Bob Winters demonstrates how the Pre-shot routine is our “action plan” for success. But not only to we have to have the optimal positive mind-set when we start our routine, we have to ensure we are still there before we start the back-swing.
The Shot Routine is what we need to continually repeat and practice to become better players. It enables us to go into a concentration zone on demand, during our rounds and practice. Watch any of the top players in the world and they have the same approach to EVERY shot, which optimizes their chances of playing it as they intend. The shot routine enables us to switch from being relaxed and enjoying where we are and what we doing, into a highly focused state which connects us with the shot required. With practice, entering "the zone" can become an automated process. There are many drills and processes we can go through to improve the way we play the inner game, but the shot routine provides us with the structure, the triggers and increases commitment .
Most negative interferences in the execution of a shot happen before we start the back swing. If executed correctly, the shot routine takes us away from negative thoughts and reminds us to be in a positive state of mind.
