Had a lesson

[Tab373]

Had a 3 hour lesson today with Mark Cossfield which I really enjoyed. The bloke talks so much sense.i wouldn't say he cured my 8 deg out swing but when we finished it was between 0 and 1 deg out and still plenty practice to fine tune it. He told me about his fall out with Nike but that's all sorted now and told me more about his playing days and that he has gone to a standard g30 driver as the R15 spins to low on toe hits and he loses a ton of distance with a toe strike as the ball just falls out the air. I would highly recommend him.

What even happened with the Nike thing. Iv seen his reviews on the vapor range and he seemed to like some aspects. He didnt seem to make them out to be that bad.

Personally i find the fella insufferable but I am glad you enjoyed the lesson

I'd be happy with an 8° out swing if the face was 6° open.... lovely little draw.

If your path is close to zero then you'd better pray that you can control the face! Closed and it's hooksville, open and you're in slice city.

Hopefully will put the data up later and had lots of data to remember but 1st swing was 8.3 out then approx 1.4 which works out 6.9 open I think, I was hitting a baby draw when I finished and the odd cut but it not gonna change over night

Do post up the figures Tab and some more detail of how the lesson went.

Did he say 'lets get stuck in'?

He basically can't get as much distance out of them as he can the other new premium divers. He was at times 15 yards short with them. So Nike threw their toys out of the pram with him. He never said they were bad, just that for some reason he can't hit them as far as others, which he has shown several times on his stats.

Sounds great, very jealous.

And good to see he's gone back to a Ping driver. Kind of makes me happy as there's all the sliding weights, gravity core etc etc in a lot of new drivers. But someone who tests the lot has decided that a properly engineered club without the bells and whistles you can fiddle with (and that the manufacturers charge you for) gives you the best combination between forgiveness and distance.

Look forward to the full report

Knew you would post this

OP- Were you consistent with the path? If so, I'm surprised that face control wasn't the feature of the lesson.

Did he get you to do the "Lockey Flick"?

 

[virtuocity]

Oh wait, you were out-to-in, not 'swinging out'. That makes sense. Carry on

 

[Tab373]

Lockey flick yes or casting as I call it

 

[garyinderry]

What was the path? I am reading it as in to out.

How did he go about getting you to change?

Will the lesson be on youtube ?

 

[Tab373]

I don't think so. Currently having problems viewing the data but hope to get it soon

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Glad you enjoyed it and he managed to sort you out. Be interested to see the data as and when. I think I'd struggle for a three hour lesson though with information overload and fatigue
