After putting together my kids' 16 foot trampoline, my back and hands were done for. I should have just foregone the range as I could not get much speed and my timing was off in general. Worked on putting for about 40 minutes as well hitting a lot of 5 - 8 footers. Trying to keep my hands soft and ensuring that I am getting the ball started on line each and every time.
