Hey Shawn,
I’ve been training my walking drill last saturday. Results are encouraging! All of my drive where on the fairway. contacts are much better and some of my shots where really great :). I can really see the swing arc with this drill and it’s changing completely the way I swing. Things difficult I have also observed during the game : I top the ball to much with my irons, my drive are not very powerfull (220 yards= 200m total). When i drive, the ball tend to go a bit high wich may cause loss of distance, I think my ball takes backspin that doesn’t help to get more distance.
In addition I felt that i was hitting my balls using more the first pendulum and a second pendulum that was incomplete.
Question: As the swing is in both way with this walking drill that is a perpetual motion, do you have in your mind to take two targets and two trajectories in both way and to switch your visualization durung the motion?

Thanks sebastien

Awesome video. Mu’s steep chip swing and your coaching (task orientation) helped me learn a lot!!! Thanks.

Hi Shawn, is there a similar video for further out from the hole in the rough? For instance, tee shot goes into long rough, so the second shot

Hi Shawn!

Even though I have seen you, Sav, and Mu swing the kettlebell before, this video really sparked an “aha” moment about how the body moves in the golf swing! I am trying to get this kettlebell swing feeling when I swing a golf club. What I have noticed on video is that I tend to restrict my turn on my actual swing vs. my practice swing. Even with the grass whip my turn changed when I went from the perpetual motion drill to cutting the bottom of a tee. I may be rushing and not letting the backswing finish. When I consciously try to complete the backswing (with mixed results), I feel like my focus is then taken away from the target (in the opposite direction) and task and my swing suffers. How can I gain consistency and length with my turn?

Thanks,

Tim

P.S. Is it healthy that your Wisdom In Golf music has been stuck in my head all week??

Hi Shawn, I’m thinking of getting the skytrak simulator, what do you think about that unit? I will also need to find a good high impact screen net, do you have any advises?

What is the best task for club release…I have a great release but way too early…my chest stops rotating and my hands and forearms complete the swing. I am the best hooker and can draw the ball but have never hit a fade ! What is my task? HDCP 12
When I throw the club out in front of me it is ALWAYS 15 yards to the left! Help !!

Ok just went the range and tried this drill because yesterday I struggled big time with my driver and three wood on the course. Over the top swing not focusing on the swoosh but didn’t realize I focusing on the wrong target. Got amazing results. I had to two people come up to me at the range and tell me how good my drives were and that I was hitting it so consistent! Thanks for also discussing the mental side of the swing and game. I tend to get to careful rather then just letting it go!

Lovin’ the lessons Shawn! Already seen some improvement and had a buddy video my swing but seems the file is too big to send so I guess I will wait until my wife gets back from the Philippines next month…she’s the techy one. Strengthened the grip and enjoying the trigger finger supporting the club better now at the top, which seems to add power and more whip that I never had before. Just watched the Predict contact and can’t wait for Tuesday Skins. cheers, Kirk

So just finished the senior series. I have always heard that ball placement should be roughly off the logo of my shirt. It appears you are playing, say, the 7 or 6 iron more in the center of your stance- halfway between the heels. Am I seeing that right? Also if you want to hit it higher, don’t you have to move the ball forward?

Also, Shawn. When you talk about a string group, I think of taking the left hand (I’m right-handed) and turning it more to the right. But it looks like you’re sometimes taking a neutral grip, opening the hands, turning the club closed, and the gripping. Is there any difference in these 2 methods?
Thanks.

This is for all shots correct? From chipping, pitching, etc. ?

Great drill, I can’t wait to try because most of my divots are from right to left which seems over the top? Even though I’m often on target.

Hey Shawn, it wasn’t this video but I recently watched video where you had tape on top of driver to help you see the arc blur. Did I dream that?! Also, is that legal to keep on during a round, or is it just for practice? I have read various internet opinions RE Tape vs painted on. It really helps me see my blur path/arc. Thanks, Brian

It appears that here you are advocating a neutral grip yet in you tube videos you state that the vast majority of us should be using a very strong grip. Please explain.

This may seem like a stupid question. I have had success using unstoppable momentum (heft) Axe drill, Battering ram,WIG basic “Get out of the way, Get out of the way”. Also the backswing series golf lesson video with the Doctor. That series takes me deeper and my downswing just happens on it’s own(which is awesome!). Then I see your other videos about adding speed and distance. Videos that say to use your legs and snapping the release. When I try to add those things my swing suffers. Then I get frustrated and try other things, which takes me off in another direction and I get worse. So, with that said. Should I stay on the “momentum” training and forget the other distance adding techniques? The golf swing variables and techniques can be confusing. I’m just trying to reach my potential and improve every day.
