This video nailed it. It’s funny when the brain focuses on one part of the swing other parts of the swing revert back to old habits. Precisely focused “REPS” on the correct feel is what I am lacking. This explains the lead arm across the chest and the loss of lag in the downswing. As I watch your swings I see much higher hands that remain in front of the chest. It is a powerful position and I will definitely own it.
Thank yinz

Hi Shawn, I use the task of cutting grass but I don’t feel like I get that nice snap also I have a tendency to focus on the impact zone because my focus is on cutting the grass where the ball is. Can you give me some pointers for the cutting grass task to get more through to the target while still feel like I’m cutting grass and also get a better release?

Can’t hear Savannah when she’s talking off camera.

You talked about a “BATON” at the end of the video above and that you would discuss it in detail on the next video.. It wasn’t mentioned again in the nest chronological l video(Specialty shots). Where can I find the Baton discussion?

Sean, Just watched this video. As an MIT Grad School trained engineer, and Orthopedic Surgeon, I’m not sure that encouraging your students to “snap” the club in the direction of the target is good advice. As you know, that hands are actually slowing down at the point of contact without any conscious effort of the golfer to do so. The club “snaps” by itself as the club is released. Any attempt to force a snap, in my humble opinion, will ruin the kinetic chain sequence!
Your thoughts?

Shawn, You talk about the pro shop page in the video but my premium page I don’t have that link. Where should I look for that?
Thanks Mike

Shawn! I thought you were going to bust out the G Force whippy club for sure! Saw that on the channel a while back and that thing is great.

So I have a damaged left elbow and I’m not able to straighten my arm (think Calvin Peete). When I take my swing, I swear it doesn’t feel like I can get my right hip out of the way because the club is moving back into my body moving left. When I fight it, I end up moving my right hip into the ball and to avoid my arms crashing they’re moving out too. So, on my solid hits the ball is creeping in to the heel (hosel) of the club and it is hard to release the club toward the target…….and I can hit hit some darn solid hosel balls. When I pull back I’m hitting toe/pulls…….it doesn’t feel natural/easy or attainable…….very frustrating.

When I set up square and then drop my right foot back a few inches it all of a sudden feels like I can easily swing to my IP and “plane wood” in that direction. It feels like I’m out of the way so I can swing.

I mean it’s definitely not conventional but good grief it feels ten-fold better……and no one has ever suggested this to me. Before the accident, I was playing to a 4 handicap and I have pretty much quit playing because I just cant hit the ball the way I used to or want to.

Since applying some of the WIG principals and becoming more target oriented I feel as though there has been progress…….no break thrus but progress. So my question is do you think I can progress with WIG principals playing a slightly diagonal stance? Thanks!

The closed captioning is real helpful, but a little too fast for me.

I was reminded of an old pointer about keeping your mouth open/jaw slack, during the swing – to avoid over-straining. Used it on the course the other day and had one of my best driving rounds ever!

It looks like you are getting the ground before you start your hip and body rotation. Am I seeing it correctly?

Question for you guys, when i focus on my perpetual motion drill and whipping/throwing my club at the target, especially with driver and longer clubs, my wrists seem to get very loose. I’m trying to make sure that I don’t worry at all about the club or position, but I notice my driver in my peripheral vision and I’m wondering how to know if my second pendulum of my wrists is actually too engaged? Does that make sense? with my shorter/heavier clubs I seem to have no problem at all.

Shawn, any chance you can provide an updated video with 3D motion of your swing as well as foot pressure/weight throughout the swing? I’m really trying to better understand the transition and starting the downswing properly while also shifting weight properly so I’m not early extending and on my toes at impact.

Thanks,

Tom

Twenty minutes in, it’s extraordinary how much you drop from the top. There’s a little light aove your head and you must squat ten inches, possibly more. Wow.

The gopro angle at the end was very helpful in understanding how far out to the right the swing needs to feel! Surprisingly easy to see the blur as well.
