One side effect of hitting lots of balls with my new driver, was that my iron shots suddenly became really poor. I wasn’t even hitting solid shots with sand wedge. I have two ideas about why this happened: 1) With the driver, I focussed on hitting the ball on the upswing off the tee. This [...]
After taking the TaylorMade R5 out onto the range twice, I’m growing even more fond of it. Initially, I was hitting some giant fades, unlike the straight shots on the launch monitor. After check my fundamentals, I realized that I was cupping my left wrist on the backswing. After realizing this and keeping it flat [...]

Today was my first time touching a club in over a week, having just returned from a business trip. Went to Summit Point in Milpitas. Have to remember in the future that on this range, the sun is in your eyes in the mornings. Hit a bucket of balls with Sand Wedge through 4 Hybrid. [...]
