Striking a golf ball solidly is a skill, not a talent. Some are naturally better than others at it, but everyone
can build skill towards the end result of good ball striking.
The best swing practice session sequence to build that skill is as follows:
- Short swings, slow motion, no ball, executed with perfect technique
- Short swings, half speed, no ball, executed with perfect technique
- Short swings, normal speed, with ball, executed with perfect technique
- Full swings, slow motion, no ball, executed with perfect technique
- Full swings, half speed, no ball, executed with perfect technique
- Full swings, normal speed, with ball, executed with perfect technique
Make sure you have consistent tempo with every normal speed swing.
Don't rush to the next step in the process, be patient. The amount of time you'll spend on any one step
will be different from person to person, and from practice session to practice session.
Don't advance a step until you have done the previous step perfectly. If the step involves
actually striking a ball, strive for 7 out of 10 excellent strikes.
If you can develop the self discipline to practice this way on the range with full concentration, you'll get
better. Period
