From the seriously skeptical look, I have the feeling Mrs C wasn’t quite initially on board with being filmed, hahaha 🙂
Great video! Great swing! Going to single figure will be easy Nita, you can trust your loved ones on that.
Hi Shawn. I recently saw a video of this drill where you start with the ball farthest away from you and walk backwards as you hit the balls. I thought it was an interesting variation on your elephant walk.
Hi Shawn. Happy here with a second comment/question in one day!
Since the swing plane is on an incline, once the clubhead bottoms out, the clubhead should be moving back to the inside as well as up as it approaches the ball at impact. This *should* promote a fade ball flight since the path is slightly out to in.
I have watched all of your ball flight videos (fade and draw) many times, but am not sure how to account for this when I want to hit a draw, especially the high draw.
Is this what you meant when you referenced the diagonal stance?
Best regards,
Happy Roman
PS I am about to watch Part 2 so if you answer my question there, I will see it shortly.
Thanks so much for the quick reply. Shawn. I will watch those ASAP.
It also occurred to me this morning that you always stress the use of an intermediate point and feel like you are sending the momentum in that direction, or just to the left or right of it.
Hi Shawn,
i have a question to the posture: it seems to me, that you do a little bump with your hips to the left ( target) . Why do you do this and do you have a video to explain more?
I am very grateful, that I can can learn such a lot of things from you and your family,
best regards from Germany

Hello Petra! Great to meet you! We are getting ready to deliver the motion and energy of the swing into the direction we want the ball to start on so we brace ourselves “against the target”. See “hammer drill” video for a nice example of this and also the “kinetic chain” and kinetic chain engagement series”
Hi Shawn. This answered my question from yesterday PERFECTLY.
It also explains the difference between irons off the turf and the driver. For an iron. the club strikes the ball before it bottoms out. Therefore, the clubhead is approaching the ball from the inside and would promote a draw from a *square* stance. This explains why a slightly more open stance is a better feel with the irons.
Conversely, after the driver bottoms out and is moving up at impact, it is approaching the ball from the outside and the diagonal stance feels more comfortable (when hitting a draw).
Correct me if I’m wrong, but moving the right foot back to create a *diagonal* stance seems to be the logical progression from the *pre-turn* we used to discuss on the forum in relation to the braced tilt.
I enjoyed seeing how she was able to transform her initial move into a full turn and then effortlessly drop the hammer on the ball. That was a wonderfully athletic move. Please pass long my thanks for demonstrating.
Sean, Please can you describe the ball positions with driver for a fade and a draw. Is it still off the lead instep or do you alter for draws and fades? By the way my best shots appear to be going dead straight but I love your instruction and enjoying the continuous learning process with Wisdom in Golf!!
Good stuff! The approach with ball position is much more about the “fit” into the flight plan; you set up using the intermediate point and then “predict” which ball position will allow you to swing freely into the direction you want to start the ball. See “the goldie locks” series for that one. This prediction process is what removes the need to guide or steer or interfere with the shot and let the “unstoppable momentum” move through. Search “unstoppable momentum” on premium.
Hi Shawn, Just joined. My question is, you have said that you need steel-shafted clubs are needed for the volleyball drill. I don’t have steel shafts. would a dodge ball or similar soft and lighter ball be ok with graphite shafts?
Yes, you could see about that; I remember dodge balls from my youth and they were a bit heavy for that; I would go another level of light ball from that and let me know what you find out! 😀👍
