		<description>Great, comment Jon. Yes, I&#039;ve read Tour Tempo, although what your comment reminds me of is the &quot;Play Box&quot; discussed in the new Lynn Marriot/Pia Nilson book &quot;The Game Before the Game.&quot; 

Practice swings, slo-mo or otherwise belong in the &quot;Think Box&quot; along with all the other swing thoughts. Once you&#039;re in the &quot;Play Box&quot; you just swing/play or be reactive/intuitive, as you say. 

One of the great benefits I seem to be getting from the slo-mo practice swings is a better connection between my hands/arms and body, more integrated, better solid flow, more power... as long as I keep the even tempo and don&#039;t rush things...

I agree. It&#039;s not about swinging slow. The slo-mo practice swing helps me be more aware of the whole swing. Then the actual swing just needs to flow with the integrity of what Bagger Vance calls my &quot;authentic swing.&quot;

Thanks again for commenting.</description>

		<description>Your post reminds me of a sentence from the book &#039;Peaceful Warrior&#039; in which Socrates tell Millman he has to -

&quot;...loose your mind to come to your senses.&quot;

The more you &quot;trust it&quot; the less you are in your head and the more you are in your senses.

I like the slow-mo practice swing, however, I don&#039;t like to think slow on my real swing. I want my swing to be as reactive/intuitive as possible to my chosen target.

Have you read &quot;Tour Tempo&quot;. The author found that the pros swing quite fast, even though it looks like their swinging slow. Example, Ernie Els swing as fast at Tiger.</description>
