It was a great few days at Wentworth as usual for the BMW Championship. With the previous event being Mallorca, which many of the top players missed, all three practice days were busy.
All the payers that I work with are playing this week, so what with my product support role for Yes! Golf, it was a busy week, in what is the biggest regular event of the season with the biggest prize fund.
On the Sunday prior I also met up with Ross Fisher for the first time. Ross has struggled on the greens this year and contacted me as a result, with the idea of putting a plan together to improve this aspect of his game.
We had a productive session which we followed up on over the practice days at Wentworth. Initially the main aspects thats we worked on were Ross's tempo and timing. Previously this had neagtively affected some technical aspects of his stroke. However with some training and an adjustment to his routine he was looking a lot better during the week. With his strong long game I believe he can figure this week and find the form of last year.
I also met up with Edoardo Molinari to do some work. We collected some data of his stroke on the SAM Puttlab and it was the best we have seen it. By his own admmission he has been putting particularly well of late, which was obviously backed up by the data.
My other players with whom I met and worked with included Ollie Fisher, Henrik Stenson, Mark Brown, Michael Hoey, Joost Luiten, Richard Finch and Rob Coles.
David Horsey was also playing, although he didnt need much time, as he was happy with things, which can be shown in his putting stats this year, where he is 5th in putts per round with 27.5 putts per round.
From a product perspective the new Yes! Mollie continues to be really popular with Ricardo Gonzalez, Maarten Lafeber and Graeme Storm takig and testing the putter.
So overall a good few days, hopefully one of our boys can do the business! Next event for me is the Celtic Manor Welsh Open first week of June. Look foward to bringing you some news from the Tour then!
