The scenario; a par 3, 160yds, played with a gentle following breeze. The flag sits at 145 yds, approx 5 yds on, and just over a bunker the size of a small country.
My 7 iron goes about 150yds, call it 155yds with the breeze.
The choice; drop to an 8 iron and risk the bunker, or stick with the 7 iron but go down the grip an inch taking about 5 yds off it?
The decision; hit the 7 iron to the safe part of the green, leading to a 2 putt par, maybe a 1 putt birdie.
The result;
the nice easy swing, with the 7 iron down breeze, pitches on the back fringe and finishes about 3 yds over in the semi rough. 182yds with a 7 iron...
The swing felt a little lazy, with the hands lagging too much, so I whipped them in, playing catch up. On contact I thought it might go 160yds but....179yds carry?!?
The question; how do I bottle that swing and use it for every shot?
