Awesome stuff James, thank you for taking the time to write this terrific feedback; much appreciated!

Battering ram is same as “shawn’s Favourite drill” which is the same as “throwing the club” which is the same as “whip cutting through the dandelion stem” etc…the key is to stick to a task that resonates with you and become an expert at that task.

In the battering ram drill when Shawn uses the club to bust through a door frame and explains how gravity will get you to release was an Great AHA ! Moment for Me . Thank You for such a quick response

Only of you tend to hit it in the heel! 😝
Mu has long arms and tends to not deploy them enough at address and when delivering through the ball to the target, tends to hit closer to the heel.

We are simply letting the swing move over the intermediate point; no “in to out” or “out to in” business; I had just mentioned that when Mu had the face too open, the TENDENCY WAS TO COMPENSATE AND SWING TO THE RIGHT TO PREVENT THE BALL FROM GOING TO THE LEFT. Otherwise just enjoy the goldie locks moments of too open and too closed!😀👍

Got it. I tend to have some difficulty with the driver/3W and the draw. Something is short circuiting and I feel like I can not get out that draw IP. I just can’t see the picture well. I end up playing a cut.

Not a problem usually but would love to add that capability to my bag. Was hoping this was the nugget.

What I have found recently is that trail hand release is huge for the driver. What is particularly weird is the draw fits my eye much better with the irons. Confused? I am…but really enjoy the videos. Helped me immeasurable.

This is why most PGA tour players prefer to hit fade with woods and draw with irons; because the woods require a ball position that is farther forward (fade flavour) and you are farther from the ball and the side vision infects the set up even more for a fade propensity.

Thanks Shawn… good to know that is normal and I’m not alone!

This is great feedback Robert, thank you! 😀👍

Sweet!!!👌👌

Hi Bruce! If you stay with your stock face angle at address and I told you to play the ball back of centre, get behind it and let the swing go to the right of the target, would you not think I was crazy because there is no way that ball would ever draw back towards the target? This is the predicament that most golfers are in right now. See the first video in the “consistency series” and then see “draw fine tuning” as a start.

The first order of the day is to see the ball CURVE LEFT, and not go straight left. Straight left is just a square face with a path that goes left which is confirmed by your divot angle. You swing left because your club face is WAY TOO OPEN. Once you close it enough to see the ball curve left consistently (yes, you will pull draw the ball for the first few and this is the idea) then your brain can PREDICT that when you close the face a certain amount, the ball will CURVE LEFT. GUESS WHAT? Now you can swing to the right of the target and stop coming over the top and you now know the ball will come back for you!! 👌👍😀

Hybrids are meant to replace the irons they represent; 3 iron is a 3 hybrid and that is also the same as a 7 wood. 4 iron is 4 hybrid or 9 wood.

Hi Craig! You want that trail hand secure as well and that would have 0% influence on the Over the top action. See “throwing the club” and the “throwing series” as well as all the “release” videos that come up in the search box.

Hi Robert! It is time to tilt with purpose! 😀
see “tilt mile markers” and see the “goldie locks series” and use the goldie locks principle to determine the low point of the swing. Also, see the latest “unstoppable momentum” video using the divot to determine low point when tilting.

Hi Gregg, and welcome!
if you look at our “task trumps everything” and “top 3 tasks” videos, you will realize we are already Pinocchio without the strings and don’t need to THINK about all these positions to accomplish the swing. You can master a task but you can’t master a hornet’s nest of swing positions. This has been scientifically proven over and over again in sport science and many teachers have missed the boat.
Now the shallowing of the club HAPPENS, when you deliver the club towards the target; if you want to stay steep, just deliver towards the ball! 😝 See “throw the club” and “the throwing series” as well as the “grass whip training” videos and for the squaring of the club face, see the first few videos of the “consistency series” and “draw fine tuning” and the “goldie locks series”
Take your time as you will get a lot of AHA moments along the way; Enjoy!

Hi Jeremy! You are close! The thumb looks a tad long and the grip does look a tad big; maybe Mid size would be better; My hand is Men’s Large and my grip size is standard plus 4 wraps under. Midsize is too big for me and fatigues the hands. See a couple youtube videos I made for this called “stop letting go of your grip shawn clement” and “stop destroying your golf glove shawn clement” and there is another one that should pop up along the same lines; there is a good acid test with the lead hand in there.
On premium, see the latest off season training series where the first 2 or 3 videos are about “leverage in the grip and release”

Good stuff Mike!
when she had it too closed it was only 10 degrees more than what she uses; that is it for her. For most, it’s 45 degrees more closed for draw and 30 degrees more closed for the fade; yes, you heard those right! 😝👍

Glad you likes it Darryl! I noticed you are now on Eagle Plus! Congrats! Let me know what days are good for you for your weekly 1-1 session!
Shawn

Awesome William! Yes, that is spot on! My favourites are the “task update” where this can be done with “throwing the club” with the “prediction” that the stem of the dandelion is in the way of that throw which gets ball position, distance to ball, levels, and grip and club face all in line with the task. The videos for that are “task trumps everything”, “Top 3 tasks”, “task update”, “the throwing series”, “the goldielocks series” and then deeper with “pre-motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series”
Take your time, there is so much good stuff to digest and it is a blast to discover!
