What would you say about a flawless shot? Every golfer can relate to the indescribable feeling of hitting the “sweetspot”.
For a devoted golfer, learning the secret to reliably reproducing that effortless feeling is the essence of the sport. The common misconception among golfers is that good technique will naturally result in an ephemeral feeling.
Although most instruction focuses on technical perfection, golf is frequently referred to as the ultimate game of feel. Do you think that improper shooting technique, such as lifting the head, bending the left elbow, dropping the shoulder, etc., is to blame for poor shots?..
Your natural sense of feel isn’t based on how much information you can recall; rather, it’s based on your capacity to temporarily set aside all technical considerations in order to simply hit the ball for one and a half seconds.
You possess the ability if you’ve ever made a perfect shot. Creating a physical trigger that stops the analytical process and allows you to swing freely is the key to replicating those shots.
It certainly sounds complicated.
Any golfer, regardless of skill level, can discover a special trigger that will enable them to consistently play at their highest level.
The routine can be as easy as tapping the ground once (Brandt Snedeker), spinning the club (Phil Mickelson), or hittingching the pants (Jim Furyk). Any action that a player consistently performs is their special power move or switch to go from thinking to feeling.
Despite the fact that each player is different, every successful trigger has three things in common: (1) the player’s posture changes to an upright position. In other words, the trigger prompts them to maintain their poise. (2) The player continues to move until he or she is ready. The route to feeling is motion. (3) A trigger typically lasts three to five seconds. This window of time is ideal for starting the swing for the majority of golfers.
How does one find their trigger?
Think back to your most recent successful attempt while closing your eyes. Can you make out the target? Watch yourself choosing the club and getting ready to hit the shot as you go back in time. As you approach the ball, pay attention to the feeling. Did you anticipate the shot’s success? Once you can consciously recreate the ideal feeling, practice the memory again.
At least one flawless shot occurs in every round. Whenever you hit a perfect shot, hold onto the feeling for as long as you can. It might be a 250-yard drive or a four-foot putt. Have you ever witnessed a tour professional maintain their finish position? Have you ever wondered what they are expecting?
Now you know.
When you learn how to move past swing mechanics, you will be able to discover the natural talent that every golfer possesses.
