Shawn – I’m not clear on the door frame example. I see where you put the ball behind the hammer and next to the hammer but why call it a door frame? Does the analogy simply mean a solid object?

Allowing the release is such a different feeling than producing a release. Short shots are much easier,trying to ramp up the speed without adding force I find difficult. Pumping legs I know is the key but getting there is tough. My hands roll over much earlier on both the backswing and forward swing.

Hey Shawn, do you not recommend aligning your shoulders to the slope when playing hilly shots?

Shawn, something really clicked on this video for me. I know we’ve talked about the door frame a ton before, but as I now focussed on swinging square into the doorframe, like driving a nail straight in with my hammer, I got amazing results. It helped me get my hands all the way through before the club release into the door frame. I shot 43 on the front (with still some erroneous shots), but shot 37 on the back. If I can keep this up, I should be able to consistently score under 80. Thanks!

Hey mate, loving your advice all the way from down in Australia, thank you for your help! Any thoughts on avoiding lateral movement on the take away? I’m a 5 marker and don’t always manage to keep my eye on my ‘blade of grass’ back and through when I make a swing. All the best, Neil

Shawn, this drill has really opened the floodgates for me in terms of effortless speed. As I take a look at my swing down the line, it appears as though I am getting a bit across the line at the top. I am not super concerned because I am able to still stay with my target and send it out to the right of my intermediate point, but I don’t want to engrain this habit if it is something that can causes issues down the road. It seems that if I keep my ACU more in front of my body at the top my wrist hinge causes the club to go slightly across. Any issues with this feel if I can still create my desired shot shape to the target?

Hi Shawn, refreshing my divot skills on range with spring golf. I am confused by the fact that the deepest part of the divot is forward of the bottom of the swing which is under that sternal notch. I can’t wrap my head around this and feel like I am lunging a bit forward to try to get that nice divot ahead of the ball like you do. Any thoughts, drills (on grass or mat) to help?
Thanks
Brian

Merci Shawn. J’ai de la difficulté à comprendre comment doit être la face de mon driver à l’adresse avec cette méthode. Il serait intéressant d’avoir ce swing avec la go pro afin de voir la tête du driver à l’adresse. Je suis nouveau sur wisdom in golf et trouve ça vraiment intéressant. Bravo Shawn!

I keep coming back to this video. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. When I make my transition move, I have a ton of pain in my lead thumb. Idk if it’s my wrist hinge, my grip, or what. I don’t actively hinge my wrist on the way back. I mostly feel the hinge after transition, but the force of the club against my lead thumb really hurts, unless I tape my thumb up like it’s broken 😭

Shawn,

Been following your process for awhile here and enjoy the videos. I have a monitor to collect data and measure the progress. I have two questions, is there a secret to the using the weight of the arms and clubs, I feel the swing momentum with a weighted clubs not so much with my regular ones. Also my launch angle and spin rate are high, greater than should be. I think this is contributing to loss of yards. Do you have any suggestions? I am using the blur and swing next to ball to find club path and swing low point. Thanks Chris

Really a great series to watch, they all are btw 😀, after you’ve been going deeper down that WIG path. I have to ask, has Brandel ever commented or given you feedback on these? Wondered if you’ve ever met him. Seems very straightforward on Golf Channel.

I tried this today and felt like I was flinging the ball off the trigger finger-I hit the ball almost 3 clubs further-with a draw and sometime a terrible hook, lol! my right leg is almost 2 inches longer then my lead left leg-I have an artificial lead hip and 2 fake knees-however, I still felt like I could rip the ball (skip the stone off the water) out to my target-and I felt so low to the ground and very powerful!

I started to let my right (trail) elbow stay in as I turned back and it helped me stay organized and emphasized the spring of the trigger finger. It probably cost me some distance but it was a money game and the ground is so hard at our course in TN that I needed some control! I am 64 and the guys let me play form the 3/4 combo tees even though I should really play from the threes but today I was driving the ball even with our longest hitters which was very cool!

We won 3/4 balls and $$$-I reached a lot of greens today and realized I cannot putt!-but the trigger finger gave me great control of my chips which was very cool-I missed a lot of putts on my way to an 84- (46-39).

Hi Shawn, am new to the site and so far hitting it significantly better!
With chipping do you still use the closed face/neutral grip method?
ie. neutral face/strong grip? thanks Rob

Hello Shawn, I’ve tried to find the link of the training aids that you’re talking about in many of your videos (grass cutting tool, magnetic snap), in the member home zone, but didn’t find it. Can you help? Thanks
