This is more of a muse than anything, but for some reason I simply cannot hit off a range mat as well as off my home net set up. Usually, I have a better round if I do not warm up first.  The mat I use at home is not really much different than the commercial ones other than the commercial ones feel a bit more bouncy.  Its not just the mat, but at home I can tell the difference between good clean hits and not so good.  I don't know, should probably just forego range practice all together.

What's your home setup?

On a related note, I really need to update my home setup thread with how it turned out.

oh, pretty normal set up with net hung on PVC frame, suspended vinyl target, hitting from mat(s) about ten feet away. Net shown is older version, but current nearly identical after artificial turf was laid in.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.

      Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
