You bet man! Stay tuned right here and we will keep moving through wonderland easier and with more consistency with every passing month! Teaching golf at the club has never been so easy and fun where every student that comes through walks out with a smile and says: “I knew you would find the issues and fix them; just did not expect to get them fixed so soon!

Hey Calvin!
You cannot make sure of contact ever!!!!!!
The priority is: IF YOU THROW THE CLUB IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO START THE BALL, YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE LOW ENOUGH TO CUT GRASS AT GROUND LEVEL. Eyes on grass not ball.
Throw the club into a full release and then see how the contact was, not see how contact was and then figure out if you stayed with it. See “target confirmation series” and see “trust your swing” too

Yes, see “how to use the weight in the swing-axe drill with Savy” on premium!

You need to let the swing EVOLVE around your new focus! In the meantime, see “open up the machine on the golf course” and “trust your swing” videos on premium!

If the course you play is pristine and intermediate points are hard to find, take a practice swing 6 feet back from the target with the ball as the intermediate point and send a nice divot in that direction. The ensuing debris created by this will fall in front of the ball and give you all the intermediate points you need! 😀👍🤛💪

Next week’s pitching video on “perpetual motion” will take a deeper dive!
However, if you throw the club in the direction you want to start the ball, and film yourself doing it from face on, you will see “tour caliber” lag. All you need to do after that is throw without letting go with the prediction that the ball is in the way!
See “throwing the club” and “predict contact” and the “goldie locks series”

Hey Sandy!
This is where you need to get your hands on a 6 pound sledge hammer; you have seen me use it in other videos right? When you simply swing the sledge hammer back and forth in front of you like a long chip, YOU CANNOT USE THE HANDS and will feel the swing happen where it should from the shoulder sockets. If the arms are dead at address, and the arm-club unit is hanging from the shoulders, in a solid state, and you cannot use them and they are just waiting there, you will feel the need to use the legs to get them going!! See “Kinetic chain series” when I demonstrate that even the chip shots have a DOUBLE KINETIC CHAIN, one on the backswing and one on the through swing.

OK – now I have to get a sledgehammer! hahaha!
Thanks will look into those videos again.

I just favorited this video and plan on hanging out on this one for a long time. I thought I had my chipping together today, but unfortunately… chipping cost me dearly on the scorecard. My distance judgement was way off. Even doing Goldilocks didn’t seem to help with distance… any drill suggestion? Or is it good ole fashioned wood shedding.

…to be consistent need to find the low point with pmd, then Goldilocks the lie , then make sure the clearing involves getting the ground by loading the front foot ( watch Shawn’s on the video) and cut the grass to the intermediate point in the sequence ball, grass, (dirt).
The drill is like the video…hammer to get the feedback then repeat with club in PMD…

Jeez! You left me with nothing to say!!😂😂

Low point is ahead of that!! You want to catch the ball before the low point!
See the full Chipping video at the beginning of the list to see the full reason; it has to do with the fact that the arm-club unit does not load in the backswing and therefore less lag and less forward shaft lean.

Thank you for that important feedback! Without you guys, the information would not be as potent! 😀👍👌

This is where the prediction process of “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” comes into play!😀👍

When standing over that chip, are you looking to shave the grass in the direction you want to land the ball with the weight of the arms and club or are you worried about contact?

Usually worried about the contact…wrong swing thought.

EXACTLY!!! Let momentum shave along the grass in the direction you want the ball to go! Make sure you have an intermediate point!! You will be able to chip out of divots after that!

Did you see the original chipping video at the beginning of the list?

Using a less lofted club makes it much simpler on a tight lie provided you’re just off the green with nothing to go over.

So glad you think so Mike! Sorry I missed this comment a while back! 😀👍

Another fear monger at work telling you to be careful and watch out! 😝😝
When we say let the arm-putter unit swing, it means exactly that!
See “take a sledge hammer to your short game shawn clement” on youtube and practice with a 6 pound sledge and you tell me you should freeze the lower body…best way to learn the yips!

Thank you Shawn! Ever since that comment my putting has gotten worse is I feel like a stiff board trying to “hit” a putt. It doesn’t feel natural. Checking out the video now! Thanks!

Hi Sumit!
All about getting the feel of letting the kinetic chain pull the arms through to a nice full release; you want to do it with each hand and then both hands together like in the “release fine tuning” except with a nice turbo charge in the freed up leg work!
