Took an hour out of work to go hit some balls in the sunshine.
Hitting the Mid-irons and wedges really well. Hit about 10-15 with the 5i, not good. Just awful contact, going straight enough but no distance. Felt like I was fatting them, probably not getting by weight forward.
It's odd. I seem to do that a lot with the longer irons and my woods. Don't know why, my swing also gets a bit quick instead of nice and smooth, which probably doesn't help me get my weight forward.
As the irons were going on I hit some drives too. First few ok, but fading and lacking a bit of distance. Arms were coming into it too much and not releasing, getting the old chicken wing follow through.
Hit some dead arm wedge shots to get the feel of a no arm swing, then hit some more drivers. Yep, that worked.
I just really struggle to swing with my body with the bigger clubs. Wedges, short irons - Fine, but as soon as you put a big club in my hands it's grip it and rip it. And everything turns right.
Playing in the morning, might get up there 30 mins early and hit some balls on the range to get the driver going.
Really looking forward to it. Looks like it's going to be a nice day for a change.
