Launch Monitor Doofus

[YodasLuke]

I did have an opportunity to get one very limited golf "fix" while on my little Orlando excursion. I went to the Golfsmith Store there 'cuz I heard that had them launch monitors.

If you ever go to their store in Orlando, allow an extra 45 minutes. That joint has the worst parking lot I have ever seen. It's in a strip mall thingie. It's like they let Ernest T. Bass be the civil engineer on the project or something. It literally took me 45 minutes to get out of the mall complex.

Anyway . . .

I don't understand launch monitors. I hit about 8 balls before some kid that looked like his face got into a fight with a staple-gun ran me off. (I was skeered.) I hit one ball that I felt like I mashed. It said it went 127 yards??? Then I hit another that felt like I cold topped it. It said I carried it 283 and it went 336? Huh? Do lauch monitors have cart paths in there or something? I ain't never in my whole life hit a ball that far. Other than boucin' drives over a frozen lake.

Am I a launch monitor tard?

What's y'all's experience been?

Galled you're back, bucket! (glad, glad, I meant glad) Now we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I've had similar experiences. My favorite is the guy that was fit indoors on a launch monitor and he shows up to take lessons from me with a 7 degree driver. I get it all the time. The typical MO is, "I hit the ball really high, so we wanted to make my ball flight lower." And, you entrusted whom to make your decision? Did you ever think about fixing the bent left wrist at impact, instead of the equipment?
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell you what...let's get you a 3 degree driver, because that left wrist is about the worst I've ever seen! Technology is great, if the operator knows what the heck he's doing. That's like giving my 7 month old the discussion about the warping of time and space and the theory of relativity. He's having enough trouble with algebra, right now. I think discussing the speed of light and gravity with it's effect on time would only frustrate him.
