2 Swing at 40-to-60 percent of your maximum speed ● Many golfers get very quick when they lose their swing, so it’s good to slow everything down, especially your tempo. When you get over the ball, take a few deep breaths, long exhales, and relax your upper body. Then, have the feeling that you’re swinging at 40-to-60 percent of your maximum speed. This calmer tempo will help sync up your arms and body and get you swinging normal again.
3 Play with your feet together for better balance, control ● Some of our students have discov- ered that the easiest way to regain their feel is to play a hole with their feet close together ( right ). This simplifies your motion and gets you more centred and in balance. It also helps you feel more present in your body, so you don’t start overthinking. After playing a hole with your feet together, try narrowing your normal stance, and if that feels good, then go back to standing wider.
