this game is ball striker coin flip so ball striker coin flip is a fairly easy

2
00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:12.080
game all you need is your spot on the range and a coin you're gonna flip a

3
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.680
coin to determine what shot you're gonna hit now you're gonna hit it you're

4
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:22.480
gonna flip it three times so you're gonna flip it once for higher low you're

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.540
gonna flip it once for fade or draw and you're gonna flip it a third time for

6
00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:32.600
full or partial shot because as you know when you get on the course sometimes

7
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.600
you're gonna have partial shots you're not gonna be able to take a full swing

8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.520
you'll be between clubs so you're gonna use this flipping a coin as a random to

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:47.400
help you determine it now the advanced version is let's say I have a high

10
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:53.320
partial fade if I flip high again I have to hit it higher than my last shot if

11
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:53.600
I

12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.480
hit flip low I have to hit it lower than the last shot so it just gives you a

13
00:00:57.480 --> 00:00:57.640
way

14
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.620
to kind of gauge if I have fade and the next shot I get fade again I have to

15
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:05.540
hit a bigger fade so I'm gonna pick a target that allows for that you can

16
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:11.060
either gauge it in terms of you get a one point for doing it right or one

17
00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:14.660
point for doing it wrong or you can gauge all three you know did I take a

18
00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:20.420
good partial swing did I get it to fade did I get get it to go high I like to

19
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:25.240
play nine holes with this game so that way you can do a driver a driver off

20
00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:29.080
the tee and then an iron into the green and you can mix it up as far as what

21
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:33.400
iron you're hitting if you want to have a few par fives thrown in there have at

22
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:39.560
it but it's a great game for working on applying a little bit of randomness to

23
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.400
your practice and seeing what's gonna happen when your stocks full swing gets

24
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.520
put under the gun of having to shape shots
