2. The Pressure Challenge

Set the Pressure ChallengeCompete against yourself on how many locked-in reps you can hit before falling under stress. This means picking up a club and taking 100 shots at the same target. The catch? A successful shot only if we hit the target within a certain number of attempts Doing so will allow you to focus, release from a consistent body postion and when put on the wall adds pressure (similar to in-game conditions). Ask a friend to do this with you and make it your own little friendly competition!
