In my original post, the 'same thing' in relation to block practice of = 'how to handle the steering' not 'exact same turn 100 times'. There's a meaningful difference. Hope that clears the confusion. In any case I made a larger point in favor of block practice, ya know, repetition of a specific piece if done mindfully as a good thing, which I think is very much on topic. Matt's post ask a good question about learning a new motor pattern. Like how would you randomize 'make sure the club head goes outside the hands in the bs'? I would think it is literally the same move a 100 times = block practice right? -
Day 437 - 2025-12-11 Got some backswing work done on GEARS today after testing out a few things. Backswing looking pretty good, generally speaking. I can… Hinge a little earlier. Stay right a little longer. Keep a little trail knee flex. I'll continue with that the rest of December, then re-assess. It may go to the middle of January or so, before I can do the downswing stuff again. -
That post confused me. It's kinda been the whole topic here. Literally doing the same exact thing over and over again = block practice.

Day 31 (11 Dec 25) - Regripped my #1 putter and spent some time rolling the rock. Worked on lagging the ball to set distances (ladder drill) and overall tempo. -
If that's what defines block practice, then no, I haven't either. But the point is there is limited or no variable repetition required to learn steering/car turn relationship. I certainly have seen people repeat a bar '100 times' in learning a piano piece until they hit the notes in the right sequence and the right timing/tempo, before they move to the next bar and so on and forth. I listened to Dr. R's podcast twice now, to make sure I'm not misunderstanding. It seems block practice is being equated to mindless hitting by some and deservedly gets a bad rap if so. I like what he said but think people can do 'random' just as mindlessly. I am preaching to the choir here but from my perspective this boils down to the being specific and mindful in your practice. Hitting 50 straight seven irons has it's value if it is done to specifically learn a hand position before delivery (random eg.), since the feel they are trying to internalize is universal regardless of the club. Eventually they need to vary the club to replicate the same feeling to add more variables.
