I think iv found my rhythm.

Evening all,

2nd week in a row now that i have swung at the same tempo and rhythm and have had much straighter and longer shots as well as a lot more consistent strikes.
Looks like the i10's aren't going to go down without a fight.

I think one thing we all agree on is that when you can feel the ball coming off the club you know you've hit the screws......

+9 for 18 this morning and no Sh*&Ks again......

Snelly wise words mate....Wise words.

Nice going Kid. That's some good scoring and it sounds like you're onto a winner. Tempo is one thing I'm working on and it makes such a difference when you get it right. Love that feeling of the swing feeling effortless and not even noticing the ball. Unfortunately, 2 weeks with no golf whatsoever has set me back a wee bit. Was throwing all kinds of shapes on the course this morning. Not all of them pretty...

have you been working on any particular drills?

This is so,ething I am trying to work at the moment, my bad shots always seem to be when I get a bit quick on the back swing or when I start the downswing...

When its smooth I hit it well.

I found the tempo and ball striking on the practice field this morning. By the time I got to the first tee some 50 yards away it had evaporated like the frost on the grass. Dang. The swing was down to a blur today but tempo is down the list working on the drills and changes I'm making.

Tempo or speed of your swing. Should be natural not something forced. Be it slow or fast everyone has their own tempo. It is the rhythm or smoothness that matters most of all. You can have a really fast tempo but a very smooth rhythm. On the other hand you can have a medium or slow tempo and a totally rubbish rhythm. I think to many people get tempo and rhythm confused.

I havent been working on anything at all Scott.....
I spent the last 12 months trying to draw the ball and attack it more from the inside.....I got too technical and it nearly destroyed my game.....
I v been shanking the ball for the past 4 months or so and couldnt figure out what i was doing wrong.
I had a good chat on here with Snelly a few weeks ago and my game has transformed practically overnight....

Im now swinging freely and im hitting the ball better than i ever have....The only thing that i can consciously say that i have done is weaken my grip ever so slightly...It was pretty strong and iv stood a little taller over the ball as well which has helped no end....

Iv now got a nice smooth swing with a slight left to right ball flight that can control....Happy days

He's full of wisdom that Snelly chap glad to hear its going well. I'm in a similar place where I'm hitting my irons pretty relaxed and they are going nicely. Hope it keeps getting better

Sounds good, and decent scores well played. Good job the i10 are behaving think they will good better than a bag full of bull mastiff.

Ya Tiger....Never met the man but he seems a nice chap.... a conversation that he had with me hit home....

Im blaming him for my good form anyway...I just hope that i carry it into the start of the season.
