I have a mat and net that I use on my patio. Would like to add a launch monitor, preferably with left/right dispersion info, to give me more feedback but $$.

Ping ping balls are perfect for indoors. I use them all of the time. They give you lots of feedback too. If they crack that means you topped them. They are light and delicate so I feel like you actually swing the way your supposed to as to make proper contact. I feel like I’m always looser in my grip when I’m indoors hitting them. Just my experience.

Winter is a great time to do some at-home practice and work on your swing technique/movement.
There are also many indoor drills you can do to improve your strike quality. I like using guitar picks as they are light, brightly colored and won’t damage anything.
One example of a very challenging exercise is to place a guitar pick on a small square of golf carpet. Try to pick the pick off the carpet without moving the carpet significantly.
In order to get the pick to fly, you will have to present some amount of shaft lean, as well as get the low point in a good position. You also have to have very good control of the arc depth - a mm too high and you miss the pick. A couple of mm too low and the carpet moves too much.
Great skill building drill with an external focus.
During the first lockdown for covid, I created a free 3-day course with indoor-based drills. If anyone would like it, it’s still available here - https://www.adamyounggolf.com/3-day-golf-challenge/

I’ll just have to tell my neighbors not to be concerned if they start seeing guitar picks flying out of my garage!

This will sound really lame, but I’ve taken up swinging an alignment rod at home (as fast as I can). I make about 15 swings a day, both sides, trying to make the whoosh sound past the point of impact and extending my arms out as far as they can go.
I realize the Super-speed training system is much more efficient and reliable for this sort of practice, but this does work in a pinch if you don’t have a lot of space in your home for swinging a club. There’s probably at least a dozen useful things you can do with the lowly alignment rod. A person could do worse I suppose.

I’ve seen Andrew Rice promote that drill before, I think there’s definitely some value in it!

Don’t even need to pay for an “official” alignment rod! $2.25 will get you a nice 48" fiberglass rod at Home Depot that I have found to work just as well.

I think I purchased mine (a set of three) for about $10, so clearly I overpaid! Could’ve used that $8 savings on a range token.

Another golfer blowing too much money on practice equipment. So typical 
I don’t think anyone’s more frugal than I am, Jon. I once played a precept I found in the rough. Went about as well you can imagine.
