Slow drills make the motion easier to sense.

FocusGolf gives you a way to check them from a Wear OS, Apple Watch, or Garmin watch, automatically detecting swings and logging tempo, speed, transition, consistency, and motion data without club sensors. Pair those numbers with video review and you can separate the backswing feel that looks tidy from the one that actually improves strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>A weekly structure\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Day 1: slow rehearsals and half shots.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Day 2: tempo drill with three clubs.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Day 3: random targets using the same backswing feel.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch3>Final thoughts\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>A backswing drill should make the downswing simpler.
