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.
