As I observed the ball flight,
I was surprised that it was
farther than my usual shot. It
was a slightly offline to the
right, but as I continued, the
ball striking became more
precise and my ball flight
became more accurate.
After hitting several irons, I
was ready for the big swing.
I moved on to a 3-wood
and was happily surprised
to discover my new twisting
motion was working.
I had not been happy with
my old driver and since
I was hitting this 3-wood
much better, it also became
a permanent fixture in my
bag.
My son’s loss was my Gain.
During my practice session,
I discovered the secret of
using the core properly to
execute the most powerful
twist, and also added a new
three wood in my bag, big
bonus.
The question remained,
however, could I implement
my new twist on the course?
The answer was swift in
revealing itself. I hit one of
my best drives ever on the
very first tee. It was straight
and 20-30 yards longer than
normal.
A strong sense of body
awareness is the key to
being able to make needed
changes in your swing. A
regular mind-body practice
such as yoga is one way to
develop this awareness.
Give these ideas a try to see
how it “feels” in your own
swing.
