What are your "go-to" swing thoughts, by swing?
Thought it would be interesting to hear what everything holds as their swing thought on different clubs and/or shots. I am sure a bunch will say "a million things at once" (haha), but, maybe some of us have been lucky enough to narrow it down to just one pre-swing and one during the swing.
Here are mine:
Driver -
Head turned back behind the ball before I swing, long slow sweeping takeaway (it actually goes quick though haha), and I think "stay back" with my head and weight through impact.
3 wood -
Sweeping take away, hit the inside back quadrant of the ball, good extension on the follow through.
Irons -
Make a small forward press to initiate the swing, smooth tempo, hit the inside back quadrant of the ball. At the top of the swing, I feel like I lock the hinge in my wrists.
Wedges -
Full shots:
Hit down aggressively, hands go at the target for as long as they can after impact.
Half wedges:
Hinge and hold.
Putter -
Putt into the picture, keep the arc of the stroke the same as I feel when working with my Putting Arc.
A lot of this happens naturally, but I try to only have one thought while swinging. If I have a swing issue I have identified and found a fix, that is always my swing thought of the moment and I trust the rest is engrained well enough.
I need to head to bed since the game is almost over now, and a day at the office is coming too soon in the morning, but I'll get some different shot thoughts up tomorrow...like draw, fade, punch, stinger, one-hop-and-stop wedge, flop, etc.
