00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
This concept video is are you trying to improve rep to rep or are you trying to

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:04.840
repeat?

3
00:00:04.840 --> 00:00:10.740
So I had a good discussion with a buddy of mine, John Sinclair and he was

4
00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:12.920
talking about some research that he did

5
00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:17.440
You know really casually, but he did some research with tour pros looking at

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.120
consistency

7
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.120
and they did the same research with

8
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.750
Amateurs and looking at consistency and one of the really interesting things

9
00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:25.960
that he found was that

10
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.840
Tour pros when he just told him okay. I want you to hit 10 shots

11
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:34.720
just hit him pretty much exactly the same 10 shots 10 shots 10 shots and

12
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:37.360
Tour pros were able to

13
00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:42.480
Consistently repeat a lot of the numbers angle of attack path face alignment to

14
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:43.760
pretty good tolerances

15
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.580
Amateurs were pretty much only able to control the path now. He's got a cool

16
00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:50.680
studio in

17
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:55.770
Between Dallas and Fort Worth and what he did was he re-ran the study, but he

18
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:59.440
closed the net so that Amateurs couldn't see the ball flight

19
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.480
What was interesting was now that the Amateurs couldn't see the ball flight

20
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.480
They were able to repeat their swings much more consistently

21
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.640
So they were almost able to have as much

22
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.620
Consistency as the tour pro when they couldn't see ball flight and they were

23
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:18.660
just focused on making the same swing

24
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.960
time after time again, so it leads to a couple more questions, but

25
00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:29.720
What it gets me thinking about is that basically many times Amateurs

26
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.560
Hit a shot and then they try to correct the ball flight where a tour pro is

27
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.320
going to get their swing to a point where

28
00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:42.600
It may not be a perfect ball ball flight, but it has a playable pattern and

29
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:45.080
playable miss so at least

30
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.410
Some part during your practice and during your training should be shifting from

31
00:01:50.410 --> 00:01:53.760
trying to optimize and trying to improve every single rep

32
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.290
to just trying to repeat and kind of dial in the pattern or fine-tune the

33
00:01:59.290 --> 00:01:59.760
pattern

34
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.360
because

35
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:06.640
While you may not be able to duplicate the tour pro performance

36
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.630
Are the way our movement patterns work you're capable of repeating it to a high

37
00:02:12.630 --> 00:02:14.760
enough level and John's

38
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.520
Study there showed that while they might have been hitting like big blocks

39
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.770
That wouldn't be going at their target or they might have been hitting, you

40
00:02:24.770 --> 00:02:25.480
know, pulls

41
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:30.800
They were able to repeat the same swing once they took trying to correct it and

42
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.040
trying to hit the perfect shot out of play

43
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:37.480
I've talked with many good players and during when you're on the course

44
00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:41.000
It's more important to know your pattern and make some

45
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:47.260
And try and make a consistent repeatable swing rather than try to hit the

46
00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:48.880
optimal or the perfect shot

47
00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:51.680
So part of your practice

48
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.930
Let's say you start by working on some mechanics and then you do some games at

49
00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:56.040
some point

50
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:59.290
especially if you're getting ready to play if scoring is something that is

51
00:02:59.290 --> 00:03:01.680
important to you you have to go from

52
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.590
Trying to improve every single swing to trying to repeat and just trying to

53
00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:10.440
memorize and and own the pattern that you're currently developing

54
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:14.040
If you don't do that, you're always going to struggle with consistency and

55
00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:15.680
performance issues on the course
