Perhaps through feedback from the striking of the ball or just your swing in general as you make a bad shot. Although not consistant and not good (relatively speaking) I do find that I feel as though I often know what I've done wrong with a bad shot. Not always but often enough.
Some have told me I'm lucky to pick up on it. Often times, soon as i strike the ball I might say to myself but sort of also out loud a split second after impact "oh crap, I didnt roll my hands enough" or "ahhhh, i walked out on it" or " ahhhh darn, i swung across the ball", whatever, and often if with a good player one may at times comment back in response to my out loud thinking and say "yea, thats exactly what ya did". But of course trouble is even though I may know what I've done many times, I then still go and do it again and again. Sometimes for several shots in a row. Now of course thats about practice etc...
Like my out loud thinking comments above there often are just obvious things to me why I may have hit fat or thin or why i sliced or hooked, etc. I'll realize (at least in my own belief) that i may have picked up and walked out before striking. Oposite that, I may have brought the upper body down during the strke. Perhaps realize i didnt roll the hands enough or rolled them too much. Got the hands too much out in front. Toed or heeled one. Knew my swing wasnt on the correct plane, Etc....
I often get that feel for feedback. i could be wrong with alot of it but as said every so often someone will agree thats what i actually did so I think i'm pretty good at feeling it. At times after feeling that I may know what i did wrong I'll over compensate the other way and then get of course a bad result the oposite way. So I think that tells me that I am probably often enough correct about what i felt. Its not nearly all the time but it is often enough. I think its good i can do that. I think its a bit advantagious to me to realize these things. If i'm correct about them.
Of course i dont and cant play or practice enough to keep it all consistant enough to be at a level I would like to be and I keep doing these things wrong..lol.. but am i very lucky to be able to have a good feel or sense for what I may have done wrong? I'm sure i'm not always correct with it although i hope i am. Do you often have a good feel for what went wrong with a strike and swing? Perhaps some recieve great feedback from their own swing and strike, perhaps others recieve none. Where do you stand with recieving feedback and or perhaps realizing what ya did wrong? Have it sometimes? recieve it alot? hardly ever?
