First Downswing thought

If you had one thought on the downswing , what would it be?? (I.E. Plant left heel, turn hips, move left knee to left, keep head still, pull down, move hips to side, shoot right knee in, etc)

Re: First Downswing thought

Nope. I wouldn't bother with a downswing thought, unless I was on the range. On the range, I might think about holding my wrist cup.

On the course, I'm usually focused on my target.

Re: First Downswing thought

My first thought on my down swing is looking at the inside rear quadrant of the ball. As long as my club face hits that part of the ball, everything else in my down swing is working well enough to give me a pretty good next shot, or putt. GJS

Re: First Downswing thought

It has to be a pull down on the butt of the club. To me, if this is executed properly, it has to encourage a good strike, and eliminates an over the top move.

Re: First Downswing thought

I think the word slow thru my whole swing. This keeps me from lunging and coming over the top and smooth on my backswing. I dont remember much after I start my downswing though , its pretty much set in auto then.

All these things are great thoughts for the range during practice on the course......empty head is best.

As one member puts it "Twat it"


It's thoughts that ruin your game......!!!
