Rod Pampling may have stumbled upon the key to turning around his mediocre form on the US PGA Tour.
After missing the cut at the Players Championship two weeks ago, Pampling returned to his American home in suburban Dallas.
Puzzled after another poor performance, the Queenslander brought out an old set of irons to hit on the range, more out of curiosity than expectation.

The improvement, he says, was emphatic and immediate.
"I had been scratching my head wondering why my iron play had been hurting but suddenly I was able to hit the shots I used to hit," an enthusiastic Pampling said as he prepared for the Byron Nelson Championship starting in Irving, Texas on Thursday.
"I haven't been hitting it like this for quite a while, so I'm excited to be playing again.
"I've gone back to blades and Im using my old shafts, which are a lot stiffer than the ones I've been using the past couple of years.
"They don't make these shafts any more, so when I need to replace them I might have to go looking on eBay."
Pampling, 40, describes his form the past couple of years as hit or miss. He has had his moments, including victory at the 2008 Australian Masters, but has struggled as often as not.
He is a lowly 162nd on this year's US PGA money list, but there have been extenuating circumstances, besides the equipment problem.
He made two quick trips back to Queensland in March - the first to visit his gravely ill father-in-law and the second for the funeral.
It was obviously a tough time for Pampling, and even more so for wife Angela, and golf for a while was not his top priority.
"It's something you have to deal with," said Pampling, who is now trying to focus on his game again.
This week at least he won't have to return to a hotel at the end of the day. Instead, he can enjoy the rare luxury of being able to sleep in his own bed.
Pampling is part of a large 16-strong Australian contingent at the Four Seasons TPC that is notably missing Adam Scott, taking a well-earned break after his Texas Open victory on Sunday.
