Above you mention most people do not look at blur and for right handed golfers are swinging practice swings to right. I do not routinely look at direction of practice swing but at address I line up well to intermediate point , do a practice to takeaway position than execute the task shot. ( throw club over intermediate point to target.) , question will my practice swing going to right affect my proper execution of the shot making it go right. I find my shots alot of time pushes to right more than I am aiming.. so I just aim more left.

Shawn, great stuff, I am completely changing my swing to your system and love, love, the way I strike the ball with ease. Question on sand shots and all the new technology for wedge grinds, bounce, etc. is there really a certain grind or bounce you should use for green side bunkers or close fairway bunkers?

Thank you for all you do !

I started with the stem and fell in love with the carrot peel. My current problem is the carrot peel starts to bend left at the end. when it is at the end the shot is still on target but my miss is left when I start it starts bending closer to the ball. I know stay with the target and that gets me back on track but I would like to get rid of it.

Shawn, the mental part of the game is holding me back. I hit the ball straight and score well through the front 9. But something happens at the turn and a slice creeps into my ball flight, which usually ruins my score on the back. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Great video Shawn. My grip can look strong when I look down but it wasn’t until you mentioned the feeling of torque in the left forearm that I got a consistent marker to check it.
Thanks guys

I just sent you my first swing analysis video. The feedback on my grip now makes sense. Especially when I do the walking drill. It really felt like the club was loosey, goosey. A feeling that isn’t there when I am hitting a shot. But it must be there because the results are now proof of my trail hand problem. It does explain a lot regarding my inconsistent direction. Based on my videos and your feedback. I now see the problem with my grip. I Will be working on it, so next month I hope you can see the improvement.

Golf made simple.

This is a great mental picture on so many levels. Ties together so much of the other videos. First if all I’ve had tendencies to black out during my golf swing, really not having a task to focus on. The heavy momentum through the arc blur really brings my attention back to to my task. Second, focusing on sending the stem toward the target helps me to really not send my energy to the ball, but sending the energy towards the target (allowing the ball to join the forward heavy momentum).

I also think that the dandelion stem image is genius. The stem is quite light and you get the impression that you do not need to use brute force in order to send it towards the target. Just allowing the weight of the arm club unit to cut through the stem.

Just love your enthusiasm in his video. Your joy shines through.

Really good video for me… I’ve been having a bout of topping tee shots. In watching this I know I need to work on a focusing on the top of the tee and my target. Also my left foot..( I’m a 61 y/o lefty). On the backswing I roll to the outside of the left foot instead of keeping it solid. Also noticed how Saavs right foot rolls to the instep whereas i tend to lift the heel. Need to work on these things while keeping my focus on my target!

Hi Shawn, I just found out I’ve been gripping the club to ‘loss of circulation’ and then some (but all on the left hand- left is the lead arm) and nearly none on the right hand. I’ve realised my grip on the left hand is so tight because I’m swinging really hard at it, and i suppose that’s because it would probably fly out of my hand otherwise.

Problem I’m now facing is that i have to tighten the nearly non existent right hand pressure and that’s causing the ball to hook a lot

Hi Shawn,

Happy belated Father’s Day. My Son John surprised me with Father’s Day wishes from you which I appreciate and made me very happy. John and I play together nearly every week and I talk his ear off about what I have learned from you (no, I don’t give him any advice – he doesn’t need it – his swing and game have been good since he picked up his first club). He has been giving his swing to gravity from the start and finishes with that helicopter finish you have and now I’ve got it too (after 50 years of playing).

Thanks for being you and lighting the fairways for us formerly lost golf souls.

All the best. Craig

Great video. I wish I could just stop losing extension in my trail hand. Just always flip at it no matter what my intent is 😩

Hi Shawn – love these videos. Question with the driver, when I complete the backswing, I feel my body and my hands, arms are right on top of the ball thus preventing me from seeing how I can accurately throw the club in the target direction. I only have this feeling with the driver. Does that mean I am not rotating enough away from the ball on the backswing?

Excellent and extremely helpful! Never mind doing it-it is great to watch it being done by the Pro! Anyway-Shawn I can’t unfortunately locate the Driver nugget vids you were recommending. Can you help please? Regards Ian

Same with the driver?
