A Malaska Golf Member comments about starting with small skills and building them daily.
Mike believes this is the key to golf. Malaska Golf has the M-System that gives you a step-by-step process, and you should learn those steps. It is best to start that same way every time you practice. The Tour Players have the same routine.
If you can't do the small skills, you assume they will show up when you make a bigger swing.
They won't. Then, it becomes compensation after compensation to find the flaws in your big swing when it's actually in your basic skills.
Mike likes to make small shots with just one hand, swap to the other, and then use both hands. If you can't do these basic skills, trying to make big swings may not work.
Those little swings teach you to line the club up with the shaft and push it through the ball. This is called the line of compression, and once you feel that, it will show up in all your shots. The same relationship you make for the small swing shows up in the big swing.
Master the small skills and get a practice routine. Your swing will get so much better.

This video is fantastic because it shows the correct hand and wrist action at close up, absolutely spot on, if you can't hit small shots regularly and consistently, absolutely no point working on full swing
You're totally correct Mike. I would have regular playing pupils come to me complaining about their game. Often I'd start by asking them to take a 7 or 8 iron and just knock some balls 50-80 yards. The result was most of the time thin, fat, topped , sculled shots. So I would point out you want to control your long game but you can't hit a few decent controlled short shots. I would then get them to build up control from 50 yards to 100 yards and learning compression. Once they understood how to execute the short shots their long game improved rapidly. My old friend Ryder Cup player Jimmy Adams said a drive is just a big chip shot and a chip is a small drive. I think Sam Snead said if he had his time again he would just mainly practice pitch shots because a 3 iron shot is just a bigger pitch shot. Jimmy Adams also told me the swing should ' feel ' small and not feel big ! That doesn't mean a short swing but ' feel ' small.
This lesson makes me want to work hard on my short game.
This has absolutely been true for me. Good stuff, Mike.
A house is only as good as its foundation !
Great stuff Mike
If you are going to learn a movement you want to learn it correctly and start small and build up and drop back if it breaks up when going faster.
Thanks Mike
The fact that you said that tells me you get the process. Your game will continue to improve. It is how I practice every day. I start over. Jack Nicklaus told me one day. "Every day is an opportunity to reinvent myself". He had a decent career so it might be applicable to the rest of us. Thanks Mike Malaska
