If a player has decided to change a particular component or variation in their swing, immediately they are dealing with trying to over-write old habits. Unfortunately, habit formation has an agenda all its own. Habits do not care about a 24-hour clock or how much motivation a person has. Habits do not care how many balls a player may hit or how important golf is to that person s mental well-being. Habits form at a pace unaltered by effort and intensity.
Habit formation is similar to placing eggs in an incubator.
The egg hatches when the chick, not you, cracks the shell. There are ways to speed up the process. Here s one that may work for you. You must realize when trying to change habits that until you can execute new movements perfectly at less than full speed, it is impossible to execute the changes with any degree of precision at full speed. The brain will automatically default to the old habit because it does not know how to execute the new movement when you go all out.
