Even experience drivers still can over steer, and over correct when they lack the ability to visualize in special situations like driving on very icy roads, that they have not encountered before.

The lack of visualization of how the car responses can be very frightening as the car lurches left and right on dry road, and fishtails on icy road. Golf too can be frightening as the shots lurch left and right unpredictably.

Over time, the beginning drivers develop a visualization sense to know how the car will turn and adjust in direction for any given amount of steering, and the car will start to be driven smoothly around curves, and without wobbling down straight roads, and even under control in icy situations.

Similarly, the development of a sense of visualization can help straighten out golf shots.

Cars with soft suspensions, and looseness in steering ball joints can cause difficulties in directional control, which will need more effort and attention to steer the car. Steering joints can be fixed, but soft suspensions cannot be easily changed, so that such cars will be harder to steer. In a similar manner, some golf swings are looser and less compact than others, and more efforts are needed to control direction.

In these modern times, car computers are used to compensate for many looseness like steering on icy roads by using anti-skip brakes. The car computers sense data in real time to form a “picture” of the conditions to response to. This is a sort of visualization by the car computers in real time to adjust to the road situations. Similarly, the brain is the computer golfers have to use to monitor and visualize the swing.

Its a 20min fix in person.

3 range sessions while loosing up that grip and tempo will fix any driver issue you have.
Cant stay stressed with such grip pressure.

Modern swing mechanics is what causes all those swing issues.

I think the key element of the Nicklaus book is about developing the mental ability of visualization. The book describes visualizing the flight path of the ball before setting up, and visualizing a point a few feet in front of the ball to line up with during setup.

It is said that the great baseball batters can see the bat in the process of hitting the baseball. In golf, the clubhead is moving too fast for anybody to actually see the clubhead in the process of hitting the ball. However, it is possible to develop a sort of mental virtual visualization of the orientation of the clubhead as it hits the ball. It is also possible to more easily develop the mental visualization ability to “see” the positions of the body during the swing, as the body parts are moving relatively slower than the clubhead.

A photographer should have a lot of mental ability of visualization, that can be put to great use in golf. The ability to visualize the clubhead path, clubface angle, and loft of the clubface during the swing can be highly advantageous, as Nicklaus said in his video about the object of the swing is to move the clubhead.

For example, the clubface angle, and the clubface loft can be mentally visualized during the release fairly easily, as these clubface angle, and the clubface loft change relatively slowly during the release. The clubface angle changes from ninety degrees open to square during the final release to impact, while the clubface loft changes from somewhat higher than normal to normal (or slightly below normal) during the final release. I forgot whether Nicklaus describes mentally monitoring and visualizing the squaring and closing of the clubface during the final release in the “Golf My Way” book, but he may had described it in another article.

In addition, the clubhead can be visualized and imagined to fly down the fairway after impact towards some targeting point down the fairway, which is described in Baron’s and my books, which will be discussed later here.

The positions of the body can be visualized and monitored during the swing relatively easier than visualizing the various aspects of the clubhead, as the body is moving slower than the clubhead; however, there are a lot more body part aspects to visualized and monitor. If the swing is perfectly grooved in automatically hitting long and straight, there is no need to monitor the body. If there are certain problems, a few specific body parts can be singled out for monitoring and visualization.

Hogan’s book describes a fairly flat swing, and promotes waggling, that are not generally adopted today, but the book does go into a lot of details of the swing. Hogan swung from the opposite side as a left-hander swinging right-handed clubs. The book may be viewed as a guide for swinging from the opposite side.

Nelson is considered to be very consistent and accurate, as the holder of the consecutive wins record. In these regard, his book demands some attention. His book also discusses the visualization of swing and of throwing the clubhead down along the target line to the target after impact.

My book tries to make it simple to hit long shots by using simplified “applied physics” and engineering principles. Simplified “Transform” methods are used in engineering and applied physics like the Fourier and LaPlace transforms to simplify calculations. In my book, instead of worrying about ball distance, getting ball distance is transformed into getting clubhead distance, which is a lot shorter than getting ball distance.

For example, instead of trying to hit the ball to 300 yards, the transform is to swing the clubhead to 100 yards. In general, the ball goes three times the distance of the clubhead “distance.” (The clubhead distance can be imagined and visualized as the distance the clubhead would go down the fairway along the target line, if the clubhead was to detached from the shaft at the bottom of the swing arc.) If the clubhead is swung to 70 yards, the ball will go 3 times further to 210 yards. If the clubhead is swung to 80 yards, the ball will go 3 times further to 240 yards. If the clubhead is swung to 90 yards, the ball will go 3 times further to 270 yards. According to the 3 times formula, if the clubhead is swung between 70 to 100 yards, the ball will go from 210 to 300 yards for the driver.

Ernest Jones wrote Swing the Clubhead. Nicklaus says about moving the clubhead. Nelson wrote about feeling “as if the clubhead is being thrown toward the hole.” I wrote the precise formula of swinging, and releasing the clubhead to one-third the distance of the target down the target-line for the driver. In terms of clubhead distance, 70 to 100 yards are the distances of interest. Most golfers of average build can swing the clubhead to 80 yards for 240 yard drives. With better efficiency in technique (like swinging with the arms closer to the body during the downswing to lessen rotational inertia) an extra 10 yards can be picked up in clubhead distance to 90 yards to give 270 yard drives. Another 10 yards of clubhead distance will provide the opening to 300 yard drives. The key here is to swing the clubhead down the fairway along the target line from the ball to the target, and with modest clubhead distances from 70 to 90 yards of clubhead distances. Together with proper visualization and control of clubface angle, long and straight shots should not be difficult.

Woods book provides a great number of photographs, including many slow motion photo sequences. Woods is representative of the build of tall modern pro golfers of over six feet. In the old days, the great golfers are mostly under six feet.
