Anyone have an interesting set up for a practice station that they use on the range? I’m not looking for a commercial product but something home made- dowels, old shafts, cardboard box kind of thing. Any pictures and explanation might make an interesting thread. Thanx.

Our range SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS . .. . We got like a field with 4 targets and nothing really defines them. But there is a really short flag depending on where they put the tees, it can be 30 to 60 yards out. I like to hit shots that start just left of the flag and cut, start just right of the flag and draw, and right over the flag. Homer said that you should be able to control your starting direction of the ball with all plane line combos.
The other thing that I'll monkey with sometimes is getting a dowel on the ground to define the target line. The get in my fix alignments and put one on the ground parallel to my on plane right forearm and use that as the angle of approach.

I use the thin reflector sticks that Lynn used at The Barclay's. I will put 2down for the target line (plane line) then place one in the ground standing up 10-15 feet away on the same line. I practice tracing the plane line and hitting the vertical rod with the ball. The stick will not break and the ball will travel into the range without coming back. It is really cool to see how many times you can hit that little stick. You will definately know if you have "straightaway ball flight".

Nice.
There was a time when I played golf with friends as our 'babies' were growing up and we had day care duties sometimes. We joke that we could put the kids in the middle of the fairway and they would be safe.
I can see my kid on the stick- safe as a bug in a rug.

Where can said sticks be purchased? Was there a picture of them in the Barclays thread?
Thanks!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Here is a picture of Henning using one for Base Line Tracing. They are thin and plastic- very flexible. Not good for dowel work but good for plane lines and such.
Also another picture of the Pros- with guess who in the golf cart? I'll post it and others in the Barclay thread later this week. Eagle maddness in philly- not to mention the Phillies.

I buy them from Home Depot here in Long Beach. In the sign department. I have two types. One for baseline drill stuck at the end of the club and hav eguys hit ball with it for feed back.
The others i have a friend James Oh that cuts them and makes a tee setup with toro sprikler fittings and tape. Its smaller and easy to make like a PVC t-square.
