Hey Guys,

My instructor is doing some swing changes (Of Course). How do you go from slow motion to a quicker speed?

My changes were wrist cocking so shaft is at parallel faster, right forearm on my rib cage and also have the butt of the club for outwards instead of steep.

Welp, you have to learn to walk, before you can run..What I did, and still do is, say for an 8 iron shot, a slow swing would be, from the take away, a count of 1001, 1002, 1003, 1003 being at impact. Of course, you can go even slower if you wanted to. To maintain a nice even tempo, and cadence for my swing, a count to 1002 works pretty well for me.

Also, you can do this with 1/2 and 3/4 shots to get a good cadence. Oh, and helps if you count it out aloud.

Welcome to the site.

I would suggest you just gradually pick up the speed. If you feel like you're swinging at 30% speed when you practice, make some swings at 60%, then some at 80%, etc. When you go to full speed there will be some regression, some of the old habits will still be there but the overall motion will be better.

    • Rory!!  What a great round. 
    • Oh great, now that the door opened last year, he thinks he owns the place and waltz in for another jacket anytime he wants. Kids these days. Such entitlement. 😜
    • I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.
    • Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now. 
    • A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.
