MrBandit Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Range finally open after been closed for 6month. First time in a long time I worked on my irons primarily and then hit about 10 balls with my driver. Felt a little stiff but like every time you go to the range. You find something new that made you hit the ball consistently for that session. Weird hitting the range, since I mostly work on my short game, i was glad that it wasn't a complete was of time. Until next month hit the range work again..

RichL85 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Range session after work today. Not the best day overall, but was able to make some minor adjustments and get things on track. Was pushing things a bit right to start but got it straightened out and finished off with a handful of shots with my 5 iron and 3 wood. They tend to give me to most problems so I figured they would show any glaring problems with what I felt like fixed the issue. Must have done something right because I don't think I've hit my 3 wood that consistently well since I put it in the bag. Overall, happy with where things are at, now I just need free time to play more often. sirchunksalot, Jim Shaw, Garbox80 and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: PXG 0811XF Gen 4 w/ Fujikura Motore X F3 6- 3 Wood: PXG 0341XF Gen 4 w/ Mitsubishi Diamana S+ 70g Hybrids: 19 and 22 degree PXG 0317XF Gen 4 w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 80g Irons: 5-PW PXG 0311P Gen 4 w/ KBS Tour 120 Wedges: Indi 50 FLX, 54 FLX, 58 ATK w/ KBS Wedge 610 (Official Review) Putter: Battle Ready Blackjack, 36.5”, Double Bend neck Spornia SPG-7 hitting net review 2023 Titleist White Box ProV1 review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkj427 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Had a long and productive range session Friday evening after working from home all day completing a lot of required computer work. There is a newer, 3 year old range that is north of my home location that is really starting to take shape as it was originally a large vacant field in between a couple of small towns. Spent a couple hours with SWMBO also there watching, and started with my usual short game chipping that I can do at home, and then worked through the bag from full wedges, to full iron shots. Only being able to get a round in this year while out of town for work, this time spent was well worthwhile, and I honestly did not have more than a handful of shots where the results were anything but good. I did not attempt to swing fairway woods or driver, typically I try to get a few rounds or practice in with irons to get everything required in a good swing/result back to mid-season form. Posted a few pictures of the range, so even though SWMBO had recent surgery, she was able to both move around, and then sit as she wanted too.

RichL85 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Solid hour and a half practice session today in the quickly warming up heat of central California. Should be hitting triple digits soon, but today was lower 90s. Popped in my earbuds and pretty much ignored the existence of everyone around. Got warmed up and then hit through the bag. Wanted to see if the off season speed work showed throughout the bag. Overall pretty solid results with irons showing 4-5 mph more speed and 8-10 mph gain with the woods. Gapping was still where I wanted it to be, just going to adjust for a little more distance throughout. After that I spent a bit of time with driver specifically because it is one of my more inconsistent clubs. Overall good results with a few wild flyers that I need to try to get rid of. Moved onto some work with the wedges hitting different distances with all of my wedges and also worked on learning to hit a bit more of a lower flighted wedge shot. That was fun and actually had some success hitting that flighted shot all the way up through about the 7 iron. May not need that shot too often, but it's nice to have. Finished up with about 20 minutes on the putting green. I still absolutely hate putting practice but I'm convinced that I need to do it. I miss having golf friends to have little competitions with on the practice green. I'm competitive enough to get into putting practice in that situation, but bored outta my skull by myself.

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Tried working on tempo today with irons and driver. Also got side tracked and demoed a paradym TD. One of the best sounding drivers. Feels fast and stable. It was 3 mph faster than my epic max on CHS today. Sadly ball speed wasn’t there with my gamer shaft. Maybe my swing isn’t releasing enough or I am just not transferring energy enough. Who knows. Irons were rough today. Lots of fats and pushes. Need to really focus on hitting inside of the ball and trying to hit the toe. Then focused 30 mins on putting. 20 on lag/ ladder drills and then ten footers to either make or tap in. 10ft really killed me last round. paradym TD 9* Ventus black 6x epic max ls Ventus black 6x RichL85, cksurfdude, sirchunksalot and 2 others 5 Quote Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low Driver: Epic Max LS Ventus Black 6x 44.5" 3wHL: Rogue ST LS 75x Tensei AV Blue w/ xlink 7w: Apex UW 21* MMT 80S DI: Caley 01X 18* with KBS PGH Stiff plus 95g 4-AW: 0211 with KBS Tour Stiff 2.5* up 3/4" long, Soft stepped, MOI matched Wedges Zipcore Putter: L.A.B.

Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted May 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2023 I went to the range today to mostly work on partial shots and chipping with clubs other than my specialty wedges. The last time I played, chip shots killed me. The ground was so hard and the grass so tight that I bladed everything. I went through some 7 and 8 irons plus my set GW. I think the lower bounce of my irons would have benefited me along with a putting stroke. I did hit some full shots focusing on a spot a couple of inches in front of the ball, getting my weight on the arch of my trail foot, and keeping slight knee bend at the top. I hit the ball pretty well, even some fairway woods. I hit driver a couple of times and it wasn't too good. Part of the reason I wanted to go so bad was to see how I like the Cobra stand bag. So far, I'm liking it. This is the first stand bag I've used and since my range doesn't have bag holders it was nice to have the stand. cnosil, rkj427, cksurfdude and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Found this 30 day practice series and worked on some of the moves on it today. Two things I really need to focus on. At the top, doing what they call a palmer rotation to get my lead wrist flat. When I was practicing this today varying degrees of rotation lead to straight or hooks. it was an interesting feeling. The other was proper release of the club, feeling like there is a string attached to lead hip which connects to the butt of your club and you have to pull it as fast as you can. Both these things were something my coach wanted me to work on and I think i found some good drills to do this with. https://golfevolution.com/instruction/30-day-plan/ cksurfdude, JerryB and sirchunksalot 3 Quote Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low Driver: Epic Max LS Ventus Black 6x 44.5" 3wHL: Rogue ST LS 75x Tensei AV Blue w/ xlink 7w: Apex UW 21* MMT 80S DI: Caley 01X 18* with KBS PGH Stiff plus 95g 4-AW: 0211 with KBS Tour Stiff 2.5* up 3/4" long, Soft stepped, MOI matched Wedges Zipcore Putter: L.A.B.

After 1st time out on the course I was swinging my iron like the 3rd demo mark was describing Way inside takeaways and then to hit it straight line and it ended up hooking Its just more difficult to image a curve right to left along the ground and in the air when I setup to hit my irons I have a fear setting up to the right and swinging to that direction and the ball will not come back with draw But reality when I try to hit it straight it will hook , great video explanation What I try to do now to see the "circle" is to swing along my torso which is circular Swinging along my armpit plane in a circular pattern works for me Edited May 16, 2023 by Haro cksurfdude, sirchunksalot and Vegan_Golfer_PNW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navart Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hit a large bucket after work on a beautiful afternoon yesterday. Recently I've been struggling with the mid-long irons/hybrids (6i-4h) which is frustrating because I've typically been able to get solid contact with them. I focused on approaching each ball like I would each stroke on the course, finding my target, a repeatable setup and ball location. Then swing with easy tempo and let gravity do the work... I felt really good about my 6i getting back to my typical yardage and flying em straight. The hybrids were still a struggle so I finished off with a few wedges 40-100yds to pick my spirits up for the ride home.

DeBartola_B Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Question for people who practice frequently on a net without any type of launch monitor. How many balls do you typically hit and what are you looking to accomplish? I've been hitting into the net pretty frequently over the last 6 months or so, much more than I am able to get to a course. I typically only hit 30, maybe 40 balls at a time and usually just work on ball striking. I use the foot spray a lot to get a gauge of where I am striking the ball on the clubface. I have found this to be very beneficial to my game as my iron play and ball striking has improved drastically over the last year. It's not rocket science to me, you work on one aspect of your game and it gets better. I guess my questions is there anything anyone has done while hitting on nets to improve wedges, 75 yards and in? That is such a difficult distance/shot for me to get a feel on how I am doing without watching the complete ball flight and is definitely the part of the game I need to work on the most. cksurfdude, Josh Ross and sirchunksalot 3 Quote Driver - Cobra LTDx LS 9* Silver Rouge 110 msi 70 X 3W -Titleist TSR2 15* TENSEI 1K Black 75 5W - Cobra LTDx 18.5* TENSEI 1K Black 75 Irons - 4-PW Cobra LTDx Nippon Tour 120 X-Stiff Wedges - 52*, 56*, 60* Cobra KING Putter - Toulon Palm Springs Ball - Taylormade TP5x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy_BEN Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Stopped in to hit a bucket today. Started with the 50 degree hitting to a pin 110yds out, landed 5 of 6 shots within 20 feet. Next was 8i and 5i to loosen up, then on to the reason I stopped in. The remainder of the bucket (approx. 40 balls) was used to work out an issue I’ve been having with the driver. Focused on 3 things: staying behind the ball through impact, club path in to out, and proper release. Overall, progress was made. The best drives I hit of the lot weren’t the furthest but rather the ones that created these results: This one had a baby draw on it. Decent shape. Good result My battle with the driver has been an excessive amount of spin that is sapping my distance. Because these things tend to be cyclical and the good lord rarely gives with both hands, my ball striking with my irons has been above average. About the time I get this driver figured out, the irons will go to seed again.

RaRa Golf Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Played a nice Stanley Thompson designed local 9-hole with my buddy yesterday. Chipping wasn't great, putting was atrocious... but my driver... it came to play! I sky'd the first drive on the first hole, but after that, I hit every fairway of every driver hole, and I hit 2 of the best drives I've ever hit in my entire golfing lifetime. The single plane swing seems to work wonders for my driver, and yesterday was just more evidence to me that I need to keep implementing that technique. cksurfdude and JerryB 2 Quote Driver: Mizuno ST-190 3W: Adams Tight Lies Titanium 13.5º (2015) 5W: Adams Tight Lies 16º (2014) / Adams Black Super Hybrid 17º / Adams Super Hybrid 19º Irons: Adams CB1 4 - GW / Adams CMB 4 - GW / Adams CB2 5 - GW Wedges: Cleveland RTX 4.0 56º / Burke Golf TF01 60º Putter(s): Odyssey 2-Ball original / O-Works 2-Ball Fang Tank / White Ice #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I got my baseline swing speed I spent the rest of the time there working on my mechanics for my backswing.

I was there the same years, became friends with a lot of the guys on the team and probably crossed paths with you often. You should try to join us for the Donors Tournament in August! Won it two years ago with a 71 but it has moved to a scramble. It's at the University Course. cksurfdude, Garbox80 and sirchunksalot 3 Quote In my Lux XV Cart Bag: Driver: RADSPEED XB PTC 10.5° Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 VII Stiff Utility: Apex UW 17° and 19° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 70 6.0 4 Hybrid: KING LTDx 21° KBS PGI 85 Stiff Irons: ZX5/ZX7 Project X LZ 6.0 Wedges: 2.0 49°, 53°, 57° Project X LZ 6.0 Putter: LINK.1 34" Ball: Tour (Thanks MGS for allowing me to test these!)

I was born and raised in the South and as much as I love OLineman I do think it is kinda remedial to have to remind hillbilly students in Georgia that they are in the South.

Been a couple years since i've been back (which is a crime since i'm only an hour away). Need to get back up there and play it. Very fun course and i'd like to think I'm a better golfer now than when i was in school so would hopefully be even more enjoyable Edited May 19, 2023 by Charles Lechair Garbox80, sirchunksalot and cksurfdude 3 Quote Lefty Gang Cally Mavrik 10.5 - Rogue White 60 TX Cobra Radspeed 5w at 16* - Motore F1 7x Srixon ZU85 3i - Tensei Blue 80tx Srixon Z785 4-PW - DG X100 Cally Jaws MD5 Raw 52* MD3 56* & 60 Scotty Phantom X5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
