This is exactly what I need to do. Can’t wait to spend a week training with you once Covid is behind us

Shawn – what do you mean when you say “release the tees in that direction”?

Fascinant le parallèle. Jamais pensé que mes mains pouvaient être utilisées comme au hockey, sport que j’ai pratiqué jusqu’au niveau professionnel! Bien hâte d’essayer cela. Je m’attends à revoir ma prise (grip) selon le type d’effet (fade ou draw, bas ou haut).

This is timely…I have used something like this to get back to basics when my swing is going bad. I can really sense the pressure/leverage doing this with around a 1/2 to 2/3 swing with an iron. However, when I get above that height, things become loose or out of sync and I have difficulty getting access to the leveraged feel. I’ve noticed the same issue when hitting the volleyball. (fun drill!) I can get good leverage with 1/2 or 2/3 type swings but a 3/4 to full swing gets wild. Any thoughts or ideas?

Shawn: I have 4 concepts going on: strong v. weak; open/neutral v. closed. I am concerned that I am mixing up strong with closed. Do you have “oldie” video explaining the difference between strong and weak? Is it possible to have a weak but closed grip?

I had to take a week off for work and vacation but I’m back for more fun “work”.
I have been focusing much on the trail hand grip. The details of that focus are the connection between the thumb and index finger and grip pressure. Since I have these women’s hands my question goes out to Savy. On a scale of 1 to 10 what do you feel your grip pressure is at address and into the takeaway. ?
Thank yinz

I am getting an error (403) when I try to download the music

Hi Shawn. I keep splitting the skin on my left thumb, just above the tip crease. What am I doing wrong? I’m guessing this should not happen.

I’m right handed.

“18 degree launch is solid for a 9 iron”, wait! what???
What kind of stupidly strong lofts those clubs have?

Loving this thought of a short quick shortstop throw for my wedges. It makes it so easy to deliver the club through the ball to the target. Thanks Shawn

Hi Shawn, I’ve heard you mention many times “do you feel at the top like you have access to the direction you want to start the ball…”…my question is, from “where” as in where on the body, am I feeling? Am I trying to determine if my lead arm can swing in the direction I want to start (as you did with the javeline?) Am I feeling it from my waiste? My trail hand?

Any insight would be helpful…thanks as always for everything! Every time I try something else, I always end up back with WIG because you just got it! and It’s clear you put in sooo much effort to help us understand! you are appreciated!

Great lesson right here

Every once in a while, these lessons send a chill down my spine – this was definitely one! Thank you guys!

To Munashe: dude, I am so impressed with where your golf swing is, in such a short amount of time – FANTASTIC job! You have the fortune of missing out on years of mentally and physically painful golf, like the rest of us who didn’t find Mr. Clemens earlier!

The best part of this video is the real discussion of what each of you experience in performing the drills. I have experienced the club rolling in my hands on the walking drill along with swinging at the ball. With these results it was easy just to stop the drill. Now, I understand my experience is normal and what feedback is being provided.
My volleyball arrived a couple a days ago and I am eager to get to a space where I can work with it. I anticipate that it will help me get through the shot. The impact reinforces swinging at the ball. The drill with the board should help with staying with the shot however I am not sure how it will work on grass. I do not have access to an indoor facility but my club does have all grass practice area.

Great video, my only complaint is when you do the slow motion and the music cuts in, it blasts you right out. It is much louder than the voice volume that you have on your mike’s. It would be just fine if the music was turned down half of what it is.
