Task is everything! It’s so easy to default to the ball though under pressure or simply going ‘vacant’ at the top of the swing.
Shawn I have a nugget to share and would love to hear your thoughts.
After struggling to consistently stay on task (which we’ve discussed in our sessions) I’ve realised that it’s literally looking at the ball is causing my issue.
Solution. I’m setting up normally with my shot (based on my flight plan of course), and then before I start my swing I pick a spot 3-4 inches in front of the ball (which lines up with my intermediate point) and literally stay looking at that spot right through the shot.
I’m literally leaving it all up to my swing and … man it’s a great feeling hitting great shot after shot so easily!!
Same with chipping.. it’s so liberating allowing it to track without manipulating it!
You have to trust it though!!!!
Hey Matt! Yes, my last online lesson yesterday evening was EXACTLY THIS! This is a very sound way to get through the ball mentally and should be a part of the “stick your finish despite the ball series” where we started with Driver and placed the eyes in that zone in front of the ball about 3-4 inches and at the height the club was supposed to swing through after clipping the tip of the tee on the way up. The dispersion was sick!! Then he went right back to the irons and same thing happened. GOLD NUGGET HERE and we will latch onto this and take it deeper!
100% nugget for sure Shawn yes! Would love to see a video on this one day!
Shawn,
When I stay on task the results are incredible. But i still have trouble staying on task consistently. I found something that helps me stay with the shot. This drill is supposed to help with rhythm and tempo. You count one and two. One starts the down swing, and starts the down swing and two is through the ball. What i found is if I focus on my target, as soon as get the feeling of where I need to release to, I look down and immediately count one, which starts my swing. The counting definitely helps with my rhythm but of seems to clear my mind and let me focus on the target. What are you thoughts here? Am I headed down the right path?
Correction about “two” two is the release!
Hi Scott! I can’t believe I missed this one; make sure you email me directly as sometimes our systems update and things start going to my junk email; very frustrating! Awesome comment, reminds me of the old Fred Astaire Golf Dance video on youtube. One of my best rounds at Seminole Country Club was with a rhythmic focus like this TOWARDS A FLIGHT PLAN. Right on! Did you also see the comment above by Matt Davis? Another gold thread; plus without his, I would not have seen this one! 👍😀
