Yes, you bet!
here is my routine written down and which takes 25 seconds tops to execute:
1-Best option for shot
2 rules: 1-Release into safe direction; never release towards trouble and draw or fade away from trouble; this puts unnecessary tension in the system with the “you better make sure you do this or that to not go there”
2-No strain required to execute your shot; understand that you have 2 general yardages per club; one for the flush shot and one for the good miss about 12 yards short of the flush shot. The good miss happens 82% of the time and the flush shot 18% of the time. This helps determine what club to use based on where the best place to miss will be.
2-Once the shot option is chosen, confirm the flight plan-what line do you want to start the ball and what line do you want to end? (include roll out)
3-Choose intermediate point; can be straight on or slightly off line, as long as it’s easy to see and well into your peripheral vision (6 to 12 inches in front of ball only)
4-Confirm alignment of momentum-get ready to see the blur of the path of the club and match it to the ball and intermediate point and prepare to make the ball a PRECISE INTERSECTION on the way through the IP into the flight plan!
5-Confirm ball position matches the flight plan and the direction you want to start the ball.
6-Confirm distance to ball and see that when you let momentum ride through the blur through ball and IP that you don’t feel the need to reach out from being too far or hold on from being too close and you can let it ride
7-Confirm Grip club relation; see that you know it will curve the way you want to in the air once you allow the momentum to release you through the arc-blur into the flight plan through ball and IP
8-Confirm levels with relaxed and engaged legs; legs are ready to heave the arms and club into the backswing that would match the direction of the flight plan; and feels like you are ready to allow that solid dose of momentum to ride through the arc-blur through the ball and IP into that flight plan
9-Ready? See the arc-blur already moving through ball and intermediate point? You are feeling the arms and club already tracking the arc and the body already gliding out of the way of these tracking arms. What does that feel like again? Witness the shot that is being played out for you; you have done your homework and it’s time to get out of the way and let it happen with full abandon; the glue that holds EVERYTHING together is the letting the swing stay with the direction of flight and fully witness momentum taking care of that for you.
You make it look crazy easy. ❤️ I am working on speed these days without hardly any success. Throwing hammers further with legs but all that does not transpire into good timing when it comes to feet apart on the course. Club head speed about 80. Distances are down by at least a club. Of course strain free. The catapult effect goes missing. Is it a breakdown in the Kinetic Chain engagement or some issue with the task at hand I wonder.
Hi Shawn, just for clarity on this — weight distribution matches the task. Make sense! In my mind then a bit more weight at address on the right side (obviously depends on the slope). If (being right handed) i put my weight on the left, no longer am I cutting grass along the surface — i’m hammering something into the ground and that can’t be right). Is this correct? thanks!
Hi Shawn (this video is so darn helpful and the hammer drill is king for me). But my question: Through the impact zone your right hand palm is facing what looks like 90 degrees to the target line? This is the anatomically strong position to hammer the nail in the direction of the target. It seems a great external focus for me is to swing (watching the blur // tracer) and waiting for the hammer//club to release me like I’m hammering a nail in the direction of target (thinking more about my right hand). Wow this is revolutionary for me. Is my thinking correct? I also find that when this is my external focus — i’m forced to use the legs and just let the hammer fall from the top — there is no other way to do it. And yesterday in practice this virtually eliminated my pulls as somehow this just clicked for me. Thanks as always Shawn!!!
Very good! This would be the most powerful way to hammer a nail for sure! This is Ryan Fox and Bubba Watson and Aldrich Potgeiter and Savy to name a few… Get with a doorframe and a household hammer and experience fully what you just described! 👍🔥👊💪
Shawn- Thanks so much for your videos and the commentaries. I’ve adopted the “feet together” stance as my normal game playing stance and the results have been phenomenal. I am much more consistent and I routinely out drive my playing partners. Is there any disadvantage to staying with the “feet together” stance instead of a regular “feet apart” one?
NONE! Zip, zero, zilch! 🔥👍💪
I have never been able to find any downside and have found nothing but upside and smashing success. Good on you for taking it next level! Let’s start a trend! Send me some clips!
Hi Darryl! To be able to swing all the way through the ball and into the direction we want to start the ball. Same Idea as hockey (hockey stick has a big curve on it) and Jai Alai and Lacrosse…See “predict contact” and the “goldilocks series” in the grip and club face video.
Hey Shawn, love your content. I have been hitting my driver so much better since finding your YouTube channel.
I think my next big breakthrough will come when I can get my trail elbow to lead the hands a bit better, I have a tendency to get a little stuck and I end up over the top. Although I have been hitting my driver 280 and pretty darn straight I guess it just means there’s room for more improvement which I am so stoked about
What are your best drills for that?
Also are there any swing speed training devices you recommend?
I have been utilizing this technique more and more and finding very little loss in distance, but making strides in control. I love the width that it brings and being able to use the grass on my practice swings as a gauge. When I first started your program, I utilized a very strong grip and closed face as it was taking my slice to a playable fade. Now that I have been working this program for over a year now, I feel like my natural swing is progressing nicely, but causing more hooks. I feel as if I need to weaken the grip, but feel very uncomfortable holding the club only slightly closed versus closed like I am driving a nail in the ground with an overhead swing. Is this just something I should take to the range and Goldilocks?
Fantastic! Yes, you do not want to feel like you are hanging on to not hook; you want to feel that you can let the club fully release your arm anatomy like in the “release” videos. It will not take you long to adjust, and every time you do, either more closed or more open, it will be smaller and smaller increments. The club always feel off balance when you make the adjustment, but that is temporary.
hey Shawn, having a consistent issue with my putter. my putter path seems to always want to veer left on follow through (creates pulled puts). Not sure why. im trying to let the arms hang but you have to bend the elbows so not quite like an iron. Also, should i try and create more of arc or a straight back and through?
Straight back and through does not exist; don’t even try! 😝
the line on the ball is great and needs to be in relation to the alignment of momentum; then you can do a PMD beside it and see the blur of the line on the putter and see that it matches the lines on the ball. Then bring in, see the ball roll in from the last 4 feet at the speed you need and let it go.
Hey Shawn, this really illustrated what it means to keep the club in front and not fall behind. You’d think it should be obvious, but spatially it’s easy to get it twisted. Also, the additional view was extremely helpful! I was able to see what great lag this produced.
No not really; you know me and positions! 😝
however, to confirm we are in the correct position at the top, if we can put the doubt at ease, we can then focus on delivering through to the direction of flight!
Shawn one thing I’ve discovered playing around with this, is feeling the trail arm get into the slot through the release helps prevent turning to face the target a hair early
I’m always trying to stay with the IP, but there’s some shots / spots on the course where it gets hard. Reminding myself to throw the club through the ball into the slot on the release side has helped tremendously.
I can really feel the width. Like the club is stretching my arms out to the target. Could be the “11th commandment” of over the top from your classic series!
Also seems to automatically maintain my inclination to the ground. The club blur looks like it got longer and flatter if that makes sense.
