  • From Scott Narasaki on STAYING WITH THE SHOT - OFF SEASON TRAINING (9)

    Shawn,
    When I stay on task the results are incredible. But i still have trouble staying on task consistently. I found something that helps me stay with the shot. This drill is supposed to help with rhythm and tempo. You count one and two. One starts the down swing, and starts the down swing and two is through the ball. What i found is if I focus on my target, as soon as get the feeling of where I need to release to, I look down and immediately count one, which starts my swing. The counting definitely helps with my rhythm but of seems to clear my mind and let me focus on the target. What are you thoughts here? Am I headed down the right path?

      Hi Scott! I can’t believe I missed this one; make sure you email me directly as sometimes our systems update and things start going to my junk email; very frustrating! Awesome comment, reminds me of the old Fred Astaire Golf Dance video on youtube. One of my best rounds at Seminole Country Club was with a rhythmic focus like this TOWARDS A FLIGHT PLAN. Right on! Did you also see the comment above by Matt Davis? Another gold thread; plus without his, I would not have seen this one! 👍😀

      Correction about “two” two is the release!

    Hi Shawn – are the hands and handle forward and weight on the front foot like the flop shot? Thanks.

      Hey Marc! You bet! The technique between bunkers and flop shots are identical twins; one cuts through a dandelion stem and the other sprays a divot of sand onto the green.

      Thanks forbthe reply. Only recently have i decided to focus on your simple task mind connections coupled with improved technique. Am pleased to let you know am enjoying the whole golf experience so much more. This after so many years of tough experiences. Have never had better contact than right now. While i still miss some shots, some ugly, they are far better. Am starting to have some really wierd CONFIDENCE, in my technique… Really Shawn… I bet you hesr this many times each day… I had been so discouraged i wanted to quit so many times. But now I have a chance to actually develop my own game, based on the WIG models. In gratitude… James

  • From Michael Ehrman on Braced Tilt

    Watching the video “Braced Tilt” it has confused me when mentioning “pre-turn”. If I take my neutral grip with a slightly closed club face at address; and then square the club face while still at address by tilting to the right, is this the braced tilt? I guess I saw a video before I became a premium member where a “re-turn” was demonstrated and so I was confused when in the “Braced Tilt” video, you said “…we’re going to get rid of that [pre-turn]. Could you please clarify for me?

      Hey Michael! You are close; if you blend this with the task of the “hammer drill” video, you want to feel that you are bracing yourself into the doorframe but not to the point where you get in front of the door frame. SOLID FROM THE RIGHT SIDE INTO THE LEFT SIDE.

    Hey Shawn! I played high school and collegiate golf but always struggled with consistency of my golf swing and seen a few of your videos about the swing and I am sold! Scrap everything and start over, let’s grind.

    Which video is the follow up to this one?

    • From Shawn Clement on Pitching

      I would go to the kinetic chain series; the pitching video in there is terrific.

  • From Michael Cipriani on PRACTICE SWING REPEAT PART 2- SIDE VISION

    Hi Shawn – This is my first post. I took a number of lessons from you at RHGC years ago, and happy to have recently joined your website. I played my first round this past weekend. This video is of particular interest to me, specifically the first part of the video. Just to confirm, when practicing at the range, I line myself up and keep the visor of my hat in line with my swing plane? Anything else I should do to ensure I’m doing this properly?

      Hey Michael!! Great to have you man!
      Side vision can be a beast for many; see the “blur of club” and then the “arc-blur” videos that come up in the search box; always have an intermediate point to deliver into your pictures.

  • From Yann Gauthier on PRACTICE SWING REPEAT PART 2- SIDE VISION

    Hi Shawn, been practicing this lesson on my side and noticed improvement in accuracy but I also noticed an increased in launch angle in general by a few degrees. Any idea why and how to reduce my launch angle ?

    Cheers,
    Yann

    I noticed you have a golf grip on your grass whip. Would you recommend I do the same to the grass whip I bought?

  • From Justin Tang on Grip Update

    Hi Shawn, this grip has as you said added 15 yards to my swing on the range. However, I note that I am prone to pull hooking when I try to go for more. What would you suggest is the issue?

    Thank you for the fantastic product!

      See the “Kinetic chain series” and the “kinetic chain engagement” series;
      when you strain in the swing, you ruin the timing of the action and one common misfire if the pull hook.
