I have been working on nothing but this for the last 2 weeks.Not hit many balls but those that I did ,I really focused on the ball and the feel, not the outcome.
I got to the point where the feeling became quite hypnotic and I had the feeling that everything was happening so slowly ,I really felt as though I could 'feel' any part of the motion I chose to.
Anybody else tried this-REALLY FOCUSED?

I've tried it one time while . . . you were talking about golf right? my bad.
Here's some more stuff to experiment with. Hit balls starting from top. Make a bunch of swings with your eyes closed . . . then try to hit one eyes closed.
If you got a video camera . . . film a swing where you make the goofiest possible feeling swing you can make . . . then watch it. You'll be surpised how ungoofy it looks . . . lesson you can't trust feel . . . but you can trust alignments.
Neil,yes mate something similar,I was told something similar some years ago by a touring pro here in aussieland,to make a long story short,even in practice,Focus on a different grass colour or something that stands out where you want the ball to land be it a leaf or whatever,not look at it but FOCUS--FOCUS - FOCUS and providing your swing is at that level or there abouts you will see remarkable results,I concetrated on this for sometime and it pays dividends.I was in lead of a tourney at that time and it was,nt until I had actually walked from the hole that I just made birdie on and then realised that my tee shot had landed right on the spot I aimed at,Yes Yes Yes focus is real

I used to and felt like a "machine", which you're supposed to do for execution.
Now, I do "eyes on the Low Point, mind in the Lag".
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
My eyes on the ball are for a steady head. The eyes that hit the ball are the ones in my hands- an inner eye. Substitute inside quad of ball with Aiming Point.
Many of us play far less than practice- remember to play with the "Feel." Leave the training guy home for a while. The whole point is to feel the machine, not tune it up swing to swing.
