SLOW MOTION: Not Just A Camera Trick

what's up guys welcome back to work harder Wednesday installment number five we're talking about slowing it down roll the intro [Music] [Music] no training aids no tools this is just another week talking about a technique a method a drill call it whatever you want this week I'm talking about making slow-motion golf swings and why it's something I do why it's something a lot of players do and I think it's something that you should do I used to you know make slow rehearsals behind the golf ball in your when you're working on swing changes when you're working on a motion or trying to exaggerate something you make slower rehearsal golf swing it's a very common thing for most golfers to do you want to feel a position so you do it in slow motion to accentuate to heighten the sensation in the field but doing it slow speed half speed quarter speed and actually a golf ball is really really really beneficial and it's something that I highly recommend you guys put into your practice routine my coach Dan character put me on this and it's something that we do whenever we're working on something and it's something that I do almost every day in my practice routines I've always add ten fifteen or twenty slow-motion golf swings the slow motion golf swing while hitting a golf ball helps me really feel what it is I'm trying to accomplish in the golf swing at any given time right now the thing that we are working on is allowing me to feel a little more open through impact as opposed to tilting up and almost kind of closing myself off through impact so I make golf swings let's say if I have an 8-iron that I'm actually only trying to hit a hundred yards but I'm still making a full golf swing I'm still hitting the golf ball but I'm doing it at such a slow down tempo that I can feel instantly if I did it and then when you when you roll into doing it with driver doing it with with sand wedges you can do it with any club in the bag and it just really gives you an instant feeling instant feedback on if you are doing what you to do or not if you don't if you can't accomplish it you won't hit it well if you struggle with maintaining a good rhythm in your golf swing it's gonna show it right away so the slow motion golf swing is really great for accentuating emotion a change a pattern but it's also something that really really helps tie in really good rhythm and rhythm is everything rhythm is something that I always fall back on if I haven't played for a while if I'm not playing well if I'm a little bit out of sorts great rhythm is everything so this practice drill this slow-motion golf swing if you're not in rhythm you're gonna chunk it you're gonna thin it you're gonna hit it poorly and you're gonna know right away that you weren't in rhythm so the slow motion the 50% speed the the 30% speed whatever works in your brain the best in terms of what you want to call it what you want to think of it as it's really gonna help you with your rhythm it's gonna help you with feeling some of those swing changes and at the end of the day it's gonna help you take something onto the golf course because the brain and the body really click when we slow it down and really exaggerate and accentuate the motion wanna do and tying into a couple weeks ago when I talked about the practice chunks and the balls doing 10 to 15 slow motion golf swings getting shots is really really going to help your practice sessions it's gonna fill some time it may take you 15 minutes may take you 20 minutes but the slow motion golf swing is something that many instructors use with their with their students slowing things down really does do a lot of good and it kind of combats the notion in golf because when things are going awry we didn't actually want to speed things up just slow it down smooth it out get in that rhythm and I promise you it will help you practice sessions and that's kind of it pretty basic work harder Wednesday today nothing groundbreaking but I think it's something that's often overlooked so I hope this is something that you like I hope it's something that will help your game so let me know down below if it's something you do let me know if it's something you're going and then let me know how it works how you like it give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you're not subscribed and I will see you guys next Wednesday
