ejgaudette Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Yesterday I started working on building out my wedge matrix with the new Pings that I got in the off-season. This was a tough spot in my first round of the year expectedly given the new loft set up. Working on adjusting both gripping up and down the club and how wide my feet are to help control swing length. It feels like it is working well. Moving form the bottom of the grip, to the middle, to the end of the grip with my 50 produced nice 10 yard gaps from 50, 60, and 70. It will be very helpful to have multiple trajectories at these yardages. cksurfdude, JerryB, IndyBonzo and 3 others 6 Quote Epic Max LS 9° Ventus Blue 6X (2021 Official Review) | Epic Speed 18° Evenflow Riptide 70g 6.0 816 H1 21° Diamana S+ Blue 70 S | SMS 4-5/SMS Pro 6-PW Steelfiber i95 S (2023 Official Review) Glide 4.0 50°.12°S/54°.14°W/58°.6°T PING Z-Z115 Wedge Flex | SOFT 11S Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Hoofer Bag | Pro V1 | Right Handed | Tracked by V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSmith2316 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hit the range again to dial in the long game, so Driver down to 5 iron. Still just working on getting the cobwebs out of the system so not really thinking about too much. However one note I saw while on the driver was I saw a dramatic difference in apex height versus my old LTD Pro. I don’t know if I am just catching it too high on the face or if that is just the way my LTDx LS should normally be feeling.

IndyBonzo Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I snuck away again between work and dinner yesterday to work on my iron striking. (This seems to be happening a lot lately.) This drill really worked for me, along with putting a penny about four inches behind the ball and avoiding hitting it. I saw immediate distance and accuracy gains with good strikes, and much more rollout too. Will try taking this to the course over the weekend. So simple - and it works on the range for sure. Merely aiming (i.e., focusing my eye) ahead of the ball made a giant difference. Sluggo42, sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and 3 others 6 Quote Working at getting better ... and very slowly getting there.

WholeinOne Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I practiced short game today. Spent time with wedges from 5-15 yards off the green. Then sand trap for a bit. Then went to the driving range and hit balls at 30, 50, 70 and 90 yards. In total spent maybe 90 minutes.

No3PuttLaLa Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hit the range first to focus on my mishits. Noticed I was getting too long in backswing and extending way too early. Focused on really shortening backswing and putting a little bit of weight shift into front foot to stop the sway. Finished on the Green. I played a little game with myself. I would spin a tee, chip towards that hole from the rough, then try to one putt. Did this for about 50 chips. Was a fun way to switch it up. cksurfdude, sirchunksalot, JerryB and 4 others 7 Quote Driver: M4 10.5* / Evenflow Blue 6.0 Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Woods: M6 3W 15* / Evenflow Blue 6.0 Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Hybrid: M4 Rescue 19* / KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 85g Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Irons: Z585 4-AW / KBS Tour 90 - Regular +1" / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Wedges: CBX - 56* & 60* / KBS Hi Rev 2.0 - Regular +1" / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Putter: Sigma 2 Tyne 4 Platinum / Superstroke Pistol Ball: Project a Bag: Hoofer 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodigal Duffer Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I practiced tempo and lag with my birdie balls. Hit ~40 with my 56 degree and the same with my 6 iron. Focusing on slowing up the backswing and making sure I fully hinge at the top. Shockingly, it makes an incredible difference. Who’d have thought? I’m pretty happy with how I hit the balls. Of course, hit some bad ones, but I’d say 70 of the 80 flew as intended and generally on target. The other 10ish easily diagnosed as mechanical issues.

Do you need to use the special made golf balls or can you get good results with regular balls? Is it perfect? No, but for the price I have been really happy. I pay for the Garmin monthly membership ($9/month I think?). I also have an iPhone so I have the free 5 courses from e6. I have found e6 to be more accurate and consistent on numbers. When using the Garmin range or home tee hero, I have found the distance to be a little short. I generally either crank up the temp/humidity/altitude to compensate or treat it like I’m playing a cold morning round and play a club longer. I have tried the Rct balls yet but most people I’ve talked to say they are game changers just another expense. If you use at the range it is more accurate. The most inconsistent measurement I have found is the side spin, especially with woods. Overall, I got it for $500 off 2nd swing about 6 months ago, then have a couple hundred more into my set-up. All-in-all under 1,000 for everything and that doesn’t even buy you other high end options. My wife and friends have loved it too even though they aren’t as diehard golfers as me. One other note, I hit off the fiberbuilt flight deck indoors and absolutely love it. Held up incredibly well and no broken clubs or pain hitting off it, even on nights where I’ve taken hundreds of swings. I may throw and unofficial review up for it too bc it’s such a great value.

JerryB Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Spent the last hour or so in the garage hitting into the net. Started with wedges trying to take partial swings and also partial speeds. Slowing my swing down is really difficult for me; it gets me all disjointed. Thinking about it, I've got two swing speeds: 100% and 110%. Which... y'know, says some things about me. The partial swings also got me to realize that given the bump and run thread I started the other day, I really ought to work on that shot. Most of my "bump and runs" this year have been much closer to putts than chips. That's alright with the grass still dormant but probably won't fly (so to speak) once it starts growing again. So the last half hour was spent aiming at a target about ten or twelve feet away with different clubs and different trajectories. Soon I'll have to take it outside and see the rollouts, but the results were pretty promising.

When I got my second set of irons I couldn't hit them for anything. I had to learn various speeds to hit a 5 wood anywhere from 125-170 just because of the massive lack of confidence I had. That has been almost 30 years ago and is still something that had stuck with me, just not to the same degree. I discovered the last round I played that I wasn't giving it enough speed, especially with driver and tried to remember to let it rip. I had one of the best driving days I've had in a long time. Hopefully I'll continue to do that going forward and honestly I've been trying to motivate myself to get back on speed training.

jaz29 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I hit 2 large buckets of balls with just a 52* wedge. I have been reading a lot about statistics to lower my handicap and this is the space, where I can improve the most. For the first bucket, I tried to hit every shot shape while moving the ball in all positions in my stance to get the shots that I wanted.

pgareject87 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm working on sequencing, both in backswing and downswing right now. Lots of slow motion and low power swings to get the feels. cksurfdude, JerryB and Merlin1313 3 Quote "Be a goldfish" - Ted Lasso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to try the program you can get a free trail without the need to provide a credit card. Will give a little deeper insight that isn’t in the freely available videos on YouTube. I thought it was great information and learned a lot about course management.
