I think that trying to teach basic motion on a range 300 yards long makes it harder... most of us will hit to within the limits of the surroundings... put a 50 foot high wall 20 feet in front of the player and see how many want to hit full shots into that...rebounds flying head high certainly makes one concentrate on 2 feet back 2 feet through.

Better still, use their most expensive balls 20 feet in front of a deep lake.... they are not going to want to get anywhere near acquired motion ... may not hit through enough though....

You've got a good point about getting them to do a true Basic Motion.

I thought I had the answer, when I asked a guy to imagine his girlfriend was sitting a couple of feet in front of him. I said, "hit the ball to her." Then, he must have hit the PW 175 yards. I said, "You just killed her!" He chuckled and said, "yeah!"

Something tells me they're no longer together.
