106: Q&A: How Do I Eliminate Technical Swing Thoughts?
About this episode
If you're like most golfers you've probably gotten too much in your head with endless mechanical swing thoughts during the round. Thinking things like:
- Push off the ground.
- Take it back more outside.
- Accelerate on the downswing.
- Make sure to hinge your wrists.
Or whatever swing issue you're currently facing. That's golf - we tend to get overly technical but let me ask... has it ever helped your game?
Chances are no, it hasn't... to play your best golf and get in the zone you need to LET GO. When you do, you can go unconscious and focus on playing golf... not playing your golf swing.
