Develop a Consistent Pre-Shot Routine

A reliable pre-shot routine is a cornerstone of effective and confident golf. It helps you focus, reduces anxiety, and ensures consistency across your rounds. Here’s how to create and refine your pre-shot routine:


1. Visualize the Shot

  • Assess the Situation: Take in the distance, wind, hazards, and lie of the ball.
  • Picture Success: Visualize the trajectory, landing spot, and roll of your ideal shot.

2. Pick a Target

  • Choose a specific target, such as a tree, a spot on the fairway, or the flagstick.
  • Avoid vague aims; specificity improves accuracy.

3. Commit to a Club

  • Select a club suited to the shot and stick with your choice.
  • Confidence in your club selection is crucial for a smooth swing.

4. Practice a Rehearsal Swing

  • Take 1–2 practice swings to get a feel for the motion, ensuring they mimic your intended shot.
  • Focus on rhythm and balance rather than power.

5. Align Yourself

  • Use alignment aids, such as a mark on the ground or your clubface, to ensure proper setup.
  • Position your feet, hips, and shoulders parallel to your target line.

6. Calm Your Mind

  • Take a deep breath to relax your body and sharpen your focus.
  • Use a personal mantra or mental cue to boost confidence (e.g., "Smooth and steady").

7. Execute with Focus

  • Step into your stance with purpose and address the ball.
  • Trust your routine and focus entirely on your target as you swing.

8. Reflect After the Shot

  • Briefly assess your shot’s result but avoid dwelling on mistakes.
  • Use what you learn to adjust your next routine or strategy.

Tips for Success

  • Keep It Simple: A pre-shot routine should take no more than 20–30 seconds.
  • Practice Your Routine: Make it second nature by repeating it during practice sessions.
  • Adapt for Pressure: Use the routine to center yourself, especially in competitive situations.

By maintaining a consistent pre-shot routine, you can approach every shot with confidence and clarity, leading to better performance and enjoyment on the course.

Qi35 Drivers Are Not What I Expected From TaylorMade

Buckle up. For my money, with Qi35, TaylorMade is telling the most intriguing driver story of the spring 2025 season. And while, yeah, there are plenty of bells and whistles and other shiny things to capture your attention, the best parts of the story – the stuff that makes the Qi35 driver family so damn interesting (to me, anyway) – are the bits I haven’t heard before and would have never expected to come from TaylorMade.

Please stay with me. There’s some compelling stuff to be found here but let’s start with the basics.

What does the “35” in Qi35 mean?

In what seems obvious enough in hindsight, the “10” in last season’s Qi10 name served to denote the 10,000 total MOI of the Max model. With that, the Qi35 name might initially seem like a bit of a puzzler.

No, TaylorMade hasn’t circumvented USGA rules and released a driver with 35,000 MOI, though I suppose if you add up the total MOI of all four models, you’re probably in the 35,000 ballpark.

Regardless, while extreme MOI remains part of the story, this time around, it isn’t the story itself.

The TaylorMade Qi35 driver family includes four models.
