The "what are your goals" thread got me thinking about this. I won't have the time to play much this summer, however, there is a range right by my house. I find it very relaxing to hit balls, but aside from that, how much would going there consistently actually help my game? Obviously there are some things you won't be able to work on, but how valuable is hitting a large bucket everyday for your swing? Is it valuable at all? I've heard differing opinions on this in the past.

So long as you're hitting balls with good mechanics, practicing is great for your swing. But, you want to make sure that you're not practicing bad habits.

Just have a purpose when you're practicing. Don't go blast 100 drivers in 30 minutes. Spend half your time on pitch shots. Just concentrate on hitting the ball solid. Do 30yd, then 40, 50, etc. Tempo, tempo, tempo. Then your driver will a piece of cake.

If you're practicing sound mechanics with a purpose, no one should give you a different opinion than its extremely helpful.

Pick a target for every shot and watch its result. So many people just hit the ball and reach for another. So pointless.

I'm a pretty good range hitter, I'd say, in terms of productivity. I usually don't even bring my driver, I just grab a wedge, a 7, and a 4. I might even over think everything.

Hitting off a mat is much differnt from turf, how ever if you take it seriosly and take your time and hit at targets your doing yourself well. Dont practice your hook or slice over and over.

Definitely hit off of grass if you can, and definitely have a specific target. Give your mind some feedback as well, when you hit a good one tell your mind "nice shot, or thats the way to do it" when you hit one not as intended use it as feedback and try not to be judgemental"went to far left, hit it a little thin, too far right" avoid "that sucked and that was horrible" These mental tips will help train your subconcious.

Practice does not make perfect
Perfect practice makes perfect. Keep that in mind. If you do not have a specific goal/target/thought before every swing you are just wasting your time. |
