Shouldn't someone mention the speed of his swing in relation to type of ball used? I asked someone what makes a "lady" ball different. They told me swing speed and added that if someone with a high speed swing hit the low compression ball it wouldn't go as far because they would simply compress it too much. I've found that its mostly mental for me. There are times when I can barely hit a 5 iron 150 and times when I fly a 6 iron over the green at 155 out. What I found out is that when I tell my mind that I have to hit it 155, it usually gets there and sometimes even further. What I found out is that when I say to myself that I am going to hit this 8 iron 150, it automatically sends a message from my brain to my body and I usually turn more and swing faster. Which means I need to do this on a regular basis. But, what happens is I will be on the range... nail my pitching wedge 100 even, which is really all I want to be able to hit it since these shots are very common for me during a round. I always say that if I can get it to the 100 yard mark on the approach, I'm fine. I now think this is screwing me up a bit and I should hit the pitching wedge as far as I can and learn how to hit my sand wedge, approach wedge (52 degree) for those 80 to 110 yard shots. Psychologically I'm setting myself up for failure when I fail to make adjustments as I improve. 5 iron at 150 is not longer my choice. It should be a 7 iron and I should start forcing myself to hit it that far under optimum conditions. Or am I just sleepy and not making sense anymore? Its more psychological for me today and when I use the right techniques it flies. My
clubs, the RAC HT's are not designed for high speed swings and it makes sense because when I swing nice and easy, they go high and just as far! It was amazing when I first discovered that trick. I was thinking, hey why is it going the same distance when I am barely swinging? Technology of the swinging stick plus ball= distance.
