Subject: first 2 rounds with new 1Iron clubs

Sunday I warmed up with half swings without looking at the results. Played the round the same way, using only the 1Iron clubs (5,7 woods, 5-lw), half to 3/4 swings; looking for accuracy and feel of shots. Shot 85 with 5 3-putts(greens recently plugged and sanded, so all putts were iffy!). On a 470 yd par 5 I hit two 5 woods and the PW to 10 inches...Missed 4 shots badly with the lob wedge from about 50 yards. No feel for the full lw at all!!! My back didn't hurt either...

This morning I practiced for about 30 minutes with the half swing method; but alternated with 6, 8, 6, 5, 6 7wood, etc. Then played using my usual Taylormade Bubble II Driver. I'm still not trying for distance; half to 3/4 swing. Shot 81 with 4 three putts and bogies on 17 & 18 due to missed putts under 4 ft. (plugged and sanded greens). I use the single axis swing ala Graves Academy...Ok until I started thinking, then tended to come over the top while clearing my left side... Missed several shots that way; but seldom missed the green from 150 yd in.

Off tomorrow, but might practice a little to start looking for club yardage. I think I'll keep the soft swing no matter how far I hit a club. The 1Irons swing very nicely for me, and I can tell the difference between them and the Callaway and Ping clubs of my buddies..
