Sh**ks and breakin 80!!
Well Folks,
i wrote a post about a week ago saying how i went to the range with my brand new Mizuno MP 67's to have them loft and lyed and sha**ed nearly a full basket of balls. Well i dont know whether this will help anyone if they get the dreaded "Sceptic Tanks" but about 4 years ago i had some Ping G5 irons and i started to inexplicably Sh**k every shot with them and when my teacher had a look at me he told me that i was trying to hit my irons like my Driver (stance to wide and back swing way too long) and told me a great drill to cure them is to use your Wedge and keeping your legs together, hit 3/4 shots and hit about 30 balls. Then using a mid iron do the same thing but this time hit the balls off a tee. then try it off the floor and see how it goes. Anyway, it worked for me then and it has worked again for me now! To cut a long story short, this is the first time ive actually played on my course with my new irons and despite horribley windy weather ive just equalled my Personal Best and shot a 78!! Im so chuffed! I have to say the irons felt a total dream to use and they look sooo sexy to boot lol. Anyway,Im going to South West of Scotland tomorrow for a week to hopefully get a couple of games in and if the wife lets me even try to get a game at Southerness soooo Watch this space!
