With the standard of the professional game at all levels getting better all the time those pro’s who do not up their level will fall behind the rest. Effective play is vital but so is consistency. Talented players who are not the strongest technically will have good days due to their ability but also poor days due to the inconsistent nature of their swing. A coordinated motion where each aspect complements the other is key and eliminates the need for compensations during the swing. It is amazing how instinct tells good players that the ball will travel off line and the sub conscious will then act to try and make up for the problem with a last ditch reaction – all in a fraction of a second! Sometimes this works and the recovery is successful but this is no way to be playing the game at such a competitive level.

The good players are getting better with sound techniques that require little compensation and stand up to pressure week in, week out due to their efficient and repetitive nature. Make sure you are one of them!
