Anybody clear on Clampett's "Aiming Point"

[bambam]

I shot that bit of video. I will see if I can find it and post it up later in the week.
Bambam did have all of the clips I took that week so he may beat me to the punch

Here it is:

For those who were there, you may remember watching Jeff Hull hit the dowel (sans noodle) 6 or 7 times in a row, including the last one with a driver pretty far back of the dowel!

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.

I have seen Vijay Singh set his umbrella up like this and hit fades around it. I can see the need for something to buffer the impact on the dowel.

I like it, cut a pool noodle a couple inches more than the dowel and you have a pretty neat training device!

Yea that was a good day that. I was further down the line trying my damm hardest to hit the bloody dowel. I think I was the last one to hit it, even my roomie Burner managed to hit the dowel several times before I did

Ha, I didn't hit it very many times either. It was pure dumb luck that golfguru happened to catch it on camera!

Brings back pleasant memories.

Now, if only there were some decent practice facilities it would be well worth another visit.
