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?

Just what I needed currently. I played S&T for years and had fallen back into keeping my right arm against my side. I also had recently lost a club distance in the irons and noticed I was not letting the left wrist hinge. Both related.

Found the drill I was looking for. “Get to the end of the kinetic chain- off season training (6)”. A great drill. I find it helps to use the paint brush to obtain the snap release. Really a good one.
Glad I found it. Now in my favored list

Would it be good practice hit the ball AND throw the club? All in the same swing.
Thanks,
Flip

Hey Shawn
Just watched your YouTube driver video in which you put white Lines on the top of the driver head.
What do you use for those white lines and is it legal to leave those white lines on the driver head if you are playing in competition?
Thanks and that was a very informative video because I find myself hitting closer to the toe so I am looking forward to utilizing this methodology to help correct that and make sure I hit more center hit shots
Thanks

Hi Shawn, three months ago, I started to learn golf with an instructor from my local driving range. I hit the wall well, but I didn’t feel comfortable doing it. My instructor doesn’t let me move my body at all, only my arms. Now that I see your videos, I’m trying to change my swing to your style because it feels good and natural. I practice these drills, but I fail to hit the ball well when doing this swing in the driving range. What could be the problem? 

Great drill Shawn. During today’s practice, when I was doing this drill, I was getting at least a 1/2 to full club length more distance. It was very surprising to me but a great feeling. However, I couldn’t quite get the ball compression I felt in the drill in my regular swing. When doing the drill I seem to feel more momentum and direction to intermediate target than with my regular swing. I’m still pretty new to your coaching site, so I will continue working on it. Thank you so much for the great content and teaching. I started out watching you on YouTube and using your drills. I saw so much improvement in my ball striking that I joined your premium site. Well worth it!!!

Hey Shawn,

A few questions for you. After drawing the ball for my entire golf career – 50 years, I can now hit it both ways thanks to you and actually prefer the fade these days. I have noticed that my scoring is much better early in the round than later and I think this is caused by me playing totally by feel starting out. I have a task – flight and location for the shot. Today was a perfect example – hit driver right where I wanted to today – over trees with a fade, chip and birdie. Birdied par 3 #2, then as the round wore on, I found myself trying to fix things and wondering what went “wrong” with a shot. Then I start having rabbit ears and things fall off the tracks

The real question is, when you are playing well and then get technical during a round, how do you get it back? We waited on every shot today and I struggle with this and my mind wanders and I can not seem to get it back. I play best when I am just reacting – picking out tasks/targets and hitting shots.

I would love to hear your comments about how to put the train back on the tracks after it derails and is in the woods 🙂

Wanted to mention that I do what you said – I do not hit fades and draws with a technical thought, It is more of a task – hit a draw or fade and then just doing it. When I get technical then you bring in the occasional double cross.

Thanks,

Andy
