I have my pre shot routine and I waggle once and then rip it (or not sometimes) but it's the same trigger every time before I pull the trigger. Tea and AG are right though if you're thinking about your swing while you're swinging that's when bad sh!t happens.
If a woman found your prostate you might find your swing.
Since when do we stay on topic around here?

How can you stay on topic when you don't know what it is?
I feel like the benefit of a "trigger" is to get on the right track to repeatability....which is also the whole point of a pre-shot routine. I was drawing that comparison because I don't have a so-called trigger but I do have a pre-shot routine that serves the same purpose. I did not have the two confused. kkHow can you stay on topic when you don't know what it is?

Well, in my pea brain it makes sense but that doesn't mean my logic is reasonable.
To me trigger is the take away. If its something in tbe middle thats different im screwed

I actually do have a trigger. I have a forward press like AG talked about.
Kind of a funny story...a long time ago, I used to play with a fade on a course that you were better off if you could draw it.
When I decided to learn to hit a draw, I learned about swinging from in to out as opposed to out to in etc.
I used a little press as a reminder of the path I wanted my club on, and I practiced a lot until I started hitting a draw and have played with one ever since.
Today, I have the hardest time hitting a fade, and I still have the forward press.
Last year one of my friends said he wanted to see me make a swing without the forward press. I teed up a ball, took my address position, and literally just froze there. I stood there for a good 20-25 seconds and couldn't take the club back. For whatever reason, if I don't use a forward press to start my swing, I feel like I have to loop the club at the top to get it on the plane I want. I know I'm not, but that's what it feels like.

I just concentrate on the ball and swing. No thought on starting the swing.
Not even Sophia Lauren?
