Hi Shawn

At set-up when i try to get behind the ball (and hammer into the doorframe) it feels like the weight distribution is more on my right side, is this normal?

I also start hitting my shots thin, a groove or two lower on the clubface…so I think I might be doing it wrong

I have recently joined the premium channel having watched a number of your videos on YouTube. I saw one recently that was advocating “strong grip” but that is not really coming across on these videos. Have I misinterpreted it? BTW great videos – I am really enjoying your teaching / coaching method!👍

It is amazing how important this is for every shot, from driver to putter. As Sav said around 10.30 you have to practice the focus – visualise the club going through the ball towards your target with the feeling (relaxed at address to snap at release). When a shot goes wrong for me I can usually trace it back my thought process right before or during my shot….. other times I just blame the club, just like the pro’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daBJf4Y9Kkk

Hi Shawn, I’ve been following YouTube for about a year. And have been watching many different people. Currently a 10 hncp but have zero consistency in my iron game. So I’m going through all of your videos and drills from the start to rebuild my swing and setup. This video here just feels like it made my swing so much more comfortable especially with the understanding of draw and fade setup. Thanks for the amazing knowledge and teaching

Hello Shawn, I am watching this video (as you recommended on my swing analysis) and just realized that my gloves usually torn specifically on the hand palm zone after just a few rounds (I am taking 6-8 rounds). I really like the titleist players glove but stop buying them due to the above. So it seems like I have a grip problem rather than delicate gloves…

Hi Shawn,

I seem to have the opposite experience to other WIGers,

My feet together swing contact is really poor and my distance is 20-30 yds less for 7 iron. When I go back to feet apart there’s a noticeable improvement

Has this happened to any of your other students too? Curious as to why this is the case

Hi.

I’m a premium subscriber but I cannot access this video. It keeps showing me the login screen. I can play the video before this (18) and the one after it (20) but not this one.

Should your driver stance be wider than your irons? It seems I top the ball when I widen my stance for the driver. When I try the feet together drill with the driver and the ball centered I hit solid shots but when I tee the ball forward with a wide stance I top the ball or hit a low runner. Is there a correlation between stance width and ball position. Thanks!

What do you mean when you say “anatomical snuff box”?

Hi Shawn – i just joined Premium today and great stuff so far. Question for you on the grip – my thumb on the trail hand feels much better when it’s on the grip like the lead hand versus wrapping it around – do you think this could cause issues? – thanks

Hello Shawn, after good success at the beginning with your technique, I now have increasing problems. Especially with the irons I have many fat hits. In addition, all shots go far straight to the left. I am now also unsure about the weight shift. That seems to be almost non-existent with you. If I understand the videos correctly, you stay almost balanced on both feet. Which videos should I watch?

Hi Shawn, loving your teachings and trying to unlearn 50 years of “guesswork golf”. 2 days ago I played 9 holes in 3 over with a double on the last hole for driving my first tee shot OB. Was ecstatic about quality of my shots with your method. Yesterday I played in a scramble and after starting great I lost my swing. My theory is that I wasn’t keeping my hands below/in line with my sternal notch as you instruct in the chipping video. Instead, reaching and pushing arms out of sync with body turn. How important is “keeping your hands in front of your chest” in the full swing? I’m guessing that might be the root of all my problems (when I’m having them). Thanks, I believe in you and think you have the “unified theory of golf” from putting to driver that I’ve always believed was out there. – Craig Hofer

Hi Shawn thanks for video.and thanks for your YouTube video that finally getting it. If I have suction cupfeet and concentrate to release to my intermediate.
What I have now more forward shaft lean and straight release that I could never get from top speed golf .I think I will use the power fade. That shows the right path on my srk-matt but the draw doesn ‘t.

Hey Shawn, my name is Phil, I’m newer to the group, just over a week now. In the very beginning I found pretty good success in practice with this swing type. I played a round yesterday and everything fell apart as far as the concepts I have learned and practiced. Now, to be fair, I still shot better than I normally would, because of these concepts, but some how I have lost the ability to hit anything other than a slice/ big fade, which was always my miss with a conventional swing. Shot dispersion is still tighter than ever and the basic principals have improved my short game, which helped me save some strokes where I previously would have “blown up” on the hole(s). I carded a 54 on a par 36 (9 holes) yesterday. Lots of double bogies and bogies. The only blow up hole I had was a par 3 where I carded double par. (I always pick up at this point to “keep it moving”). Aside from that I had 2 or 3 par 4s where I carded 7 strokes. Thanks to a couple fat shots or miss hits that sliced that didn’t get me onto the green. My other miss was that I was having a horrid time with my 3 wood and my 3/4 hybrids. I topped a lot of those and sliced as well. With a conventional swing I finally got to a neutral grip. I have gone back to a very strong grip as I have tried to learn your swing, and without videoing my swing yet, I’m thinking I might be cupping my wrist. I know you can’t offer much insight without being able to see my swing, which is what has prompted this message. In this video you mentioned the Swing Index app. I have signed up and am planning to submit my swing. How do I get those videos directly to you, and are you still making use of this platform, since it’s your swing that I am trying to learn?

I can already feel the difference in my shots from your swing. The two things I am finding issue with is clubface and release. I am a 200yd 7 iron with conventional swing, and I’ve dropped to around 160 learning this swing. I’ve watched the videos, and am trying to groove the feels, using intermediate points, suggested grip, body tilt, turn, closing the clubface at address, etc; but something is out of wack. I still feel like I release at the ball and that I am putting in more strain than I should.

Sorry for the long winded message, the first half is really my main question, I’m sure the rest will be answered through proper visual analysis.

Hope you are well. Thank you for the great platform!

Is there a task or drill that will help me use the ground better?
