He then hypnotized these participants and told them that they were feeling weak. Noticeably, their grip fell to 29 lbs. On the other hand, participant who underwent a positive reinforcement session increased their grip to an average of 40% ti reach 142 lbs. This experiment clearly validates the positive effect of sports hypnosis on the minds of players. Through sports hypnosis, golfers can mold their minds to imbibe acquired golfing skills.
