Slow Motion Practice

I used to think practicing golf was the most boring thing in sports. That was until I started to gain an understanding of the mechanics of the swing and started to try and model a swing for myself. So if practicing golf on the range is boring to someone just think about practicing a slow motion swing in your living room. I never thought I would do that. However, it takes the place of hours on the range in my opinion. Getting the feel for the turn, the weight shift and follow through in slow motion can truly translate to your unconscious effort on the course. I can really see and feel a reverse pivot action clearly in slow motion and correct it immediately in the slow motion work. I can really feel that first move necessary to get the swing going correctly. Anyone else get a lot out of this type of practice?

Re: Slow Motion Practice

I've tried it (thanks Bill Kroen!). It works well. I've used both a regular club and my homemade momentus - much harder with the momentus!

But as you say - you can feel different things and correct them. Your brain (when practicing this way) isn't focused on speed, but rather the feel of the positions. So to move this way, you impart the feel of good positions into your brain. Then you speed it up, hitting those good positions. Then you hit the ball well, and play good golf.

Re: Slow Motion Practice

The slow moton practice is odd, at the begining, but after practicing it at my living room during only two weeks, my score became consistent in the lower rank. Now I'm looking for better results and my plan is; evaluate in my game where can I save strokes or what in my swing is causing more strokes, make the corrections at slow motion, test the changes at the range and speed to the course to see the results.

Re: Slow Motion Practice

I use slow motion practice to change my swing. You look at some of the video's on here and the person that put them up will say, "Ok, changed my swing, heres the first one and the new one" and they will be practically identical. Then to make matter worse, once you put a ball in front of you, your body defaults back to the old way it knows anyway.

A video camera and slow motion swings are the fastest way I've found of actually changing your swing..
