Hi Shawn,
this video is really very, very good.

When I feel maximum power in my left leg (stretching upwards) when the club head reaches the dynamic center of the swing (two to three foot behind the ball), the snap happens without effort and I feel a good and kinetically effective swing.

However, often I do not feel the power climax in the left leg at that point and the snap is dull.
I suspect that this happens because of something during the reverse at the top of the back swing.

Do you observe a key thing at the top among your students that makes this timing/snap sensation less likely to occur correctly ?

Best regards

Eckhart

Does it matter that my club face begins to open on the takeaway. I can’t find much on the takeaway on your site. Thanks Shawn.

Delete this comment. I asked my question before finishing the video and you answered it like you always do. Great video

Shawn, I think this was a very good video. No matter how much you think about cutting grass, or slicing a dandelion stem, the brain still sees the ball and we need to send that object into our flight plan. I think the key is the hammering through that little white thing out to the target. IMO that keeps the brain focused on the real task which is getting that white object to where we want it to go. Personally, I have struggled with the stem and other tasks because my brain no matter what, knows that we have to hit that ball to get it where we want. I think this will help a great many of us.

I found this video while searching for practice routines. I’m just like Mu with the head sway in the backswing. I noticed it when looking at my swing analysis.

I’d really love for you to do a video on how to structure a practice session. I practice at an indoor facility on Full Swing launch monitors and I usually spend about 30 minutes on drills or swings and then play 9 or 18 holes of simulator golf depending on how much time I have. But I never have a plan on what I’m working on on a given day.

As an aside, how much should I be videoing my swing? I’ve noticed that I can make it look pretty on video but the reality is that I’m manipulating a lot

Hi Shawn, do you have any experience or perspective in regard to double overlap grip? I moved to this grip a little while ago with the hopes of reducing pushing to early with the right arm, but now I realize that that motion will always happen when/if I’m focused on the ball as opposed to the target. Now that I understand using gravity and throwing toward the target, I’m curious about moving toward your prescribed grip, just wanted to get your thoughts on double overlap compared to your grip. I feel like double overlap gives be two fingers to sling clementine with, as opposed to one finger.

When determining ball position for a draw you say center of the sternum slightly in front of the ball . . . Is that established before or after you get into your side bend? When I get into side bend axis tilt it seems my center moves back behind the ball. Thanks!

Hi Shawn, new member here, great stuff! You mention the intermediate point in many videos but haven’t heard a detailed explanation of what that is exactly?

You are next level, Shawn. The way you demonstrate and those extra details you provide are brilliant.

Great video. Perfect illustration how I want to swing the club. What adjustment required in setup for a ball slightly below feet, rock hard dirt lie? 100 yard shot so using a wedge.
Also, staying with the shot is a real challenge for me, at times, with this shot. Task adjustment when getting ready to play this shot?
Thanks in advance!

The old dandelion stem. One of the roots of the Wisdom in Golf tree. All those years of mowing them, if I’d only realized their impending impact on my better golf swing. Great vid Shawn. Love how we always go back and touch on the core principles and put a fresh “spin” on it.

My chipping and pitching has been horrendous. I can never hit the center of the club face and my club path is extremely left (like -10°!!) no matter what I do. I occasionally shank so badly that the ball hits the shaft! My short game used to be my biggest strength, now I’m terrified to miss a green. I can’t figure out what changed.

I’m going to try this, I have those kind of tees. How do you engage the kinetic chain on these shots? Are you still using your legs? Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong.

Should ball position be off the high foot?

Do I need Vimeo to watch these videos now?

Another great video Shawn! I was finally able to get to a golf simulator & I was hitting a lot of shots left/pulling. I know I was swinging left, but I tried to tell my brain to swing right more. I would hit some great shots doing that, but most were still going left. Do you have any ideas on what I should do? Thanks again!!
