Really interested to hear what goes through peoples mind as they set up to the ball and their swing thoughts during the swing.

So if you have any, what are your swing thoughts for your:

Driver? :
Irons? :
Chipping? :
Bunker play? :
Putting? :
 
Driver? : DON'T try and smash it!
Irons? : Keep your height.
Chipping? : Weight on left side.
Bunker play? : Weight left and Smoooooooooth!
Putting? : Alignment and Don't look up til AFTER it's gone!
 
Anything that isnt hit with a putter I just clear my head completely, try to slow my breathing down and remain calm, and hit the ball. I was told I think too much by my pro and should feel what I was doing rather than think what I am doing.

Driver? : Keep the head still and behind the ball...Hit up...

Irons? : Head still and over the ball shoulder down and turn through the shot

Chipping? : 75% weight over the left leg,ball off the inside of my right foot, quite wrists and turn the torso with the ball.

Bunker play? : ball off the front foot,weight forward,swing full like with a driver keep the loft on the club.


Putting? : check the line first, I visualize the hole like a clock face and see where i want my putt to enter the hole at a particular number on the face. Eyes over the ball,2 practice strokes and then hit...I pause just at my feet side of the ball like the Pro's also.
 
driver = #This f*cker is going into orbit.
irons = knock the skin off it
putter = Please, not another 5 putt
 
Driver - lets see where this is going
Irons - dont shank it
Chipping - dont top, thin or chunk it here
Bunkers - please get out first time
Putting - wonder how many putts ill take here


 
I'm confused. What some of you are saying sound like how to set up which you do before you swing. Do you still think about those things after you set up?


Well Tiger as regards my own reply....I use all these at setup and then put them in the back of my mind once im comfy.
They kinda just come naturally to me now.
 
Driver? : sweep it away
Irons? : don't lift my head, roll my right wrist after contact (stops me blocking it)
Chipping? : strike down on it
Bunker play? : stay commited
Putting? : complete my stroke
