As long as the range balls are in good shape, pretty close to hitting off real turf.

I respect your response. I don’t hit that many balls. The villages do have some great instructors. I’ve considered the pkg. But it’s not for me and doesn’t address the shortcomings of mats and what we could possibly do with what we already pay.

It’s amazing the # of palettes of sod that I see daily in the villages. It’s amazing how fast they erect villages.

Is it wrong for me to reason that the Villages could modify what they are doing with better dialogue.

1) Hand path goes towards the target or away from the body going through the ball on the downswing.

2) One is told to hold the release through the ball. This can create the shanks and then manifest into the yips.

3) Grip pressure

4) Distance from the ball.

5) Body limitations

6) unclear understanding of how the ball interacts with the face

7 Focal dystonia

The list can go on. Mats affect the angle of attack in which the club is swung. It can do some damage to your confidence and your game. There is better information out there for the shanks than you have expressed. There are better options than accepting the status quo by remaining uninformed.
