OK and I are trying to provide a view of life inside the ropes. We try to share things going on out on tour and how we see tour players behave. Why they are so good. Surely, we want to model parts of their games to improve our own. But how do we transition from where we are to where we want to be?
From Chapter 14. "Shifting back from the "You Program" to the "Ball Program" during the Stroke is extremely hazardous for the learner. But finally may come the time when the intended Ball behavior could be all the conscious programming you'll need to do, and still produce the required Ball Behavior."
How do we progress from the learner and his need for large portions of self-awareness to the "expert" who has trained himself to the point he only needs to see the intended flight? Even tour players are not immume as they make swing changes or seek to find old form.
Could we define some steps to bridge this gap?

Separate the result from the process (routine).
I like to drill on the range doing shots in a more rapid sequence where my ONLY thought is the trajectory/shape - moving through each shape/trajectory in no particular order, but through each - all to the same target. Then the same but 10 yards closer/farther etc, all with the same club (usually my 7 iron).
This gets the 'auto pilot' in shape with the visuals I am focused on. My focus is on the entire ball flight, not just a starting line.
After a few rounds through that process, I go back to 'full' routine and do the same thing. At least for me, the more I can truly 'see', the better the results. If my mind is busy worrying about some part of the motion, rather than 'seeing', the result is not as good.
