Hit the range today. Still working on consistency. Had a little trouble with ball striking with irons - thin shots, and hitting behind the ball. Old habits creeping into the swing when I get a little tired. Too much hip movement in the back swing sometimes and sometimes, not shifting the weight forward and hitting through the ball enough. It is a vast improvement though now I feel more in tune with my swing and understand when things go wrong, why they went wrong.
Whipped out the driver and still working on consistency there as well but when I take my time and go through a good process, I can hit them relatively straight. Top tracer had th best shot at 225 carry and 250 total. When I make good contact, 215-220 seems to be the carry distance.I realize a lot of people hit it much farther but pretty momentous for me. Need to keep practicing for consistency. Will have more lessons coming up in the next few weeks as well.
One thing I did notice - my used clubs, as much as I love the value, I think definitely need to be re-gripped. I've realized one of the bad habits I have is the death grip but when I don't, the club slips in my hands sometimes. A couple swings were really bad where the club would rotate a tiny bit at impact and send the ball way right. I'll likely take them to a shop and get them all regripped from wedges to driver with the same grip.
