     Great clip.  Everything is so clear and large too.  Show us a few more if you have time.  Another nice Dom mortar too!

Thanks for posting!

COOL!!

Did it hook or slice?

Could you tell, frame by frame, any rotation of the golfball?

Maybe you need to use a driving range ball with a stripe.

The bottom half should be slightly blackened by the smoke and fire.
