Shawn – Your approach to the golf swing is GENIUS! Such a great way to teach a process that really should be natural – just like taking a slapshot or swinging a baseball bat!!! I was planning on getting myself fitted for a new set of golf clubs. I have not selected a club fitting resource as of yet and was wondering if you had any recommendations. Thanks!!

Hi Shawn thank you for the videos as well as all your effort! I am very happy to have found this website. I think you chose the perfect name. It is all great wisdom. It is really helpful to see the two swings in this video, yours that is polished another that will be soon. Like you told me in my two swing analysis feed files I have been throwing the club and I have been working on making the fastest part of my swing happen toward the target and trying to just let the weight of my arms move the club through while I get my body out of the way. Even when feel like I am accomplishing this best I do feel like I have to lock in to parallel my left shoulder of my lead arm so don’t ground the club. I am not sure it that is the right way to describe it? As you apply the goldilocks practice over the top, then topped and then flush how do you keep the bottom at address the bottom consistent? Does it come from the legs or the shoulders and back? both or neither?

Hi Shawn. Great video. I have been dealing with elbow pain (tennis elbow) in my lead arm for some time now. I am wondering if I am holding off the full release towards the target and not letting my arms rollover. I do struggle with that lead arm breaking down (chicken wing) which may be causing the pain in my elbow as well. Any thoughts on lead arm outside elbow pain and what may be causing it?

Hi Shawn I have been on and off your site for a number of years. It seems like whenever I have trouble I always come back. Question – do you still advocate the braced tilt for all clubs. And do still teach we should swing around the axis created by the braced tilt for backswing and downswing? Thank you.

Hi Shawn! Thanks for ANOTHER great video,,,excellent!
By the way, have you switched from Ping to Callaway?

I don’t like putting this here and you may delete it if you like. I have been trying to get in touch with your customer service to work out a billing situation with no luck. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hang in there, Mrs. C – it’s pure bliss when it all comes together!

Hey Shawn, I find when I see a picture and try to release into it my accuracy struggles. Could I just throw my club to the right or left of my intermediate point and still get the nice deep release toward the target sensation? I’m just trying to stop from swinging at the ball and start swinging more at the target.

Thank you for this video and the answers to the comments. I like your descriptions of weight of the arm club unit and unshackling the swing. I have often been told I need to try and stop hitting the ball which is a difficult idea to find a place for when moving the ball down the fairway is how the game works. Hitting a ball in the center is such a marvelous feeling. I really wish I could bottle it up. I do like the description of trying to place the ball in the way of my swing. Would you describe the mental task here as steering the arms as they fall toward the intermediate point while allow my body to get out of the way? I am thinking about it too much?

Hi Shawn, when looking at the grass between the leading edge (and using cutting the dandelion stem as my task) and the ball my tendency has been to hit the ball fat. Thoughts?

Just joined a few days ago. Been watching your videos on YouTube for a few months. The segment on the fairway and driver clubs was very helpful. The center of gravity segment was very helpful in letting me understand why I was inconsistent with my hybrids, 3, and 5 woods ect. It helped today on the course. More consistent contact and less topping the ball. So once again thanks.

Just finished Wisdom1.0. I so wish I had found you a few years ago. I am working diligently to change from ball-oriented to target-oriented. I have seen (when I do it correctly)amazing shots. I am hoping that your philosophy will help me ( I am sure that it will) shoot in the ’70s more consistently. Right now I shoot in the ’70s just often enough ( as I like to say ) to screw up my handicap and make me look (on paper) better than I am. A work in progress. But thanks for your insights.

Hi Shawn – these “basic” videos are always the ones that click for me. Unrelated question – how do I find the premium version of “best video on tilt and side bend”. Looking forward to seeing the driver version.

Went and played today for the first time since becoming a member. I was hitting the ball very cleanly but I had a lot of pulls with the driver and pushes and pulls with my irons I chipped very well only had 1 bad bladed chip across the green. It’s like the farther into the round I got I couldn’t just focus on releasing into my picture anymore I was so worried about my club face and making sure i closed it and got back behind it and by the time I got all of that I had already forgot what my plan was

My questions to you are as I have been watching the videos and your setup for a draw and fade has me a bit confused. Sometimes it seems that your alignment is parallel to your target and you are opening or closing the clubface for the fade or draw. Then sometimes it looks like your alignment is open for a fade and closed for the draw. Then on a couple of videos, it looks like your alignment is parallel to the target with an open face for the fade. and closed stance for a draw. Is it situational, or is it just the camera angle? And you are always parallel to target and the clubface is the only thing you have changed? Hope these questions make sense.
