Been watching your videos for years and new to the premium channel so maybe you’ll cover it later but; how high do I take the backswing? The club feels weightless and I have good flexibility so I’m not really sure where to stop going up. Too far up causes more distance for the arm club unit to travel which opens up more room for error. Where’s the sweet spot?
Hey Lance! If I were to line up 100 golfers and tell them to bring the club back 3/4 in the backswing, you would see all colours of the rainbow because nobody can see what they are doing when they are doing it and this is the insanity of the teaching industry.
The purpose of the backswing is to gather enough momentum to feel like you can whip the club easily in the direction you want the ball to start; the latest videos we just posted about the “super slow-super relaxed-super wide backswing would be ideal for you because as you come up super slow, you can monitor if you have enough to whip through in the other direction. This is first thing.
Then you simply turn your attention to the “what does it feel like when I whip the club powerfully and easily that way through my intermediate point? Oh yeah, about like this…and the brain will get you exactly the backswing you need for that task. YOU CAN’T MAKE ANY ERRORS, the “be careful” and “watch out” you “keep your margins for error low” is all BUFFALO BAGELS.
YOU ARE PINOCCHIO WITHOUT THE STRINGS AND A PERFECT LEARNING AND ADAPTING MACHINE. See “pre-motor cortex series” to show you how to hone this amazing talent!
Hi Shaun, Is it the body that swings the arms by using the ground? Really enjoy the videos but still unertain so I’m trying to get the basics right. Kind regards, Eric
Hi Eric! Yes, we are using the weight of the arms and club to deliver our task in the direction we want to start the ball; see “kinetic chain facilitation series” and “kinetic chain series” as well as “backswing levitation” and “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy”
Should we be letting the arms drop at the top of the backswing and then shift weight over? Or hands drop?
When you let the arms fall through towards the target, the brain has to grab the ground with the lead leg and turn the body out of the way to let the arms pass through. See “kinetic chain series” and “kinetic chain facilitation series” and “unstoppable momentum series”
The pro I take lessons from a wants me to work on this specifically , so Once again you’ve explained things that resonate with me. Will be practicing this tomorrow. I need more turn in my swing. It’s great but still need more turn. Thanks Shawn
Yes sir! One of the nice drills for this is the axe drill; see “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” video and really feel that you are ALLOWING the legs to be USED in the backswing to heave the arms and club away and into a nice levitation up the rib cage. See “backswing levitation” as well!
Shawn , I’ve video taped my swing and on my backswing I’m swinging to flat and to the inside of lifting the club , the first third of the swing looks ok but I’m laying the club off badly at the top ( plus over swinging like before lol ) any advice or drills ?
See “how to match backswing to ball direction” video first;
