Not only do you need to move your club and body in a specific way, you need to move in the right order at the right time. Make sure you train when you move as well as how you move 💯📈
If you expect to hit every single shot straight & pure, you are setting yourself up for a major let down. The comparable to this is hitting your one rep max every time you’re in the gym. Work to improve your majority! Look to improve your overall shot dispersion pattern. (1of2).
Stop measuring your results. Start measuring your actions. If you aren’t happy with where you’re at, chances are you don’t need anything “new”. You need to do the work. If you don’t want to do the work, you aren’t interested in growing right now. Be honest with yourself 🧐🧐🧐
If you’re trying to win, stack small wins. If your trying to change, stack small changes. If you’re trying to grow, enjoy the daily pursuit of better. If you want to improve, make the “small” things the most important to you. The big things come from stacking the small things 💯
If you’re trying to change your golf swing, you MUST first asses if the body is capable of moving the way you’d like it to. You need strength & mobility to move your body. If you’ve been struggling to see your changes, it may be a lack of strength or mobility. #BodySwingsTheClub
If you train properly, your brain will grab at the system you taught and showed it will solve the problem 💯 train with a plan to execute. ALWAYS. #REGolf
Your body doesn’t know the difference between the range & the 1st tee. Your brain knows an external stimulus is happening & it tries to help. If you haven’t been in this situation mentally or physically, your brain is going to grab at things. Hence, overthinking. (1of2)
Make changes to your technique for a reason. If your golf ball isn’t responding how you’d like or you have pain when you swing, a technique change may be in your best interest. Evaluate the result or outcome you don’t like and make adjustments! Don’t change just to change…
No one wants to struggle, it’s not fun. But struggling has two outcomes: it’s too hard & you quit, Or.. it lights a fire inside you that allows you to dig in and grow. Growth is not linear, neither is improving your golf game. You have to work through struggle and embrace it 💯📈
After each phase strict evaluation must take place to show the change is or is not happening. This must be black and white. Basing a swing change on what you feel is not enough. Feel and real are often different. Start slow and build 💯 you can do it, commit to it! #ChangeIsHard
Making a swing change is more than just hitting thousands of golf balls. It’s the HOW. Why the change needs to happen must make sense to you. Slowly reprogramming your CNS is next through video & mirror work without a ball. Slowly increasing the speed and flow is next. (1of2)
Most golfers say “I’ll do anything to improve.” I often ask if they would commit to bettering their physical & mental health. Some say yes, some say no. Your body moves the club & your mind controls the body.. if mind & body aren’t strengths.. we need to fix that ASAP. #BetterYou
If you are “dropping” your hands intentionally in the downswing to shallow, you are fixing a symptom. Fix the cause. Chances are you have an open face and transition steep to move your path left to square the face. Open face & steepness offset one another. #CreateBetterMatchups
The putter is the only club that can erase poor golf swings… yet is the least practiced. If you fall into this category, I highly suggest adding putting as 1/3 of your practice time. Don’t know what to practice? I’ll be over here waiting to help 🙋🏻♂️😁 #YouHaveToPuttWell2ScoreWell
@JamesHongGolf Gotta find a pattern before you make adjustments 💯 just because you took Tylenol for your headache yesterday doesn’t mean you need it today.. you need to find out if you have a headache first 😉
Changing your swing won’t always lower your score. Working on mechanics will give you the opportunity to execute a desired shot under pressure. The process you go through on course prior to swinging: target, alignment, club, wind, yardage, etc & shot execution will lower scores💯
You may know how to swing the club “correctly”, you may be working the correct drills, you may be fixing the root cause of your “swing fault” & nothing is changing. Why? Your body may not be capable of moving the way you are asking it to. Motor patterns first, golf swing second💯
I am grateful as a coach to have your trust in improving your golf game. This game means the world to me, and I want you to develop into the best player you’re willing to work toward. Let’s get to work! #REGolf#levelup#TrustTheProcess
