I have ingrained this way to practice for about a year now. Three practice swings and then commit!
Speaking of a shorter backswing drill, I have been working on this one lately. When you noticed the video I sent you you saw that I was coming over the top, this is really help me flatten my swing plane and really power my shots with my hips first.
Took some practice but Very effective!
(Will try to send an updated video soon)
The shorter swing will help flatten your swing because you reduce the time you have to hit with the arms. No hitting and you have to use your body (axis). If you turn the axis first the mass (club) will flatten. So glad you are shortening it up.
Great tip Paul. I find that that is my problem. THINK to much, my buddy tells me the same thing all the time. Randy you think to much. Seems like even while on the coarse its, ok is grip right, ok, thumbs to the ear, touch the legs, touch the head, swing easy, etc.etc. Trying to think of that through the shot. Not enough time in the swing to be thinking. Think on the practice swings, than step up and hit. I will give it a try tonight on the simulator during league.
Glad you liked it. I see people taking way too long all of the time.
Yes, there are certain things you need to check but you can overthink too. So basing it more o feeling is the way to speed things up. Not everyone is a feel learner but they need to try it this way to stop the over thinking.
Do practice swings to get the feeling then replicate the feeling. Then determine after the shot what you did or didn’t do right or wrong.
Thanks Mr. Wilson!
Love all your tips.. this one especially hits home with me. I am new to golf…actually think my swing is getting better. I will keep practicing!
