HEY EVERYONE! Here are 2 videos from the sport science-human motor skill learning-world that validates in a huge way what we do and why we teach the way we do:
This one here validates the work of Gabriele Wulf:

Are the 2 tees imaginary? Confused.
In this video with Munashe yes, they are; imagine 2 tees 4 inches apart on the ground starting where the ball is and going towards the target. The task is to use the sole of the club to collect both of them and deliver them through the Left edge of the intermediate point and into the net with a nice effortless whipping action.
See the “top 3 tasks” video and watch the delivering of the wood curls into the target.
Hi Shawn…..this might be off topic but quick question. I noticed all three of you seem to get your hands high at the top of your backswing almost above your head. Mine tend to stay about shoulder height and maybe that is ok. Is there a video you can point me to that explains the high hands? Kent
Not about the height of the hands; don’t look there; it is about the free swing of arms cutting grass in both directions without CONTROL. See “task trumps everything” and the “3 top tasks” and if you can accomplish those, then the height of the hands are good enough to evolve naturally moving forward! 😀👍
Hi Shawn, my swing tracks well, arms levitate, and i can feel the weight when doing the perpetual motion drill, However, when i start my backswing at address, even if i try to feel i’m in motion, it’s not the same as doing the perpetual motion drill. I feel like i dont get enough levitation in the arms, i might not clear enough and i use more my arms to take the club back, or by trying to clear i might take the club too inside. Do you have any tips on what i can do for my backswing to feel free and easy like the perpetual motion drill?
This is a job for the axe drill!! How much have you practiced it?
See the latest with Savy, she does it so well! ‘How to use the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” video
The axe drill
has helped a lot with keeping me centered. It’s still a lot easier to keep it on plane when carrying it two handed and tossing it back. When i’m over the ball i seem to take the club inside while trying to do the axe drill. Can you also explain how i would use the axe drill for the two tees drill?
It’s ok to have a little variance between the regular golf swing and the axe drill; the bottom line is that you want to feel that nice upward levitation in that backswing with that same gorgeous transition. Also, the 2 tee drill can easily be done with the axe drill and it a heck of a great idea!
Hi Shawn. Really having much better consistency visualizing the 2 tee drill before my shots. Hitting farther and straighter long irons than ever. Thinking more down and through the ball throwing club to edge of IP to target has enabled me to really start compressing the ball like never before. Coupled with really clamping down on the club with heavy grip pressure has enabled me to not leak and transfer so much more energy through the ball. Not that I have a way to measure for myself and by no means will I think about numbers while trying to swing but just curious what you have found to be the optimal downward Angle of Attack for best carry? Is there a number range that you would like to see on your shots? Any studies done using super slow-mo cameras and principles of physics that point to what might be the optimal?
Dave Pike
Will need to do a video on youtube about that! Thank you for the inspiration!
The short answer is what is optimal for the shot at hand? Wind-Lie-flight plan-height of shot downwind or upwind etc!
That would be great! Would love to know some rules of thumb with associated tasks for best adjusting the AOA in the swing to suit the situation.
Thanks Shawn!
How crazy is this? I just got home from my morning workout where I wanted to confirm that what I am doing with the two T drill is transferring. Here is his I did it. I placed a flat ball where I would place the golf ball and another in front where I expect the club to start cutting grass. I used perpetual motion next to the ball to confirm the point at which I cut grass is where the second flat ball is located. Immediately afterwards I placed a Birdie ball on the turf, used perpetual motion next to the ball and after two swings where I cut grass in front of the ball, I moved in an boom executed the shot. I come home and see that what I developed instinctively is the video of the week. Thank for the confirmation.
David
How good is that!! Awesome! 😀👍💥
