Should ball position be the same for all clubs? Like would I want to play the ball slightly back of center if I’m setting up for a draw with a 3 wood or long iron?
Same for all irons; woods and hybrids move forward because of the width of the club head, the shallower faces and centre of mass more behind the shaft. See the fairway woods videos.
Are you opening and closing the club at address by turning it with your hands in place, by moving the handle forward or back, or by changing your grip? Do you use the same procedure with the driver as with the other clubs?
Hey Sam! Sorry I missed this one; you must let go of the club, turn the club more closed or open, then regrip in the same place. See “the goldie locks series” and the video on grip-club face.
Hi Shawn,
I was associated to another website for the last 5 years, if not longer. (I’m right handed golfer) The instructor changed my strong grip to a weaker on, restricted my hip turn which had really affected my game and my back. He also said that my ball position was too far back and in the middle of my stance and it should be off my left ear or logo of my shirt. He also mentioned that I should be a fist width away from the ball. I never felt like I was compressing the ball like I used to years ago. After watching your videos, I moved the ball back to the middle for the straight fade and 1 ball back for the draw and now I feel like I’m compressing the ball and getting my distance back from my 20’s.
Is there another way or video I should look at to get the distance from the ball because with my wedges I’m reaching too much and with irons I feel okay?
Thanks Shawn. You ‘da man.
Hard to believe they are still teaching those things because if they only knew how the human machine was designed, they would stop instantly. The videos to watch are “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” which has one of the videos locking you into the proper distance to the ball based on you delivering through to the target. Did you come back to a stronger grip? See the first video of the “consistency series” as well.
Hi Shawn, I do use the “goldie locks” on chipping and putting and it’s been a godsend. My touch is getting a lot better around and on the greens.
Yes, to your question. I definitely came back to a stronger grip and I’m compressing the ball with ease.

Is your posture (spine angle) the same for for all clubs?
Very similar; but you cannot go there as your perception of the posture will distort things. You always look for purpose. “when I deliver my action in the direction I want to start the ball, is my posture allowing me to use the legs to throw the club in that direction and am I low enough that the sole of club will drag along the ground to allow this to happen? See “posture” video and “predict contact” as well as the “Goldie Locks series”
Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. I have been following your instruction for about 10 months. I am short in stature, so have always stood tall to the ball, in an attempt to ground my club. Today, after reviewing the videos you recommended, I finally got into the athletic posture. What a huge difference. I picked up about 20 yards in distance. You are a great teacher.
Down The Middle Ron
Right on “down the middle Ron”! You must be in high demand for partners! 😀👍
On my perpetual motion drill, I do not brush the grass as consistently as you do. A little above the grass; a little thick. Not constant. Is this a sign of a larger issue?
Noo!! Not at all!! Did you not know that you ARE NOT DEFECTIVE?! 😀
See “throwing the club” then see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”
Then try this drill again! 😀👍
What a difference! I was trying to manipulate the club to brush the grass.
