This is a good plan. The walking the balls back part of the practice routine here gives you time to think about what you are trying to accomplish. Hit about 3 to 5 and then go and pick them up and repeat. You may not hit as many balls as you could if you hit a whole bag of them, but the time spent thinking about your shots, thinking about your goals, thinking about the swing make the shots you do hit much, much more valuable.
