Great day at the range today. 220ish balls, almost 3 hours, and basically nobody around. MGC is an excellent range, with plenty of targets, wide hitting areas with plush grass. I pretty much set up shop. That ends a week where I hit balls 6 of 7 nights for at least 45 mins each night. Big impact on consistency. And no pain.

Worked on lagging the club even more than usual and trying to stay over the ball with no sway. When I did, the feeling was so crisp, great flight and good distance. Hard to say exact distances though, but 8i 155-160, 7i 170-175. I worked on short wedge shots to 65 yards with 60d, and 100 wth 54d, and an arm swing. Really focused on the lag.

The draw/hook was around when I released too soon (thx Corey for tip). But when I stayed centered, held the lag, the shots were pure. I’m hitting it solid in the center 75% of the time now. Strongest shots are when I lag and really compress.

New Driver setup resulted in a couple 260yrd drives. Moved closer, feel the arms hanging nicely, club slightly angled back. Then squared up hips, shoulders, turn back with shoulders, drop the elbow close with hip turn and lag it. First time I’ve really tried it with Driver, it’s a weird feeling but it works,

Next time: hold onto the lag from the beginning of the session and focus on downswing plane, dropping the club in the slot, staying centered, keep foot on the ground, and just keep moving through.
