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.

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.

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-)

    • 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.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • 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.
