What you'll learn

  • Why a targeted warm-up beats a generic one
  • How your warm-up follows your current focus
  • How to read early signs your timing is off

Before you start

  • One clear priority to work on (run a swing analysis first if you have not).
  • A little space to move and, ideally, a way to film a rep.

Step by step

  1. Why warm-up matters

    A targeted warm-up activates the movements you've been training. It also helps you identify if your timing or contact is off before the round starts.

  2. Customized to your focus

    Your warm-up routine is based on your current swing priorities. If you've been working on driver path, your warm-up will include drills that reinforce that pattern.

Common mistakes

  • Trying to change everything at once.

    Follow the one-fix idea: work a single priority, then retest before moving on.

  • Skipping the retest, so you never confirm the change stuck.

    Re-record the same way after practicing and compare against where you started.
