    Part5: 9:00 min mark:
    For fade, are we talking about changing our swing to hit a fade ?

      Not change the swing, no; we want to match the set up to the picture and then release the swing fully in the direction you want to start the ball; because the club is less closed, the ball position is forward of centre, there is no need to change the swing;
      Let the momentum flow, don’t try to make the swing do anything.

      Thank you Shawn.

      I am sorry, I missed your response 9 days ago. Setting up notifications when you reply to your members is critical – email alert. Like Youtube.

      Fade is given me issues like many. Open stance for fade and diagonal or natural stance for draw (I love Diagonal stance).

      Please give us some pointers on how you line to the target.

      DRAW: So I line up with the flag, GET BEHIND THE BALL and release the club somewhere right. Ball is drawing, I don’t know what is normal draw versus hook. 2 yards – 10 yards draw also how wind affect my draw.

      I can fade or even slice if I open my club just a touch or even keep it square.

      Will be sending you a video for your analysis – Cant wait to hear your thoughts.

    Hello Coach. Premium member here.

    Need your expert views on WIND. To make it easy on me I categorized wind directions as following

    1. Tailwind
    2. Headwind
    3. Cross wind: a Right to Left
    4. Cross wind: b Left to Right
    5. NW to SE
    6. SE to NW
    7. NE to SW
    8. SW to NE

    Assumption – constant windspeed.

    How would you paint a picture for your brain when playing with

    1. Driver (Fade or Draw)
    2. Irons ( Fade or Draw)

    Thank you.

    Hi Shawn. Love the new website and happy I now get e mail with new videos. A suggestion. Can you create a detailed index of all the videos with an outline line of content so as to make it easier to re visit stuff. Perhaps number the videos? This could be on the site or e mailed to members if easier

      Thank you Steve; will be doing something about that for sure!

      The other improvement that can be done, is a tab where you have responded to any subscriber question. I learned a lot from questions posted other subscriber, so knowing where questions are posted/or where you have responded, will help us understand concepts better. There is no way to search the current discussion/open questions.

      It is actually on my agenda for Friday with Matt!

    I’m a new member. I thought this teaching way, videos where the topic in broken down into
    Smaller detailed formats was a great way to learn. After a couple weeks of review I’m am sure this is going to be a great way to improve with the insight and in depth explanations of the swing adapted by Mr. Clement and great golfers he has used to define the commonality of the legends.

    Completing the backswing video is pure gold, Shawn. It’s amazing how far the ball goes with a backswing that is basically parallel to the ground (left arm). We are so used to seeing these huge perpendicular left arm backswings.

    Thank you Bryan! When you do things based on task as opposed to “looking for that position”, things come MUCH sooner and more potently;

    Shawn, would it be right to say, for starters, that the ball position would be the same for all irons, at the centre of you sternum ? So, an iron 5 would require the same position as a wedge? Thanks for the great videos and for making or keeping it simple.

      Yes, however, please don’t try to place in the centre for a so called “straight shot” !😝
      You play the ball slightly back of centre; more precisely the front of the ball touching centre for draw and the back of the ball touching the centre for the fade.

      To play a straight shot intentionally would require a forced manipulation that would sap power and accuracy because it prevents you from allowing the club to release you completely!

      You plan on starting the ball on a specific line that is safe and working it towards the flag or the part of the green or fairway you want to end on. The brain has no issues releasing to safety; and if the ball stays straight, you are safe, just not as close as you wanted. This way, you hit more fairways and greens and hit longer in the long run!

    Thanks Shawn, now I finally know why my 5 irons fade! The ball is too much forward in my stance. Great advice, I’ll ask for some more in the next videos. 👌

    Ok Shawn, if i understand well, your are saying let the club release, meaning there is no leading or trailing hand preference. Do I translate that right? Does it mean we just let the club go, and do not try to either pull with the leading hand or push with the trailing one? We just let go, execute the movement and the club does the rest. Did I get that right or do I need to adjust further? Thanks!

  • From Dario D'Andrea on The Grip

    Hi Shawn,

    Interesting observation as I was working on my grip a little today. I had lost the feeling of being aware of my wrist hinge in the back swing over the course of this season and I think my grip may have been the short circuit and the reason for my higher strain level as well. As I was practicing in my basement today, I tried the 10 finger grip. I felt that this grip really allowed me to secure the club more than the overlap and I was able to think of my target while waiting for the feel of the club loading. My ball compression was also better and I really felt like I nutted the majority of my strikes. What could be the reason for this? Is it as simple as saying 10 fingers suits my anatomy more than the other grip types when I am throwing the club to the target? Hopefully I can get out on the course a couple more times before the snow! I will report back if I manage to try this out on the course.. getting cold out there! 🙁

      Hi Dario! Just saw this comment, sorry I missed it!
      Yes, it all hinges (pardon the pun) on your personal anatomy! Great on you for feeling this; you are probably getting better leverage in your hands; and this could be permanent or simply help the brain tie up some loose ends with the feel of things as to the efficiency;
      You may stay with it or come back to overlap; does not matter! Enjoy the evolution!
