Driver Impact

I was down the driving range a couple of weeks ago and I decided to put some impact tape on the clubface.
Once I had warmed up I put the impact tape on the clubface and I hit about a dozen golf balls.

After hitting another thirty or so golf balls I tried the test again.

As you can see from this picture the impact point has moved away from the center of the clubface.
Despite this, these shots were going straighter than the ones from the previous pictures!

Having seen how I was hitting the driver I decided that the next time I played a round of golf alone I would put some impact tape on the driver, just so I could see if my impact point would change when I got out on the course.

The one high shot was on the 4th tee on the Priors course. I used one of the grey castle tees and got right under the ball. All the other shots were using the light red (pink for some of you!) castle tees.
