Dan Martin on Practice Swings (Video)

Yes, Sherman, let's crank up the Wayback Machine and journey back to 2012 for modern day golfing tip. (That's a Mr. Peabody reference, for the ones of you who neglected it.) PGA insructor Dan Martin has a without a doubt cool one for you.

Most folks are aware that our exercise swings are normally a great deal extra balanced and rhythmic than our actual swings. Martin's inspiration right here facilities on one very good cause why that happens.

When you're making a exercise swing, you typically don't hit an real ball. (If you do, that may be one cause your rankings are so excessive!) As a result, you reflect onconsideration on drift and no longer approximately the actual ballstriking... And there may be a truely good danger you do not even realise where the ball might need to be positioned so as for your practice swing to truely hit it.

The excellent factor approximately this drill -- creating a exercise swing at the range, noting in which the divot is and then putting the ball in that spot for your real shot -- is that you may do almost the identical drill out on the golfing route. The apparent distinction (if I really need to point it out) is that, once you note in which your divot is, you can not pass your ball when you're at the course. However, you CAN observe the divot position and take your stance so the ball is in the equal spot relative to your toes.

This is a drill I suppose will open your eyes to the real differences between your practice swing and your actual swing. And that know-how might make a dramatic difference on your recreation with out a great deal greater practice at all! What greater are you able to ask of a drill?
