Are exaggeration drills good for you?

The number one thing I've found when it comes to shallowing, lag, or any move I've been working on , is to exaggerate. I've learned not to be afraid of going to extremes with it. At first, I was hesitant, thinking that if I exaggerated too much, it would be difficult to undo. But that's not what happens in reality.

When you try to really exaggerate a movement, you actually end up getting just about the right amount of lag or whatever else you're working on. It might feel like you're doing something crazy and extreme, but when you see it on camera, it's usually just about right. And then, as you continue to practice, you might need to be aware of not exaggerating too much.

But that's a good problem to have, in my opinion. I'd rather work back from having too much lag than having no lag at all. So I'm a big believer in exaggerating at the start to really get the hang of it. This is similar to what we talked about with variability training, where we intentionally go a bit too far one way and then work it back to the middle.

It's not the end of the world if we get a little too much, because we can always tone it back. Another thing that's helped me mentally is to think of it like running an experiment. I don't have to make a perfect swing and hit every shot perfectly. Instead, I'm going to run an experiment to see how shallow I can get, for example. It's almost like a game, where I'm trying to push myself to see what I can do.

And when you approach it that way, you'll find that even if you hit some bad shots, it's no big deal. It's just part of the experiment. And by running those experiments and trying to exaggerate, you'll end up getting closer to what you actually want!
