Tips for developing a consistent 80% swing?
So like most mediocre golfers I have a tendency to swing just too hard. Probably for the first 10 years of me golfing I spent more time on the range than actually playing (as a kid my parents didn't really support my golfing so I didn't really get money to go play actual golf, just a lot of time on the range) I developed the bad habit of just going 100% on every shot. It's allowed me to develop a VERY fast swing speed (think borderline long drive), but it's just hard on my body.
I'm not in my 20s anymore and the day after playing I just feel beat up. I've tried in the past to work on a slower swing and just struggle with timing it, and I think in my head I've built this expectation of yardages that I think I need to pull back from. Does anyone have good tips/advice for working on this? Also, I'm confident it will help improve consistency. When I'm rested/recovered/properly fueled and everything is in sync I have good rounds, but if any of that is off I start spraying drives, or I just over hit everything and fly things even farther than my normal distances.
Working on less head sway in the backswing. I'm also trying to train for long drive, so some of the extra movements for a long drive swing creep into my game swing.
