Ok just went the range and tried this drill because yesterday I struggled big time with my driver and three wood on the course. Over the top swing not focusing on the swoosh but didn’t realize I focusing on the wrong target. Got amazing results. I had to two people come up to me at the range and tell me how good my drives were and that I was hitting it so consistent! Thanks for also discussing the mental side of the swing and game. I tend to get to careful rather then just letting it go!
That is beautiful Greg! Great on you man! 👍😀💪
When I try to swing unintentionally hard my arms extend slightly in the last part of the downswing and my brain seems to know and forces me to turn enough to contact the ball. This gives me a pull. If the swing is even harder my pec and left arm tension up and I block it to the right. I know it is wrong and I do not have that intension. I can swing with ease and complete the task but the ball only goes 3/4 the distance. So next time my brain says I guess I have to swing harder. Bad brain.
when you want to go farther, whip the dandelion stem farther! See “kinetic chain engagement part 6” and the latest “task update” where we focus on sending the damdelion stem into the wind!
Thanks I went back to the range and got back to getting on the lead leg to start the down swing and the swing started taking care of itself. A heavy throw was what was needed to get rid of the tension. To finish off, cutting the grass was perfect for ball grass contact. When I use heavy throw to target as the main task it is not as accurate for control of the bottom of my swing. Cutting grass just fits me well. It is a more relaxing task than trying to make the ball do something like on TV.
You nailed it when you said “a more relaxing task”
BINGO!! That is a keeper!!👍😀💪👌
The gopro angle at the end was very helpful in understanding how far out to the right the swing needs to feel! Surprisingly easy to see the blur as well.
Glad you enjoyed that! It was a lot of fun to do! 👍😀
Interesting comment by Savannah – about playing defensive (I have to score well, I have to make sure, etc) is SO TRUE. The second you do that – it almost guarantees a bad score!
The challenge is really to keep on swinging freely – stick to the task/control your strain level – and the ball will go where the ball will go.
“Any attacking swing, will still be better than any defensive swing” – gold nugget right here.
Boom! Light bulb! 👍😀
Great video. I find is easy to “think” about swinging towards the target, but find it overwhelmingly difficult not to “hit” the ball. And keep defaulting to the ball.
This is why you need to adopt a solid task to focus on; the task gets you through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball. When you look down and see a task to deliver, you are good to go. If you look down and see a ball to hit or “not to miss”, you are TOAST. SEE “task trumps everything” and “top 3 tasks” to start!
Thank you.
