Can you “throw the blur” as a task? Tried some chips today really focusing on watching the blur as a way to stay anchored and it went VERY well. Making sure I see the blur track and letting the blur release me kept me super anchored. Suitable feel : task?
Big Time!! With full swings too! You are throwing through the arc-blur into the direction you want to start the ball; Savy’s main task!
Hey Shawn. I was performing the blur over the ball drill today. I noticed that although I addressed the ball in the middle of the club face, as I as was watching the blur, it looked like the heel of the club was moving over the ball. Does this mean I have been standing too close? Any further back and I feel too far away??? Thanks!
Confirm using the goldilocks series distance to ball video; you are always confirming that you will be able to deliver your task through the arc-blur into the direction of flight. Too far and you will feel like you are going to fall forward to keep the club in the arc and too close feels like you will need to hang on. After you deliver a few and can confirm that peak speed was past and through, and you are striking centre clubface, you are good!
Great! Thanks! Will try to get out this week and try it out on the range.
hey Shawn, been trying to use this approach but from time to time I am hitting snap hooks. Like off the planet snap hooks with irons and woods. Any tips to minimize the risk of this happening. I think my arms tend to outrun my downswing when this happens.
Hey Frank! Sorry for the late reply;
1-you need to confirm that you are delivering through the ball with “target confirmation series”
2-ennemies number 1 and 2 to your swing are EFFORT AND CONTROL
See “momentum already there before you start the swing
3-if you are still hooking, and you have confirmed that your strain is low and you have released through to the target, then your grip-club relationship is too strong.
another check point is “how to match backswing to ball direction”
4-See “fade fine tuning”and practice your fades regularly to keep the swing in balance
Hey Shawn!
Love this one and I just watched everything I could locate regarding the grass whip, yesterday (yes, I am buying one!). I began practicing this indoors using a wedge and my strike pad. I’m beginning to see a pattern where I am now striking the pad in about the same location forwards and backwards while ALSO noticing the blur. Very powerful to engrain direction. I also am emulating your swing as much as possible, using my legs more and also getting more proficient at snapping the club “out there”. The term “snapping the club” seems to strike a chord with me because, though I may never snap the club AT the ball (in my mind) but I do sometimes throw the club towards the ball rather than “out there”. Terrific stuff!

Right on Mark! You are learning a skill exactly the way you are supposed to and will own it and be able to apply it in all kinds of circumstances on the course going forward and sharpen that skill. Fun is an understatement! 😀👍
So Shawn even with the strong grip and swinging to the left wouldn’t hook it?
Hey Glenn!
there are a couple of very key factors that would need to occur for you to hook it:
1-hitting hard and putting a lot of effort into the shot and releasing AT THE BALL
2-loosing your task and defaulting to the ball
in the Fade fine tuning and draw fine tuning videos, you will see that yes, there is such a thing as too closed and this varies hugely with each individual anatomically as well as developmentally.
When you deliver the task (see all the task videos on site if you don’t know what I mean) through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball with ease and a good velocity, and the ball does curve with too much hook, then your grip and club relationship is too closed to begin with.
also see “matching backswing to ball direction” video because if the backswing does not match, the ball will not do what you want.
