The Range

Been hitting the range a lot because that's what you do.   I went last night and worked the weight on that inside foot.  Things started out well and went south - what was surprising is I was able to reign it back in which doesn't  happen very often.  I started topping the ball and slicing and all kinds of crap but pulled it in to finish well.  Swing thoughts that helped:
- Weight on inside right foot
- Loose arms and hands
- Rotate full back to target - almost pushing off right inside foot to unwind the body on the downswing.

Started to feel that constricted backswing/akward feeling at the top I'd been having.  Re-focused in on that big turn and the weight and that feeling went away quickly.  I think it's 95% mental too.

Also focused on how far I'm hitting at the moment.  I know my 8 iron is pretty consistant at 120 - 7 iron was just over 130 - couple strong hits sent it a bit further but I'd say that's right on.  Six is in the 140's and that 5 hybrid is really 155.  Played from the fairway to the green at just over 150 with that this week and it rolled to the back of the green - nice GIR on a par 4.  Happy with that and four hybrid is playing considerably longer - 170+

No lesson this week - will play a big course and see what she has to say next week!  Screen shot from a slow motion video Kevin took of me.  That weight is so hard and that's what I've been thinking about!  AUGH!  The shot was good though so that's all that really matters :)
