It felt awkward at first, but that's exactly the point. When you're trying to build a new movement, speed often hides mistakes instead of fixing them.It's no different in golf. So many golfers want to hit balls at full speed while making a swing change, but if your brain hasn't had time to learn the new pattern, you'll simply fall back into old habits. Slowing down allows your body to understand what the movement should actually feel like before you gradually build speed back in.Whether you're in the gym, on the driving range, or learning any new skill, remember this:Slow is smooth. Smooth becomes fast.In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I share why slowing down could be the fastest way to improve your golf.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Sign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast
