What/How Did You Practice Today?


null

Recommended Posts

Range day. Was nice out but 21 mph sustained winds (35mph gusts) and rain. Also no short game work as we got about 3” of rain in the last 24 hours plus the melt from snow and ice. I forgot my shoes at home.  Made traction bad and messed with me mentally. My 6i and 4i were pretty decent. Did some shaping practice for calibration and some low point work. 4w was good. Driver contact was great. Had great ball speeds for the Chs I was seeing (106-108). The overspeed benefits weren’t there today likely because I trained yesterday. I think I also need to try and get out once a week and just swing driver as fast as I can to push it.  Finished with wedges and was struggling with thins and shanks. Likely due to being tired. It was the end of a jumbo bucket. I discovered the course I went to has an indoor TrackMan now. $30 for 30 mins. I may try to do a couple sessions just to see where things are at.

I was finally able to get to the range today after being sidelined for a little over a month. It was wonderful to be able to swing a club again after so long (apologies to my northern friends). 

Hit quite a few partial wedges to warm up and just get the feel for hitting a ball again. The first shot was just so good.

I hit up the range again today, wanted to work on staying connected during the swing. I realized this at the end of my last session and saw an improvement in strike.

I started out with wedges, but some really good ones and some that I could only describe using the s-word....S&@#k.

I had two thoughts today, stay connected and rotate. 

Hit irons really good, at least according to my usual standard. I did see a little more of a heel bias than last time, but managed to keep it under control.

Fairway woods were ok, I still need some work on them. I would flush one, then top another.

Driver showed the most improvement over last time.

After going through a good bit of the bucket doing block practice, I played a few holes in my mind, switching clubs between shots. I really enjoy this type of practice because it doesn't allow you to get in a groove with any one club. 

Finished off with about 30 minutes of time in the putting green.

Good! I wrote about it over in my work in progress thread, but the basics is that I'm still working on club face stability through impact. I tend to over rotate the face and hit hooks and overdraws. 

I was able to get in the garage yesterday before the storm hit and work on the tweaks we made. Some good, some bad. My strike moved in towards the heel a bit and as a result my efficiency went down and I had quite a few nasty shanks. Hopefully that will sort itself out. Good example swing with a wedge below, tightened up backswing with a more across the chest finish.

 

Quoting myself here as I figured out the cause of the shanks and heels after a couple of sessions where they continued to pop up. I started to get a little too focused on keeping my club face more open at impact and started to drag the club too far inside in the back swing, which led to me "pushing" the hosel into the ball through impact.

This morning's session started off pretty frustrating until I got that sorted. A good feel for me is to feel like my trail arm gets a little disconnected away from me as I take the club back. In my case feel isn't real, so when I have this "disconnected" feeling it's actually me keeping my arms and club in front of my body instead of sucking it inside.

Swings have been coming along nicely, and today with my garage nearing 50 degrees I was seeing some really good ball speeds out of both my 6 iron and driver, while my face control continues to improve. I've been very happy with my driver impact patterns as of late, the below being the results after 27 shots (the bottom part rubbed clean from the rubber tee):

Took some cuts into the net today.  I set up and realized the shadow from my head was right over the ball.  This allowed me to work on keeping my head still, minimizing both head movement and body swaying.  Then I tried to eliminate my chicken wing on the takeaway.  Work in progress but it all came together on one swing and felt like a million bucks!

Last shot, I shanked it and missed the net.  It bounced off the wall and... nothing.  Never heard anything else and haven't found the ball yet.  Found the dent in the drywall (whoops).  Odd. 🤔

It happens!!  I bounced a few off the wall in the unfinished room that I tore down to build my hitting bay.  I padded the wall in my new room  Probably should find a way to prevent shanks from getting to the wall or pad the area; significant damage can be done to you, house or whatever is stored there.

We're trying to re-jigger our setup; thinking about a smaller net, like something from Spornia with the side netting.  Based on the location of the wall dents it feels like it should be good.  Gotta do some more research.

Worked on a feel the last few days of starting my lead shoulder up and away in down swing. Also incorporated a slightly open face at address. Kept at it today on the range and took video for a lesson. Trying to understand why my irons have become heely since Moi matching them. I’m thinking the slight length increase did that. Of course, one of the 5i I hit for the video was a straight high beauty.  Driver was decent. My path was very left dominant but strikes just heel side of center. Hit some 93mph CHS with my 5i which felt nice. Also lined three balls up and tried to hit them in stride not pausing. That was fun to do.

I'll second that, even with the extra side extensions some can get through.

Not saying bad about the Spornia, it's a great net that's easy to put up and take down. Plus, I love the fact it's got the roof net...it probably saved my back door on a couple of occasions.

I started the new year to improve my ball striking and recrafting my swing. It was a driveway session with the hitting mat and net.

Playing partner shared a photo of our course from Seneca Street in South Buffalo to our playing group with a comment, "if you squint you can see Derek hitting off the first tee."  Well there was no way I was going to let that go unanswered and went over to the course with my son with a couple color balls and my 7i and played the first and second fairways. First full swings since November and good contact.  Didn't make it to the 2nd green as the not yet melted drifts from last week's blizzard across the 2nd fairway made both balls disappear. Still, it is golf in January ⛳

it was great to get back to the practice area today after about 3 weeks off, worked at the practice green area on my 40 yd. shots, went through the shag bag, then the greens crew cut the practice green so I had to spend 45 minutes working on my putting with a putting mirror to check my eyes behind the ball, make sure my putter is square and take the putter back and through properly, then hit some 20 footers to get a feel back. then went to the range and hit 30 balls, focusing on 1-eye on the back of the ball, 2-head still, 3-follow through... that was enough for today, will do the same tomorrow then play wednesday.

It's ok, gives the home a little more character.

I need to go back and practice my putting again.. i have been horrible the last 4 rounds.  I even went back to old dependable StrokeLab 7 since I lost the feel on my Evnroll Outback 10.

Then I have to make some range sessions with my irons, need to get those dialed in. Am still not 100% on how to hit them and how far they are going. Last 3 rounds. Some shots felt like I hit them on the sweet spot and went no where and others I felt like I missed hit went the yardage.

Last day of our holiday break, 40s and rainy, so I made the trek up to the heated range to see some actual ball flight. I love being able to practice in my garage with my Mevo+, but sometimes my brain just needs to actually see the ball go to make sure what I'm doing is right.

I rotated through a few clubs after 7-8 balls each for a bucket and a half, and then for the last half bucket I swapped between 4 wood and hybrid every two balls as not to get in a rhythm.

Results were good! I'm amazed how much my golf swing has changed since I started going to this range back in the fall of 2019. My miss is still a pull, pull draw or overdraw, but they are much less frequent than even at the end of the season. I wasn't swinging all out but was comfortable and my distances seemed OK given the range balls are absolutely the worst things you can possible hit (ancient Nike practice balls with pretty much no dimples).

I had some really good swings with the wood and hybrid that had me beaming. Still working on getting things all aligned - I'm close. Some good feels for me today were to stay tall at address, re-center my pressure by P2 and then something I saw on Jake Hutt's Instagram the other day, a feel that I'm trying to spin my feet closed to start the downswing. Really seems to get the club moving more left for me and keeps me from spinning out too early in the downswing.

Took 125 swings on the  nitroswing then hit about 30 balls with my feet together, a really good practice session. I'm in Akron Ohio at a driving range that stays open all year round, it's nice hitting balls in January

Took some cuts into the net with my 8 iron today.  Had a bit of an "ah-ha" moment where I really narrowed my stance and gripped down as far as possible.  Had much more consistent contact and gave me some things to think about, which I touch on in my Gettin' Better thread.
