They have 8 seconds to pull the trigger!

We will discuss and go through some of the swing mechanics together as I help them get the club into the correct positions. We will talk about any questions that come up with regard to positioning of club, body, etc. Once they get over the ball though, they have an 8 second rule to start their swing. Through the years I have watched as the “paralysis” starts and the tension grows so I tell all my students that once they get over the ball they have 8 seconds to pull the trigger! It really is a long time so if they can go sooner great. I have found that this along with having them close their eyes prior to taking the club back helps to reduce the amount of tension they feel and allows them to swing the club better.
