Swing Keys (V2)

My go-to swing keys at the moment. The goal is to familiarize myself with these so they eventually become second-nature.

PRE-SHOT ROUTINE
  • G.A.S.P. (Grip, Aim, Stance, Posture)
  • Take 1 or 2 meaningful practice swings. Last chance to think swing thoughts.
  • Visualize the line of your shot and where you want the ball to land.
  • Address the ball, align yourself to the target line, and let it fly!

SWING THOUGHTS
  • STAY LOOSE; NO TENSION
  • GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE BALL POSITION
  • MINIMIZE TIME OVER BALL
  • SMOOTH TEMPO ( 1-2 )
  • ROTATE ON SPINE ANGLE
  • SHORTER BACKSWING
  • PULL CLUB DOWN; DON'T CAST
  • HIPS START DOWNSWING
  • POST UP ON LEFT LEG
  • ACCELERATE TO IMPACT
  • CLEAR HIPS, STAY BACK
