Was slow at work today. Hit roughly a bucket of balls left handed with a 7 iron. Getting my swing down to where it isn't uncomfortable as all hell lol.

By the end my swing speed was in the mid 60s going about 110 and no more than 10 yards offline. Was pretty happy with that. No where near where I want (right hand swing speed with a 7 is about 87ish for 175) but for the first full day of lefty, I'm happy.

Honestly, I have no real reason for it other than I wanted to learn. I've wanted to for awhile and then this opportunity arose...

I won a free set of custom fit G25 Irons for selling the most Ping products out of all Golfsmiths in our zone (its like 50ish stores) for the months of June and July and I just got fit for them today. I love my Cobra S2s and didn't want to give them up so I got the G25s fit for me left handed. Going to start playing lefty the next few months so all updates will most likely be off of that.

EDIT/PS: Going to pick up a used lefty putter and driver this week too from work. The iron set came 3-pitch plus 2 wedges of my choice (went with a 54 that I bent to 55 because Ping wouldn't and a 60) so all I need is a driver and a putter because I don't hit fairway woods.


And I was like fuck it, free set of irons that I don't need, let's go lefty.

I can swing a baseball bat left much much better than I can switch in golf.

I am content with that.

Oh I wasnt sure if it was for a reason like when you get into a bad situation and can only get at the ball left handed

Yeah, no real reason other than a pure want. I'm going to play a round on Saturday full lefty, no driver yet so going to be a bit worse than it should be since I won't have anything to hit off the tee with (considering just hitting righty off the tee and then lefty the rest of the way).

Played a full round this morning left handed, no driver.

Shot a 107, I was so fucking stoked I was under 110. I was thinking 120 minimum lol. I only started this like a week ago so pretty happy with those results. Had 2 sand shots, one took me 3 tries to get out, the other took me 4, that was a killer and amounted to 5 extra strokes and then I hit I believe 5 or 6 balls out of bounds. That plus the fact that my longest club was a 3 iron for every tee shot, I was even more thrilled when all was said and done.

Even when/if I go back to right handed, I am putting lefty for ever now. The feel was just so much better for me. I've never putt like that before in my life. I 3 putted one time, 2 putted 5 times and 1 putt the rest, I just have a better feel for it lefty.

About to play a rather easy course this morning, but it feels great outside (70 degrees) should be a good day.
