I'm willing to give it a chance. Some time back I started a thread about practice swings. I've never been sure whether they are a good idea for me or not. I even tried keeping a log to see whether they helped, and I couldn't see any particular advantage--except for chipping, where the lighter swing makes it more important to test the lie. But my full swing routine had become a bit heavy, with one or more full practice swings, then waggles, then takeaways, then another waggle, then finally swinging the club. I suppose all of that gives me way too much time to think about what might go wrong. At the driving range, I never do all that, since, after all, they're all just practice shots. At the range, I do stand back and look at the target and line up the shot each time, and I waggle the club. But I never do practice swings or takeaways, let alone both. And I strike the ball better there than on the course. Maybe there's a connection.
