Hitting into a net helps my tempo

[inthecup]

I got a great golf net.  When my tempo gets fast it really helps me to hit into a net.  There is no ball flight or distance to worry about.  The only thing I am looking for is pure contact.  I invariably slow down to get the pure contact I am looking for.  It is counter-intuitive but it works for me.

Most "swing mechanic" fanatics will disagree with me, but I'm a believer in hitting lots and lots of golf balls to improve.  I've had lessons that never helped; the only time I've ever noticed an appreciable change in my game is after hitting thousands of balls into a net and on the range.

My opinion:  Hitting into a net gives no feedback except contact, BUT, if you are really really good at contact, you can experiment much more easily with different swings at the range.

Just my 2 cents.
