    Excellent content. I found this while struggling to implement a swing change. This is just what I needed. Cheers

      Great to hear. Sometimes we just need a reminder of the reality of making a change. It takes time and discipline and lots of good repetitions to change a pattern. Good luck

    Really needed to hear this! Had a lesson and went to the range not being able to find the feeling I had in the lesson where I was puring it. Need to start slow and work to it!!

      I'd also recommend writing down in a little notepad, the personal "feelings" you had during your lesson. That way you'll have a better chance of recalling it when you go away from your lesson. I hope that helps.

    Right on Danny, best advise I've heard for a long time. 👍

      Thanks for the feedback, Peter. Good to be honest with what it actually takes as so many golfers get frustrated when they can't take a change immediately out on to the golf course.

    Question for you Danny.
    I took a few lessons this summer. Each lesson was the same. I was swaying away from the target on the back swing. Of course hitting the ground before the ball. It’s winter now so I’m hitting into a net in my garage and reviewing the video. I’m just working on that backswing. That’s it, for the past few weeks. Practicing everyday for varying lengths of time.
    My improved backswing is slowly beginning to become ingrained and comfortable. But I must monitor myself with video, or I regress back to that sway.
    Is it this hard to change or am I missing something?

      Hi Scott, thank you for your comment.
      Swing changes, really do take time. New movement patterns require a regular feedback loop, such as with video and/or training aids to ensure you're doing the movement correctly. I'd also check to see if there's any physical limitations that might be making the sway more likely to happen. If there's no limitation then it can be just a matter of working on it, alot, and finding the correct drills and feels to change that pattern.
      What I would also add, is that when working on the new movement, don't be too concerned with your shot outcomes. Focus on movement quality first, we call this blocked practice. Then I would also add in to your practice session some skill work. Such as, can you hit the ground at the correct spot more often, using things such as strike spray to mark a point on your mat in the garage. By combining a movement pattern change, with skill work, you'll be sure to be on the right path to improving your low point control.
      I hope that helps.

    How would you go about changing a motion you simply can't feel? I play darts, and recently I found a flaw in my throwing motion through video analysis, which I wasn't aware of before, and I can't feel it during the throw because it happens so quickly. How do you make a change to something like that? I've tried pushing a desired motion to the extreme to get a feeling of what too much change is like and then hopefully settling on somewhere in the middle but I find in pressure situations when I don't want to think of technique, I end up reverting to old motor patterns.

      Great question. I can only speak for the golf swing. But old motor patterns are tough to change, and in pressure situations the body will often revert back to it's familiar pattern. That's why drills, and lots of them, can be an effective way of starting to own that new movement pattern. But it takes time, lots of quality reps, and patience. Feedback is also key when working on new movements to understand feel vs real. Good luck!

      @@dannymalcolmgolfI have a fatal flaw where my self taught swing is very very armsy and flippy. I can’t even keep the right wrist back on a 1/4 pitch. Driving me crazy. Can do 5 practice swings where it’s all there but can’t do it with a ball. I’m reconciled to the fact I may need a couple thousand reps without ball. Problem is when I take it to the course there’s a chance I can’t hit the ball AT ALL. A real struggle and so tempting to go back to old swing which has no future but which I can time up to sort of work.

      I agree, it probably could be much shorter. But there's no harm in people listening to the reality of what it takes for a little longer. At least it's sound advice and good information. Thank you for your feedback.
