Thanks Bambam

Im really glad this came up .........never knew what was going on there. Im going to set up a station like that and give it a go. Ive always been really good at hitting tree trunks when trying to come out of the woods......

Bucket touched on another great way to use this setup for practice. You can intentionally hit the ball to the right or left of the stick to work on different shot shapes, or if you're struggling with a pull or push, you can work on hitting it to the opposite side of the stick to correct your motion. Adding the noodle would be good for that type of practice, as you'd have to really get the ball out and around the dowel.

Trying to hit that little dowel is a fun drill, and you get some funny looks at the range when you hit it.
