Swing thoughts

[Snelly]

None. They are counter-productive. As Sam Snead said "when over the ball, empty your mind...."

I just visualise the shot i wana play ,then just tell myself its the right club no need to try kill it ..

Then set-up and play my shot.

I try not to think while I'm over the ball. I used to but found it counter productive.

ill have more if im trying to either put a bigger fade than usual or a bit of a draw.

Keep your head down is my only thought.

 

[big_russ]

Two thoughts for me, left shoulder down and arms in. If this happens then the remainder of the swing follows on as necessary.

 

[Region3]

Yes, but I try to make them more 'feelings' than thoughts and only have 2.

So for me it's perm any 2 from about 6.

Keep your head down is my only thought.

'STILL' not down would be better Louise, however it does depend on the situation

Currently before the take away.
Keep the arms in and slow things down.

Currently "feel inside" on the back swing (to stop me taking the club back outside the line) and "extend" on the follow through to help stop me pull my shots.

Probably thinking about the wrong things!

Each and every one of us are different so I guess there is no 'right' answer to this question but.......

When you swing to hit the ball do you have any swing thoughts ?

Used to have a heap of checks more than thoughts i suppose......
But now once im happy im square with everything i just say to myself "Nice and slow and watch it go"

Hi, I'm 4 months into playing golf and the best thought I've found when getting preparing to swing is to relax and let your shoulders fall to their natural position.

All to often, I tense up through the concentration and anticipation of the shot so the last thing I think of is "am I hunched up?". Usually I am, and like I mentioned, I allow my shoulders to drop. This gives me a far more consistent swing (albeit still flawed - but less flawed).

Stop at the top! Thanks bob

 

[Evesdad]

Far too many at the moment. Best strikes always come from shots when I rush funnily enough. Say I've hit wrong fairway, I just walk up, line up and swing. Bingo nice flight distance etc. hit my fairway and it's going anywhere!!

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I don't think I have any - which is nice

 

[Foxholer]

1 - Keep your bloody head down!

Aaaaargh!!!!

I have 3 at the moment, back, hinge, and release, the big one at the moment for me is the releasing as my pro altered my grip a bit at my lesson on friday and ive got the back and hinge bit going fine but unless i fully release i shank it, so thats the main one, the other ones are just little reminders really

My main thought is to keep it smooth and slow on the down swing; my back swing seems to take care of its self. I tend to accelerate on my down swing too much. So I have to think about it
