Hi Shawn, your comment to Dr. Jeremy about keeping your awareness on the shoulder getting out of the way got me thinking. On a full backswing; feeling that you are pulling your arm/club unit towards your release with your lead shoulder is good or bad? The end results is a complete turn of my upper body with my head staying behind the ball and my arm/club unit just being along for the ride. I can’t say anything about my ball flight or contact since I’m just swinging my golf clubs on a carpet in my garage. I have a mark on it for the ball.
Thank you for all those great videos
Eric
I think tht as long as the end result is your focus is on where the release is going to be in order for the ball to start on the line of it’s intended flight! Of you feel that the kinetic chain engages and the arm-club unit is pulled theough into that release; I say good job!
Understood. For now all my focus is on were I want my release to be. The difficult part will be to keep that focus this summer with a ball in the way, water on the right and out of bound on the left 😬
Exactly Eric. The golf course is there to create doubt and test our commitment to the task. J.
Wow…you could not have said it any better!!
Good stuff Jonathan!
Yes, stay tuned!
Great lesson! Well worth the cost of admission, as always. Thanks Shawn!
Thanks Jeff!
I was just about to send you an inquiry about finding the right transition. Then you posted this video. I have always suspected that my ‘grabby’ transition was causing all sorts of issues. Especially at impact. All the positions looked good, I had decent club head speed and sometimes hit decent shots BUT impact just did not feel right. (for both full shots and short shots) Impact was quite often ‘clanky’. Of course I would occasionally take an easy swing hitting the ball a country mile and not truly understand what was going on. You mentioned in this video “starting a mini kinetic chain” and then showed the image of a club swing from your fingertips just falling back and forth. This created an ‘Aha’ moment. When I let a club swing from my fingertips, my brain could see and feel the natural transition created by gravity. You have to actually do this to get it. I think am getting closer. 🙂 Looking forward to the next video.
Right on Jonathan! You will love the other ones as we dive even deeper!!
I went to an indoor simulator to try and get my transition to mimic what happens at the apex of a swinging pendulum. Good results! The ‘clanky’ hit mostly went away and I started getting compression. However, I noticed sometimes that my focus shifted from the ball/target image to my hands over my head (trying to make a good transition occur). Oops. Direction and contact suffered when that happened. Correct me if I am wrong, but transition needs to become ‘second nature’. Hopefully, you could squeeze in a drill to cover that in the next segment of the ‘Backswing’ series. Looking forward to it.
Wonderful video! Must compliment you both for a excellent presentation. Adjusting the Doctors takeaway made all the difference then everything looked rhythmical.
Thank you John!
Shawn are you seeing a contact focus that restricts the Dr.’s head and shoulder rotational freedom forcing a cutoff follow through resulting in the head chasing the club head instead of rotating around the sternal notch???
From Ken Robie
When the brain takes control, and no longer lets the arms and club track, then that clearing action of the body gets cancelled and it becomes a “manipulated manoeuvre “ that makes it look like there is restriction…
In his rehearsal swings, there was no such obstruction…:)
