does everything in your garden move that slow?

it's like some kind of crazy time warp

Good stuff Alex, just dismantled the kids trampoline in my garden and am going to set one up,better to get your garden done first before filming,lol

Oh Alex that is going to end in tears. Either you will slip on your arse (beginners mistake hitting with the grain of the decking!) or you are going to miss the sheet, just the once....

I have already fallen foul to that just one thing. Wind blew the sheet up ball hit the bench behind and hit me. Also lots of ball in the field behind too . I can't get to the range like I could last year and my study is now the baby's room so at least I have this.... Till it gets dark.

I say sod the full shots and get an umbrella and chip into it, work on touch instead.

Oh it's all good, I have been using it for months.

I'd be a little worried about hitting them against a springs platform

 

[stevelev]

Reduce the risk of missing the net or it blowing up.

Thread some curtain wire through the bottom edge and screw it into the decking, not too tight but just enough so it wont blow up. And maybe move more central and a touch closer, much less chance of missing.

You could all spray scoring zones on it to practise onto the sheet too. I hope you've copyrighted it.

alex, def get a bigger sheet or weigh it down
secondly get something else to stand on, decking and especially wet/damp/moist decking is no use for a firm footing, your brain will sense that and you'll end up with an swing all arms so you dont slip or fall, screw down a bit of astro turf to stand on and dont hit anything less than a 4 iron so you dont miss(or is it a field behind)

 

[Alex1975]

If I secure the bottom of the net(sheet) it tends to rip plus I really am not that fussed about losing balls, the field behind is derelict but there is a VERY thick ivy bush too. I think I will make some sand bags to semi secure the bottom. The astro to stand on is a good idea although the decking is treated so has not been slippy so far. I cant stand any closer as the club hits the sheet and that hurts!

I did however quickly learn to use 6 iron to hybrid as its all too easy to hit a high one with 7 and below and 3 wood and driver is a little long.

The Trackman is not due to come until next week but the power is all hooked up! Damn that thing is expensive!!

Where are the deer and the antelope?

 

[Wayman]

looks fine and so does the swing

Thanks a lot, I am not to proud to take a complement, though I could pick the swing to bits I have to confess its feeling good.

The net is great for 20 or 30 shots a night.

The super slo-mo gives the whole thing a VERY sinister quality

When you walk into shot with the club, I'm not sure if you're going to swing it or beat someone to death with it, then wrap them in the plastic sheeting....

Unsettling.

LMFAO!!! I should add some gangsta rap to dark it up a bit. Better still I could kill someone and wrap them in plastic and video it in slow mo for your viewing pleasure...



Ever seen the Family Guy where Peter plays "Surfing Bird" all day and night... oh ill just find the clip.

Well I'd watch, but knowing this place someone would come on and pick fault with your murdering technique. "Your hands are closed when the club makes impact with the skull" etc....

Great clip BTW. Cool Whip.
