Distance, accuracy, or consistency? Which of the three would you like to put more into your golf swing as of right now?

For me, I think I got the accuracy and distance on point. What I need now is to get more of those good swings and I'm trying to fix that by getting a better swing plane.

Definitely consistency. You can have poor accuracy or distance but still be able to manage your game and score well because you know your game and can find ways to play quality golf.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

Without a doubt, it would be consistency.

As soon as I have that, I'm touring.

Posted
Accuracy. If I can hit the green from 150-180, I can make birdies.

At first I was going to go with consistency. What if you are a bad player though. I wouldn't want to be consistently bad. I'll take accuracy.

Accuracy. I'm just not hitting it very close right now.

If I choose accuracy, would that mean I hit accurately every shot? In other words, would I consistently hit it accurately?

In that case, I'd choose accuracy and get constancy as a bonus...

I had to pick consistency, get rid of a few bad holes today and I would have been high 70s/low 80s.

I think accuracy comes with being consistent so I chose accuracy.

I guess anyone can hit accurate shots once and a while but how often can they do it? Its a pretty tough choice between the two.

definitely consistency. If I know what is going to happen every time I swing the club, then I can score. Does me no good to be accurate if half the time I am hitting some kind of horrible shot.

I think that if you're consistent, you'll gain the other two because you'll understand your swing.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Mudfish, has a point, how can you actually have either distance or accuracy without consistancy? I think the poll should ask if you want distance or accuracy. In which case the answer for all of us should be accuracy.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

You can have distance without consistency. But to be accurate...

The state of being accurate; freedom from mistakes You can't have that without consistency.

When you say accuracy, do you mean straight toward the target, regardless of whether there was proper distance control? Would that include thins, tops, and fatsies? Does distance imply hitting a long ball or distance control? Does consistency mean making the same mistake every time? This poll makes my head hurt.

It totally depends on where you are with your game I think. For me, on days when I am playing like I know I am capable I feel that my accuracy is really good and my distance is acceptable. So, I'd be a much lower handicap if I could get rid of those bad rounds every once in a while. That takes consistency.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
