Another couple of thousand balls, these sessions with domina MB. Today, finally got one to fly properly. Kinda flew out and up and maintained that trajectory, neither ballooning up or dropping back down like a rainbow. Got to that 30 meter or so height way down there, and then softly (seemingly) dropped back to earth.
I've now achieved that flight (once, but hey), and have experienced the feel of that strike. Now to make it repeatable. The unexpected side-effect is that all of a sudden, having to hit it 190 or more isn't intimidating anymore. The fear of long par 3s and 4s has morphed into a challenge. Excited to try them now, instead of worrying about how long the par 3s are.
Still, there's lots more work with MB on consistency and directional control. Probably also need to get stronger as well to bring all that mass around and through the strike properly, without that cheating slide learned as a kid.
Did do a quick downshift test of the Ping 4 iron, and yes, what I've learned with the MB translates to the shorter clubs. Theory is working :-)
Time to maybe fiddle with the driver now.
