Shooting better with no practice strokes

[rikdee]

I sometimes practice without warmup strokes - it does a couple of things for me:

- forces me to pay closer attention to my PSR and setup

- forces me to focus and aim more quickly

IIRC, Mark Wilson was an advocate for this as a practice technique. I have done it for years and it does test one's PSR/alignment consistency. But, it does not feel natural for me to play that way; I use it as practice only.

It's called the drop and shoot method, and you may have trouble with it in competition. I don't recommend it.

Very true
My favorite one stroke playe now is Jeff Ignacio https://youtube.com/watch?v=9_YbxUX9Dtw
But by and large few of top elite players are one stroke. I love watching one stroke players.
