Though I've done this on camera a few times (we have five hit at once on camera as well, some have seen it, and it's going in a video we have coming in the next week or so), here's my first attempt. And only attempt, as it turns out, since my second attempt nailed the big heating unit above the teaching bay.

I caught the last ball thin but I was hitting it off the tightest of lies - the center portion of the mat doesn't give much at all. It's equivalent to pitching from the super-firm fairways in Scotland and not at all lush. I included a still frame at the end that shows this; I hadn't realized the camera was aimed so high on my iPhone. You'll have to take my word for it, but I think I've earned the trust of most. :D

More mirth would have likely ensued given the results of the second shot, in which all four balls were launched with very good trajectories… but it's loud as heck and having achieved success the first time around, I didn't see the need to include it. Sorry! :)

Still processing but will be updated soon.

The lead in graphics are a refreshing change from Dave trying to scare the living shit out of everyone in my office. :-P

Bah. Didn't intend for the black screen at the end. Oh well.

Here are my pathetic attempts. The second attempt was the least bad.

Lihu, it's PITCH four balls at once, not CHIP!! That said, kudos for the attempt and the DTL view so we could see the results. Mine was only marginally better.

Ohhh, very Christmas-y intro! :dance:


HOT DAMN!

Not only does Dave get all the balls everytime, but look at how tight of a grouping they land in. Outstanding!

I'll get out to the short game area of a local course tomorrow evening if I can to try and see how many balls I can pitch in one swing.

Mirth'd.

1st take got three balls clean. 2nd take I moved the balls back in my stance with atrocious results. 3rd take I moved them all forward, with the first ball in the spot I'd normally play a pitch. That worked, so I went for five B-)
