Hypnosis Not Analysis Paralysis to Improve Golf Success

By: Andrew Fogg - The Golf Hypnotist

You do not improve your swing and achieve golfing success through analysis paralysis. People who teach complex swing thoughts just clutter the conscious mind and block out the unconscious mental processes that already know how to swing the club to the best of a player's ability.

Now don't get me wrong about the general standard of teaching from PGA golf professionals. It's truly magnificent and in nearly all cases their swing coaching advice is well thought out, simple, elegant and tailored to the golfer in front of them.

So what am I griping about, you may ask? Well, unfortunately the coaching advice available from many websites, magazines and books is over complicated and, of necessity, over-generalised. Face-to-face with a golfer, a good pro will identify perhaps one or two key things for that golfer to work on at any one time. The author of a book or article, on the other hand, has little or no information about the individual golfing reader and therefore has to generalise. Now, that might be ok if the author has only one or two key points to get across. More than two points in any one article or chapter can lead to analysis paralysis and achieve the opposite of golf improvement.

No Analysis Paralysis with Golf Hypnosis

With Golf Hypnosis, the effect is totally different. Hypnosis concentrates on communication with your unconscious mind and the changes you implement unconsciously become part of your automatic response. You don't have to analyse them to use them. In fact, you don't even need to remember them consciously.

Analysis Paralysis on a Golf Improvement Website

To show you what I mean, here's a list of swing thoughts from a single article on a golf improvement website. Now, if this set of suggestions doesn't lead to analysis paralysis, I don't know what will! The author suggests that you

• reduce the moment of inertia of your swing to get more distance for less input
• delay the hand release
• increase the swing torque
• reduce the moment of Inertia - a function of the size of the mass and the radius of the mass and it applies because the swing is a rotating entity.
• remember that the swing radius is determined by the angle of your hand cock
• keep your hands cocked longer in the downswing to allow you to accelerate your trunk turn at specific moments
• keep your hands cocked longer in the downswing...
• need to reset your tempo and timing
• eliminate muscle tension
• swing naturally and keep your hands quiet!

Just imagine what it would be like to have this complicated type of instruction when learning to drive a car!
