Break 90 in 2025: The Ultimate Practice Guide for Lower Scores

Breaking 90 is a milestone that many golfers dream of achieving, but few approach it with the right practice strategy. As we begin 2025, it's time to transform your practice sessions from aimless ball-hitting to purposeful improvement. Here's your comprehensive guide to making this your breakthrough year.

1. The Power of Process-Focused Practice

Dr. Mo Pickens, who works with PGA Tour pros like Keegan Bradley, emphasizes the importance of process goals over result-based thinking. Instead of fixating on the number 90, focus on:

• Tracking key stats (fairways, greens, putts per round)
• Setting measurable practice goals
• Creating baseline measurements for improvement
• Building progressive challenges

Pro Tip: Start by making 30 four-foot putts in a row. Can't get there? That's your new baseline for improvement.

2. The Power of Strength Training: Your Secret Weapon

In today's golf landscape, distance is king. While technique matters, the physics are simple: stronger golfers can generate more clubhead speed, leading to longer drives and shorter approach shots. This is where structured strength training becomes your game-changer.

Success Story: The Lesley Atkins Transformation Meet Lesley Atkins, one of our standout success stories from the Bombs Away Advanced Program. Through dedicated strength training and following our structured program in the Streak Performance App, Lesley achieved remarkable results:

• Added 47 yards to her driver distance in just 12 weeks
• Increased clubhead speed from 92 mph to 105 mph
• Improved overall body control and stability
• Enhanced recovery between rounds
• Reduced injury risk through proper movement patterns

"The Bombs Away program didn't just change my golf game – it transformed my entire approach to the sport. Adding nearly 50 yards to my drive has made golf more enjoyable and given me a competitive edge I never thought possible." - Lesley Atkins

Why This Works:

• Scientifically designed progression
• Daily accountability through the app
• Video guidance for perfect form
• Community support and motivation
• Real-time tracking of gains

3. Mobility: The Hidden Score Reducer

As a golf fitness specialist, I can't stress enough the importance of pre-practice mobility work. Dr. Troy Van Biezen, Scottie Scheffler's trainer, identifies mobility as the biggest missing piece in amateur golfers' routines.

Essential Pre-Practice Mobility Routine:

• Hip flexor stretches
• Thoracic spine rotations
• Shoulder mobility exercises
• Core activation drills
• Dynamic lower body movements

4. Master the PGA Formula

Brooks Koepka's simple but effective "PGA" approach:

• Posture: Athletic stance, slight knee flex, proper spine angle
• Grip: Consistent hand placement for better control
• Alignment: Square to target with proper body positioning

Remember: These fundamentals need to be checked every practice session, not just when things go wrong.

5. Adding Pressure to Your Practice

The difference between range warriors and course performers often comes down to pressure management. Here's how to simulate game-like conditions:

• Use scoring games in practice
• Implement consequence-based drills
• Create competitive scenarios
• Practice with a time limit
• Use the "5 Ball Challenge" for short game

Advanced Practice Strategies:

1. Physical Preparation:

• Start each session with a proper warm-up
• Incorporate mobility work between drills
• Stay hydrated and maintain energy levels

2. Mental Game Development:

• Set specific goals for each practice session
• Track progress systematically
• Celebrate small improvements
• Learn from unsuccessful attempts

3. Time Management:

• Structure 30-minute focused sessions
• Divide time between technical and practical drills
• Include pressure situations in every practice

4. Recovery and Assessment:

• Document what works
• Identify patterns in improvement
• Adjust practice plans based on results
