Plan of attack and what is yours for this season?

Actually, Russel your right on there. The Zipcore is 54 and Lob is 58. My old G25's lob was 56 and couldn't' figure out why I lost distance with the 425's on my lob, till I realized the different in loft on new one. Which is why got the Zipcore. And early results are good and totally pleased with the Stopping and spin power of Pro V 1.

Thanks for feedback.

This is a good point. The pre-shot routine and setup are the only aspects that we have 100% control of during a shot. Once the swing starts, we are taught not to control anything. The reason this is good advice is because of the delay in our nervous system’s detection and response to a stimulus. As Tom (and others) have said before, “You have to give up control to gain control.” So, it makes sense to pay close attention to the grip and set-up that you have control of and then abandon control once you pull the trigger.

I think I’m going to add this to my focus going forward.

Holy cow!! I went to the "ball flight fix" and saw many things that point at exactly to what you are pointing out. I never once even opened these lessons. Didn't need to in my mind.

Thank you, Steven. Now I have several things to ponder and look at the next time I go to the range. This is why I love the Saguto golf stuff and the people here. The first place I go to each and every morning. Can't even express my excitement to have the knowledge at my fingertips that will make me a better player. I know I can do it because I have.

My 2nd year here, wish I found Saguto Academy sooner.

But yes it is a gold mine here. I have been playing for a long time but really the last few years the most serious since High School but did play before my previous 3 year kind of break.

I am a bit more of a foundation builder here. I did scrap all the old swing stuff and somewhat started over last season. I have only went through a minuscule of some of the stuff and build as I go and get things incorporated.

Like if you were building a house, you don't do the foundation after you frame it and start doing the inside.

I think you said you are fairly new golfer, so I am taking it you never played in a competitive atmosphere?

You are excited as I am for the MBWA. But if this first go around at playing competitively, make sure you focus on having a great time and play smart golf. Unknown courses and playing with others you never met is all part of the mix. That is why having a routine and stuff ingrained is huge. Like @burkholder.ronald stated the setup we control, the rest is muscle memory! And we want both. I can tell you from playing competitively in HS and the last 3 to 10 years when the heat is on the more you have a routine and muscle memory the better you are going to perform.

And when you get to the point where you have those days you are firing on all cylinders you can then stretch the limits a bit.

Remember scoring in this game is150-100 yards in and as the old saying goes "you drive for show and putt for dough". You are only hitting off the tee 18 times. And if you do the regulation of 2 putts on every green that's 54 strokes right there. So short game and putting is the difference in this game once you get striking the ball on a more consistent basis.

Keep us informed as I glean from everyone's post,

Blessings
