I think at the range playing of mats and playing shot after shot is very false and has little in common with a game for real. Ok it helps to try clubs, drills and work on technique but apart from that range work in my opinion puts you back.
I think we also expect perfect shots every time but in reality this is impossible based on the degree of error to striking the face / ball at the precise spot every time hence the need for extended sweet spots on clubs with more forgiving features.
Its a marvel most of us manage to hit the ball at all !!
I think my bad shots are probably 10% of a typical game, but still they may move in the right direction, real stinkers i.e topped, wrong distance and into water i would say 1%
As long as the ball is getting nearer the hole its not a bad shot
