Nice one. I'm interested to follow this thread, as I know my short game has suffered this year due to lack of practice.

JB, do you think using 3 different kinds of shot so early in the process is good practice, or would you be better trying to groove one kind of go-to shot? Does the variety help out in that you don't get bored just hitting the same kind of shot for the whole session?

For me its kind of way of gauging what I need to work on. When I used to practice this all the time, I would use 3 shots a lot on my wedge game. Draw, fade, straight, high, low, etc...Most of my work will come down to my normal shot, but working with ball position lets me know where my weaknesses are in some cases. My normal shot will almost always be my go to shot if I can have that and the conditions work for it.

For me its about getting back to the basics and working on what gets me the best scores. Lots of practice does that and this was a nice beginning test to gauge that.
