HOW MANY ON AVERAGE

I usually get a bucket of 60 balls. Start off hitting a mid iron and work my way up to the driver hitting 5 or 6 balls with each club. Then finish off with a few wedge shots.
 
Usually 100, start with a few to warm up, then replay the last round and finish with whatever shot or club I feel needs most work- usually the driver -getting back spin on 300yd shots is so tricky ;) ;)
 
Last time was 120 balls in about twenty minutes - hit them like a machine on automated tees, all drivers then got bored wondered why the hell i was there and what the point was and went home.
Bratty - a minute a ball??, you'd have thought it would have paid off by now.........
To be honest, having seen your driving last week, you should be spending a minute a ball!!! ;)

Unless you buy the 910 of course - only one you hit well all round! ;)
 
70 for me, Hit 10 wedges at the green to get warmed up. Then 50 for whatever am working on, and finish with the wedge. Like to go home finishing with some nice strikes, good for morale :D
 
100 on a general visit, anymore and I tend to blister, but a small basket 0f 30 prior to the weekend comps, on my way to the club.
 
usually 50 or 60 in a normal session, though tend to hit a lot more if ive changed something from a lesson. Last night prob hit 200ish plus in a hours lesson and then another 3 hours or so
 
only ever hit 50 at the range partly the cost, partly boredom, and partly because any more and I get complacent. On the practice are with pitching green I will normally hit 200-300 in a regular session, normally 3 times a week, more if I can.
 
I used to hit anything up to 300. I used to work on something then I just liked to hit balls. I just find it relaxing hitting balls at the range. Don't know why.

My new coach has told me I'm only allowed to hit upto 50 per range session now. He says he just want's me to work on getting the 'feel' for whatever were working on, then stop so that the last thing I remember from the range session (or lesson) is the feel I'm looking for.

Although I did hit 100 after work today, so nobody tell him :D ;)
 
Some where in the middle I'll hit 10 flat out "Tim - Huge-Golfy" drives

Thats what you think!! :D


I could happily hit 1000 ball in a session but time and money would never allow. £60+ to bang some old balls about isn't what I call value. Generally about 200ish but the last time I did that was about a year ago.
 
I'll take 40 minutes over hitting 50 balls.

I've done 100 balls before now, but I tend to waste the last 20-25 coz I'm bored/knackered.

A good session is 20 minutes on the putting green, then a few looseners, then 5I 4h 3h 4W driver, just enough until I hit a couple of decent ones, before moving up to the next club, then a few wedges.

Then I play 'virtual' holes with the rest.

EG. pretend I'm playing Copthorne

1st Drive, 5I, wedge
2nd 4W, 4h, SW
3rd 3h

etc

just keeps it interesting, and stops me just thumping them.
