not moving towards you at nearly 100 mph like a baseball, or spiraling at you from 40 yards like a football or coming across a net at 100 mph+ like a tennis serve.

Should be a piece of cake.

Nope, not at all.

The ball is small, as is the clubhead, the sweet spot on the club head where you want to put on the ball is even smaller, the size of a nickel, you don't get three strikes at it and you have to hit it straight.
