Not only is it fascinating watching your work and progress, but there's hardly been one that you've put up that hasn't given me something to think about in my own swing. 4 Quote Epic Flash Sub Zero, 9°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 X Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XTD Proto dHy 21°, Aldila Green NV Hybrid 105 S 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 5–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° Stroke Lab EXO Seven Mini, 34" Z-Star XV Full WITB with pictures Link to post Share on other sites
jlukes 13,196 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I have always known what I was doing wrong, even after my lesson program last year, and I still couldn't get the proper thoughts'feels to correct. I decided to go back to my instructor, Jason, who worked with in 2013 and 2014. He's really the only instructor I have had that has been able to drastically transform my swing. Before going to Jason in 2013, my driver spin was around 3500 and my launch was around 7 degrees. I was hitting so far down with my driver that it was robbing me of distance. Jason helped me hit up on the ball and turn my high cut into a draw. The new swing is all about control with the scoring clubs. He loves my driver swing and there are only a few tweaks we are going to make there, but he doesn't want to rob me of any speed. We are focusing on getting wider/deeper in the backswing (bringing my hands less inside) and then pivoting through the downswing and keeping my hands much lower. In just one lesson yesterday, we were already able to see very promising results on hitting knockdown shots with the PW and 8i. As I get more comfortable with the concepts and the move, I will be ramping up the speed and eventually translating it to full swings with the scoring clubs and then transitioning to the longer irons, hybrids and woods. Really excited to be working with Jason again. 7 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D M Craft II Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
cnosil 15,598 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Went to the range this evening and worked on the drills I learned last week. Man I can already see and feel the difference in my ball striking. I'm flushing my irons and really compressing the ball. Working on maintaining my posture through the downswing and feeling like I'm having the club exit more around my body to the left rather than up and to the left. Towel drill really helped me actually start hitting down on my irons. Coming together nicely. Didn’t look back so you may have already answered. What is your margin of error for placing the ball on front of the towel? 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

Smellis745 525 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The towel drill is one I've used in the past that really helped me out too. When I started working on my changes last winter, I was only hitting -1.5* down with pretty much every iron. My coach wanted that down to -3-4.5*, depending on the club. The towel drill and moving the ball back in my stance as the clubs got shorter really made a difference for me. ETA: I had always played the ball in the same position, regardless of club. The combo of towel drill and ball placement did get my angle of attack to a much more desirable range. 2 Quote TaylorMade SIM2 10.5 - Graphite Design Tour AD-HD 7 TX TaylorMade M6 15 - PX HZRDUS Green 80 6.5 TX Adams Red 18 - Matrix Altus Tour X Callaway XForged UT 21 (19*) - Aldila Rogue Black 105 TX Srixon Z965 4-P - PX 6.0 LS (hs 1x) Vokey SM8 52.08 F / SM6 58.14 K - TI DG 400 Scotty Cameron X7 Phantom 34” Bridgestone B XS Link to post Share on other sites

The swing from the beginning of the lesson is on the right.

Anything specific or just general housekeeping? Iron play. Arccos data magnified what I already know. I am leaving so many opportunities out there because of my poor approach shots. Last year I really cleaned up my short game with the planemate, but now I need to focus on the 85-170 range 2 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D M Craft II Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
