Short term goals: consistent swing bottom, hit the ball 30 yards further (improve my strength and speed), become a great lag putter, develop the confidence and quality of putting stroke where I feel like I can make every putt inside 8 feet, develop a 'go to' shot that never starts right and never moves left in the air, be able to hit high long irons when I need to, use a stronger grip with more body rotation and less clubface rotation in order to more consistently square up the face at impact. __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram). The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
