Whether you’re just starting out or looking to fine-tune your form, QuickFixGolf.com‘s Darren deMaille has a step-by-step method that makes improvement feel inevitable. Here’s how to build lasting muscle memory and real results on the course:
1. Start Without a Club
It might sound odd, but the best way to start is with no club at all. Darren demonstrates placing your arms across your chest and using a stick through your belt loops to practice hip rotation and isolate body motion.
2. Try the Freezer Drill
Grab your club and swing into position—then freeze. Hold your backswing for five seconds and really feel it. This deliberate pause accelerates motor learning.
3. Go Slow
Make full swings in slow motion. Visualize every movement. This forces you to stay in control and notice what your body is doing.
4. Add Speed
Now swing at full speed—but still without hitting a ball. This step helps bridge the gap between practice and performance.
5. Hit It
Finally, add the ball. Now you’re swinging with purpose, not just repetition. And if you feel things getting off track, go back to step one.
“Just hitting balls and hoping it clicks doesn’t work. These steps will get you where you want to go.” – Darren deMaille
