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.😚
Nice work, @mst_hokie!!
By the way, remember that by taking our hands in deep with this swing there is no need to try to get to "parallel", and efforts to do so typically cause breakdowns in the swing. In other words, that 3/4 backswing you are speaking of may very well represent your body's natural stopping point. If so, let it be. The depth you are creating harness the tremendous power source of angular momentum. It works quite well for Jon Rahm, and Tony Finau - another bomber - takes it back even less than that!
