So, reading stuff.. as i do sometimes and one of the "tips" that came up was ..
"dont beat yourself up when you practice, especially on a driving range.. mix it up!
Dial in 1 club in a session and as soon as you hit your "sweet" shot.. stop and do something else.. different drills.. change clubs, but leave it on a good shot..."
this, Apparently encourages good swing memory, swing thoughts and positive associations with hitting the clubs
Record it, analyze it, correct it, then repeat but in the next session
So, im game.. Ill give it a try.. here I am dialing in the 9i
Took 7 shots to hit a "perfect" 9 for me.. so i stopped and filmed a 9 hole..ill do it again next week :)
Thoughts? Is this positive reinforcement a "thing" for a golfswing? @Tom Saguto
@Bazza Clarke Your opening question: Is this a workable tip? IMHO, it depends on what you believe workable means. If it takes 7 swings to hit a 9 iron perfect and you stop swinging the 9 iron as instructed by the tip, then it seems that it is workable. The real question is: if I do this tip, will my ball striking improve?
The answer to that depends on you? Now that you have hit a perfect 9 iron, will you always hit the 9 iron perfect? Probably not, right. But next time you do the tip, maybe it only takes six swings to reach perfection, and so on and so on. If that’s the case, then your ball striking has improved. And you could say this tip worked for you.
But I think the best outcome of this tip is that you will gain some confidence that you can hit a perfect 9 iron. And stopping after hitting the perfect 9 iron allows you to internalize that feeling of success, without losing that brief moment of confidence in yourself by shanking the next one.
Golf is hard, but we love it!
