1. BE BETTER READ
It’s one of the most controversial books ever written, but The Golfing Machine, written by Homer Kelly in 1969, inspired a 15 year-old DeChambeau to adopt a single plane swing and start using single length irons. Now every club is 37.75 inches long - the same length of shaft as a 6-iron - and 10 degrees more upright than normal, hence why his swing looks so funky. He also uses XL Jumbo Max grips, the largest grips commercially available, in order to make the club feel like a baseball bat. That might explain where some of his power comes from…
2. TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Every week Bryson DeChambeau watches a film, usually from the action adventure genre. But it doesn’t matter what it is because he’s not watching purely for enjoyment; he’s also teaching his brain the benefits of staying calm, focused and stress-free. Using a Neuropeak Pro brain-training unit, DeChambeau attaches a EEG sensor to his head which monitors the peaks and valleys of his brain’s electrical current as the movie plays. The goal he says, is to avoid the spike between the parasympathetic and sympathetic states that occur in the most stressful, intense moments. If the activity in his brain fires too high, the movie will immediately stop. Only when he relaxes his brain by controlling his breathing and reaching a calm state will the movie resume.
