Hi Shawn,
I love this drill, because you can’t cheat. I noticed on the video that you said Moo wasn’t allowing the club to levitate up. I have that problem with the driver. The driver is the most inconsistent club in my bag. I feel that my hands often get too low in the backswing and around me. How can I feel or obtain that levitation up with the driver, without trying to manipulate the club up? Any drills or videos to watch to help me with that?
1-are the shots going straight left or do they have a curve to the left?
2-see “draw fine tuning” and all my alignment videos on premium (use search bar)
3-see “blur of club” and “arc blur unstoppable momentum” videos on premium
Do the PMD feet together and feel that release-re-hinge upwards in Both directions. Also do some ball below the feet PMDs with the driver or fairway wood!
Hi Shawn,
i close my driver nearly 40-45°, the shorter the club the less i close them. Sometimes i think i bow my wrists because of the too open face. Sometimes my left hand hurts after a hit.
Should the face be closed the same amount with every club? My wedges are about 20°. My stock shot is a draw.
My lag seems to be best with my driver, but when i close the irons more it feels more difficult to hit the draw and i hook them. I usually hit my clubs a little more to the toe, but constant.
Could you help me?
See “blur of club” and then “unstoppable momentum blur of club” videos first to get a proper reference system. Then you need to confirm that you are delivering well through the ball with “target confirmation series” and “pre-motor cortex series”
Great video. Turning the club works great with irons and hybrids. Feel like I have to rely on only a strong grip with woods and driver as with these clubs turning them puts them into an awkward position when on the ground.Can you do another video with woods and Driver with these concepts and go pro/ drone.Would like to see your hands out in front with these clubs as still an issue for me. Thanks
Yes Shawn, please do one with woods and Driver. Best video so far on dynamically squaring the clubface. Also could you go through a faster routine for use on the golf course. Doing perpetual motion and moving the club to a stronger grip seems to take so much time for me and when you are playing with a bunch of guys it is awkward. So a good routine incorporating all these concepts for fast play would be useful. thanks again
Love this video, I didn’t understand squaring the club face without this explanation. Mu, great drone work, I can’t wait to see how your drone pilot skills progress along with your golf. You guys are such a great team and your content just gets better and better.
Thank you Marisa! Will pass the word to Mu! We had a nice session today testing out a new portable launch monitor that looks very promising. We got him “not letting go with his lead hand to allow the club to fully release him and whoa, we eliminated all fade spin and he is drawing the ball beautifully and delivering some nice 190 yard 7 irons!
This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. All season I’ve been working on the arc, using the intermediate point, etc., and seeing nice improvement. Yesterday I made the best contact in recent weeks, but all shots went left – some left fairway, others into the tree line. I was planning to experiment with the amount of closing the face, but after seeing this I know that is exactly what is needed. Looking forward to getting that figured out! Thanks so much, Shawn!
Great video Shawn. I can’t see why the same principles can’t be applied to the driver and the hybrid, but then I’m a new-boy. So I will give it a try on the range tomorrow with the iron, driver and hybrid and see what happens.
Thanks Shawn great video I wish my first golf professional as a 18 yr old would have explained the “square “ club face in that manner would have saved me years man years of grief . I have read articles in golf magazines about how the average golfer isn’t getting any better by handicaps and the golfing industry doesn’t know how to change that . It’s called Wisdom in Golf baby seriously you are the finest golf teacher on the planet .
Thanks Dave
Thank you Dave; I hear you loud and clear and hope that many professionals are seeing this and are going to give this option front and centre for their students! 😀👍
Got it; I can see why now! Will be glad to oblige! We have a one leg drill coming up next and then a one leg drill back to 2 feet where we will do it with driver in both of them!
Cut and paste my post ont the other Chanel!!! Love it, Love it, Love it – especially the GoPro!
Happy to translate into Italian when you come over to Toscana!!
This is a great video Shawn, very helpful. This is a piece of the puzzle I was struggling with, I have been hitting hooks and pushes. So the shorter irons (9i etc) are more closed that longer irons and driver or all similar?
Hey Vince! They can vary depending on the manufacturer; sometimes woods more closed and sometimes not. Irons are all the same but when you need an extra boost, the shorter irons can be closed a bit more; think Bubba Watson at the 2012 Masters!
Your pushes and hooks are alerting me to a backswing or a downswing that is too much from the inside though so check out “match backswing to target” video.
Another great video Shawn. This all makes complete sense. As I attempt to change my long ingrained swing to release to the target, rather than to the ball, I believe I struggle with the consistency of the “timing” of my release. Muscle memory will revert my release to go early in the swing, then my closed face pulls the ball left. Do you see this with your students? To improve consistency in release, do I continue to practice the “release”, “throw to target” and “task” drills, or do you have other recommendations?
Good stuff! This is where “pre motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series” come in and really practice “goldie locks series” with your set up to develop an iron clad “predict contact” before you deliver! If you cannot predict contact or direction before you deliver your release, then you will default to the ball way more often than not.
Hi, is our target “cut the grass, tee, dandelion” or the target is where we want the ball to go to. For example, the 150 yard marker in the fairway? I see in multiple of your videos mentioned just focus on one thing. Now if I have to think about cut grass, and set the ball out to field, isn’t going to confuse the brain? Thanks
Great question, and you will see we answer this in a few videos too; you start with an END TARGET and then you choose a FLIGHT PLAN to get to that target. Then you choose an INTERMEDIATE POINT to help you line up AND DELIVER your task in the direction you want to start the ball. Once you have made your PREDICTION that the ball position, the distance to ball, the clubface angle and the posture levels are matching the shot, then you only have one thing left to do: LET MOMENTUM SWING THROUGH IN THE DIRECTION OF THE INTERMEDIATE POINT AND OUT WHERE YOU WANT TO START THE BALL. Your set up already matched the end target and your prediction already took care of ball contact and how it was to fly in the air.
See: “throw the club” and “predict contact” and the “goldie locks series”
