On the drill, do you brush the grass and catch the tee or just catch the tee. Thank you

Wow! Just hit a bucket using this drill and great results. The big question now is how do you convert this drill to a regular swing without getting in the drill position? I can see myself wanting to do this drill on every shot while playing. This drill gets your hands in front or over the lead leg to start and how do you get into that takeaway without using the drill? Great drone views as well! – thanks

Hey Shawn! Long time follower here. I’ve recently discovered that focusing on the height of my throw really improves contact and distance. But what I’m struggling with is the full task. When I focus on the height, the direction will often go out the window. But if I only focus on throwing in the right direction, I’m not nearly as consistent with contact. Thoughts?

Any relevant video explain what is goldilocks?

It’s really true. I feel like I can trust and predict solid contact/ball flight. Not many really bad miss hits and really intuitive way to swing! Question: how do you develop a way to know where low point will be? And when the lie is uneven what is the fastest way to know where that low point is?

Thanks for this drill, Shawn! I think it’s just what I need to get more consistent swings and ball contact. Can’t wait to get to the range and try it.

Thanks for the drill . I tried it and it has helped me. I am having a little trouble with my release and follow through I’m not fully releasing and I’m blocking shots to the right. Could you recommend a couple of videos that would help me with my release and follow through? Thanks. Scott

Shawn – I’ve been playing golf for over 20 years and since becoming a Premium member of WIG, I am playing my best, most confident golf yet – THANK YOU! Question: this is related to this drill, but also your most recent YouTube video about driving the ball high and low. For the driver, where are your EYES focused? I know I am “feeling” and swinging toward the target, but when I attempting to clip the top of the tee, are my eyes focused toward the center/bottom of the arc or a blade of grass just behind the ball. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again!

Love the release videos. However, I feel like I have to slow myself down in order to achieve the release. I am trail hand dominate. When I attempt to release by simply allowing the momentum of the club to fall (and not slow myself down), I tend to hit my irons thin. Any suggestions?

Great drill Shawn! Very similar what I have tried myself last weeks: let my backswing go into the direction that I feel that I am the strongest in the thru-swing (which is actually the same as when doing the axe-drill). This drill feels very much the same.

So is there any reason why you can’t just use the drill as your normal golf swing because I thought that’s what you were saying at the end of the video?

I’ve watched many of your youtube videos and you sugest clsoing the clubface at address then putting your hands on the club to create a strong grip. But ifi do that then the left thumb is no longer down the center of the grip?
Thanks

Right hand golfer Been having issues pulling my driver left of target starts left and draws. Contact is good. Could I have ball to far forward?

Shawn, have you done a video on elbows at address? Last night I was hitting off of tight lies (range) and gouging. I rotated my lead elbow from pointing at the target to pointing at the ground and immediately started collecting the ball and sending it powerfully to the target. Seems like where I point the lead elbow at address made a big difference. Wanted to see what you teach in this regard. Thanks, Craig

Hey Shawn – this is nuts! I just went and played around with it with a 4 hybrid and after I got it down, I nutted every shot. It is very strange how it is so rock solid. My question is how this would relate to the normal full swing – are you trying to just ingrain that shaft horizontal up segment of the swing?

The drill seems to do two things for me: 1) Sets the club/arm position/angle and 2) It totally eliminates any variation in the position at the top (i.e. an overswing). It also kind of relaxes my whole chain – reducing tension – increasing the average speed delivered by removing the tense/bad shots.

Super cool! Thanks for such a great drill!
