u/nightstalker30 2025 · r/golftips · in “PGA Superstore, practice bays, and trackman.”

In addition to looking at your average distances, use the system to map out your shot patterns (cones) with each club. Your shot pattern will be an oval-shape that covers both lateral and distance dispersion. If you’re right handed, that oval will likely go from short and right to long and left for most, if not all, clubs. Know those shot patterns and use them when picking clubs and targets on the course. The idea …
