Just in the past week i've started to work on swinging. The past few range sessions have been great, hitting the ball really solidly and a long way and it only feels like i'm using 10% effort. I took this swing to the course yesterday, didn't score badly, shot 72 but had a lot of good breaks from the tee. The problem is, after a few holes i couldn't stop from trying to hit the ball.
After every tee shot i knew that i had really driven the right forearm and ended up with a mish mash of swinging and hiting and not very well struck tee shots. With irons it wasn't such an issue.
So anyone got any tips? I know it's probably a difficuilt problem to deal with other than sticking with it. Thanks.
Should've been posted in the swingers section, sorry.
As simple as it sounds, they don't call it 'rope swinging' for nothing.
Get a section of rope, or a t-shirt or towel, and swing it back and through, back and through, with your eyes closed. You'll have to 'wait' a bit for your transition (until the rope/shirt/towel hits your back) then you can really drrrrraaaaaaagggggg it through -
It can be very helpful to hum a tune when doing this, and I find the 'Tour Tempo' tones to be very beneficial in teaching the proper sensations and timing.
