Wouldn't you have to have a different rythm for every shot to do this?...
Chris.
It is very hard to do. I went back and re-read my post. I did (incorrectly) say full swings. What I meant was smooth swings with an equal-length backswing and follow-through. Kind of like Pelz' clock swing. Back to the 9:00 position, with a good wrist cock, then through to 9:00.
Start by taking the club back far enough so that with your normal rhythm you can follow-through to the same height (obviously, momentum will cary the club a little further - you just want to feel that the hands are going along for the ride) and reach 100 yards. Then 120, and so on. It's all about feeling smooth through the ball.
You will be suprised, once you start making solid contact with a slower, smoother swing, how far the ball will go.
We all swing more smoothly at the range. It's why we all suffer from the same problem. "I hit the ball so well at the range - why can't I do it on the course?"
Well, this warm-up drill can help carry that feeling out on the course. Practice it at the range and get good at it before you use it as a warm-up. It's not a good idea to make your warm-up session a frustrating collection of bad shots, which it can be if you aren't practiced at this drill.
