Swing thoughts?

[jim8flog]

I try to have just 2 swing thoughts
1. Where is this ball going
2. How is it going to get there

Thanks, I might try slowing things down a little, I might be letting frustration get the better of me & speed up in practice sessions.. I'll give the 2 second pause a go, see if my brain can catch up

If I’m working on Tempo ( my biggest problem I get to quick) I put a T on my glove where I can see it at adress!

H for head
TH thumb etc.
It’s just a mental note.

Just don’t put more than one or your glove or looks like a book

Problem I have with this…is that you suggest doing things such as ‘setting the wrists’ - and though that’s part of how the golf swing has (traditionally?) been taught - it sounds complicated…and my belief is there is no need whatsoever for beginners (especially) to be wondering what on earth ‘setting my wrists’ is, or does - and trying to achieve it. Of course I’m not saying it’s not right, it just seems too complicated. And hitting a golf ball reasonably well and consistently is not that difficult, unless we decide to make it so - and it might actually just be that words, not the practice, that makes it seem so.

No need to have a problem, it's not your swing.
And if you read my post again I clearly said ''Don't set the wrists on the backswing'' so not complicated at all.

'Not setting my wrists' is my thought to not overswing which was my main problem when I would get across the line at the top. Real and feel.
Of course, I do set my wrists, I just don't over set them.
And who mentioned beginners?
I was answering the OPs question which wasn't 'what are your swing thoughts', it was ''how do you remember your swing thoughts''? And as he's off 7.5, he's hardly a beginner and probably knows how to set his wrists.

Maybe if you read more carefully what was written down, and not what you think was written, you'd have less of a problem and less of a need to criticise.

Not criticising just making a general observation on the subject matter

I've recently changed my set-up to something resembling the Eureka swing, so my only swing thoughts are related to that really. Making sure I've set up correctly, then on the practise swing I have to think about taking it back on the inside rather than picking the club up outside the line. I'm also thinking about not over-swinging on the way back, as I'm trying to get back to the slightly shortened backswing that I've played well with in the past.

But once I get to the top of the backswing there are no more thoughts as it all happens too quickly. You can think about alignment, set-up and takeaway/backswing in my opinion, but after that instinct takes over and I'm just hoping I strike it well. Usually if I've done those three things correctly there's a much better chance that I will.

I find that anymore than one for a swing does not work. However, I do have different swing thoughts for the type of shot I am playing.

Preparation I have done, swing thoughts none I have.

I don’t have any swing thoughts. I have a shot visualisation and address process that I follow for every shot and let the swing take care of itself. So swing thoughts? None. They get in the way and confuse.

Very much this but one thought of keep it smooth back and through

I love watching Iona and this latest video is interesting on this topic...
