Okay, here we go, let me tell you about this whole “avery mccrery golf” thing I’ve been messing with.
So, it all started when I saw this video online of Avery McCrery just crushing golf balls. I’m not gonna lie, my swing is… well, let’s just say it’s a work in progress. I figured, hey, maybe I can pick up a few tips and actually start hitting the ball straight for once.
First thing I did was dive deep into YouTube. I mean, deep. I watched every video I could find of her playing, giving tips, anything. I was looking for some sort of secret sauce, you know? Something that would magically transform my slice into a draw. Didn’t quite work out that way, but I did learn a few things.
One thing I noticed was her grip. Seemed really relaxed. So, I went to the driving range, and that’s where the real work began. I tried to loosen up my grip, like, really loose. Felt weird at first, like I was gonna drop the club. And, yeah, a couple of times I almost did! But I stuck with it.
Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- Grip Check: I focused hard on my grip. Making sure it wasn’t too tight. Imagine holding a bird – you want to hold it securely, but not crush it. That was my mantra for the day.
- Slow Motion Swings: I wasn’t even trying to hit the ball hard. Just slow, controlled swings, focusing on that relaxed grip. Think like slow-motion movie style.
- Video Recording: This was key. I recorded myself swinging. It was painful to watch, trust me. But it helped me see what I was actually doing versus what I thought I was doing.
After a few hours, my hands were killing me. And honestly, my swing still wasn’t perfect. But I did notice a difference. The ball was flying straighter, and I wasn’t fighting the club as much. It felt… smoother. Progress, right?
The next day, I decided to focus on my stance. I noticed in Avery’s videos that she had a very balanced stance. I would practice making sure my weight was evenly distributed. Then I’d focus on my backswing, pausing at the top to make sure my form felt correct.
I hit probably 200 balls that day, just working on those two things: grip and stance. And you know what? By the end of the day, I was actually hitting some pretty decent shots. Still not Avery McCrery level, not even close, but definitely an improvement. A lot of hard work and sweat but it felt great.
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, copying a pro’s swing isn’t a magic bullet. But paying attention to the fundamentals, like grip and stance, and really focusing on them, can make a difference. It takes time, patience, and a lot of practice. But hey, that’s golf, right?
What I learned:
- Relaxed grip is key
- Film yourself; it’s brutal but helpful
- Progress takes time. Don’t give up!
I’m gonna keep at it, keep tweaking things, and see if I can get my swing even better. Maybe one day I’ll actually be able to play a round without embarrassing myself too much. Wish me luck!
