The elusive quest for consistency The major difference is in the degree of relaxation we bring to the course I think. Any tension transmits itself to the swing. I believe that balance is an essential ingredient and a routine to induce relaxation and tempo. Many times we tend to launch into the swing before we have the key elements of balance, relaxation and rhythm firmly in our set-up.
I find martial art meditation and body preparation is useful in this regard.

I find that finding my centre/balance in relation to the target and a relaxed focus on the blade of the club until the centre is ready to move with the hands and rotate around the fixed location is a useful key. Also a sense of the practice swing in which the ball is only a position on a line and not a 'solid object' is very helpful. Any comments on what you do to ensure you are set?
