With persistence and practice I was fine able to accomplish this at this point this was seven shots at the clock face. Still a little on the toe side , but better than before
@Brandon Wall Just thought of something... so where do you line up the ball before you swing.. in the middle... you could try lining it up on the heel.. just line it up a ball closer to heel to wherever you line it up at... I mean hypothetically speaking if you line the ball up on ball closer.. or step up one ball closer you should move it to center on the same swing...IDK... there was a time when I would line the ball up on the toe to hit center strikes and promote a more in to out swing... and it worked... so maybe just try putting the ball in different spots of the club face and doing the same swing
@Tom Saguto I see your point, ver valid... So would possibly making it an equipment issue just trying a quarter or half inch extension to see if that is a good solution then... Do it with one club for a test
@ryen91 You're the master fitter, so I'd defer to you in that regard LOL! If the clubs are already properly fitted, I would first be looking for address and swing clues that are causing off-center strikes prior to diving deeper into the equipment realm. In this particular situation he's so close to puring it that I wouldn't want to mess with it too much. I'd rather wait and see if he can dial it in towards a consistent center strike.
@Tom Saguto yeah definitely see your point.... From a fitter perspective.. he is hitting in the same spot everytime... Which is great... I mean 7 shots in a row is no fluke... And an unless there is just some small flaw in his swing that you could see through a V1 video analysis.. that put him that quarter to half inch over... I always prefer to fit the swing to the club instead of the club to the swing... And it just seems like maybe just 1 more degree upright or just a little more of an extension could fix the problem without him trying to get that swing fixed by half an inch one way or the other l, might be the best option
Either way I applaud you vastly, you have obviously taken to heart the Tom lesson plan and have improved drastically in order to do that..
Everyone was so helpful to me that I just want to attempt to return the favor every time that I can.
Brandon - looks pretty close to center. I am 6’ 5 and had clubs fitted for me. My former Wilson Staff Clubs (not fitted) put me in nightmare alley. A Pro can get you in clubs that bring big improvements. And, don’t forget grip sizing with the clubs. I have Nike Vapor Fly; Tiger had the Pro version (neither no longer manufactured). I am very happy with them.
@Brandon Wall I use foot spay to figure it out.. it is a really good cheap way to figure out where your hitting the ball.. A lot of people don't know this.. .looks like you do.
if your that consistent maybe try taking a club and having bent upright could get that into the center... or flat depending on how you hit... alot of times just tweaking the equipment a little can change your contact point
Disclaimer here. For today my wife was telling me about her day lol.
Ok 24 hours later. More center but not as tight. Still won’t complain. Not even about the one bad shot.
Looks great!

I’m 6’3 and they are bent up degrees already

Wow - talk about consistency....
Awesome progress, @Brandon Wall!! You just earned yourself a SagutoGolf Golden Ball!!
