Hey sean new to your wisdom! Premium subscriber….53yo trying to reinvent my golf swing love the wisdom method…question having a little trouble feeling the brain grab ground …..does the squat trigger this or does brain grabbing ground trigger squat? I feel it in grasswhip practice but when striking balls i feel like i go to left side early and too deliberate thanx

Hi Shawn think this is one of your best videos for demonstrating address position and executing for draws and fades. Could you clarify one point for me. It looks like to me that for draw you initially set to your end target . At this point are we in the 20 /20 head position and then we close the face regrip and do that little head shift ( to get behind the ball ) to square up the club face. This is what i think i am seeing in the video. Is this correct. Finally have a good grasp on what to try and do in the full swing, practice throwing club every day ,great drill getting the feeling of unstoppable momentum. Haven’t hit the ball this well in 30 years. Thanks

Hey Shawn love this thought process but I at times still struggle with hitting behind the ball or just fat shots any thoughts?

Great video Shawn! I was wondering, what are your thoughts on whether or not we should take a divot during our practise swing? I feel like I sometimes need to feel that sensation so I don’t hit the ball thin, but at the same time I feel bad about tearing up the fairway/tee box. Obviously I replace divots when I can but…. sometimes the divots explode 😂

when I feel on the forward swing that my hands are low and closer to my body I am able to stay more in sequence……does that sound right or is that something I should not think about?

Lovely stuff, I think this was a missing link for me. Ball position always changing. While practicing today I started just putting hands together club straight out knowing that’s the center of my sternal notch. I’d walk that up slightly on the target side of the ball then just adjust the club head behind the ball. That gave me confidence that if I just execute my swing, the bottom would be in front of the ball. So simple.

Ball position seemed to be much further back than I’d normally play it, which I think makes sense cuz I’d often have a hard time getting divots.

I feel the practice swing off the ground beside the ball is to feel the kinetic chain replicating the size and direction of the swing. After that I can slide in to the ball and lower the club to the correct height that allows the dandilion cut. The challenge is to ingrain the belief that I do not have to hit the ball but rather let the process throw the club out to the target…

Hitting a volleyball did the trick! Because of the size I had no worries about making contact, and allowed me to focus on the target. I can easily transfer this feeling with a golfball. The freedom in my swing is crazy! Thanks Shawn!

You’re a few years too young to be an original Beatles fan but “let it be” is forever the best way of life and golf! Gravity is our best friend!

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
