For Mu, he is getting the Riffle 6.5 which is the heaviest and Jumbo grips for his “meat hook hands” 😝
fitting is important; we do “goldie Locks” with shaft flex and shaft weight for our students and the results are super! Same for grip size. Goldie Locks is your best friend in everything!

Great stuff! And regardless of fade or draw, you are behind the hit. Remember that the shoulder alignment has nothing to do with the path of the arm swing.

Exactly! This is why we call it wisdom! It is amazing how so many players have mediocre grips on tour that shift around and finish completely out of position at the end of the swing; I truly believe that there is an extra gear in control for them if they master what you just experienced! See Justin Thomas, Adam Scott, Colin Morikawa as prime examples…

You are going to really enjoy the feel! 👍👍😀

Hey Ryan! The best videos for that are the “fade fine tuning” and the “draw fine tuning” videos-Enjoy!

Hey Ron! Ha, that has nothing to do with it and it is one of the most misunderstood things in golf. Next youtube video will be on this very subject. In premium, you want to first see “how to match backswing to picture target” and “arm swing vs body turn”
see also a terrific couple of videos from the most recent 2020 off season training on takeaway waggle for fade and draw! 👍😀

Thanks for seeing it as I intended Shawn. I’m watching these now. Your instruction is just what I and others who try to “hit positions” during our swing need! I’m slowly but surely starting to loosen up and allow this, albeit older, machine do what it knows what to do. 🙂 Peace

Shawn, I want to be clear. I’m certainly not critiquing your swing. It’s just that I’m working so hard on getting this “right” that I’d like to better understand what “right” is, at least for me. Thanks again.

And no worries, no critique taken! 😝😝😝
everyone has quirks, it is why we called our podcast “perfect imperfections! 😂😀,

Hey Ryan! See the way I do it in the Goldie locks series; always do it is relation to delivering a nice throwing release in the direction you want to start the ball.

Hey Ryan! Once the distance to ball is done with Goldie Locks, you want to go to the “how to match backswing to target” video and goldie locks the top of the backswing-combine this with your awareness and the laid off will go away. Laid off backswings are developed by either defaulting to the ball over time or defaulting to side vision without an intermediate point over time or both.

Hi Eckhart! We have answered this question several times in the grip videos; see the “long thumb or short thumb” comments on this. Everyone is different on this for sure as hand size and digit lengths are all over the board!

Thank you; I found the answer in the comments under one of the grip videos.

Thinking about the last swing analysis you sent me; for you in happens in the backswing; so see “miles markers for balance” and “how to match backswing to ball flight” videos

Thanks!

😂😝

Right on Scott! You did it! You persevered with task based learning and slowly the brain made the necessary connections to bring it to reality. So pumped for you man!! 👍😀👌💪🤛

Shawn,
Now the ball is inconsequential. Before l so focused on the ball, it looked like the hitting area was tiny. Now it feels like the leading edge of my club can cut the grass an inch or two on both sides of the ball. That lets me swing with a lot of freedom. Thanks!

Good man! When you can see things clearly and consequently you achieve freedom as a side effect, you are in the pocket!! 😀👍

The very best AHA moment I had was when I saw my posture maintain itself naturally without thinking when doing the walking drill on a downhill lie. Try that! Film it!
see the most recent videos we did all 3 of us on that…mindblowing!! I then took it to the 2 swing drill and now have that in my “pre-motor cortex” just before I swing into my picture.

Hi Thomas! I often see as a teacher how a student will unknowingly shift the grip just before they swing; especially happens when they ground the club behind the ball; they feel a different balance in their hands and brain does not like it because it cannot predict what will happen. So to help the anxiety from that, it shifts back to what it feels comfortable with.

So after you see (if you have not done so yet) the “goldie locks series” and “predict contact” as well as “draw fine tuning”, when you are out hitting shots, after you take your grip and have established a grip-club relation strong enough where you feel the ball will draw back after you deliver to the right of the intermediate point, do not ground the club to give you any opportunity to re-grip and stay with the prediction process and just deliver your task completely and observe what happens. Also see the first video in “the consistency series” to see just how closed is still well acceptable! 😀👍
