I have heard different answers to this, but around 100 or so reps per day for two weeks seems to be what I have heard.

Of course the quality of the repetitions must be consistent, if a quality habit is to be gained.

What do you think?

Of course many other factors could be discussed here!
I think its a good start.....what about the "totally different" psychological effect of tyring to go through the change while playing on the course! Range practice, is not golf. Golf is only done on the course. So, what would be the best approach on developing a mechanical/feel change while also playing golf? Thats tough. How should we approach it?

Also, some teachers with high egos (most) like to say that if you are makeing a change, you should see better results immediately. Maybe for a small few, certainly, not for most. Typically, if you a changing one mechanical move/feel, you have to change another, since, the flaw you are changes is being "compensated" by some other, "non-desireable" move.

Its a really tough game!

Back to my reps, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, .......
