I'm very interested to see how this progresses and would be all over it if I wasn't on vacation while in between houses for the month of August. Would really like to see if there are any drops in scoring that happen or unintended consequences of swinging with no ball or feedback.

If there is something wrong with your swing....repeating it 100 times a day will only make it harder to fix. Without seeing the results of ball flight, they may be the worst swings you would fix immediately on the course.  Hard pass for me.

This was my thought as well.  Practice swings may be exercise, but without knowing that you're doing things the way you want to do them, it seems like it could be counterproductive.  You'd be better off with 30 or 40 practice shots, with feedback of some kind (launch monitor, video, ball flight).  You might be better off with 15 or 20 minutes of no-ball slow-motion drills in front of a mirror, rehearsing specific changes, combined with occasional live practice on a range.  I don't like the idea of practice swings as a swing improvement method.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes.  I used to take tons of no-ball practice swings growing up, working on what my teacher was teaching me.  

I'll probably hit birdieballs for at least some of these practice swings.

I started today, did 50 practice swings this morning. 

Went out and played 18

Just did the other 50 practice swings, my right shoulder is a little sore, but I felt pretty loose during the round earlier.

It is not much of something wrong, is more that Ive been feeling tight overall, and I'm trying to get to loosen up a bit, as well as working on developing a consistent delivery. 

But I get what you mean, practicing bad habits can actually get them to become worse.

I appreciate the feedback, eventually I want to get it to a point where I can hit a bunch of practice balls on a Net at the very least, right now is not something my practice set up allows me to do. 

I'm going to look into the slow motion drills with the mirror in mean time.

Unfortunately, the area I have to practice right now, would not be suitable even with the birdie balls. 

But as soon as I can I'm setting up a better practice area, with a net and hopefully something that can allow me to get some feedback of each shot.

I thought this would be referring to *hitting* 100 shots a day.  That would make a big difference.

100 swings only sounds like a good way to ingrain bad swings.  I agree with those above.

I would love to hit 100 balls a day, with different clubs, I'm working on getting the appropriate set up for it.

I remember watching the old Haney Project on the Golf Channel, I’m pretty sure he had Rush Limbaugh and Michael Phelps do the 100 swings a day drill. I think he had Rush do them with his Plane Finder teaching aid

I'm switching between clubs and the skilz gold flex, making sure that I'm hitting each club in my bag at least a few times per session.

9th of August, 20 Gold flex warm up swings pre round, played shot an 85. 30 gold flex swings in the afternoon.

That was my first round after a full week of practice, I played two challenges on the round, fans vs CCC4 contestants, and HRC, I felt that I hit my irons solid most of the rounds, I had a couple holes where I had the bad case of the toppings, but not as bad as I normally get.

No data on the distance of the tee as I only played my irons, however this week is driver and woods challenge time, so bombs away, I hope.

Overall during this experiment I played the best golf I have played in a long time.

I had a great ball strike, my scores for the month of august
image.png.c97685a33ebecf02fd4af95897db2859.png

I realize that the scores don't tell the whole story, I felt that I hit the normal full swing shots way better than before, I also felt that I started getting more confident specially with the wedges.

What worked:

I got much more flexibility, I felt that I gain yardage specially off the tee.

My shot path and plain felt much more consistent.

Things that didn't change:

I was not able to pull off shots that I did had on me from before.

It did not help me make better shot decisions, I still made pretty bad mistakes, I should have broken 80 on the later rounds, but I choose to "go for it" and failed miserably with shots I had no business trying.

My putting felt a little more sloppy than before.

I think the next part of this experiment is to get my self a home simulator, where I can get instant feedback on a controlled environment and I am able to try different shots.

I still found great value of this experiment.

Great experiment and good to see positive results for you!!  👍

I did something similar over the winter with the momentus weighted club to get more flexibility.  I can't really call it swings though because i was doing very slow exaggerated swings to increase my range of motion and it helped a lot.  In both irons and driver I am back to the distance I had about 5 years ago.  I can't get out to play a lot right now so I  try to hit 25 shots into the net each day with a 5, 8, &/or W to give some ball striking feedback.  It has helped a lot with the dispersion of my irons when I do get out.

I am still taking some swings daily, not as structured and as many as in august, I am very interested on keeping it flexible specially when it gets cold here in Michigan.

My ultimate goal it to have an in home simulator that I can hit balls in a daily manner, the only two things keeping me away from that right now, are price and space.

Overall during this experiment I played the best golf I have played in a long time.

I had a great ball strike, my scores for the month of august

I realize that the scores don't tell the whole story, I felt that I hit the normal full swing shots way better than before, I also felt that I started getting more confident specially with the wedges.

What worked:

I got much more flexibility, I felt that I gain yardage specially off the tee.

My shot path and plain felt much more consistent.

Things that didn't change:

I was not able to pull off shots that I did had on me from before.

It did not help me make better shot decisions, I still made pretty bad mistakes, I should have broken 80 on the later rounds, but I choose to "go for it" and failed miserably with shots I had no business trying.

My putting felt a little more sloppy than before.

I think the next part of this experiment is to get my self a home simulator, where I can get instant feedback on a controlled environment and I am able to try different shots.

I still found great value of this experiment.

Great experiment and analysis!  I admire your dedication to sticking with it for a month.  It's easy to skip a day when things come up and just say I'll get back to it tomorrow.  Well done!

I use the Skilz Gold Flex prior to each round I play after stretching and before any other warm up swings.  However, I only make 10 swings RH, then 10 swings LH.  I think my LH swings are actually better than my dominant RH swings, at least they feel better to me.  

I had a swing coach once that told me that swinging heavy clubs was not good for your swing.  His reasoning was that the heavy clubs alter your positions and swing path for a normal swing.  It sounded good at the time, but I feel like the benefits of range of motion outweigh any change in my swing.  Maybe if I had a very repeatable swing like pros, it might be true.  LOL.

I've never thought about making left handed swings, the only thing I do is the back swing, the left hand swing is something I am going to try later today.

I think the LH swings have actually helped my flexibility on the release.
