    Shawn,

    When performing pitch shots you mention cutting through the stem, is hammering through a door frame an appropriate task for pitch shots? Carpentry tasks seem to work better for my brain.

    Thanks

    Hello Shawn,
    great stuff again, one question if i may:
    On the „Chipping Video“ you clearly state to use an open club face.
    When it comes to pitching, shall we let the face open as well, or close it as if we do a full shot?
    many thanks and best regards,
    Thomas

      hi Sue! Definitely need more specific details and I recommend you either do a swing analysis or a 1-1 skype or facetime session with me so I can get you on the proper path of priorities to get you evolving in the right direction! Shawn

    I have a question about grip club relationship. I take a neutral grip with a closed club face but when I set up to the ball I rotate my wrists to square the club. I notice you get behind the ball to square the face. I have a problem trying to draw or even hook the ball because no matter how much I close the club face I rotate my wrists to square it up. Any help would be appreciated.

      Thank you! One last question. Do You put shaft lean on the club when you close the face or is the club shaft centered? When I close the club face I only hit low straight shots. I can hit straight fades and fades but not draws. It seems my right wrist dorsiflexes when I close my face. Thanks again.

      See the “most important video on grip ever” video and you will understand how the body accommodates for the task at hand! 👍😀

      Hi Marcus! What you are doing is fine; you will eventually gravitate to what I am doing; see the “most important video on grip ever” and then see “lead hand release”, “trail hand release” and “snap release polish” videos to make sure you are not “guiding the shots” and that you are fully releasing the shots.

  • From Sébastien EBALARD on USING WEIGHT TO HIT THE SHOTS-AXE DRILL WITH SAVY

    Hi Shawn,
    For this drill would that be better to have a heavy clubhead? with my golf clubs i can’t feel the weight of the head at the top of the backswing.
    thanks 🙂

      You should not feel the weight at the top of the backswing as this is where the arms and club are weightless! The point where you feel a nice G-force is past the ball and even past the intermediate point; when you throw the club and don’t let go, you will feel the club pull on you and release the hands and pull you into a nice finish. See “throw the club” video and “the throwing series”

    I watched the most important grip video ever. This is what I feel like I need to do. Make a neutral grip with a closed face, set up over the ball and line the face up to the target by somewhat closing my shoulders to the target allowing me to swing out and release out to the right promoting a draw. This gives more power because it helps drive the club through by being more anatomical correct in the hands and arms. Does this sound right? It feels like My shoulders are lined up more right of target when I do this.

      Very good Harry! And no worries about feeling the closed shoulders, they will feel this way compared to what you are used to but they are way less closed than you feel. Remember the hammer analogy and set up with a hammer to a door frame and feel how natural it is! 👍😀

      Played 9 holes on a little par 3 course, longest hole is 166 yds. I worked on my grip making it a touch stronger and lined as mentioned in my previous comment. It seems that this grip makes me pull ball with draw bias flight. I was missing left side of the green consistent . . I played 3 balls each hole and 2 would miss left. Now this greens are all 15 to 20 feet wide (small) with the biggest 25 but most holes are 80 to 120 yards long. So not terrible misses but not where I felt like I was aiming. How can I dial this in?

    • From Shawn Clement on IMPORTANT GRIP UPDATE

      Good! This means that your club face is now closed enough and that you can start releasing to the right of the intermediate point. The problem is that your side vision is telling you that it is too far right and this will cause you to bail and pull left. This is why the “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” is really important and please search and watch all the videos that relate to “alignment” on premium!

    This video made a lot of sense to me. After watching, I went in the back yard to hit a few wiffle balls. It took a few swings to learn how to relax the arms but once I did, the shots starting going straighter and a little longer. Definitely need to practice more but I did see instant improvement.

    Shawn,

    This is the best video I have seen yet! This approach fits perfectly with what we think we know from the brain research. We don’t always know what we’re missing, but most of the time we can sure tell what feels right and what doesn’t. Focusing on exaggerating the bad feel for a second will make the good way more noticeable because it will feel like coming home. Then instead of wondering if I am set up properly, I can begin my swing feeling like I am at home and comfortable.

    Shawn: I vaguely remember hearing you discuss a slight “pre-set turn” of the shoulders in one of your videos. For beginners at least. Could you please direct me to that content? ‘Looking forward to the next in this series!

  • From Harry Wilson on THROWING SERIES- PART 1

    I did some throwing of old clubs today. The first throw was a pull naturally…The others I got on target but was not throwing as far or as hard as I could, I would say one out of ten. As I practice this should I increase effort? (As long as it’s in a safe place of course) Or just practice the feel. I thinking I should eventually increase effort as it would potentially help with distance/club head speed.

      Hi Harry! Good stuff! Yes, as you get the hang of it, you can open up and abandon the throw more for sure! I like throwing about 50 yards, and your comfort zone could be 30-35 yards. Once you feel that kinetic chain engage and load the arm-club unit, (if that already has not been felt, you will know when it happens), you will feel the immediate “plug in” capacity to your golf shots; high or low, draw or fade. 😀👍

    Great video! Would you apply these same concepts when using a 3 wood or 5 wood but with less tilt than a Driver?
