When a golf player remains too long during the ball, you can almost SEE Putting the paralysis of the analysis as they pass through a rocking of shaky thoughts. But the delay may be more complicated to know when you are over the ball.
If you face this issue, you are likely to have been advised to attract the trigger faster – keep those thoughts from the collection and, Just proceed with it! Sounds logical, but a recent study by Eric Alpenfels, a Top 100 Golf teacherAnd Bob Christina reveals that this long -held belief can be damaging your game more than helping it.
In the study, 32 lower secondary handicappers were required to hit the drives in four different conditions. The first was what Alpenfels refers to as “responding to the target”, or having a zero delay after taking a final look. The second was a two -second delay, pulling the trigger just a short wait after looked at the ball again. Third was a delay of four seconds and the final situation, of the control urged players to use every time that is normal for them.
The results were interesting.
The study found that shaking without delay did not lead to better discs, distance or accuracy. In fact, the best performance – especially in terms of sustainability – came when the players waited two seconds after looking at the target. But here is the hit: these players were instructed to count those seconds loudly-“a thousand-one, a thousand do”. That simple structure helped them focus on the process and avoid overturning.
Sisitingly, the worst performance came when players did things as they usually do. With their natural delay, the players were more messy, both in the distance and in how much they left their shooting.
So what does everything mean?
What is trampling on your head during this short moment before swinging is very important. Counting a few seconds after you look at the target gives your brain just enough time to settle before your body allows to fly. We are not suggesting a completely pre-shop rebuilt routine, but it’s worth trying the next time you practice.
Set, place over the ball as you will do, then after your last target look, look down the ball and count “a thousand-one, a thousand do”, and go. This small adjustment can only be enough to add some consistency to your tee game.
