I always wanted to know how hard to feel like your are throwing the club in the golf swing. I think just under your last throw.

You have really been helping me out a lot with my swingI On everything but the driver. I hit my 3 wood farther then my driver. I can consistently hit my 3 wood 235-240 in the air. I can’t hit my driver straight or with any more distance then I hit my 3 wood. I keep leaving it out right. When I video tape it doesn’t show me turning my wrist over on my driver. I leave it out right and slice way to often. Should I close my driver face like I do my irons?

Are you presetting the downswing head to make it easier? Jack would empty the water in his left ear on the back swing but hold it like you describe on the downswing. He was one of a kind and I do think the average golfer is hurting their swing potential when trying to copy highly gifted athletes who also practice for hours every day.

You recommended this drill to me on my last analysis. Had a tough time with it to start some fat divots then next one thin. I was just sending divots out into the trees somewhere. I found that I had to pick a specific tree as a target and send out the divot to it. Much better feel of throwing to the target, thanks for the drill.

If you are a peeling carrot kind of guy what works good as a driver task?

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.
