I found this post of great interest to me because I am very serious about constantly improving my golf swing and my ability to play at a high level of competition. I am just as passionate about helping my students understand THEIR swings and ultimately improve them and their scoring ability.
I have been fortunate to be successful playing at every level from junior golf to professional, yet never understood the inconsistencies from round to round in my ball striking. That is until I really got deep into The Golfing Machine. The AIs I work with/for are Danny Elkins and Chris Asbell at the Georgia Golf Center and it is truly a privilege to work with them on a daily basis as we work with students and ourselves.
Probably the one thing that Chris and I work on constantly is creating the proper "FEEL' from the proper "MECHANICS", and trust me your feel will change but the mechanics will not.
I recently had my most successful year of competitive professional golf thanks to The Golfing Machine and Chris Asbell. Now when I play golf I use my pre-shot routine to precisely create the exact mechanics required for the shot at hand, create it in practice, and then pull the trigger trying to re-create the feel I just created in practice. The target is only a part of the address routine and is only used to grade my results. Because of this I no longer worry about where the trouble is or what may happen if I miss a shot. By focusing on the Mechanics I have produced a much better Feel for the game. Do not let anyone tell you can't play by mechanics because "mechanics produce and feel reproduces".
