Best ever grip video,has finally relaxed my mind on having a strong grip,thank you for that.But I wanted to mention hopefully with no contradiction with regards to the backswing,I tend to set my wrists earlier during the backswing,so my initial shoulder/body turn is fairly slight.So when my hands get to about hip height my wrist hinge has already taken place,and I have created an angle between arms and club shaft.Then I complete the rotation to the top.I find this allows me to remain more centred,and put into effect the so important Kinetic Chain sequence from the top of the backswing.I think this is slightly different to your initial move in the backswing.To illustrate the position I am describing more clearly.I stand in the normal setup posture,then holding the club,I hinge my wrists directly upward.Then I swivel my body position around,leaving my arms and club where they are.That is roughly my half backswing position I have described above.I obviously make allowances for my strong grip.Does this earlier wrist set contradict or compromise your teaching,or can I incorporate this into my swing and still take advantage of some of the other great nuggets you have to offer,such as the best grip video ever.
By the way the hinge and swivel example is taken from a book written by Beverley Lewis where she describes it as where ideally to should be about half way through the backswing.It’s not my creation or invention. Many Thanks

Regarding ball position, are you saying the center of the heals as a starting point for all clubs? Lob Wedge thru Driver.

Irons yes, woods no. See “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”
I feel like I have and intermediate point and a target but when I am thinking of throwing the club I am hooking the ball too much. Any suggestions.
Yes, what is the level of effort on your throws?? See “pre-motor cortex series” and fine tune the delivery first; then see “using the weight in the swing-axe drill with Savy” and finally “draw fine tuning”
Let me know how you do!
At the halfway point in the downswing is the right hand palm facing slightly down so the clubface looks about what it was at this stage in the backswing?
That is the last place you want to be mentally as we are beyond terrible with body part positioning; your anatomy is so well put together to take care of this aspect of the swing!! See “throwing the club” and then see “lead hand release” “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning”; finally, see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” to learn how to put the ball in the way of you throwing to the target.
If you are not going to the target, you are defaulting to the ball and therefore have no place to put the ball; the ball can and is a PRECISE INTERSECTION only when the target is front and center in the mind and you are delivering a specific task to a specific direction where you want to start the ball.
Great stuff Shawn I can do the perpetual motion drill but then I freeze over the ball and then lift up in the backswing any more thoughts videos or swing triggers I feel like this is the missing piece for me thanks
See “how to start the swing” and “anti manipulation” videos on premium!

Hi Shawn,
I am a fan of how you teach to learn feelings in a golf shot and looking into the bigger picture to allow the human body to design the shot, this for sure is the best way to learn golf. This has significantly improved my game.
However, i do want to request that during your ball position video in which you are teaching about draw and fades if you can highlight with dark prominent colors or logos on your wall about targets, that would be beneficial because currently i cant see where the keep out sign or wet paint or trees are in your target wall.
Looking forward to finish following your entire video training lessons.
Thanks
Adeel
Hi Adeel! Yes, we address that in future videos; you can always identify my intermediate point just in front of my ball when seeing the swing from down the line; super important!
Keep going! You are going to enjoy the journey down the Rabbit hole and appreciate movies like “a week in Utopia”. Which is a nice Golf Movie with Robert Duval.
