Helpful. I had trouble with your swing concepts I think because I let the club get behind me. Recently made some improvement by applying some online advice from other pros– whose swing concepts I do not use or like– that I should push with the right arm in the back swing as arm unit goes back and thereby keep the triangle together. This video reinforces the idea that this right arm push going back for me.
The most important aspect of arm-club integrity is turning out of the way; a nice series to pair this with is “super slow-super relaxed-super wide” backswing series
As you start downswing and gather can you use your index right finer to slash the dandelion towards the target?
How do you make sure your dont reach full speed until you reach the ball and after towards target
Hi Walter!
The original focus prior to starting the swing is really key for successful execution. See the “Pre motor cortex” series which will be very cool for you! I have had many conversations with some very high ranking sports psychologists on this and they were very surprised at how good my findings were! 💪😀
then you want to work on your routine to lead into that with all the bases covered:
Here is the Pre-shot routine’s non negotiable items
1-Best option for shot
2 rules: 1-Release into safe direction; never release towards trouble and draw or fade away from trouble; this puts unnecessary tension in the system with the “you better make sure you do this or that to not go there”
2-No strain required to execute your shot; understand that you have 2 general yardages per club; one for the flush shot and one for the good miss about 12 yards short of the flush shot. The good miss happens 82% of the time and the flush shot 18% of the time. This helps determine what club to use based on where the best place to miss will be.
2-Once the shot option is chosen, confirm the flight plan-what line do you want to start the ball and what line do you want to end? (include roll out)
3-Choose intermediate point; can be straight on or slightly off line, as long as it’s easy to see and well into your peripheral vision (6 to 12 inches in front of ball only)
4-Confirm alignment of momentum-get ready to see the blur of the path of the club and match it to the ball and intermediate point and prepare to make the ball a PRECISE INTERSECTION on the way through the IP into the flight plan! See the low point of this arc blur, which is about an inch in front of the ball with all clubs except the driver.
5-Confirm ball position matches the flight plan and the direction you want to start the ball.
6-Confirm distance to ball and see that when you let momentum ride through the blur through ball and IP that you don’t feel the need to reach out from being too far or hold on from being too close and you can let it ride
7-Confirm Grip club relation; see that you know it will curve the way you want to in the air once you allow the momentum to release you through the arc-blur into the flight plan through ball and IP
8-Confirm levels and low point with relaxed and engaged legs; legs are ready to heave the arms and club into the backswing that would match the direction of the flight plan; and feels like you are ready to allow that solid dose of momentum to ride through the arc-blur through the ball, the low point of the swing and IP into that flight plan
9-Ready?
When over the ball, See the arc-blur already moving through ball and intermediate point through this low point. You are feeling the arms and club already tracking the arc through the ball and intermediate point into a nice release snap and the body already gliding out of the way of these tracking arms. What does that feel like again? Oh yeah, about like this! This is the glue that holds EVERYTHING together is the letting the swing stay with the direction of flight and fully witness momentum taking care of that for you.
Hi Shawn
This video is superb as it confirms something that as a barrel chested man that I have done through trial and error but have always looked for validation. The statement let your arms hang from the shoulders has been catastrophic for my swing over the year’s. However as soon as I return to arms on top of chest ( my way of saying trail elbow below the pec) i start striking the ball out the screws and can fade or draw on demand. Funny how validation of something that you feel is correct for oneself feels so pleasing and confidence building.
Thanks Michael
Remember the grunts of Tim the tool man Taylor? I am doing those right now!💪👌👍😎
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
I live near Tampa. I would like to know when you’re doing clinics down here again. Is that posted somewhere?
Hi Anthony! I wish! Our borders are still closed for Covid and there is a mandatory 14 day quarantine for travel returning to Canada at $1000.00 per night! 😱😱 and we have a 8:00 PM Curfew to boot as well…
Shawn, I think I am getting this but still do not see the whole picture of slashing with a sword compared to the golf club. the visuals mix it up for me because the sword is horizontally flat as see it but the golf club is more vertical and it seems to me as you come down you have to more your arms to align with the vertical face of the club. If you could cover this more with an actual flat sword and show how it is the same motion with the arms and elbows I think it would benefit me and perhaps others. This is a big stumbling block for me. There is another problem: When I set up like hogan with the inside of the elbows pointing out, it seems very awkward and out of place instead of the elbows pointing towards each other. what am I missing here?
The sword blade is the leading edge of the club; like a sawing action through the stem!
As for elbows; if you feel there is too much tension and strain to “place” them the way you are perceiving, then do a goldie locks with them and find the arm position that allows to you swing with ease and freedom in the direction you want to start the ball.
