Oh with the ball. I thought you meant with his club or something.

There's no shot I'd trust myself moving the mat that far back at that range lol. I know you did it for the video though. Even though I'm sure it's totally fine with a mid iron. I've had buddies hit the ceiling there with a wedge when the mats are in their normal spot let alone moved that far back.

Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Tons of people have hit the ceiling. I'm sure you've seen there are actually holes. 🤣

Here I am hitting a P-wedge. If you look closely at the top of the frame you can see some of the holes that folks have made. I will say most of those are created by folks hitting the crown of their drivers or fairway woods. 

This is my stock P-wedge shot. 

Here's the caddie-view on my stock P-wedge shot. @klineka Even my stock P-wedge misses the ceiling with the mat pulled back for filming. SW .... would be a different story. 🤣

Okay, this video came out a little wonky. 
It was early this morning, overcast, so the light was kinda bad. It was also real darn cold. I posting this as a "Here's where I am" kind of thing. Not where I plan to end up. 

 

Here's the down the line view... same thing as above. This is where I am, not where I want to be.

Let's not let the pelvis go toward the ball so much. Should still feel like it's pushing in the direction of the yellow arrow, not the red.

    • Yea, I’ve kinda of been off the sugar hate train for a while.

    • Day 111 - 2025-01-19 Got to GE particularly early today, before Junior Elite, and hit some balls before that. My left thumb was sore like it was about a month ago, which was odd. It feels better now as I type this up nearly 12 hours later, but it was sore last night and still this morning.
    • Day 260 (19 Jan 25) - Woke to misty rain and was thinking that I would be limited to inside work today.  Late afternoon break in the weather (mild temps and a few rays of sunshine) led to a 15 mins or so of hitting the 58deg wedge around the backyard at 10-20yds.  Simple drill goal - "don't get flippy" but rather rotate smoothly through.  This was key as I tend to want to help higher lofted wedges 58/60 - today was solidly on the smoother side of execution.  
    • I'm inclined to agree - I used to putt with a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and to aim it straight, it had to look like it was about a foot right from 10 feet. I switched to a mallet (Odyssey Eleven I have now) and I can aim that far more easily. What looks straight is straight. I did watch a video with a coach on youtube who was suggesting that your eye position relative to the ball affects where you think the putter is aimed. So he would line up the putter for a player, then have them move around until it looked like the putter was aimed at the target and then that would be where he had them set up to it. I suspect that people move where they stand over time and that might cause the aiming of the putter to change over time.  Funny thing is I asked Sam Hahn a very similar question myself in September and he gave quite a different response to this. LAB offers more alignment line options than any putter manufacturer I have ever seen (I guess outside of a handful of bespoke artisanal type places) - I wonder why they do that if the alignment lines don't make much of a difference.
