I think or hope I’m starting to get this. I may have had a aha moment today Shawn! I was hitting pushes and pulls with my 5 iron and Then I remembered to start turning my body to get a full back swing. Then heel came up bit off the ground and replanted swinging through beautiful and I released and hit a straight shot. Or should I say that the club released me. Of course I discovered this at the end of the bucket cant wait to go back tomorrow
Yes!!! Many of my students in this winter’s class just added 30 yards to their irons by doing this. For decades, golfers have been told to “keep the heel down” and “resist with the legs” and “keep the knees in the same flex” and this has been a real thorn in the side for the VAST MAJORITY of golfers. We are bilateral machines which means we are experts at walking either stationary or not. Stay with this! 👍😀💪
1-strain level on a scale of 1/10 should stay at 3 or 4 Max to produce levels of velocity and compression of 7 to 8 of ten.
2-to achieve this, see our “senior series” where the emphasis is on removing all restrictions on the swing!
Distance from the ball part 2 should be renamed to mystery of how a golf swing works – solved. The clear explanation of how the arms work through the downswing and follow through was golf-life changing. You have a gift.
Hi Shawn, Hope things are well. Shawn I picked up a Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor and honestly shawn it works fine for my level. I’m a very high handicapper so the nuances of a more expensive launch monitor don’t make sense to me right now. In looking at a clip from the Rapsodo I took a swing with a driver that look s like I never played golf before and t was on the follow through. Like someone had handcuffed me before and after impact. Is that what I’m experiencing at the 4:02-4:03 mark of this lesson with the tree analogy? Thanks much Shawn for the help.
Could be one of the issues; however, my first question would be what was the focus just before you swung? What was the task? Make sure you have a task and that you have practiced executing that task. See “top 3 tasks” and “task cybervision”
Sure! Here you go!

Hi Shawn I’m still fading the driver a bit. And do I need to have my weight on my left side and press the club forward I noticed this promotes an open club face. I’m a right handed player
George Knudsen said, that the only thing, that does not move in his golf swing, is the left big toe. That thought might be helpful to some for this drill.
Interesting; however not a point of focus. Example: A student gets good at throwing the club; they get good at predicting that the ball is in the way of the throw going towards the direction of the flight plan; they then notice that their weight shift has never felt so good and they begin to get distracted by that, “making sure” they keep shifting the weight in that manner so they don’t lose it like all the other times they lost their swing. Their focus on their task of throwing goes away and therefore the swing goes away.
TASK TRUMPS EVERYTHING. GET AWESOME WITH THE TASK DELIVERY. 😝😀
Yes, ‚toe’ along the lines of ‚suction cup‘ or ‚immediacy of the swivel‘ and ‚staying very close to the lead side‘ only. Once you swing, it is task only; I understand that as being the core of your teaching. In my opinion all of us have the natural ability to play golf correctly to begin with.
Hi Shawn, I’m loving the premium content and I’m working really hard to lower my handicap. One of the issues I thought i was having was my angle of attack, but with my 7-iron I typically hit down on the ball about 4.5 degrees. So I’m trying to figure out where I’m losing distance. I recently had my swing recorded and noticed my body goes upward during impact on the ball, rather than going through the shot to compress with momentum. What do you suggest? I’m currently carrying my 7-iron 150 and want to get that back up to 170. Thanks!
Hey Shane! Search and watch all the videos with “release” in them, then see “throwing the club” and the “throwing series” and see the first video in the consistency series to really see just how closed the face can be in the set up and swing. Then see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series: and finally “target confirmation series”
Hi Shawn , when you take a practice swing above the ball to see the blur of the club how do you lower the stance to the right height. Do you bend over from the hips or do you bend the knees to lower the body? Thanks for any advice.
Ney Marcus! Everything lowers like a squat in the gym; you need to simply stay in balance; see “pumping up the volume” video as well as “feet together back to feet apart” and the new “kinetic chain engagement” series.
Shawn I know this seems like a silly question but I can never tell on the videos. After you pick your target and your intermediate point. Are you lining up to the target or the intermediate point?
Not silly at all! You will see in the original “working the ball” that I line up the feet parallel to the end target with draw and to the beginning of the flight plan with the fade. Those lines get “blurred”, pardon the pun, as this is the title of an important video called “Blur of club” and the “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” which lines up the “blur” of the swing’s natural arc to the direction through the ball and intermediate point, and when you predict the ball position and club face and distance to ball to that, you have a stance line that can be closer to the “diagonal stance series”. It is truly fascinating the glass ceilings we are braking when we are simply staying open to what our machine wants to do and how it wants to set up to the flight plan we establish for it to follow. Pinocchio is really and truly free here! 😎. See what works for you!
Had a wonderful day of golf yesterday due to your clear instruction Shawn. After 1 under on the front nine I started trying to manipulate and shot 6 over on the back with 2 penalty strokes. I now trust your chipping and pitching and since neither requires much in the way of effort they work very well. Once I start “adding” strain to the full swing – bad things happen. That is partly 50 years of unlearning happening in real time. Looking forward to improving now that I have your good information. Had to watch chipping and pitching videos at least 15 times each and practice chipping a lot before it sunk in for me to trust it. Been watching Posture Part 2 now for maybe the 5th time and pick up a nuance each time. Thanks and Happy Easter!
And a Happy Easter to you!! This is exactly how to use our videos to get somewhere!! Big Kudos to you on your progress so far and can’t wait to hear about the effortless under par rounds coming up!!
Hi Shawn, I’m very excited about joining your premium program… love your teaching philosophy and techniques. I am a 72 year old 10 handicapper, have played golf all my life. Putting has always been the weakest part of my game but nothing like I am going through now. I really like your philosophy of zero manipulation and trusting gravity/momentum. I am great on the practice green. But on the golf course I hit great shots into greens and struggle to 2 putt. Everything just breaks down. It is so frustrating it has me thinking about quitting the game I love. I am obviously a total head case. Do you have any advice for me? I’ll do anything to become a good putter!
Hey Rod! I see a lot of head cases, so you are not alone! 😝😝
See the latest “never miss another short putt” video; it is really terrific! Have you tried to putt while looking at the hole?
