wely324 111 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I worked a bit on my putting yesterday indoors using a metal ruler to roll the ball on. It's a great tool/drill to do for feedback on whether you are striking the ball square and starting it online. I was using my perfect practice matt along with it. The reason I use the ruler is that there is no room for error if you push or pull the putt. You will recognize the direction right away. I will try to get some video of it today. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
revkev 23,082 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Quarantine, Day 9 - i still have no symptoms and will be free tomorrow. I went to the range - this is the huge advantage of being a member at a private club.Balls are out on the range already and I simply went mid day to the far corner at least 20 feet from the closest person. I hadn’t swung a club in a week and a half. Sadly that has become the norm since school resumed - it’s so hard to keep a school and church community safe.At any rate I was very happy with how I hit it. I know that my ideal launch with driver is between 15-16 degrees. I ended up with an average carry of 220 on the Rapsodo so not bad at all, for me. That’s around 240 with a gamer on the course, at sea level. Better though was how I hit 7 and 8 iron. I was easily carrying 7 past flags at 141 and 140 respectively - into a bit of wind and got three iron to those flags 1/3 of the time. I’m really loving my D7 forged irons - can’t wait until April when I can try them under stress - but for now the ball flight is beautiful Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 6 Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out. Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag. Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.

revkev 23,082 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Didn’t realize one could go play golf during a Covid quarantine 14 day period. I guess I should try to contract the virus and go on vacation to Florida to get some winter golf in!I don’t have COVID, I was exposed to it, it’s normal incubation period is 2-7 days. The CDC has reduced the quarantine time to 7 days for an exposure but our health department has yet to back it down and it’s still 10 to return to work. So I’m taking advantage of these last three days out for certain. I can assure you that I was not close to putting anyone at risk And yes, outside exercise has always been recommended by health officials even during lock downs. Our golf courses never closed.

Shapotomous 2,332 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It's been fairly good weather around here this winter and I have been getting a good bit of net time to work on a couple things. I videoed the mid winter progress today using an 8i. I have been trying to get my lead heel off the ground on the backswing, get to the 'holding a platter' position with my right hand on the backswing and trying to get my lead hip to open sooner on the downswing. The heel is going OK but the other two need a lot of work yet. There are more 3/4 swings to emphasize those changes in my training plan! I am pretty happy with the current state of the swing as some winters the weather has been so bad I wouldn't touch a club from Christmas until March. 5 Quote Modern Bag: Ping G410+ 9*, Accra TourZ X265 M5; Snake Eyes 18* & 23* Hybrids; Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged 3i; Mizuno JPX 900 Forged 5 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Cleveland Tour Action 49*, 53*, 57*; PX LZ 6.5 ; Ping Heppler Fetch; Ball - Snell MTB-X; Bag - Sun Mountain H2NO Classic Bag: Driver - Wilson Staff Persimmon; 3w - Hogan Speed Slot; 5w - Wilson Staff Tour Block; 3 - pw - Staff Dynapower; sw - Ram Tom Watson; putter - bullseye standard or flange.

Its about 20x35 post and beam building that houses the tractors, ladders, leftover project materials, coal bin, cans and other metal recycling stuff before I haul it away and some other stuff that needs to stay out of the weather. And since last spring the hitting mat & net live there which makes it nice to hit in bad or good weather or after dark since its well lit. 3 Quote Modern Bag: Ping G410+ 9*, Accra TourZ X265 M5; Snake Eyes 18* & 23* Hybrids; Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged 3i; Mizuno JPX 900 Forged 5 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Cleveland Tour Action 49*, 53*, 57*; PX LZ 6.5 ; Ping Heppler Fetch; Ball - Snell MTB-X; Bag - Sun Mountain H2NO Classic Bag: Driver - Wilson Staff Persimmon; 3w - Hogan Speed Slot; 5w - Wilson Staff Tour Block; 3 - pw - Staff Dynapower; sw - Ram Tom Watson; putter - bullseye standard or flange.

I'm pretty jealous of that setup, having a place out of the elements is something I would love. Your swing is looking good and I got a kick out of the sound since the video is in slow motion, it sounds explosive. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juspoole 2,000 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Gingerly got some iron swings in today on the skytrak to focus on turning my shoulders at the take away and letting my hands come down into the slot on the downswing and swinging a bit more in to out. Also set up a track on the rug for putting to my putt out trainer. Still some work to do as I was missing too many early with bad direction. 5 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: 818 H2 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X 3 Hybrid: 818H2 Fujikura Atmos TS Blue 8X 4 Iron - Srixon ZX 23* Recoil F5 Irons 5-PW: MP 18 SC Dynamic Gold AMT X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Inovai 6.0 Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny B 25,739 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Since it looked nice out my window, I decided to head to the course for some practice. 39 with a 10 mph wind. Sheesh!

PMookie 13,491 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I was dying to try the new driver, so I went to a Sim closer to my house this time. I warm-up on the range and yardages are WAY off. I go get an attendant and have them reset it. I start back up and begin to play Muirfield Village. Well. All I can say is that with this driver, I’m swinging 136mph, and ball speed is over 200. Yep. What a joke. I played the whole 18 just to swing, but it was ridiculous. Here are a couple pics of what the sim was spitting out.

Tiger endorses it.... Its inside a big entertainment business that has bowling, zip lines, sims, laser tag, etc. Driver felt great! It really doesn’t feel heavy. I tried the left dash balls and the two together felt AWESOME. The pic is the sim I’ll go to Sunday, where I usually go, that seems more accurate.

Trevino always says initiate the takeaway with the lead shoulder! I was initiating the takeaway thinking about my trail wrist if that makes sense. Look at a face-on view of Bobby Jones with a driver. With soft wrists I start the backswing with my arms/wrists actually bowing the trail wrist a little. The club lags behind then catches up. This prevents the club from being pulled to the inside (old, old habit that comes back periodically). When I get to transition, I get more rotation and the club comes more from the inside on the downswing. Much better strike; more distance and straighter shots. Now the truth will be known tomorrow when I take it to the course. 4 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
juspoole 2,000 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hitting more with the skytrak in the garage and trying to ensure I am making solid contact for the most part. Messing around with too many thoughts in my head and need to put an end to that. Might get a lesson once my ankle is all the way healed so that I know the specific drills to work on based on sound advice from a pga professional. 3 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: 818 H2 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X 3 Hybrid: 818H2 Fujikura Atmos TS Blue 8X 4 Iron - Srixon ZX 23* Recoil F5 Irons 5-PW: MP 18 SC Dynamic Gold AMT X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Inovai 6.0 Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Link to post Share on other sites
