Hi Shawn,
How engaged do your biceps feel in the down swing? What about the forearms? I’m finally getting consistent with the perpetual motion drill as long as I let my biceps feel like they’re falling and not engaging much. It still seems counter intuitive that I can generate more transferable power by finding the ground and letting gravity do its thing… thanks for all of your amazing videos!
Sorry i missed this one! You Definitely do not want to pay any attention to any particular muscle groups during the swing as this would short circuit your task in the long run. You will get little glimpses of awareness during each swing and that is ok for you to simply enjoy and let roll off your back; then find the ball, create another flight plan, find the IP, and deliver the action through the arc-blur through the IP and into the beginning of the flight plan with a nice sling that is easy to produce.
Hi Shawn,
I just signed up a few days ago and am up to the Swing Technique videos. I have noticed along the way that there have been many of questions about your head moving up and down in the full swing. I suggest you refer your students to someone who may have been the best-ever striker of the golf ball – Byron Nelson. This video, in real speed and slow motion, demonstrates the concept pretty well:

This is exactly what I do in my left handed swing; my righty swing is more like Jack’s and Sam Snead;
See “pumping up the swing” video on premium as well as “feet together back to feet apart” and “anti-manipulation” for a great drill on how to naturally do and feel this at home!
Thank you for posting!
Do you consider throwing the club a task? Or is it something you try and pair with a hammer or cutting the grass task? I have a hard time thinking of both at the same time.😂
Yes, super deluxe task!
You are throwing the club in the direction you want to start the ball AND YOU PREDICT THAT THE STEM OF THE DANDELION IS IN THE WAY IF YOU DO! That way, you get to have your cake and est it too! 🤛😀😎
So see “predict solid contact” and “goldie locks series” as an add on to the throwing the club;
Thanks, I think I finally figured out how to have both focuses. I stand behind the balls, pick a Target and a flight. Take a practice swing feeling the hammer while really focusing on the target. Focus on the target the whole time setting up to the ball, feel the hammering task to the target, and then swing. It’s more of a focus to the target and then think about the task right before the swing. I was too focused on the ball and door frame.
Exactly!! The task needs to be associated with the target; a “means by which” the ball gets delivered into the flight plan! 😀👍
While performing a complete golf swing should I be aware of the motion (weight) of the club as it travels through space to the finish position? When performing the throwing exercises should I maintain a consistent spine angle as if I were over the ball swinging towards a target?
Thank You, Duffer Dave
Hi Dave!
It is impossible to feel the weight of the club everywhere in the swing as when it gets to the top of the backswing, it is weightless! But you can bet the house on gravity as it will always bring everything back down! 😀👍
As for posture, that would be a no-don’t worry about it as the gluts and legs when engaged, are needed to throw the club when allowed and NOT THINKING ABOUT THEM.
The machine you own has a 40 million bit per second processor and is a flipping genius at tasks like throwing! 😀👍😉
Star War quote: “Your focus determines your reality.” Thanks!
That is a great quote!!😀👍
How do you know when you reach your maximum speed.? Do you start to loose your balance or control? What speed do you endeavor to actually play golf at?
Strain or effort in the swing=3/10 and velocity is 7/10
Should feel very easy to whip the club nicely!
Stay in that pocket always!
