Well, I went back down to the range tonight and hit 150 balls off the grass tees they have down there that are rarely used. So that meant that most shots were off lies you'd expect in the light rough or a badly cared for fairway!
I can report that it made more of a difference off grass more than on the mats, and I could feel my hands powering the ball through as I hit rather than buckling or the clubface twisting on less than perfect contact. It really made my swing feel faster too, and this was borne out by those extra yards on my irons still being there.
I also risked trying a few shots with the 56* Vokey off the grass again and it was a real improvement - I was still thinning a few (well, I *am* a 22 handicapper!) but I was hitting it out to about 95 yards (way longer than normal for me) and making much better contact.
What was most pleasing of all was the consistency in the divots I was leaving - 95% of them started after contact - and the amount of backspin I was getting on the balls, which is something I've never done.
WBL - try it and let us know how it goes! I'm out for another round with Greydawg next weekend so will report back on how that goes...
