Yes! See the videos by date and watch “weight shift with Savy” then “feet together drill” “feet together back to feet apart” “head and hip swivel” “ “head position and turn” “tilt mile markers” “tilt awareness-direction-practice” “garage door drill” “takeaway” “rope drill”and “walking drill”
driver setup middle of stance ball off right toe
aim middle right of fairway(left handed)
swing middle
am I swinging along toe line or along target line?
toward 3rd base ??
All right! Great questions, which tell me you are not using your intermediate point (IP) properly.
looks like your flight plan is draw from middle of fairway back to right side of fairway.
1-choose an IP that lines up with right side of fairway.
2-when you set up to that, find ball position that allows you to deliver to the left edge of the IP
3-grip and club face feels strong enough or closed enough so that when you deliver your “arc-blur” (see videos on this in search box) in the direction you want to start the ball, which is left of IP, which is centre of fairway, you feel the ball will curve back to right centre of fairway.
Videos to watch:
”arc-blur unstoppable momentum” videos
”great driver nugget”
”diagonal stance series”
There are quite a few that will help with that; see “eagle exclusive Savy getting better AOA and Lag” then “2 tee drill with Perpetual motion” then “downhill shots with unstoppable momentum” and “kinetic chain arc-blur combo chip and pitch” to get you started! 😀👍
Hello Shawn,
Trying to cut the stem or a bamboo in both direction i have been experiencing a kind of a new image. In fact i imagine that a bunch of bamboo sticks are lying down in front of me forming like a curtain lying on the floor, and when i am trying to cut to see what.s behind this curtain then my club tends to touch the ground in both direction better. I don.t know if my image is good or should i go back on imagining a stem standing up instead of lying down?
This has to be my favorite style of video. Teaching the concepts and instructing someone (Moo and Sav). The tug of war feeling with the head back and seeing the ball go through an actual “door frame” are golden nuggets! Thanks!
This is a great series of instruction for seniors. I am 84 and it is very helpful. Shot an 80 today in spite of strong winds and cold weather. Interesting that your driver set up is with center of mass of driver is about 6-8 inches behind the ball. I think Moe had the driver about 23 inches behind the ball.. all your videos are very good, especially the earlier ones. However it is difficult to find some of them, ie: “ don’t let it hit me, don’t let ir hit me”. I love that one but can’t find it.
Stay safe,
Flip
Hi Flip! Thank you for your precious feedback; much appreciated! If you look in the “video list by date” and scroll down to almost the bottom, you will see the “wisdom in golf 1.0” and it will be in the first one. Other series to watch are the “off season training series” and the “consistency series” which you can just type in the search box of the site. Shawn
Are you opening and closing the club at address by turning it with your hands in place, by moving the handle forward or back, or by changing your grip? Do you use the same procedure with the driver as with the other clubs?
Hey Sam! Sorry I missed this one; you must let go of the club, turn the club more closed or open, then regrip in the same place. See “the goldie locks series” and the video on grip-club face.
Shawn – good video! I’ve been struggling with slice. This lesson and football drill helped me tremendously. The big take away for me was that I was not completing my backswing. Completing the back swing with my elbow on task for throwing the football at target through intermediate target produced nice ball flight with no slice. Hit driver 270 yards….not bad for 62+ years old.
Bill Mehlhorn said “The last thing to move in the take away is the club head”. It is a great way to hit the ball, especially if you have stiff wrists. Good series.
If you look at our “perpetual motion drill series” you will see how the hands lead the handle into the backswing most naturally in the “dual kinetic chain” that is a golf swing! Very good Flip! 💪👌😀👍
This was a great series! #5 really helped me out of my recent quandary, which was…… ” trouble getting the club in the slot while maintaining leverage.” Maintaining leverage (for me) is “being able to whip the club.” Went to the range after watching #5 twice; to confirm that I interpreted the lesson correctly. Wow! Just pounding the ball! Effort 4 and velocity 8! Hit about half a dozen drivers and the last couple I amped it up. So much fun!
Thanks Shawn, Mu and Sav!
Man, that is awesome! So happy you got a great light bulb moment out of it, one of my students last night in my winter program got a very similar AHA moment as the awareness of RELAXED BALANCE at the top of the backswing and the awareness of potential for a sweet and easy throwing-whipping-releasing action to target was optimized, he could not believe how hard he had been working at it and you should have seen the RELIEF in his shrug after he felt that ball come off the club with a 1/10 in effort! 👌💪👍😂
I have played for 60+ years by defaulting to the ball and have learned to square the face by manipulating my hands and timing my “release/flip”. I don’t have direction issues but am seriously distance challenged. I now know why!! FWIW I would never hammer horizontally like you show. I need to rethink that and think about lining up the radius and ulna to deliver the club through and let the release just happen?? Are there other videos that you can suggest? Thanks so much for all you do.
Hi Ed! Sorry I missed this comment! My favourite is the throwing the club drill; it is really a game changer! See “throwing the club” and “the throwing series” as well as the “goldie locks series” and “predict contact”
When you and Sav go to the top, it appears to me that as you start the downswing you both actually raise the arms slightly higher is this automatically happening with you being aware?
This is the kinetic chain kicking in! We are wired to do this big time! Like a baseball player at bat, and he or she commits to the pitch and as they step into it, the arms GO UP! 😀👍
see “backswing levitation” video for more on this.
