Hey Shawn – second month in your premium program – SIMPLY AMAZING!

You know whats great about the slow motion at the end? It shows all the pieces you teach on and I can observe – the tilt at address, the amount of turn you have, the arms open at top, how steady your head is on the downswing and then the release of the wrists. I am learning a TON….will send in a video next week for us to review.

I have struggled mightily with putting! The technique you described is so simple and helped me make several 3-10 foot putts today-I feel locked into the intended line-sadly I reverted to becoming ball-bound and not target focused for 9 holes or so but then started to reach greens -actually-I am hitting a lot of wedges 10 yards or 15 yards further so, in a way, my problems are all good!

Shawn,

When you say “open the club face just a smidge,” are you weakening the grip? Or, are you manipulating the club open keeping the same grip but turning your wrists slightly at address?

This worked really well for me with my irons. I just imagined I had the Kettle bell in my hands instead of the golf club and proceeded to break door frames, it was that easy! Could you talk about the adjustment for driver? At first I was struggling but then I thought to imagine the Kettle bell out away from me a bit more to simulate the longer club.

Hi Shawn, As always love all your videos. Just getting back into golf swing of things for this year. One question I have is, on my practice swings I don’t seem to be make ground contact or brush the turf with the sole of the club. Is this due to not engaging my release properly with my lead foot, if so are there any triggers from backswing to release. Keep up the awesome work with new task images! Thanks Chandra

Hi Shawn. a top view or GoPro view would be helpful for your next lesson. I liked the one where you had the alignment sticks (one vertical in the ground and one laying in front of it) but that one would have been helpful with a drone view. Is there a way you could post a diagram?

Hey Shawn, question regarding perpetual motion drill. When I do this, I see the blur tracing the arc on the through swing appropriately. But, when I swing back into my backswing from the finish position, the path of the club is all over the place. Most of the time, it seems like its coming outside in. What I mean is, it doesn’t trace the arc coming back. I hope that makes sense! Any help/thoughts you can provide?

Amazing Speed after the collection-never heard that loud Swoosh before so far in front of the impact point!!!

Shawn, you mentioned near the end about the club face but how do you align the club face to match the blurr and produce the shot shape you want? I often feel my brain wants to help and hold open the face for a fade and shutting the face to help the draw…sort of defeating the momentum throw through the intermediate point. Thanks.

Hi Shawn, I’m in your boat with the fade. Either dead straight balls that start directly over the intermediate point or a slight draw. It’s frustrating trying to get the fade to work but it definitely tames the draw as a benefit!

Hi Shawn, I’ve tried feet together so many times but I can never keep my balance. I can’t figure out what’s going wrong. I also can’t do the 1 leg drill either without losing my balance. I always fall backwards with both drills. 😭

This video has piqued my interest. I read the comments here and this is partially addressed, but I am seeking more definitive guidance here, Shawn.

1) is it appropriate to use this as a task (“battering ram through the door frame”)?

2) if yes, how do you tie that to your target/intermediate point/flight plan? “Battering ram through door frame to right of intermediate point” for a draw?

My first question as a member so I’m going to make it count!

Short version of question: how long does it take to ingrain the feet together/one foot drills into your swing?

Long version: I have a huge problem with early extension – lifting my right foot off the ground before impact. I think it comes from years of playing competitive tennis when younger due to my forehand technique. Comes out WAY more on the course (under stress) than on the range. My range game is 70s, course still 80s. And it can DESTROY a hole – shanks, 10 yard duffs – the worst. Any shot too – chips, pitches – and it seems to be a bigger problem with shorter irons right now than the longer clubs.

Before hitting I try the feet together and perpetual motion as a pre-shot warm up to get the feeling (also a hybrid I call ‘flat feet’ where I have feet apart but focused on keeping the right foot down).

Other than just putting in the reps, any other thoughts, feels, pre-shot warm-ups or things I should be working on to try and improve/prevent this right foot up?

Obviously it leads to me focussing it on during the swing too (rather than target, int point) which CAN help but long term isn’t a solution…

oops, I was pre-turning for everything but putts, lol-man can I make a shot hook and run!!! Discovered my trigger finger-very cool and will the brace automatically create a draw flight?

Shawn, which videos and process might you recommend for someone averaging 77-78 (3 hdcp) and looking to continue getting down to scratch and better?
