I take a nice smooth practice swing a couple of times, I focus on a smooth controlled and fast stroke, then:

I settle over the ball,
I pause for a moment and relax the grip,
I swing smoothly to the top if the backswing,
And then it's DIE BALL DIE!!!
I SMASH YOU MILES

Oh, dear, no, it's all gone wrong again, topping it or slicing it!

Then I walk to the ball asking why I've done it! Again! And Again!!

Tasmanian devil. Tempo tempo tempo. I use to have to slow it down to a blur and was so inconsistent. Now with a better swing, I've got the room to swing and can trust it to swing better and slower. I still have days when the club breaks the sound barrier but these are getting fewer

If I hadn't seen who posted this I'd have sworn it was the famed Blackmoor Chipmeister! :D
