Here’s something to think about and maybe try. You have heard of swing concepts based around the hands (really old guys), the arms (somewhat old guys), and the body (nearly everybody nowadays).
How about a swing based on the club? (See Ernest Jones, Manuel de la Torre, Vivien Saunders).
Watch this video of In Gee Chun’s golf swing. Start it at 2:25 to see it in super slow motion. Don’t watch her, though. Watch the club. Watch how the club is moving and you will see how a golf club is supposed to move. Go to full screen see it best.
Now figure out how to make your golf club move the same way. Hint: You don’t do that by copying how she moves. When you swing, keep your mind on your image of how her club moves.
All this has to do with applying the principle of external focus, as developed by Dr. Gabrielle Wulf.
Very interesting, Bob. I have a request. Would you please invent golf clubs a golfer can talk to — and that truly listen, of course.
On a number of occasions, I’ve talked to mine about what they’re supposed to do, but so far my comments — even “stern” ones — seem to fall on deaf soles.
