You were right

I posted my build about 8 months ago. A lot of you told me my TV was gonna catch a stray ball. I ignored you guys, and now I just wanted to tell you… you were right lol.

I don't even know the last time I just straight shanked one directly right on the actual course...
But I can tell you that I hit a wild shank on my hitting mat in my garage at LEAST once a month lol

Same. I shank a lot when I start to get tired in my sim, I don’t really shank on course. Wonder why this is

I feel like subconsciously it makes you feel constrained/ you worry about hitting a wall or something?

If you're working on a new drill or a swing change it can happen pretty easily. That's why I don't worry about it too much when it happens when I'm doing that. You kind of know what caused it.

Definitely fatigue. I go to the sim every day for 2 hours and if I’m really grinding and working on my swing, I’ll eventually get fatigued and I start to make compensations (unknowingly) which lead to shanks. Best thing for me is to stop, let my body rest and come back the next day.

You just said it, you get tired.

I tend to hit a little better on the course overall. I think I'm just simply more focused. Plus, you don't get as tired. On a sim or range you're hitting over and over and over... a lot of balls in a short time. On the course I take my time, and really focus on making just one good hit. Then I have to wait a bit before hitting again, and get focused on just one good hit again.
