Consistency is the number 1 indicator of a big golf player. Everyone can hit a good blow, or play a good hole, but the key to greatness is good shots, good holes and good rounds together.
This is not an easy task. Even the best players in the world make bad shakes, card rods and shoot high results. There is nothing like that as the perfect golf. The best we can do is minimize mistakes and be as stable as possible.
With all the moving parts at a pace, it is very difficult to make the same movement in each stroke. But while the moving parts of a swing are difficult to repeat, the basics in configuration are not.
Things like attitude, approximation AND prostitute They are not the most interesting things to practice, but they are some of the easiest things to do constantly. That is why this offseason, I have dedicated myself to practice these bases in every blow.
How to practice the perfect ball position
Although practicing during winter is not the easiest thing to do, I try to go to the simulator several times a week to get in some repetitions. In the past, I just used this time to keep my body lose and my golf muscles working. But this offseason, I decided to be obsessed with the bases of the pre-shop.
Recently, the thing I have worked on is the ball position. And for help measuring the ball position, I bring a backyard stick with me at every practical session.
I like to put the yard stick on the ground showing my intended line, and then I stay with the center of my attitude right in the middle (in the 18 -inch mark). Then, in every stroke I hit, I placed the ball in the same location with respect to the signs on the yard stick.
This ball position will change for any club. For example, with my wedges, I want the ball to be right in the center of my attitude, so I put it in accordance with the 18 -inch mark before each blow. With short cuffs, I placed the ball in the 16 -inch mark. For longer handcuffs, I move it a little more and line up the ball up with the 14 -inch mark. The ball sits at 10.5 inches for the Fairway Woods and then for the driver I like to be on the 9-inch sign.
Is it tedious to practice this way? Yes – but the benefits are worth it. I am no longer thinking or striking the correct ball position. Now when I hit a shot, I know exactly where the ball should be in my attitude for each club.
