My pattern on my 7 iron is getting smaller. No more toe hits. 1 bad shank that almost took out my kitchen window. (missed the net entirely. Moved my head down.) 2.5 hours of practice tonight. I started with 15-20 2.8 drill shots. Then went to more of a full swing and ended with another round of 2.8 drill shots. I made myself hit 10 clean 2.8 drill shots at the beginning and ended with 10 clean 2.8 drill shots into the net. I'm starting to think maybe I just need to hit with a 3/4 backswing. As long as I just do a 3/4 backswing I hit the club face farely clean and it feels sooo goood! "CRISPY"! My Mizuno's never felt so good. Very buttery and I hardly even feel like I hit anything.
I just wish I could get the shot vision app to work when it's night time under my carport. Tonight I tried and I was only getting about 48 yards of carry with my 7 iron. This was screwing up my 153.5 carry average so I just shut it off and did work without it. (My average before I started Chapter was probably more like 138-140Yards carry.) I just don't think there is enough light at night for Shot Vision to pick up the ball. I think I'm going to have to break down and get a doppler launch monitor. My V1 videos look better too. I just hate looking at my fat dad bod trying to hit golf balls.😚
@mst_hokie & @MarkG in NH - Y'all are only saying 3/4 because you're accustomed to seeing parallel in the shift & lift swing. Sure, if you disconnect your arms and lift the club independently with your hands and arms you can take it to parallel, but where is the power in that, and beyond that you can kiss any hope of consistency goodbye.
Going forward, make 3/4 the new "parallel". Think about it - you can either go high or you can go deep in the backswing, with the clubhead traveling approximately the same distance from the ball in both case. The differences are that when you are deep: 1) You don't have to search for that "slot" to drop it into because you're already there, and 2) You are harnessing the effortless power source called Angular Momentum. (Think about why all football placekickers today approach the ball side-on, whereas years ago nearly 100% of them kicked straight on. The reason? Angular Momentum. 50+ yard field goals where a rarity back then; now they’ve become quite routine. This tremendous power generator, sourced from where physics and geometry collide, is the real deal!
Yes. "3/4 is the new parallel." Let's add that to the growing list of SagutoGolf slogans.... 🤣
