Shawn, ive heard you mention jumbo grips. I dont have huge hands but ive always wondered if they were worth trying. I really struggle with a secure grip when i swing a golf club but not when i swing my grass whip. Worth a try?

Been following you for ages on Youtube & have now subscribed.

I am in the UK & play off 10 & I am 63 years old. Ive been practising the kinetic swing & realised my hips were rotating but much to slowly but i have now got them rotating quicker & with the strong grip I am amazed at how good the whip on the release has got & a big increase in club head speed. Thanks Shawn

Shawn,

I saw one of your videos, a driver training session with a rather tall gentleman, with your advice “set up like a power lifter”; that new position felt odd to him yet had great results.

My tall player goldilocks question: tradeoff hip bend versus knee bend:
trying less hip flexion with the body more upright, I feel it is easier to perform a balanced “throw”, but this requires extra knee bend, which feels a bit odd to me too.

Would you rather say,
‘let you arms hang freely (‘out of the way, out of the way‘), – that determines your hip flex -, and adjust down further as needed with knee bend’ ?
Or,
‘tall players have to use more hip flex because they generally use too much knee bend’.

Hi Shawn, Do you now use a neutral grip as opposed to a strong grip for full shots

Great lesson my friend

Hi Shawn, s this video “5 more mph with this release” for eagle members only? I can’t seem to view it and I don’t see any indication it’s eagle members only.
I’m a new member since January and love everything I’ve watched so far!
Thanks
David

I needed this! I bought a 48″ metal ruler to help practice starting putts on my desired line. My stroke was everywhere and really “punchy”. I could not get the ball to stay on the ruler all the way to the end. After trying out Sav’s routine my putter stroke freed up and got online. 20 putts in a row all the way down the ruler. End over end roll as well. Thanks!

What the…. Sav and Mu putting right handed?? Any particular reason they do this?

So what’s the deal. Sav and Mu are putting right-handed, but hit their clubs left handed??? Enjoyed the lesson.

Looks like the lower body is locked down. Is there any weight transfer between the feet when putting?

There should never be any locking down of the lower body for any shot; this is a task delivery occupation for the mind and brain and that task is to use the weight of the arms and putter to roll the ball into the picture you envisioned it rolling into the hole with. See the “list of videos by date” and scroll down to the first putting video for more details on putting technique and in one of our other ones should be a video on long putts where the lower body becomes more engaged as the putts get longer and the motion looks like a chip. This keeps the stroke moving on it’s proper arc and keep the momentum flowing to not ever have to resort to “HITTING” the ball.

Hi Shawn,
I would like to include the left elbow and shoulder girdle into the mental image and feel of this drill. Single handedly the slash is easy for me, with both hands on the club it is not.

Imagine you draw a downward triangle, sharp angle at your hands, up along the outside of the elbows and the outside of the shoulders, connecting at the base just behind your back.

Are you rotating this triangle ‘out of the way’ and up, then, bringing it down as a unit ( including shouldergirdle, fixed distance between the elbows), now tilted, through the space in front of your body in the plane that allows you to release the hammer correctly unto the nail into the door frame ?

I have the feeling that my left arm/elbow hinders my right elbow to get in front of me.

Why is that so ? Does the left arm or shoulder release/ exorotate/ open to early and pull the right arm out of position ?

How can I keep the two in harmony ?
Regards

When yinz are backed off the line and performing the goldilocks strokes or perpetual motion strokes that is very advantageous in controlling speed. Could the acid stroke be viewed as an interruption between the g.l. strokes and actual putting stroke. When I feel the weight of the proper perpetual stroke I like to immediately move in and repeat that feel. How much importance do yinz put on that acid test ? Is the acid test critical or is it a matter of preference?
Thank yinz for another great video

Great video. When using the Goldilocks method to find the starting line. In this video you started to far left and adjusted to the right. Do you vary which direction you start and make adjustments based on the break. In other words, do you start too high and then bring it down? Or does it matter at all?

I swing left handed (left hand dominant too) and have always felt like my stroke is more consistent when I test a right handed putter. Not really sure why but I have been thinking of converting. Do you recommend?

Awsome stuff! Love the Go Pro view! Hint: as i remember, the Go Pro has a Slo Mo setting. Would be great to use this setting for the slo mo because there wouldn’t be a blurred image, which comes from normal speed. Why do i mention that? Cause it would give a perfect picture of the impact and how the club face is presented thru the ball towards the target. best regards
