It was Monday which meant back to 'work' on my swing. I am still futzing around with some things and tweaking some other things - some things to my liking, others not so much.
Today, I made sure that the ball was further back in my stance as the clubs got higher (from driver to SW). I do not know how to explain it very well, but certain clubs have you place the ball at a certain point in your stance. The driver is off your front left heal, the 5-iron somewhere between your front left heal and the middle of your stance, the 9-iron is somewhere around the middle of your stance - even a sliver behind middle. My wedges I play all over the place - from front if I want to hit it high, to back if I want to come down steep on it.
I am still trying out different grips which makes for a lot of inconsistency. Half weak, half strong - vice versa - a little weak, a little strong, etc. Every grip brought with it a different result.
I wish I had something earth shattering to tell you, but I don't. It was just a ho-hum day of hitting balls which didn't leave me thinking I have gotten any closer to what I need to be doing. That is a little disheartening, but the one redeeming quality I can take from the session is that I know that I am striking the ball well with more consistently. I am seeing ball marks in the middle of the club face. That is a good thing.
After my bucket, I did the 10-ft / 20-ft PGA putting drill that I included a few posts ago (Day 55). The highest I got up to was 18. I hit the ball a little too hard and about 4 feet past the cup on the 19th putt which was the 10-footer - so upsetting - especially after having holed about 3 of those putts in earlier attempts. Nonetheless, it is a great drill that helps you with your touch.
