Breathing 101

[SilverUberXeno]

It's not what it seems! I can breathe in a casual environment, and it's not that I CAN'T breathe in golf, it just seems that when I start my back swing I hold my breath to keep my body still. Do you guys do that? Does it take power away? It seems to work alright, but I'm looking for any ways to gain yardage.

I do the same and I haven't really noticed it until a few days ago. Hasn't made any difference to me. This year I've been averaging 300+ off the tee.

Where you playing someone for money recently and they put this throught into your swing? It's the old classic to mess someone up. "Do you breath in or out during your backswing?"

In my opinion, if you are thinking about your breathing during your swing, you probably won't hit a good shot.

I went through a whole messed up round once because I was trying to figure out if I putted with my jaw closed or not....
