Agreed , the mats of winter get me playing everything nearer low point to take the down out of the strike.........I dont do this intentionally it just happens. And wrecks my impact geometry when I get back on grass for all but shots normally positioned there. It doesnt sound like a big thing but it can be. Say you do play things back in your stance .....you cant go all the way down as you normally would so you start coming up out of it a bit to lessen the blow protect your wrist. I bought some super thick stuff to hit off but it didnt seem to help when I hit the south in March. Id be interested in any suggestions people might have to remedy this.......I quite honestly asked the local golf dome owner if I could bring in rolls of bent grass to hit off.... His answer: "Well , thats stupid". Which it probably is. What Id give for nice grass in winter. O.B.Left View Public Profile Send a private message to O.B.Left Find all posts by O.B.Left
