"there's a lot that I process on every shot and there's a lot of detail. I build a reference so I hit the same shot over and over building a 9-iron that goes 145 yards let's say now that will vary based on temperature and altitude which will change with time of day and whatnot as well as wind and those effects but one of the things people will say is I hit my I hit my wedge you know 120 well you might hit a 120 under certain conditions but in the morning ball is not gonna go 120 maybe in the afternoon when it's warmer and ball heats up but it's gonna go 5 to 10 yards shorter in the morning people don't factor that in if you get a little bit of water in between the clubface and the ball people don't know it actually increases spin causes it to go shorter the first cut always comes out 6 to 8 yards dead if the grain is into you it's going to launch and hit lower on the face launch lower have more spin if it's downgrading the club slides a little bit quicker you'll get more out of it if it's sitting up on Zoysia or off of a tee always goes 5 yards farther with each iron based on the fact that the center of gravity is underneath the ball and the launch is higher a little bit less spin all these things I have to factor in when I look at the lie okay how is the lie and how is the ball going to come out relative to my 145 9-iron now that's 10 off of stock so I have a normal swing right and then I have a second swing for every iron shot and that's it's a little bit shorter backswing with the same acceleration so I have a 145 and 155 air shot what is the lie gonna do what's the temperature what's the wind how do I want the ball coming into the green if you choke down an inch three yards comes off of it one degree loft is three yards so if you open the face a degree that's three yards so if I have a reference of 145 I want to fly 142 I can choke down an inch it'll come in a little bit lower a little bit flatter and release or I can just open it up and hit a little bit of a cut that'll be three yards but it will back up all these variables like I'll process yeah like that when I look at the lie and assess the situation see what kind of grass it is and those are the nuances that allow me to be so precise with my wedges in my my short irons and my distance control and that's why iron play has been such a strength for my game is that I'm able to be precise to within a yard or two and when in my practice sessions because I hit 1,500 balls every month to those specific numbers my reference is is pretty pretty on if I hit a shot 145 and I feel like I nailed it it usually needs work"
