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! 😀👍

Hey Linda! Yes! Which hole did the wheels start falling off? What was the shot? Did you feel comfortable over it? What was the last thing going through your mind just before you swung?
also, great timing, routine is in the last 6 sessions starting with putting and chipping-then we build into pitching and full swing and tee shots. Happy Sunday!

Hi Ish; sorry I missed this one! It is all about getting through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball; WITH EASE!!! See “the goldie locks series” and “predict contact” and then for the strain level, see “pre-motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series”

Hey Mike! I assume you are talking about the lead shoulder? Never do anything that strains in the backswing, because when you deliver a nice throw in the direction you want to send the ball and ENGAGE THE KINETIC CHAIN, which is a human reflex, you open yourself to injury. See “purpose of backswing”, “arm swing vs body turn”, and the super slow and super relaxed backswing drill in one of our latest off season training sessions…number 7 I think?

Fantastic Thomas! Thank you for the feedback and keep going! 😀👍

Hey Darrell! Have a look at the “fade fine tuning” video; and see “diagonal stance series” where the alignment of the feet is not a “MUST” but simply a way to facilitate and allow the FLOW OF MOMENTUM to start in the direction you want to start the ball. Mine are typically parallel left of the direction I want to start the ball on for the fade.
