How To Train Your Brain To Never Rush Your Downswing Again
Jonathan Chown (JChownGolf) demonstrates a comprehensive system to eliminate a rushed downswing. By addressing root causes like lack of rotation and narrow width, he provides actionable drills including the resistance band stretch and the weighted two-club swing. The video concludes with on-course mental strategies and verbal cues to maintain a smooth, professional-level tempo.
Rushing is often caused by a lack of backswing rotation or a narrow swing arc.
Use a resistance band under your lead foot to feel the tension of a proper, wide turn.
Swing two clubs at once to physically force your brain to accept a slower, more powerful tempo.
The 'Pause Drill' is a classic professional technique used by players like Tiger Woods to master transition timing.
Implement rhythmic verbal cues like 'God Save The Queen' or visualize smooth swingers like Ernie Els to maintain tempo on the course.
