Hello.
I am Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
And today's video was inspired by a lesson that I gave during the week to a client.
And ah it's all really about how to make a swing change.
So when we make a swing change.
How do we go about it and how long do we persevere for it.
So if you are interested in this topic stay tuned.

Ok so if you are new to this channel.
Welcome.
This channel is all about helping you play better golf.
I am into my 33rd year of being a golf pro so along the way I have picked up a little
bit about what works and what doesn't work.
And as I get older I try to get simpler.
And every video every lesson I give I am trying to find ways of getting simpler and simpler
evry time.
As I said earlier.
This lesson is inspired by a lesson I gave during the week.
And I saw a guy on the Thursday.
And we made a couple of little changes to his golf swing.
And then I got a phone call on Saturday evening saying I really need to see you this just
is't working.
So my first question to this client was.
How many balls have you hit?
He said I haven't hit any balls but I have played 3 rounds of golf.
So instantly I knew what was going on.
We make a swing change.
And it might work temporarily during the lesson because we are making some changes and under
my guidance people quite often hit well.
The moment I turn my back and get off.
It doesn't feel quite as good.
So people start losing a bit of faith in what happens.
Now the worst thing you can do after a lesson is to go out play golf.
There is a cycle that we need to go through when we make a swing change.
So I am going to talk you through that cycle.
So lets just say that the change we are going to make today is a grip change.
So during the lesson I may have explained a little something that we are going to manipulate
in the grip or make a change.
And of course because it is different your brain is going to feel very uncomfortable
about that change.
It is going to say gee this feels weird.
Quite often people actually tell me oh no this feels wrong.
That implies what they were doing before was right in which case if it was right they wouldn't
be having a lesson.
So it does take a little while to embed a swing change.
And in this particular case it is a grip change.
So the way I would go about it is we make the grip change.
Knowing that it is going to feel terrible it is going to feel awful.
And the best way of getting used to a change is to do what is called block practice.
Block practice is hitting shot after shot after shot.
Same club same target just getting some repetition going.
So we are trying to get some repetition in our new grip or what ever it is we have decided
to change in the grip.
And we would do that.
Now after a while you may find that starts working pretty well on the range.
And what most people do is they say this is working really good now.
I am going to go out on the course.
There is actually a step in between that you are missing out on.
So after you have done the block practice.
We need to put it under the pressure cooker of getting some constraints on the golf course
or on the range I should say.
So what I would suggest you do is you pick out a target and you choose a club so you
might be having a 7 iron to a target that is out on the right hand side of the range.
So using your new grip.
You go through your pre shot routine and you hit one shot at that target.
Regardless of the result.
Whether it's good or bad.
You then choose a different club or you could simply choose a different target and stick
with the same club.
And you might pick a target out on the left hand side.
So once again you go through your pre shot routine and you hit a shot to that target.
So we are really putting pressure on like you would on a golf course.
And we are putting this swing change under pressure.
If it goes pretty well.
You are then ready to take it out on to the golf course.
But not in competition.
You need to play some holes by your self.
No scoring and no pressure with friends around.
And you are going to put it to the test on the golf course.
If that doesn't go so well.
You then go back to the range and you work on block practice again.
And then you are embedding it.
And then you put yourself under pressure on the range.
Then you go back out on to the golf course and put yourself under pressure by your self
again.
Let's say that your little test on the golf course went really well.
The next step you have got to go through is can I do it under pressure in a game of golf.
Now you are ready to play in the competition and see how it goes.
So if it goes well.
The change has been successful and it stuck.
If it doesn't go so well.
We go back to block practice again, followed by doing some random practice putting your
self under pressure.
Different targets different clubs.
One ball at a time.
Then we go back on the course playing a little practice round by yourself and then once again.
It is a good cycle to go through.
Whatever the change is.
It's the sort of thing golf pros do.Unfortunately we don't hear how golf pros make a swing change.
We just hear during the tournament.
Oh they have made this change.
We assume that they have just made it on the practice fairway the day before and put it
into play.
That does sometimes happen but not very often.
Mostly they do a lot of work in preparation before they get out onto the golf course.
So if you can stick to that cycle I think it is going to embed any change you make.
Thank you for letting me help you with your golf.
