Episode notes
Warm Up And Practice With A Clear Goal
- Warm up before practice with simple swings and stretches to wake up the muscles.
- Start with short swings, set a clear goal, and build sequencing and balance progressively.
Slow Practice Trains Sequencing
- Slow-motion, controlled practice improves sequencing and balance more than always swinging full bore.
- 'Swing easy, hit hard' means produce speed in the right place while keeping balance.
Use The Upside Down 'Whoosh' Drill
- Do the Upside Down Drill by swinging a club flipped over to hear the 'whoosh' after the ball.
- Use the sound feedback to learn where the club should accelerate and to sequence lower-body movement.
