You used the previous divot for Mu’s IP, but what do you do in a pristine fairway for an IP? I have trouble distinguishing a distinct IP in the fairway. Any thoughts? PS, tee boxes are usually very easy with divots!

I struggle with making the task my main focus. It gets me too ball focused and I can’t seem to flow into the picture. My best shots are when the starting target is my main focus and the blur of the club is secondary. If my mind is locked on to where I want the ball to start the body seems to find a way to get there. It’s more a feeling of whipping through the intermediate to the target. Maybe it’s just the way I process the shot from years of concentrating on the target and I need to continue to find a task that works for me.

Hey Shawn should the shoulders rotate farther than the hips (without straining of course)?

I love this drill. Especially when my swing sequence is out of whack. However, I start the step as.soon as my back swing starts. This is a great drill when you have “lost your swing”.

Shawn:
16 handicap An update on my progress,. Joined Premium In late June, struggled at 1st implementing the SC swing. Hit it good on range but not on course. I was still using some of my old swing thoughts after shooting back to back rds in the 100’s was getting discouraged and I just doubled down on your swing and rewatched this series and let go of all other swing thoughts since then low rd has been 82 with a high rd of 95. One of my golfing buddies commented on my swing looking better today and said he wanted some of what I have after I cut a corner over some trees with the driver that I have never covered before. I told him the secret. FYI: I have started listening to your podcast on the way to golf course helps me get ready to play.
Thanks for all tour help!

I had not seen this video before now. I have been trying everything to get my swing more in to out and notice its hard to get my hands up past my shoulders when I am trying to swing around my body. limited flexibility in the rotator areaI guess.
I see that at the top of the backswing your hands and club are more straight above your shoulders. I assume you draw the ball from that position. I can get my hands higher by doing your move and impact seems very good. My question is how you draw the ball from that position? Seems to me that position at the topwould promote a very steep down swing. What am I missing?

Is there a way to visually confirm clubface angle before hitting? On range, like you did here, I use trial and error or goldilocks, but obviously during the round I can’t re-tee to correct clubface being too open or too closed. On course I tend to be too open on fades and too closed on draws = slice and hook, ouch.

Would you agree that the low point of the swing, on both up hill and down hill shots would naturally be towards the high foot? Ie: right hand golfer hitting down hill shot, the low point would be closer to the right foot ( the high foot)?

Shawn,
You had a video that was quite effective for me and now I can’t find it. It is the one where the ball is hit, and at the finish of the swing the club is pulled back into a back swing and is swung again in a practice swing. I should have favorited it but failed to do so. Can you help?

Shawn,
The drill is similar to the “Walk,Cut, Strike” drill. Could not find it through search. But it is a very good drill. And thanks for your rapid response. Amazing.

Shawn, since you told me to turn my back to the target I am hitting the ball farther which is great. Just need to hone the new swing. Now on another note, I could never understand and was very thankful why guys would hit shanks. But over the last 2 years suddenly and usually on a hook lie the ‘s’ word would show up even with my new Vokey wedges. I have no idea why, maybe I’m swaying?

I watched the draw and fade waggle videos, I am going to give that a go in my pre-shot routine.
On your first drive in this video you mentioned releasing too early and that causing over-draw. Is the walking drill the best for release timing? I was at the golf studio today and I was hitting my 3i out of the middle but my draw shot came out as a push slice. So path was correct but face was open, right? That made me think my timing was slightly off. 3i fades were on the money (…. mostly!).

Never cease to amaze me at how simple you can break it down!! Love the drill – after a dozen or so attempts I am finally going over the second tee!! Love this!!

Good morning Mr. Shawn;

I’m a lefty and when I try to play a draw it stays out and never comes back. The more I close the face, the worse the shot is. The shots are very low (on the ground) straight with no distance hardly. I have a strong grip if this matters.

at 4:49 … the clubface looks open. And I also have felt this when trying to keep my hands in front. Is this managed by simply shutting the face at address slightly?
