Team Titleist Golfers,

If you've been following along with my posts this summer, you know that everything I've covered up to this point has to do with pre-swing fundamentals. If you've seen ALL of those videos and read all of the posts, you're ready to take a look at this one.

As your swing starts, so does the "timer"... How long do you have until impact? Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 seconds! How much can you think of during that period of time. How many stimuli can you detect, identify and react to? Not many - so be sure your system is primed with the type of intent that will allow your subconscious to solve the task of moving the ball from one point to another with ease.

Here, we're taking a look at how the swing begins. Is there wristcock, or is it a "one-piece" takeaway? Do we roll/pronate the forearms, bend the trail elbow, keep the lead elbow straight, all of these? If the answer is all of them, in what order must they occur. And what about the lower body? Are we shifting weight, pivoting, rotating/tilting hips? Man, there's a lot going on - can you keep track of it all?

Consider the club for a moment. Consider the shape of the motion that you need to move it through. Can you move it through that shape? I'm betting that you can. You may not make as long or as fast a swing as someone like Justin Thomas, but I promise you, you can find consistency and effectiveness if you start considering things differently.

Thanks for reading and watching, please let me know if you have any questions!
