About this episode
Do you take a practice swing? Or ten? Why? Out of habit, or are you accomplishing something on purpose? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg analyze the value of the practice swing. Is it technical—or too technical? Does it help with producing the upcoming shot—or is it itself a distraction and an excuse? What about practice swings for chipping and putting? Whatever your current practice on practice, there's something here to sharpen your preparation for the next swing.
