Biological Consistency: The True Inconsistency

•

What is biological consistency? In this #golf thread, we will look at this second form of inconsistency. Follow me @adamyounggolf for more 🔖Bookmark this for later reading Let's go 👇👇👇

Biological inconsistency is true inconsistency Unlike our last thread where we showed "consistently bad inputs", this form, instead, is more random with our inputs E.g. the player who is striking both extreme toe and extreme heel Or a player who misses extreme left and right

This is much rarer than you would imagine, although does happen. Most people, however, fall into a category of consistently poor (like below)

Some common causes for this type of inconsistency are 🟢lack of reps (beginners) 🟢intentionally trying to change the movement 🟢inability to control the amount of a change 🟢internal focuses Let's look at each

With beginners, it's natural to have a more variable movement pattern. Our brains are consciously and unconsciously trying to expriement to find movements that create function. Over time, our brains/bodies are start to stabilize around movements that work

For many golfers, they create their own inconsistency by constantly trying new things Such as changing their swing in the hopes that a new position will make them more consistent The problem with this approach is that you never learn to truly ingrain a single motion

Some players can identify patterns, and know what to change to fix it but they can't control the amount that they change For example, 🟢a player who has a left pattern 🟢does something to open the face 🟢over-does it 🟢creates the opposite fault (fore right)

Internal focuses of attention are when we think about individual body movements. E.g. focusing on 🟢wrist motion 🟢head movement 🟢hip rotation 🟢weight shift

Our brains need to coordinate a lot of moving pieces to hit a good #golf shot Internal focuses have been show to disrupt our brain's ability to do this Focusing on an individual piece of a movement might improve control over that piece, BUT often at the expense of "the whole"

thinking more externally, such as 🟢club and ball contact 🟢ground contact 🟢face direction 🟢target Has been shown to help our brain coordinate all the movement towards achieving this goal. E.g. trying to brush a coin forwards vs thinking about body mechanics

Neutral focuses have also been shown to imporve consistency of movement in better players. An example of this could be focusing on the timing of your routine.
