Thanks for the interest, didn't know if you guys cared or not
. I've had a lot of progress since my last post, but it's been a little different than one would expect.
I never got on Trackman. The one I know of in Charlotte is indoors and while the simulator is great I need to see the target, the ballflight, and THEN the numbers to make any sense of it.
So after a couple months of tinkering and having sporadic results, I read an article in Golf Digest about Bubba Watson:
Little Bubba, Big Bubba: Golf Digest Magazine. I have ADD like Bubba (probably) does, and the part of the article about how he swings and only thinks about ballflight and not about his swing spoke to me.
So the day after reading this, I went to the range and hit balls working on something or another (can't remember really). After a bucket, I decided to have some fun and try and hit different shots thinking only of the ballflight I wanted to hit. I didn't think of my swing or the D-Plane or any of that; I just tried to feel how the ball was coming off the clubface.
I hit it great. I took it out to the course a day or two later and shot 67 I think. Never looked back from there.
Now, I do have a few swing feels that I have to keep an eye on, as I'm sure Bubba probably does too. I'm mainly just playing a stock fade, but can move it some if I want to. But I try to hit this same ballflight most of the time; I'm not like Bubba and trying to hit dramatic hooks and fades. I like hitting fairways and greens taking what the course gives me and my fade.
The change in scores and stats has been dramatic, to say the least. I've had some great finishes in tournaments and have made ball striking a strength rather than a weakness.
Any other questions you guys have or if you want me to elaborate more don't hesitate to ask
.
