Focus CS, focus!
« on: July 03, 2004, 07:53:04 AM »
Latley ive been having trouble focusing.

1. My eyes wonder off my target.
2. My swing is all messed up
3. My approach speed is to fast
4. No matter how hard I seem to try, i cant stay focused on my shots like I use to be. Its only been like this for about 2 or 3 weeks now.

Have any of you went through this?

Yep.  I slumped for a good 12-14 weeks.

Fortunately a weekend with Ron Clifton has me slowly getting back on track.  I knew I was messed up, but couldn't identify the problem myself.  Find someone with a good set of eyes that will push you to implement the proper changes to your mechanics.

I can change my rotation, not my tilt though. I think I may have explained it wrong. **Mentally**, I feel exhausted. I cant seem to stay focused on anything. And I was curious if any of you ever felt "mentally" exhasuted? And what you did about it?

CS

It may be a time for a very short break!  I understand the part about 2 and 3 being mental. When your mental game is having problems your physical game dominoes  at the same time.  Do you have a pre-shot routine.  If not get one.  Also if you haven't read Focused for Bowling by Dr. Dean Hinitz read it.  When the sequence that you go through before and on the approach is out of whack the physical game suffers.  You might also try changing your practice objectives.  I practice with distractions going on or with music.
