Hit a bucket yesterday after my round, aiming at flags and dialing in distances

I went to the range today to do some work since we had some rain moving into the area and I could hit from the covered bays and that is what I did. I worked on tempo and making a proper shoulder turn and weight transfer and simply relaxing and firing through the ball.
A couple things jumped out to me from my session-- when I lay off on a club I always catch it a tad thin because I come out of the swing(stand up a fraction)-- when I get handsy with the take away my arms go too far back this causes me to hit the high ball I dread-- I didn't use impact tape just a dirty club and I cleaned an area just barely bigger than a nickel with 10 balls my ball striking is almost phenomenal IMO-- driver still needs some work but its coming along
I also spoke with my coach about Sundays PB round, and swapping out shafts in 3wd and hybo. The conversations about my round was fun and he is quite happy that it happened and everything click so soon in the year and the talk turned to how he believes now more so than before I can get even lower than the 82 I posted.
Experiment
I also got to do a fun little experiment on the LM today as he had a fitting schedule and everything was set up so I hopped on the LM and hit 3 different Iron heads the Titleist CB, AP2 and AP1 all different shafts(xp95, s300) and different lengths I made 5 swings with each and my club head speed changed which effected ball speed, distance but the thing that stayed the same the numbers I was producing were optimal or less than 10% from being optimal based on the club head speed I produced. My coach cleared the data and left I grabbed the MB with X100 and standard length hit 3 balls and then AP2 with 110 recoil in X and once again I was posting darn near optimal numbers for the SS speed I was posting with each club.
Results
I create more SS with a heavier shaft 5mph difference between 95g and the heavier 110g-130g shafts. With out doing it intentionally I adjusted my swing speed for the different shafts weight and flex. I know it was a small sample size and different heads were attached to different shafts but the recoil just barely beat out the X100 in carry and total distance LA and spin rates were close(the X100 was 1/2in shorter)
Putting putting putting and more putting. I am determined to stop leaving strokes out on the course.
That's a great write up FF glad to hear the constant sweetspot contact, that's huge.
Will be hitting the range at lunch today. I need to work out blow up holes. How do you guys practice for that? Any good tips?

Where do you blowup holes come from? Mine mainly come from off of the tee, but others will have them come from taking way too many shots around the greens. Figure out what is the source of your blowup holes and go from there.

Figure out what is the source of your blowup holes and go from there. I'm working hard on my swing this year so that I don't have as many penalty shots off of the tee, playing my 3rd shot from the tee box is not fun at all.
Is lack of focus for a shot or two?
Not a perfect practice session, but a pretty good one!
After yesterday I will take it!
Worked on 7 iron and up.
This is my favorite way to practice. When I do this one of the 4 balls I usually hit is from a tweeter yardage. It forces me to think, and execute a difficult shot every hole.Hit the course for 12 holes of practice at my instructor's recommendation. He wanted me to hit 3 balls off each tee and then 4-5 approach shots, which is what I did. Sometimes I hit from where my drive(s) ended up and sometimes I dropped a ball or two to work on specific yardages/clubs. Hit all the short game shots that came up if I missed the green and putted all the balls. Was lucky that I had nobody in front/behind me, so no pressure to hurry or anything.
So glad he told me to do this and I'm going to do it once a week in place of a range session for the rest of the summer. Great change of pace and forced me to align myself, deal with different lies, etc. I was able to dial in some distances and work on shots that I'm not really that great at. Glad he worked on the fairway wood off the turf with me last lesson, because I saw massive improvement there over what I typically see. Productive day and I'm really enjoying golf right now.
One of my absolute favorite ways to practice hawkster
