📄 Foam Golf Ball – Swing change practice list

Making big technique changes is HARD.

Dr Luke Benoit has really put together an effective method that unlocks how to make big changes and gives a step by step approach on how anyone can do it!

🎯 Key Training Insights:

  • Focus on Form: In the early stages, overload your brain with swing thoughts. The goal is to learn the new movement!
  • Remove the ball: We want to change the movement and if you put a ball in the way you’ll focus on making contact and slow down movement changes.
  • Don’t make the same mistake twice: When practicing with foam balls, avoid repeating mistakes, such as hitting the ball fat 2-3x in a row.
  • Expect Dual Swings: This training might lead to having two golf swings: the one you practice and the one you play with.

THE PROCESS:

Step 1: Freezer Drill Without a Ball

Start by starting at the top of the back swing and make a downswing focusing on changing body movements.

This “freezer” method helps you get a feel for the new move and allows you to think about every detail of your swing to make it as perfect as possible.


Step 2: Slow Backswing Without a Ball

Next, practice with a 3 second backswing, still without a ball.

This helps you focus on each phase of the swing, ensuring that you’re moving correctly through every step.


Step 3: Freezer Drill With a Foam Ball

Now, introduce a foam ball and apply the freezer drill. This helps you translate the correct movements to an actual hitting scenario.


Step 4: Slow Backswing With a Foam Ball

Continue with the foam ball, but this time, perform a slow backswing before hitting it. You won’t make perfect contact! But don’t make the same mistake twice. Problem solve to figure out

This combines the mental aspect of focusing on your swing mechanics with the physical aspect of actually hitting the ball.


Step 5: Freezer Drill With a Real Ball

It’s time to try the freezer drill with a real golf ball. This step is crucial for applying the swing to making real contact.


Step 6: Slow Backswing With a Real Ball

Finally, execute a slow backswing with a real ball. Finally we can work on making solid contact and don’t be surprised if your “slow backswing” is actually what should become your real backswing.
