The 1-Minute Reset When You Completely Lose Your Golf Swing

In this video, Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf reveals a 1-minute reset routine for golfers who lose their swing mid-round. He teaches three actionable drills—the Feet Together Drill, the Wrist Preset Drill, and the Hideki Pause Drill—to rebuild balance, simplify backswing mechanics, and smooth out the downswing transition.

• Hit half-swings with your feet together to quickly restore balance, low-point control, and natural rotation.
• Preset your wrist hinge at setup to eliminate extra moving parts in the backswing.
• Pause at the top of your backswing like Hideki Matsuyama to eliminate a rushed downswing transition.
• Focus on solid, smooth contact rather than swing speed when trying to recover mid-round.
