Yes thats the one Shaun. The confirmation of the too loose grip I was talking about. Trick for me is to still do that and maintain loose wrists or I will push it. 👍

Shaun I was happy to hear your discussion about gripping too tight that your draw shot would not come back. I had let my grip get too weak and it has allowed me to strike my irons crisp and actually have a draw. With my driver it’s been more difficult to make the draw happen. I think my pressure is correct because I am hitting it solid and my wrists are turning over. Sometimes I get that knuckle ball nose dive left. Could I have the ball too far forward in my stance? I moved the ball back some and that seemed to help a little. Need more exploration, but I know it’s close.

It feels more natural to have the strong hammer grip with my lead hand using my irons but with my driver it feels a bit unnatural. Question: Is there any change in the fundamentals of the grip between irons and driver?

Exactly how it feels to me with my pinkey betweenthe index finger and the middle finger. I put my rt ring finger on top of the index finger on the lead hand. Great for when I start pushing with the rt hand. Practice or even while playing. I always go back to my standard overlap grip when the pushing stops. Super video for us rt side hammer throwers.

Is there any way to contact you directly? I have been a premium member for several months and have questions to ask you.

Well demonstrated and explained! Forget how important this drill is. Thanks so much.

Shawn, where do you aim your club face for a draw and a fade? Are you aiming at the target where you want the ball to end up or are aiming down the line you want your ball to start on?

Hi Shawn. After a great period of ball striking I’ve come to a point where I’ve become too focussed on set up positioning which had bled into my dynamic swinging of the club..
Being conscious of staying behind the ball can sometimes be an issue where I don’t release over and through the target..
I’ve always loved the idea of straight lines in my set up to ensure consistent ball positioning, but staying too ‘straight’ sometimes doesn’t help me stay behind it and on task.
Does this diagonal set up help you and Sav stay with the shot through your intermediate point?

Good afternoon, this is the third time that I’m watching this video. Been trying this drill yesterday and really struggling. My knees are doing the Elvis move, my weight is off balance to the front and my body is lifting through impact resulting in thin shots. Guess I have a few things to learn from this drill. 😉

Hey Shawn hope your well. I have just recently started back playing golf after a good few years out. I have joined back up to the premium channel . I somehow always end up coming back to your teaching. I am going to find somewhere to have a go at this divot drill. When i’m playing i never take divot’s always pick the ball off clean. I am sure this is robbing me of compression and distance. One question i do have. I came to see you some years back on your road trip to the UK at the Forest of Arden course. You spoke about possibly finding someone to take up your coaching system here in the UK . Did you ever go forward with it?

Hi Shawn.

At driver address, the face of driver should be closed or opened like “Working the ball” lesson? It works very well to me for iron swing, draw and fade.
In many driver lessons here, you seem not caring the degree of driver face for draw or fade except the direction of target. the face seems square to me so… I am a little confused.

I wish you understand my trouble on driver- working the ball.

2 points of clarification in this video, 1: Should we be thinking of the swing as more of a pendulum and does that feeling of more of an upright pendulum carry over to longer clubs or should the longer clubs feel more of a baseball style plane? 2: I noticed how much you bobbed up and down. Is this motion of extending in the backswing, collecting the ground in the downswing, extending in the follow through, a feeling we should be focused on or a byproduct of the task at hand? Thanks!

Hi Shawn, Any chance, now that you all are indoors for the winter, that you guys can put the dots on your clubs so we can see club head speed and club head angle at contact? You are so precise and I very between 5 and 10 degrees. I’d like to better understand what you are consistently hitting. Thx.

This is a great video, a lot to think about in there. Especially using your weight to compress the ball. I have being working on my compression so I will try to put this into action.

Fairway wood ball position with Mu: this video gives the clearest demonstration of that difference for fade vs neutral vs draw intent. Helpful. From other videos on the topic, in setting up for draw with FW, following the instructions, I’ve usually ended up feeling that the ball position was a hair too far back — but it’s subtle — maybe a 1/2 ball width. Finding the fade position comes easier for me with this club (3w; 15 degrees).
