Most amateurs go completely still before they swing

The Logical Golfer breaks down Tiger Woods' pre-shot movement, showing how subtle waggles and foot shuffles eliminate static tension. By staying in continuous motion before the backswing, golfers maintain fluid timing and maximize clubhead speed. Applying this dynamic approach prevents freezing over the ball for consistent ball striking.

• Avoid freezing or standing completely still over the ball before initiating your backswing.
• Incorporate gentle waggles and foot shuffles to release tension in your arms and body.
• Maintain continuous micro-movements to stay athletic, fluid, and reactive throughout your routine.
