Hi Shawn – Taking your advice to revisit the grip… question: I have been using the standard grip that you teach (using the acid test)… how will I know if I should be using a strong or weak grip?

At the end of this video (10 min mark)…you refer to a video that talks about the arm swing versus body turn. where is this video, please?

So…. if we are using gravity and allowing our bodies to get out of the way…. how do we increase more club head speed and gain more distance?

Shawn – I like the idea of the high tee with more launch angle. However, my experience with this is to get under the ball too much and sky the ball. What should I focus on when doing this shot?

Shawn,
I recently received an email with you and Alex Fortey called “The senior golf system”. Does it have the same content as the senior series on the premium website?

I notice in other videos , like the new one posted on YouTube. , it appears that you are closing the face of club and then your secondary tilt , makes it open. But on this video , you appear not doing that! Getting confused , what angle club head position should be at the ball?

This drill/video has really put it all together for me. Love this…. I have been overthinking everything. But now…. 2 thoughts…. backswing to the top…. downswing…. slam the garage door and break the windows…. to the target. Thanks for this great analogy.

Thank you for this video particularly…Even though I have always had a strong leaning grip, this explains even better what I am doing wrong as I was not getting “through” the ball to my target. I had, overtime, begin to stop swinging through to the target and more at the ball itself. Going out to try to correctly swing as instructed here.

does this power grip and set up the same for shots under 100yds,

Hi Shawn – Spent some time at the range working on this (levitation) with the various clubs. The question I have is on the takeaway and getting to the top… in another video (older one)… I noticed that you stepped with the right foot and applies ground pressure to take the club to the top. In some of the other videos, it appears that the feet are quiet, and you are using the core to get to the top. Can you clarify this or point out a video to clear this up. Thanks in advance for your help.

Balance is a big one for me… especially with the driver. As you grip the ground with the inside of your feet, are you using the ground to start the takeaway and make the body turn into the backswing?

This video is gold Shawn, good job 🙂
I’ve always found golf grips ridiculously small compared to a tennis racket or a baseball bat. Bryson Dechambeau uses huge grips (XL size which is +6/16 whereas Midsize is +1/16) from the company jumbomax. Without going to extremes like Bryson, using a bigger grip could allow you to gain in feeling by holding it more in the palm but without create the famous space that makes the club float usually with a smaller grip.

What do you think?

Shawn I’ve been working hard on this and the draw was giving me fits. I was lining up parallel to my intermediate point playing the ball back, getting behind it and still having issues for the ball going right on me and hooking even with a strong grip. Once I started lining up To the right edge of the intermediate point (another golf ball) by draw started getting much tighter and not going right. I guess I kept thinking I need to aim right at my target for the draw and expecting a push draw but this doesn’t work for me consistently.

Maybe it’s my anatomy being slightly different or the way my mind sees it but for me to draw back to target I must aim right and draw it back.

The Perpetual motion drill helped me feel the release so much better. And along with the alignment change I wasn’t hooking the ball.

I find that hooding the club at address and having my hands neutral (effectively the same as a strong grip of course) forces me to take the club back with my left (Lead) side in my backswing, and then it forces me to swing down through the ball with my right side and my right hand staying in lag position on order to not hook it. So the hooding forces me to really feel that I have to keep that lag longer and not release early. It’s honing the feeling of holding off on the release until I’m through the ball and then also releasing out to the right more. It’s great fun when it works. Great contact and picking up an extra club length.

Now, can you do a video on the angle of attack. I feel that the reason I’m still not getting enough compression to get the distance I should be is because of the angle I’m coming into the ball. Even at my best hits coming through the ball I can only carry my 9 iron 135yds draw. I’d like to get 140-150 out of my 9.

Your thoughts?

Shawn, I stumbled into something I wanted to share. My favorite analogy right now is cutting grass. While hitting balls off a mat I rolled a ball that ended up towards the front part of the mat. For some reason I addressed the ball and my front foot ended up being right on the edge of the mat. I took a nice easy cut of the grass and just striped the ball. I now fell like I’m cutting grass off the edge of a canyon. I finish into a solid right side ( I’m left handed). It’s like your old braced tilt videos!
