In this video you say to feel the weight of the sword slashing through. In others you talk about feeling the weight of the arm club unit.
What should my focus be?
Feel the weight of the club head and swing that through the ball towards the target / intermediate point.
Feel the weight of the entire club and swing it in the direction of the target / intermediate aim point.
Feel the weight of the arm and club hanging from the shoulders and swing that.
I seem to be able at times to feel the 1st or 2nd option but not the 3rd.
Good questions!
See “lead hand release”, “trail hand release”, “release fine tuning” and then see the throwing series as the different lengths of clubs will change the way that you use the heft of the arms and club!

Mr. Clement:
I was reviewing the diagonal stance video. Am I correct that if playing a draw, I drop the trail leg and foot back (closed stance), I do NOT have to pre-turn my body?
Brian
Actually, the video was under WRX Working the Ball with a Diagonal Stance with your student Chris.
The fine line we dance on that one is that the alignment can really be thrown off;
Make sure you have a full flight plan; then a nice intermediate point to help you set up properly into the flight plan; then you want to deliver the action slightly to the right of the intermediate point with the knowledge that the club face is closed enough to draw back to the end target.
You can do this with a square stance and ball back of center or a diagonal stance with ball center.
Dear Shawn, when the right elbow is turned, so that the right armpit is pointing upwards, it will make the clupface quite open at address. Should I then take a stronger grip or is it fine to start with an open club face? and how open is fine?
The club should not look open after that no; the acid test is this: when you deliver the task in the direction you want to start the ball, how is the ball flying?
High right and Close the face
Low left and nice hook? Close face less.
This video was an eye opener for me and really the most important missing part in my swing. Suddenly everything in my swing felt effortless, powerful and natural. Fantastic lessons Shawn, I am really grateful for this information.
Right on Morten! So glad you are having a blast with your golf;
Have a great day! Shawn
Hey Shawn, when working on this, my blackout happens coming down feeling like my club face is wide open or I guess my brain thinks I’ll shank. Am I to just trust and focus on releasing to the target?
Very important videos for you to watch on premium:
