Went to the course to practice this afternoon. I started working on making sure that my left foot was planted on the downswing, and letting my hips turn in the backswing rather than restricting them, as I did last year.
Just by planting that lead foot, and preventing it from spinning out on the follow through, I was able to anchor myself to the ground to the extent that I was picking up 12-15 yards of carry on my irons. I usually fly my SW 85-90, and today was flying it from 100-102. Eight iron was carrying 148-152 when it normally flies about 135.
