Quit Chasing Your Tail and Give Long-Term Improvement a Chance (Ep.76)

 

Listen to the podcast episode now:

Lately, I’ve been really simplifying my practice. In my career, whenever I’ve been struggling, I’ve always found that the solutions were far more simple than I would have ever imagined. 

Take a step back and focus on the basics for a while. It’s human nature to chase the next quick fix, but you’re not ever going to be able to totally sidestep the work it takes to truly improve. 

Athletic stance, alignment, grip. That’s it for pre-swing. Then, just think about soft arms and balance in the swing. Do that for a month and let me know how you’re doing.
