Ask anything you need to know mate. Golfbays.co.uk for the screen.

I’m probably going to do a wordpress page soon on the whole thing as I get asked loads online.

Thanks very much ??

Each to their own and I admire the dedication but for me, if I am working on my game I want to see the ball flight and how it reacts. On a long shot I want to see if it as on line and if not what side it missed on. If I am working on the short game or pitching I want to know about my distance control and how it spins and reacts. You can't really do that in a net or garage without a simulator and again, once you go down that road to get something reasonable (and accurate) just bumps the price up

See I disagree here Homer. I’f you’re making Actual swing changes, the flight/direction of the ball is literally irrelevant. You want to see progress in the swing initially

This is my back garden, I hardly ever hit any balls though!

 

[Ye Olde Boomer]

I don't practice. There are only so many swings left in this old body.

I respect that but in my opinion hitting a ball 5-10 yards with no feedback is irrelavant. Unless the contact is so poor (shank etc) then I don't see how you see how the changes you're trying to make are translating in terms of direction, distance, flight pattern and height

But seeing flight gives you 0 indication of a swing change... a camera showing your swing hitting into a net is the. Only way you can see if you’ve changed?

Your making a change because you want to get better. With your existing swing you will still hit shots that go perfect.

But you could argue that a camera behind you on the range and/or the practice ground is equally as good to compare the original swing to the new ones you are working on. I agree that the original swing may produce good results, but by hitting and seeing fuller shots will give more feedback on exactly how the shot went and you can compare things like distance and dispersion easier.

I always respect your point of view but on this subject I think we'll have to agree to disagree and we clearly have different views on indoor practice

Just to give another lowish cost option/view. I have one of those skypro things, there are a few of the swing path trackers around.
When on a full range, I'm guilty of caring to much where the ball is going. Hitting into a net I was able to focus on the moves/positions. Could do with the weather improving to dig it out again.

 

[MartynB]

I have a net and mat and use the excellent almost golf balls. Couldn’t risk shanking a real ball!
I think when you’re drilling Crossfield and others say strike doesn’t matter, it’s all about the feel and reps which is more cost effective to do at home.

I find that sometimes when trying to make a change to your action worrying about the ball flight can hinder your progress. This is when a net can useful

 

[USER1999]

I agree with not getting to fixated on ball flight. If it isn't what you want, it doesn't necessarily mean that what you are doing is wrong, it might just take time to bed in.

Great work, this looks like a cracking set up. Sadly I’d need to add on the cost of buying a house with a garage too!

 

[USER1999]

Just measured my garage, 9ft high exactly.

Ooh lucky. Mines 6 foot 8 at the high end ?

Thanks. It’s getting there.

You should see some on the skytrak fb forum. Some people have fully built rooms!

Best thing I can suggest before you start is to buy a cheap driver from sports direct and give it some good big swings. I reckon you’ll be fine though. I’m 6’2” and could probably cope with that.
