russtopherb 5,322 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Can't buy a tee game. Maybe that's just recent frustration talking, but I just feel like I could have scored much better this year had I been able to consistently get off the tee. My iron play is vastly improved, but when you're hitting 3 off the tee on what feels like nearly every driver hole... it's frustrating. I don't want to give up on it because c'mon - biggest damn face out of any club in the bag. Just have to find those repeatable feels but I'm running out of time to do that this season. 6 Quote In my carry bag: D7 R flex GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* Smart Sole S #10 Twitter: @russtopherb Link to post Share on other sites

Just need to learn to relax and shrug the mistakes off. Crucial lesson IMO. I know too many people who’ll let one bad shot or one bad hole lead to more. Every shot is an independent event, has nothing to do with the preceding shot. You can have your best shot in a round after a bad one, IF you approach every shot that way. Took me years to learn, but it improves scoring (and enjoyment) considerably. These days I shrug off, even chuckle sometimes at bad shots. 5 Quote Callaway Rogue 10.5° @ 9.5°D & 3W Mizuno JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 Evnroll ER5B (replaced ER2) and 14th club - Mizuno CLK 3H 19° OR MP-20 HMB 3i 19° Snell MTB-X (replaced Black) Link to post Share on other sites

ejgaudette 577 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Trust the swing that works Self taught and for years played with the hands very far from the body, not quite single plane but close now that I know about these things. Always felt I should learn to swing "correctly", which I have tried for the last five years or so with no consistency. Finally just said own it and went back to the old motion and the consistency is up and scoring down. Just gotta remember that all winter. 4 1 Quote Follow My Super Speed Progress Here Cobra Speedzone Extreme 9° Mitshubishi Tensei AV Blue 65 Stiff Flex '07 Burner 15° Reax 50 Stiff Flex 816 H1 18° Fujikura Speeder HB 8.8 Stiff Flex 816 H1 21° Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 Stiff Flex I500 5 - UW Red Dot Dynamic Gold S300 CG16 56°/12 Stock Traction Steel Wedge Flex Tour Action 60° 2 Dot Stock Traction Steel Wedge Flex Karsten Series Anser Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Right Handed Link to post Share on other sites

Finally just said own it and went back to the old motion and the consistency is up and scoring down. Just gotta remember that all winter. This was a realization for me after a few rounds when things opened up again. During the shutdown I made the mistake of watching too many instructional videos and thought I should work on some of the improvements i watched. After all I updated just about my whole bag for 2020, why not update the swing too! Only having a net to hit into I did a lot of drills and net sessions to groove the adjustments. Maybe I'm too impatient but I really, really didn't like the way the results translated to the course & after about a month I decided to go back to my old swing that was grooved from almost 50 years of use. Ball striking results are much better and more consistent so this swing is what I will game until physical limitations make me change. To sum up my season so far and improve scoring my 5 word summary is.... Putting Still Needs Lotsa Work. 3 Quote Ping G410+ 9*, Accra TourZ X265 M5 Ping i20 17* & 23* hybrids, stock stiff shafts Mizuno JPX 919 HMP 4i, PX LZ 6.0 Mizuno JPX 900 Forged 5 - PW, PX LZ 6.0 Cleveland Tour Action 49*, 53*, 57*; PX LZ 6.5 (w/ some custom heel grinding) Ping Heppler Fetch Snell MTB Link to post Share on other sites
Kanoito 2,301 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Like where this is going! Had more time to practice and taking regular lessons with my pro definitely helped. Shot my personal best this year, during a few competitive rounds I was able to avoid blow-up holes, lowered my handicap 3 weeks in a row. Played a competitive round yesterday from the tips, I felt I played like s***, but the results showed I was just 2 strokes over my handicap. My wife on the other hand she started the season playing off 11 and I think she has shot over 100 2 months in a row... 4 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to post Share on other sites

So sounds like shots going OB versus a distance issue? The reason I ask is distance, or lack of it off the tee is what is/has really held me back this year. You know my solution is always throw clubs at it...ha So I suggest if you can find a good deal on the Titleist TS1, you give it a serious look. I know it seems you have a pretty good/forgiving driver in the D7, but I tried it and it just didn't work for me. I think they made it "light" without doing any counterbalancing and it really was like swinging a toothpick to me, I had no feel whatsoever of the club. The TS1 is really well done, I think that's one of the reasons it came out 9 months after the rest of the TS line, they just wanted to get it right. It's by far the straightest driver I've hit, even more so than the PING G410 SFT. It's not the longest, I hit the Cally Sub Zero longer, but the TS1 is far more accurate, it just goes dead straight, and it's launches much higher. In a perfect world, I'd be able to reduce the spin on it, somehow. But it just works. 2 Quote TS1 Fubuki 45g R Flex G410 FW 5, 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Phantom 5.5 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

That's the sort of thing that throwing money at clubs isn't going to cut it, it's more lessons and working on a repeatable driver swing. I put so much work into getting my irons to be more consistent that my driver went out of whack. I actually put an old R1 back in the bag, I completely agree on the D7 being too light, I can't feel where the clubhead is in the swing. The most "automatic" driver I ever had was a 910 D2 in a 12* head. Wasn't long, but it was STRAIGHT. I miss that club. 2 Quote In my carry bag: D7 R flex GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* Smart Sole S #10 Twitter: @russtopherb Link to post Share on other sites
