Full swing
One-Thought Block
A full swing drill for the Development stage, on the range, in about 20 minutes.
Builds swing consistency by isolating a single, simple thought for an entire block of balls instead of trying to fix everything at once.
- Standard
- Solo
- Development
Equipment
- mid-iron
- 20 balls
Steps
- 01Pick one simple swing thought for the whole block, such as tempo or grip.
- 02Hit the first 5 balls with that one thought only.
- 03Check in after 5 balls: was the thought held the whole swing?
- 04Continue through 20 balls with the same single thought, resisting the urge to add a second fix.
- 05At the end, note whether the thought became easier to hold as the block went on.
Target
Try to hold the one thought for more balls in a row than earlier in the block.
