Annabel Rolley on How to Stop Being Ball Bound (Video)

You know what it means to be ball bound? It means you swing just fine until you actually have to hit a ball! Well, Annabel Rolley has a few drills to help you get over that mental hurdle...



Basically, you want to trick your mind into "ignoring" the ball by changing what you focus on  -- a focus point that allows the ball to "just get in the way of the clubhead." (I bet you've heard that phrase before, haven't you?) Annabel has three drills to help you do just that:

• Place a tee far enough ahead of the ball so that trying to hit the tee smooths out your swing.
• Practicing on grass without a ball helps you work on mechanics and rhythm alone.
• And practicing in a bunker without a ball allows you to create your own targets, ones that suit you best.

Sometimes the best thing you can do to improve your game is just change the way you think about your swing. Annabel's little mind games can help you learn to do that more quickly. Try them and see which one helps you the most!
