The pre-shop routine is important. Look at every professional golf player and you will see them spend a routine before making a pace. The routine may vary depending on the type of shooting (tee purpose, straight path, chip, putti, etc.) but they have a specific process they follow.
If you’ve ever wondered why your best sessions do not translate into golf course or why you can’t play a steady or steady golf round, the answer may be in your pre-shop routine.
The pre-show routine prepares you for a stroke. More than just intended and a quick temptation. Here are some of the biggest mistakes associated with pre-shop routine and practical tips to fix them.
You are standing over the ball for a long time
The longer you stand above the ball (10, 15, 20 seconds), the more you invite the opportunity to get a second conjecture and the construction of the voltage. A faster pre-shop routine is often better than a slower.
In their book 8 -second golf secretMike Bender and Michael Mercier suggests once a golf player is strokeed, the actual execution should take about eight seconds.
Before you get inside, the pre-shop routine should take about 10 to 12 seconds, so the whole process of hitting a golf stroke lasts about 20 seconds.
How to fix it
Time your pre-shop routine taking a video from you hitting a golf shot in the rank. How long does the whole thing take? How long are you standing over the ball before pulling the trigger?
Are there areas of your pre-store routine that last more than it should? Make adjustments and practice a new routine.
Your routine is contrary (or non-existent)
Let us be honest. Do you have a pre-shop routine? Is it repetitive? Constant tinkering makes it difficult to be stable mental and predictable in your golf game. You need a pre-show routine.
How to fix it
Set a simple, repetitive process. A good full full routine may look like this:
- Stand behind the ball to confirm the shot line and the target.
- Get one or two practical shakes BEHIND the ball (not next to it)
- Step inside. Put the club first, then your feet.
- Get one or two last views on the target.
- Pull the trigger within eight seconds.
You don’t have a trigger
A good pre-shop routine needs a cause. The intersection is a small, repetitive movement as a shaking, the press ahead, a breath Or one last look at the target you tell your body that it’s time to hit the shooting.
Without a reason, you can feel like you have a difficult time to remove the club away from the ball or you don’t know when you start it.
My exchanger is feeling a little pressure on the inside of my trail foot. It’s not a weight change. Just just a cause I created and then I’m ready to go.
Find something small you can repeat and use as your own.
You are getting a lot of views on the target
This makes me a little nervous because we do not want to abandon the idea of seeing the target as part of the pre-store routine. However, some players stand on the ball and look at the target three, four or five times.
The problem with this is that you can introduce indecision whenever you look.
How to fix it
Limit yourself to one or two views on target. The first view is when confirming your target. The second can help increase confidence and help you visualize the right goal. Use your appearance to photograph the perfect shoot, the joker that you fear may not hold.
You think you need a certain number of practice shakes every time
Some players think that “should” get two practical shakes before each full blow. If they don’t get both, they can’t hit. Solid rules like this can be fiery.
Happy what happens if your practice shakes are not good? In addition, many practical oscillations can make your routine take more time and feel forced. As much as it is as much as you want to be the pre-shop routine, it should also feel natural.
How to fix it
Instead of being stuck in two practical oscillations, take one. If you feel good go with it. If you need more ever, get them. Save your shaky thoughts on your practice shakes and try to release them when you go up to hit your current goal.
Bonus tips for short game
Your routine NOT must be the same for any type of shot. In fact, most pro PGA and LPGA Tour fit their routine for full swing, chips and strokes.
- Disclision and pits: Can help to get practical swing near The ball to feel the interaction of the terrain. Keep all the thoughts “hit by bad” by your head.
- Setting: Some key players do not get any practical blows while others get one or two behind the ball or near the ball. Always choose a clear target and never think about losing putt in the last seconds before pulling the trigger.
Final thoughts
A strong pre-shop routine will not guarantee a perfect blow, but it creates a reliable mental frame for any pace. If this element is missing from your game, make a goal this season to set a strong pre-shop routine and avoid these common mistakes.
