My swing has a naturally slow movement. I dont pay attention to it though it just happens. i heard tiger woods say that he never remembers hitting his shots. Hr only remembers finishing the hole.
Yes it is a great book..second to “the golfers nightmare”…hehe. I have found that its ok for me to use his back-hit-stop drill on the shorter clubs, but am finding that on the longer clubs i am converting the back-hit-stop from nouns into verbs! There are gaps in my awareness you would say still. I prefer to use his da-da-da method on the longer clubs for swinging the club for awareness and practice. Out on the course…well even using the da-da-da method, gaps show up and pesky can still have his say. I have found that counting quickly is more successful for me. Cam as would have read, he also uses the method of humming while swinging to show up any tight spots in the swing. I have found that with the back-stop-hit method, da-da-da and the humming drills im a bit off the mark just before impact sometimes and i hit a snap hook. Thats ok that it happens, but not great at my course, because we have a lot of out-of-bounds of the left!! Am i right in saying that i should do nothing about it, but just focus on that point more?
You can focus more on that point in your swing. That will highlight any blind spots. But you might want to challenge yourself a little. Can you hit a high fade on those holes? Or what about changing your strategy a little (like hitting another club)?
Thanks cam. It’s quite a challenge to break to break out of the mould of what I have been doing for so long and realise there is more than one way to the bottom of the cup.

May 10, 2013The easiest way t Ifull distance is to hit hard. With a extremely firm and tight grip youll hit the ball not only dead straight but exyremely far.
