TJ Hall Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Did some indoor putting this evening. - 3 feet: 10/10 - 6 feet: 9/10 - 10 feet: 6/10 Overall it was a bit of a struggle…didn’t really feel too comfortable with the putter tonight for quite a while. Started to get better towards the end…widen my stance a little and focused on keeping the upper body steady (think I was swaying a little in the beginning).

Fore67 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Couldn't get out as a single first thing this morning, so took the opportunity to head out first on the back nine and play 2 balls. Concentrated on commitment and finish. Hit the ball really well. Playing the back nine before it gets set, means dewy greens and collapsed cups (not a crisp lip/edge). I had difficulty with the speed and line because of the dew and had a couple singe the edge which was compromised. All in all, had a great hour and 35 minutes. Got in before the rain started and home ahead of things getting started around here. Good warmup for a Monday round with the boys!!

Prodigal Duffer Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’ve been stinking it up lately, hitting slices on my drives, which I have never done before. Had a theory that I was mostly turning my shoulders but not my hips. Worked on really using my legs to shift my hips, pushing first on my back, and then on the front to bring the club through. Well, it was a really good session. Did not hit a single slice, ball flight was almost always straight. Hit a few hooks when released my wrists early. Biggest issue was opening hips too far and pulling the ball to the left. Shot dispersion: Love the birdie balls for practice.

sirchunksalot Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I got out to the range today to spend some time with the Mevo and if you want to read about the experience, you can head over to the FlightScope thread to read about it. TLDR: I hit decently well with the short irons and woods, but got a case of the shanks with the 7 and 8 irons. I worked on ball position and attempted not to let my wrists break down at the top of the backswing with the fairway woods and driver and hit some decent shots. I got on the practice green for a bit since there's been a putter change in my bag. I decided to bench the Agera in favor of my 2 Ball. I did pretty good with it and the comfort of having the Odyssey back in the bag was wonderful. I went to the chipping green and hit some stinkers until I noticed I was letting my body away back. I started keeping it still and was finally coping the ball like I know I can. Dweed, jbern, cksurfdude and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie T Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Day 43 (25 Feb 24) - Grabbed the TA 845s PW (48*) and the Indi GW (50*) some pitching fun - proximity to pin was key. 4 balls per club, distances of 15 yds, 20 yds and 25+. Results were very similar, but can easily see where either can do most jobs around the green. Was fun comparing late 80’s tech with 23 tech….

THE GOLF GUY Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) I went to the course today and did a “practice 9 “ , worked on punch shots and flighted wedges , which is what I needed to work on the most . Lots of wind lately which is not conducive for full and high shots . My scrambling could use a little work but at the moment I'm about at 40% , it will improve once the course grows in. I have had about 1 (3) putt per round but that is really tied to hitting better iron shots . But worked on some lag putting anyway. I like to keep stats and always work on my biggest weakness at the moment . Last but not least , my driver is solid as always , missed one fairway but was just in the light rough and got up close to the green on my approach, then chipped up to 5 foot and made the putt .

NubianRugby Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hit 60 balls today at the range, working on a beginning of the season swing change. Following up on what I think I learned yesterday; push my hands forward to de-loft the club a bit, come back slow & inside, and come through with my whole body instead of just my arms. I say it now like I had it all figured out on the range but this was the takeaway from yesterday and today. I was smoking my 7 iron, averaging 164 with a bad mishit on the first shot bringing down my average. Problem is that I'm not taking my 6,5,4 irons too much further; 183 on the 6, but only 174 with the 4! So I still have work to do. It's probably time for me to invest in lessons. I have a good idea of what I'm currently doing, what's the best approach to getting lessons? Talk to the pro at my local and see what happens is where I'll start. I feel like 1/2 dozen 1-on-1 sessions will take me where I want to go this season. What have people's experiences been with lessons? Going to be 60+ in DC tomorrow, got my clubs scrubbed up to be ready to squeeze in a quick 9 after work.

Dan P Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 We hit 70° in Michigan today, so I was able to get some gooding putting practice in the fresh air. Focused on setting up square and getting the ball rolling over a spot ~6 inches in front of the ball. I've also been putting the Stack Putting app through it's paces. It's proved to be addicting so far and gives much needed structure to my putting practice. The immediate feedback on my tendencies (missing left, not enough speed, etc) also helps to keep from mindlessly stroking putts without thinking about the bigger picture.

Willie T Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Day 45 (27 Feb 24) - spent time with the Edel 7i and moving the weights (of course in gusty 20 mph winds hard foam balls don’t fly as true - they will ride the wind like crazy and die like an overspun ball into it). It was fun moving the weights and noticing how the club reacted. No hard numbers - but based on the shot shapes seen, 6g in the heel, 4g in the middle and 2g in the toe produced a consistent predictable shot shape. Rob Person, TJ Hall and cksurfdude 3 Quote WITB?
