When hitting a fade or draw do you set the clubface square to the target line that the intermediate point is on?

Hi Shawn, I have been watching your youtube videos with Mu. I noticed he sort of adjusts the driver from nailing a nail downwards to tilting to nailing it slightly upwards into the ball. When I do that I feel a lot more tension in my right leg and especially my right buttocks. Is this feeling correct? I have not tried it out at the range yet.

Love it! Hitting fades and draws to a flight plan has not only taken my ball striking to another level, it’s making the game so much fun!
It’s so cool ‘witnessing’ yourself hitting golf shots into a target, as opposed to trying to perfect a golf swing standing over a golf ball!

Great couple of videos with Nita. I usually watch these in a darkened room… with a furrowed brow, and a notepad and my clubs nearby. This was both informative, and fun!

Quick question though – is the sort of relaxed/slow swing tempo you demonstrated, suitable for every club in the bag?

Because I can emulate that for all my wedges, and less so for the nine, and then barely for the eight… not at all for every iron seven and longer.

As you know, the seven is the “training club”, and weirdly, I’ve become most uncomfortable with it!

Love the recurrent themes. I find I need to continue to hammer in the concept , like the nail in the doorframe, of projecting the image outward not down to the ball as target. The words you use Shawn make a big difference in outcome as per Mu’s initial stroke. The thoughts I have are critical to a decent throw=strike. Thanks.

What would be the best videos to watch for translating practice on the range to the course? I practice with purpous not just aimlessly hitting balls. Practice goes great then it’s not even close on the course.

Hi Shawn, This has really helped me …many thanks !

Hello new member here, looking forward to your teaching / coaching videos. I am an engineer by trade and love the mechanics of body and the swing and appreciate how you break things down. So…. my question is…. With the grip, interlock, my lead hand middle finger, center knuckle gets sprained (lack of better terms) after coming thru the ball, I can say I can feel my grip break down at some point after contact and come back, but that is when the tweaking happens. I don’t know if I am releasing incorrectly or what (but this is why I signed up for your videos). But the issue is gone when I switch to 10 finger and grip tighter (stronger than holding a bird). But when I do this, I don’t feel like my wrist hinges….because the forearms are tense. Hope that make sense. Thank you, Ortho

Can you use the pitching method for longer shots when in between clubs? Your swing method has me hitting my irons further I airmailed 3 greens Saturday with my stock shot using old iron distances need to recalibrate

Speechless! Your clarity is as always brilliant – it just gets better and better!
Given Covid (we are still locked down in the Colonies) could I suggest that you stick with the WIG plan, TripIt, Feel the weight and allow the ball to get in the way of the club – BOOM!
If you are new – this plan works – we get to use our bodies and brain to play golf – no matter how old we are!

I have never seen a series like this one – the Favourites are fantastic – and – this is real time tuition – “warts and all” stuff – so real, so good! Mu – bad news, soon you will be limited to a 6 iron!!! 320 yards is a good benchmark for a 6!!

Hi Shawn, my fellow players tell me that my putting stroke is not straight and I pull my putting stroke from outside to inside. I guess I just have to let my putter make the arc based on gravity, and stop trying to control the direction. Is that the right mental model?

Shawn you did this to me a long time ago at RHGC. I thought WHAT THE! Well I found that the crazy closed setup was accepted by my brain and eyes when I was able to comprehend and use the feeling of the kinetic chain and the weight of the ACU creating the DYNAMIC result at the dandelion stem. Crazy closed static= partial closed dynamic= nice draw. Squarish static at address = dynamic fade still with some compression.
Watching Pros on tv they all seem square at setup. If I do, I screw up the dynamic strike and lose the intermediate point because my problems are right under my nose= pull hook to prevent slice or swipe across the ball dynamic open face=big slice.
Great stuff.. Thanks.

Hi Shawn …really great stuff ! Regarding longer clubs (3 wood-Long Hybrids) would I still Shut the Face same as irons ?

Hi Shawn. I think this is a great video as it really helps one get the feel of how the chain works. My question is: if the speed of the hips unwind faster when we come out of the squat as the club is thrown, will this give us faster swing speed?
