| Last I checked my swing it was at 94mph and I typically carry around 230-240, so I'm pretty close. This is why golf is such a great sport, always something to tweak. I've taken your advice and I went to the range and practiced purely pitching for 30 minutes. By the end of hte 30 minutes I was finding myself able to use backspin to drop and stop the ball very close to the flag which was about 50 yards away using a 60 degree Cleveland. Granted, that has so much loft that you don't really need a lot of backspin to stop the ball but it is working for me. I think I'll start trying to only use certain clubs from here on out when I hit the range. My usual progression is hitting 5 or so balls with the wedge, then 5 or so with a 6 iron, then 5 or so with a 4 iron, then clubbing the rest with my driver and hybrid club. Time to re-think that thanks to your advice -- and it does seem to help, but the real test will be after I play in a couple of weeks to see how it helps me overall. |
