Good deal. Hope it does some good for your game! I have yet to trust my swing with a pro. Never taken a lesson in my life. maybe I'm afraid of having to make too many changes, since my swing is not "textbook". Maybe I'm just too much of a control freak to let someone else take control of my game. Or maybe it's because I view teaching pros kind of like Chiropractors, in that once you go for a few sessions you have to keep going back all the time...

I can see that. I was afraid to go as well. I have been playing for a while and finally decided to go. What got me was I finally saw myself on video at the beginning of this year and noticed some things that were off. I decided to go this guy I am seeing now. I haven't had to make many big changes, they are all quite small because my swing is fairly close as it is. It is just hard for me to see things in my swing by myself and my friends don't know what to look for. I always heard that feel is not necessarily real as far as what you are doing in your swing. I didn't feel like I was doing some of the things I was actually doing within my swing....I was kind of amazed!

That's an interesting question. I think that's what's going to have to happen at the next Pepsi Tour event I play. Its nice to see crowds. I will definitely let everyone know what's coming up.

Here is a list of Mini tours.

Mini Tours

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

    • 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.
