A common illusion golfers face is that they think they have more time than they actually do regarding their golf swing. Unlike the slow-motion videos you see on TV and social media, the golf swing happens very fast, and we’re here today to explain this in better detail!

it’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of what’s actually happening in the golf swing cool things like seeing a downswing in Ultra slow motion can easily distort your perceptions for things like when we need to start making critical movements in the golf swing especially the downswing when you see a downswing like this slowed down 128 times slower than its real speed it makes you feel like you have time to make chronological decisions as the downswing unfolds at this speed it’s easy to feel like things are starting when you see them happen but that’s an illusion you want to avoid at all costs the downswing you just watched from this world number one golfer took just over 30 seconds you can have a lot of thoughts and initiate a lot of actions in 30 seconds but do you really understand what kind of time you do have and by default how much time you have to take your face from over 100° open to square this downswing actually happens in just. 228 seconds in real time

Wow! Took just over 30 seconds! And I thought I had a slow tempo😂
Love this, always thought about it while seeing someone else golf swing Slowmo bc how fast it actually is irl.
Its great practice to flush balls with a short iron that are slowmo. Meaning give yourself the time to make corrections and see what happens. Full swing slowmo and hit it 10 yards
You'd better have it all figured out before you come close to starting the downswing.
admit it… online golf instruction has made butt loads of money from these 30 seconds!!! that's why pros on the range and on the course give much better value. they quickly diagnose you and teach what works in real life.
Definitely getting deep with that stuff man. I was reading a psychology textbook the work of Roy Baumeister and he said that choking is trying to use your conscious brain to control something that you have trained to be automatic. Yeah I had the first lesson I have ever had the other day, what did we work on, ball location, grip, posture, everything else was gold. Yeah speaking about running out of time and short time frame, not pinning my left arm to my chest in backswing, keeping it 30 degrees, gives you all the time in the world to get back… big ups for that tip!
Awesome video, good new thought. This kind of thing can push the way people think about their golf swings into a new space
About 5 months ago, you did a video about how to get open and you said the pros only squat about 3/8”. If that’s true, why does their head drop prop so much and many of them almost jump? I’m not saying I don’t believe you, just confused .
This info is gold!., but just a question , what this mean that golfers don’t bend to think anything? Or cant think anything on the downswing , so how we make golfer change their patterns on downswing ?
