Downswing
How to Practice Downswing Under Pressure
Games and routines that make practice feel closer to the first tee or a match on the line.
Add consequence carefully
Pressure practice for downswing should be clear, short, and slightly uncomfortable. Choose the window, decide what counts as a pass, and rehearse the transition before stepping in.
Nine-shot challenge
- Three balls at controlled speed.
- Three balls with normal tempo.
- Three balls after stepping away and restarting the routine.
Score the strike, but also score whether you stayed patient from the top.
Course transfer
When the round tightens, return to letting pressure move left before the arms fire. Pressure asks for the rehearsed sequence, not a brand-new move invented on the tee.
