About a 25-30 yard swing. First swing felt clunky with the fourth ball, second swing felt better. With the third swing the fourth ball went way left  No change in pitching technique, just made sure to keep turning through the shot.

Well that's MUCH more professional looking. :-$

For some reason YouTube doesn't want to process this...here's a VIMEO. Got 3 (2 got up, 1 was basically bladed) on the first pass and got all 4 on the second and third attempt. There was plenty of

Here's the dispersion of my balls, I'll add the video in a second once it's finished uploading (I only did two attempts).

The first seven of the balls

The last ball

Edit: I apologize in advance for the poor focus. My phone apparently decided the leaves were more important than me (I had to use my shag bag as a makeshift stand to lean it against).

I have of suggestion for those of you/us that haven't filmed yet: use something a little closer to a DTL view so we can see how the balls travel.

I was going to say, that's what I plan. The mirth will show up more that way. :-D

If I had to guess, I would say I was averaging about 30* :bugout: of dispersion. As you would expect the 3rd and 4th balls were yanked pretty far left. :-$

So Barney went with the my patented SexxyKnees™ move and got all four and Shindig eschewed the sexiness and only got three. Just sayin' ;-)

Not only am I insanely jealous that you can go golfing in December but you also get help from Mike while golfing in December.

Can't wait to get a round in in Dominican after Christmas!

Might have to sneak out to the simulator today.

Sadly, I don't think I deserve any credit for "getting" all four, because they were not hit well.  At least one of them was bladed along the ground.  We did this on the tenth tee while waiting for the fairway to clear, and I managed to lose one of the four balls in a bush. :doh:

Not only am I insanely jealous that you can go golfing in December but you also get help from Mike while golfing in December.

Yeah, not gonna lie ... it's nice.  It's not like a playing lesson or anything - that would be kinda rude to Mike to make him work too ;) - but it's fun to watch a "pro" :-P at work closeup.

He didn't. He has a stunt double for that. Mike's too busy practicing two things:

  • His golf swing.
  • His lifting of heavy objects while breathing in ever-amusing ways.

Is it a golem? Why doesn't he get the golem to lift all the heavy stuff? That's essentially what golems are for.

I seriously don't mind that stuff, especially with guys that actually listen.

CGI actually. Never left the house yesterday.

Ok, here is my attempt at this. I forgot to allow a little bit of space between the balls, so the results are "interesting". :-P

BTW, I think this challenge needs to come with a public disclaimer/ health warning if attempted off an indoors mat...............

Lol! No worse than my attempt! I will say, though, that pitching two balls that are "kissing" is the first "trick shot" that I ever learned. As you just found out, the back ball will go nearly vertical and you can then catch it in your shirt pocket.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      Hybrids

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
