Starting to get some big cukes. Almost time for pickle and salsa season! Tomatoes are all popping

I miss our garden fresh cukes and baby tomato's (garden in WA).  A bowl of them sliced with a splash of Italian dressing and some salt & pepper were the bees knees.

Have a predicament I need some help with…

This “new swing” I am finding the home button on the reg… however, I’m seeing a drop off in distance that I have thoroughly enjoyed… 

The accuracy with the “new swing” is top shelf.

The Bryson swing accuracy was all over the map as of recent..

Scoring, so far looks like it will benefit from the added accuracy, but I’ll have a longer club into the green sometimes… we are still talking a short iron.

Do I BASH the ball or finesse it?

Bash: 285+
 

Finesse: 265-285+…
 

Tell me what to do… wife says duh, accuracy… I say Bash bros.

 

Wht say you?

As a former bash bro I love the accuracy component I have found….knowing my miss is nice too. Even on pour driver days where I’m short and off…..it’s not as bad.

accuracy bro! Especially when it’s still out there

I need more info.   With bash the low end of your dispersion circle was 285 and now it is 265?   did you also get a drop of 20 yards in your top end?   How much loss of accuracy?  How wide was the pattern with bash and now with finesse?

The quick answer is that from a strategy perspective you should always want distance over accuracy.  It is also easier to reign in left right dispersion than add length.

I think I can eventually add the speed back. Drives were getting out of hand… fore both sides… now, striped.  
 

it really is just a set up change.  I’m still the same distance from the ball, but I let my hands naturally get into position like “most” of what you see.  Rather than hold them up on the impact plane.

As a guy who doesn’t carry a driver due to accuracy I have longer clubs to the green and it does hurt a little.

Ok, did some dry run speed checking today… and I’m confused…

115-117Mph with the driver, right where the bash swing was hovering…

But I’m hitting 112-113mph with my 3 iron… 

Is it me, or does the driver seem slow in comparison to the 3 iron speed?  I’d think it would be north of 120 with that?

Shaft?

use the 3 iron full time?

WT Heck?

Does anyone else suffer from whacking your head on the cupboard doors itis?  I’ve almost knocked myself our several times over the years.  I’m 5’11”… the dang doors open on top are in my “blind spot” and I either stand up, or run into the things.. and I’m not a clumsy person!  Man I am getting tired of seeing stars.

You do come up with some real interesting/funny s&$$!!  I believe you should be a honorary “Friday Bacon Boyz member”.  You would fit right in with us.

As far as smacking for head I routinely whack my head on the 3 coach lights on front of house on each side of garage doors.

It seems odd based on these numbers:  https://blog.trackmangolf.com/trackman-average-tour-stats/

Why you are doing that I couldn't tell you.  Could be driver setup and how you respond to the setup.  115-117 should have you carrying about 285.

If I ever get down that way Rick.  I will let you know.  I’d love to get a round in.

3-4 mph difference could be the length of the shaft as the speed of an object as the radius distance increases from the center point of the arc.  In other words, with the same swing speed of the hands on the grip, a longer shaft of hybrid, woods and driver will have the clubhead traveling faster than the shorter shaft of the irons (and as the irons get shorter the clubhead speed is reduced to the shortest shaft of the wedge).  That fact alone has me considering one length irons to work the shot shape with loft.

Understand, but my 3 iron is 39.5” and the driver is 45”… shouldn’t I see some sort of increase?  More than a few mph’s?

I mean, if I’m only going to gain that little I’m getting a 40” driver.  I can’t stand how far away and ugly drivers look to begin with.
