For the last few weeks I've been having a ball striking feast. Hitting the ball better than I ever have. Today I went out and couldn't do anything right. Push, hook, slice, top - you name it. I have been playing a lot of Tiger Woods 10 with the Wii motion plus (awesome game). I think I've been playing it so much, that I've incorporated my Wii swing into my real swing. I really do think so.

I don't really fully understand the reason for this post, other than I think it's somewhat humorous. Has anyone else ever felt this way? At least I broke 60 the other day...in the video game, of course.

I can understand it completely.

I had the same thoughts concerning the Wii and TW games. Kinda makes me glad I don't own one.

Just like anything else it will become muscle memory. Having said that I haven't played the game but I doubt a person wants to incorporate a "Wii swing" into their real swing, which could very well happen if you play it very much.

Wow sounds odd. The only thing different between wii and reality is tempo. You should work on that. It's most likely the reason for your mistakes.

I can't imagine swinging a shaft-less light weight wii remote would negatively impact your golf swing. Mentally, they are two completely different things and I don't find it hard to treat it as such.

Case in point: My Tiger 2010 handicap is scratch. My real handicap...

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
