Hit about four thousand balls now. Was feeling a bit plateau'd, so took a few days off. Went back to Jackie Burke to grok the light grip and tossing the club feel. In parallel, surrendered the internal control freak that makes me want to tighten up and control the clubhead to hit the ball (that is, afraid to miss). Faith makes the grips stickier :-).
Went back today and the strike had a new feel and flight. T'was super awesome. Got another 8-10 yards on the sand and pitching wedge with what seems easier swing. Flies high (maybe too high). Still casting the first few swings, so need to work on getting the fatties out from the get go.
I'm lasering targets about a third of way into the sesh. Use it up front, then the ego starts hitting for distance. By waiting, then I can see how things are naturally flying without knowing or trying. Better that way for me.
Nice hits on the face. Dirt's a little crooked, but probably closing the face a bit on strike. Divots are a bit toe heavy as well. Won't worry about making more lie adjustments til later. Amazing what I've learned on the net (that dirt line & divot thing from Phil Rogers, thanks to Elk).
Finally, today had the first itch to try a round...
