A Netted area works very well Luc! 👍😀

When you make your practice swing, you want to send that divot of grass TOWARDS THE TARGET! Not just make an empty headed practice swing while looking at the grass! See the “task update” and “kinetic chain facilitation series” #6! See from the drone view how the divot ALWAYS STARTS FROM CENTRE OF STANCE towards the target when your focus is to deliver the turf over the intermediate point towards the target! 👍😀

Hi Hélène! Please do not worry about that; Hideki Matsuyama tried to get rid of his pause at the top and his ball striking has fallen off a bit (they were talking about that this morning with Brandel Chamblee)
What is important for speed, is the ability to deliver the swing’s action release in the direction you want the ball to start. Work on feeling the FULL RELEASE (see all the release videos by typing the word “release” in the search box at the top of the list of videos by date)
Then you see the “throw the club” and the “throwing series”
Then you see the “goldie locks series”
Then you see the “target confirmation series” and “kinetic chain facilitation series” and “task update” video.
Enjoy! As you should have a NATURAL PAUSE at the top of the swing when you don’t fight with your swing and throw the club with EASE and VELOCITY towards the direction you want to start the ball.

hello again! I have just received my Swing Caddy!. its really a strong practice as I increase the velocity. merci ☺️

Thank you so much 😊

Yes sir!! Boom!!👍😀

Guess I should have learned a 2 hand forehand or started playing golf as a backhander! Thanks Shawn.

Hi Chris! There is no way for you to micro manage this action without the task; when you throw the club to a specific target, the brain has to go to the ground to secure the kinetic chain with the lead leg, and depending on the direction, the height, the lie and the stance, it will know exactly how much to shift so that it can remove the body out of the way at just the right amount so that the arms can be brought through in that direction. This works at 40 million bits of info per second. You thinking about it works at 40 bits per second, one thing at a time and is a massive sabotage to the whole deal. So:
1-get good at throwing the club
2-see the first “off season training series” and there is a great sequence in there where we walk and throw the club in perpetual motion for your mind to become aware of the feel while you are doing the task continuously without thinking about it.
3-see “kinetic chain facilitation series” to polish and feel more depth in the movement.

Thx, i started to understand the throwing the club concept after i tested. I start to swing the club easy back and forth . Then, i pretend to throw the club further and without adding force from my arms, the body automatically do the squat and jump up during downswing and release. Also, i hear the swish sound during this action so i know the swing is faster. Is my testing and understanding correct?

FANTASTIC, PLEASE CONTINUE!😀👍

Now , in Hong Kong, all the sports facilities are closed so that I practice inside my home. Only chip n small pitch is allowed. I discovered on my pitching, my club hit the low point inconsistently, what’s wrong with me? My focus is off or what?

Anyway, thx for kindly attention!👍🏻

Did you watch all my chipping videos Chris? THEY ARE BY FAR THE BEST! Make sure you see the chipping video as well in the first kinetic chain series too!

You bet Les! The feet together drill first; to be able to finish the backswing, BOTH legs must be allowed to come up as the pelvis and ribcage turn out of the way. Then to activate the legs in the downswing, focus on TASK, and feel a nice throw of the club in the direction you want to start the ball.
see “feet together drill” and “feet together back to feet apart” which is all about ground forces; then see “pumping up the swing volume” and “kinetic chain facilitation series”

Hey Anthony! Sorry I missed this one! You simply want to pre-deploy your arc into dynamic action like the ball on a string analogy. Go to the “throwing series” and see the Driver version with the “hammer throw” comparison! You will love it!

Let’s go! 👍😀

Hey Donald! Sorry I missed this one! I got the perfect view for you! Go to the “kinetic chain facilitation series” and see the “sending the divot peels into the bush while walking” drill which I do with the irons AND fairway woods. You will see that the SHAVING OF GRASS BEGINS FROM CENTRE AND MOVES FORWARD ALONG THE GROUND FROM THERE. Because the centre of mass of the woods are behind the shaft, the face is more shallow as well, we need to play the ball a tad more forward that with the irons and we have a better buffer zone of success from there; but you always want to MATCH THE BALL POSITION WITH THE DIRECTION YOU ARE GOING TO DELIVER YOUR RELEASE INTO. So make sure you take the time to practice simple “goldie locks” at address to feel what is too forward, then too back then just right for that particular shot.

EXACTLY!!👍😀👌💪

I hear you!😝

We use the Rapsodo launch monitor for the outdoor tracker;

Hi Ernst! When you see the “kinetic chain series” you realize that the golf swing is 2 kinetic chains with a sweet transition at the top of the backswing like in the “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” Then see “kinetic chain facilitation series” and you will see that the engagement of the kinetic chain from the ground up is what pulls the arms and club down and through to the direction of the target.

Hi Anthony! Your brain does not have an evil side to it ready to snatch the club and sabotage your chip shots!!! Your issues can always be traced back to the thoughts your were having just before you made your swing!!
-were you getting ready to use the weight of the arms and club to cut through a dandelion stem along the ground into the direction of the intermediate point and did you feel you had the right amount of momentum to land the ball on the spot you needed to to then roll into the hole?
-or did you see a ball and wanted to make sure you did not chunk it?
1-always always always see, feel and hear what you want with the flight plan
2-make your prediction: When you let the weight of the arms cut the grass in the direction of the intermediate point, does it feel like the stem of the dandelion will get cut first and then the grass in front of it after?
3-Goldie locks the amount of momentum if you are not sure to get rid of any possible interference in the swing.
4-stay with the task at all costs, make your observations after the fact

Shawn,
Much appreciated.
Anthony
