Don't recommend skipping pre-shot routine, but I hit at least 400 balls essentially everyday and the extra steps I don't need haha.

My pre-shot routine is pretty dope though I have perfected it for about a year. Similar to like a place kicker in football I set up behind the ball, point at my target, then kind of step up/stomp up to the ball and focus only on the target from then on. I may be "looking" down at the ball, but my brain is thinking about where that ball is ending up.

My pre-shot routine for Driver and woods is kind of cool too, I like to literally hit the ground, HARD, ( i don't dent the tee box ) but it kind of gets me a bit "angry". For power eventually you do have to swing "fast". I don't swing hard, I swing fast. I've played 10 years, sucked for 6, kind of sucked for 2, was OK last year, and this year I am "decent".

Golf is about eliminating variables. The more you eliminate the more consistent your swing and scoring will become. Most golfers make 3 or 4 mistakes before they even set up over the ball. If you can get a pre-shot routine, have a good grip (learn the proper way, 90% of golfers, imo) have ZERO clue to properly grip the club, and know how to address the ball ("How far away am i, where is the ball in relation to my feet, how high or low are my hands, clubface (neutral, closed, open, something in between?).

I post cool videos, I teach youth golf, I started instructing this year and it has been the most rewarding point in my life. Thanks for listening 🤙
