Swing to Your Target Ball

Stop Trying to Hit the Ball

A Simple Drill to Help Swing Through the Ball…

When the pressure is on… and you really need to hit the ball well, we tend to focus on hitting the ball. When you focus on trying to “hit” the ball, your hips stall out and you actually slow down at impact… because your mind is trying to help you make better contact. We want to rotate (read accelerate) all the way through the ball.

Place a target ball about a club’s length in front of your actual ball (on your target line). When you swing, think about swinging through your target ball. This will help you rotate your hips all the way through impact. After you reach a position that feels like you swung through your target ball, then you can start slowing down.

Discover effortless power in your swing with The Full Body Swing.

Every time he hits a ball it bounces back to him perfectly. Hilarious.

My English is quite poor and I also don't hear well because of my semi deafness.
Do you have the videos subtitles translated into Spanish or any other solution?
Thanks

So are you taking your eyes OFF the white ball when swinging and looking at the target ball??? We have been taught NEVER take your eyes off the white ball!!!! So which is it?

I like to use the term "rest your eyes." When you "look" at and focus on the white ball, your mind thinks of the white ball as your target. Rest your eyes on the white ball but have your mind on swinging through to the target ball.

The average golfer is just going to lunge at the ball with this swing thought in mind. "How am I going to get to the ball" is the question here.

The idea is to swing through the white ball on your way to the target ball. This way you don't slow down trying to "hit" the white ball.
