Could you direct me to or create a video on a daily practice routine to help create a consistent swing? I currently start with the battering ram, the the lead and trail arm throw, two arm throw, basketball and volleyball drills. Then move on to net and practice ball flight, intermediate throw w/o letting go followed by range balls. I’m making good progress but feel it could be accelerated with a proper routine. Thank you

What am I missing? Would not one piece of tap at center of clubface give you blur and point to center face contact? I ask since I am going to use paint.

I used to do that to fix my slice. If you lose your task it is going to be the straightest longest push ever;)

Shawn,
I am a little confused with how much to close the club face and your head turn at address. In one video you closed the club face 45 degrees but was playing the ball in a draw position. Is that all the time for draws. if the ball is front and center is there no turn of the face to the right?

Hi Shawn! Love the content. Just a quick question here. For a full swing using wedges, I’ve been adapting a closed grip at setup and it’s been working great! Just curious, for short pitch shots such as the ones shown here, should I still be closing the club face? I remember you mentioning in a YouTube video that for short pitch shots where the hands aren’t hinging yet, the club face should remain neutral at address, but I’m not 100% certain if I’m remembering correctly. I guess basically, my question is, how closed (or not closed) should my club face be at address for these pitch shots at varying distances.

Many Thanks!!!

Hi Shawn how do I know if I am heaving to hi in the backswing. What does too high feel like.

Hi Shawn, just wanted to say thanks for this video I’ve been making great progress especially with my irons but was struggling with the driver this tip of lining up the ball for the trajectory really really helped

Hi Shawn. New to the game and found your videos on Youtube. Living in Tokyo so it’s a bit difficult to find English-speaking golf training here (without paying an arm and a leg, it’s already crazy expensive to play a round out here). Just want to say I’m really impressed with how much you break things down but still manage to keep things simple and easy to understand! really looking forward to watching and learning through the premium content!

Hi Shawn, Great lesson and reminders! Just wondering, have you changed from playing Ping clubs to Callaway?

This series is absolutely the best. It might explain why I feel the tension in anticipation of my actual shot. The look and feel of the chosen direction seem always to be a little off once I stand over the ball. I’m happy you explained this so clearly. I can relate to Mu’s “problem”, I suspect it is mine as well.

New member. With Driver conventionally at setup feet, knees, hips, shoulders, club face parallel to target. I’ve found Success at driving range driving ball more easily and farther with Shawns method, but need help with how are my feet, knees, shoulders, club face to be aligned at address now? Closed stance with Everything slightly to the right? Best video to address these questions? Thanks

Great lesson. My home videos confirm a head sway or over rotation = slice, pull or s***k. I seem to remember decades ago newspaper golf teaching strips with Jack Nicklaus’ father holding his hair to prevent sway. The question of why the dysfunctional movements occur is a great one. I hear the S.C. voice in my ear “ you are not defective” . ..Job one is to have the vision of the shot and stay with it for the whole process. Thanks.

Hello Shawn,
So now I think I’m tracking…it’s not where my feet are aligned and the face of the club is pointing at address… BUT where the blur of the club face is traveling in relation to the intermediate point and the grip-club face relationship to make the desired ball flight happen for the pictured release (draw or fade)?
WOW! That is totally different than how I was taught and makes way more sense. I’ve been unfortunately mixing the two (more worried about feet and club face at alignment, then trying to get the swing path in the proper direction from that standpoint) for a couple weeks, but I believe your final comments near the end of the video clears this up! Awesome.

Additionally, as a follow up to my previous comment….I was wondering why you don’t have an alignment stick by your feet to check alignment…now I think I understand why.
It seems it really does not matter where your feet are aligned, it more important to make the swing path go in the intended direction based on the intermediate point and have the feet spacing/direction to support that intended path and desired release/flight plan.
My alignment stick is now going vertical and will become a door jamb!

Hi Shawn
This video is superb as it confirms something that as a barrel chested man that I have done through trial and error but have always looked for validation. The statement let your arms hang from the shoulders has been catastrophic for my swing over the year’s. However as soon as I return to arms on top of chest ( my way of saying trail elbow below the pec) i start striking the ball out the screws and can fade or draw on demand. Funny how validation of something that you feel is correct for oneself feels so pleasing and confidence building.
Thanks Michael
