Practice Range Routine

[Redbird]

i usually hit about 5 balls with my pw and 5 with my 8 iron and im ready to go, i usually don't warm up much on the range as much as i do for the practice putting green

I warm up a little without clubs.

1) I hit about 10-15 balls with my wedge.
2) I move through all my Irons hitting 5 balls with each iron
3) I hit 10 balls with my 3 wood
4) I go back to my 5-6-7 Iron
5) I hit 10 balls with my driver
6) I work on draws and fades with my long Irons

I like to mix up the irons and the woods. I don't like hitting 30 straight with my driver. I never hit more than 10 shots at a time with my driver. I might hit 30 shots with it each practice session but never more than 10 at a time.

This routine takes about an hour and probably 150-200 balls.

No practice routine really yet. Plan on working alot on short game chipping cause I tend to fly the green or get absolutely no loft when close. Give up alot of strokes that way. Gonna use the "pick a target" method for wedges on the range, as well as get ranges for each club. Alot of work, but worth every minute.

When I first started, my practice routine at a range was very different.

This routine was for muscle memory:

1 - slight stretching and a short iron (PW) for a few warm up swings.

Usually 5-10 balls hit in batches of 3-5 balls in fairly rapid succession. No reason to stand over a practice warm up shot over thinking. Hit.. re-address, hit... re-address... no thinking just do then think about the goods and bads of those 5 swings after to make adjustments before the next cycle.

I then would hit low iron 2-3 batches and work up to the driver in 2 club increments.

The only club I allowed myself to tee up is the driver, everything else MUST be hit off the deck. Grass (no mats) as well.

Focused game improvement method:

My new routine has a more focused approach for areas of my swing that need work. Could be more driver, hybrid or long iron focused. All full swings focused on understanding how to work the ball and the impact of modifications to swing speed, plane, weight shift...

If I want to work 8 iron through pitching wedge and short game / puttting, I head out to the par 3 for a few hours. Best money I spend all year for real game improvement.

I still use the batch quick re-address method to avoid over thinking shots. This is the single GREATEST practice tip for me personally.

I do switch between club lengths much more often like I am playing a round so 2-3 drivers, then 2-3 wedges / short iron into the green is common.

It depends on the SOTS (State of the swing). If in repair mode, I tinker with a mid-iron till I find the fault.

Usually, I am trying to ingrain a feeling, stronger move from the bottom. Turn over the face faster.

I don't stick with one particular iron for a long time and switch around alot. Short irons to mid to long to driver to short to fairway wood.

I sometimes use impact spray. Use an alignment aid most of the time.

Sometimes I try crazy stuff. Swing only with the left arm. Swing from the knees. Hit crazy hooks and slices.

Pretty simple routine at the range really.

I generally hit about 80% of the balls with nothing more than my 56 degree SW and I hit them to the 70 yard marker. From there I'll hit some PW's to the 120 and then move my way up through the bag with the balls I have left until I hit three or four with my driver.
