I usually count in my head to maintain rhythm! What tips do you all have to improve follow-through?

For follow-through, try to extend your arms fully after contact. It not only helps consistency but also builds power. Practice drills like slow swings can help engrain this.

Great advice! Also, using training aids like weighted clubs can really help with muscle memory. Has anyone tried that?

Training aids can be hit or miss, but Iā€™ve found them very helpful! Just remember, consistency is key ā€“ both in practice and during your rounds.

Honestly, hitting the sweet spot consistently takes time and practice. Donā€™t get discouraged; even the pros had to work at it!

Thanks for the reassurance! Itā€™s sometimes frustrating, but Iā€™ll keep working at it. Any specific drills you recommend for this?

Try the ā€˜Tee Drillā€™ where you place a tee on the ground and focus on hitting it during practice swings. It really helps you feel the sweet spot!

Finding the sweet spot on an iron is crucial for consistent ball flight. Itā€™s where the most energy transfer occurs. Knowing this can drastically improve your scores!

Absolutely, and using impact tape can really help you see where youā€™re hitting the ball on the clubface. Itā€™s simple but effective!

Iā€™ve noticed with my launch monitor that the ball flight is quite different depending on the impact location. Itā€™s fascinating how small changes can lead to big results!

You mentioned impact tapeā€”Iā€™ve found it so eye-opening! Seeing those marks can motivate you to adjust your swing to hit that sweet spot more often.

Launch monitors are great for analyzing swing speed too! Itā€™s all connected.

Ball flight is all about consistency! You can hit the sweet spot and still slice it if your path is off. Iā€™ve learned to focus on both aspects.

So true! Itā€™s like trying to bake a cake and forgetting the sugarā€”the end result is off!

Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by all the tech available? I just want a straightforward way to improve. Sometimes it feels like too much info!

I get that! But focusing on where you make contact can simplify things. Start there!

Interesting discussion! Iā€™m starting to think about how my grip affects impact. Has anyone analyzed that with their setup?
