shawn , i ve been going to strong grip by turning my arms. so I ve gotta forget that and start turning my body like when ur skippp
ing a stone on water. wow!!
Yes, huge huh? Takes the uncomfortable torque out of the arms and gives you the correct amount of tilt and then all that is left is tweak the club face for the shot.
shawn , correct me if wrong savannah got her strong grip by twisting her arms ??. the new video strong grip weak grip showed u tilting upper body ,correct?
We are simply finding new ways to bring you the content through our everyday lessons; this is why I would never become a full time youtube guy because I would loose out on the lessons I need to learn to bring you these gold nuggets! Savy tilts too, we have always had this component. Sav’s grip used to be neutral when younger and she would have slappy fades like so many golfers with neutral grips. We just cranked it until it got draws and we created a monster! 😝
Shawn, my glove proves I’m guilty of the bird grip…heel and thumb holes on everyone…my problem swinging with the snug grip is TENSION that creeps up from my hands into my forearms and triceps and shoulders…hello hooks and pushes….how can I get the freedom and speed I used to feel with soft hands?
Hi Michael! Secure grip will stop at the forearms; leaving the shoulder sockets free to swing. See “backswing levitation” and “unstoppable momentum series”
Thanks Shawn for making such powerful content available.
I’ve been working with the axe drill, and I have to say it’s been transformational. For the first time, I’m hitting the ball solid and crisp, with a feel I’ve never experienced before. The arm-club unit feels stable and well-locked, and the top of the backswing is steeper and more connected, though it feels like a three-quarter swing—which I really like.
However, when I transition to my regular golf swing, I struggle to replicate that same top position. My swing gets flatter at the top, and the hinge becomes excessive. I’ve always had trouble with the takeaway and tend to cock the wrists early, which throws off the path.
Do you have any drills or video recommendations that could help me progressively transition from the axe drill into a full, flowing swing—while keeping that same feel and structure from the axe drill?
Thanks so much again—this one drill has already shifted how I understand and feel the golf swing.
Hey Shawn been recording my backswing and noticed I have a good hip turn but then don’t tend to get a good shoulder turn and it limits my depth. I have to really force myself to think about shoulder turn to change it. Any drills or tips to help getting a consistent full shoulder turn?
Hey Frank! See alignment reset; your eyes are playing tricks on you and you feel like you are going to block it right if you finish the backswing. Stay with the blur of club through the intermediate point. Feel like you have adequate momentum to whip the snot out of it in the direction you want to start the ball with ease!
Hi Shawn, love your videos. Why might it be that I can never hit a draw? A great shot from me goes straight or a slight fade. Not so good shot does a cut, specially with longer clubs. If I try too hard with closing the club face and keeping the ball back of center too much and direction of swing to the right of Target, mostly the shot goes haywire. Is there a mental model that can help with getting a draw? Thanks
Hi Asad! Before anything, make sure you see “alignment seload” and “alignment reset” videos; your eyes are constantly playing tricks on you from the side and you need to understand what to look for. Then, Another great way to hit the draw is with the “one leg drill” video and then go to the “diagonal stance series” and the draw video there. Enjoy!
Shawn
There is no way they can! Too fast for the eyes. You are simply letting momentum swing through the arc blur you preview seeing at address and you wait till you see the blur pass through the ball and intermediate point into the flight’s direction and then let the right shoulder bring the head up where the eyes can rejoin the ball in flight.
Hey Shawn, i’m having trouble with my woods and hyrides with a skipping a stone feeling> I tend to come down a bit steep and thump with my woods. Any tips for getting that more shallow stone skimming feeling?
1. Cause you can just read Savy’s face and feel the frustration. I hate it for her, but I KNOW IT SO WELL! It’s nice to relate and see that there can be progress.
2. I have, what I think, such a hard time releasing the club face. Not sure I finish my turn, hold the l face open, or a combo. I’m curious when your hands are passing through to your left thigh to center of body (left handed swing) is it supposed to feel like the bottom outside pad of my right hand is passing through the ball then releasing (milliseconds) or is it more of the back of my right glove hand?
Hey Rusty! Do the test with the “golf swing has 2 pendulums” series as well as the “jackknife series” when you do these in slow motion in the downswing until your left index finger gets past the ball. Also, in the last lesson we did together, you will notice that when you get to the point where the hands past the ball and then you let the second pendulum release in slow motion, you see the approach from the inside and downwards, and you will also notice your head cannot be in front of the ball when this is going on which centres the swing and anchors the release past the ball and into the flight plan. The ultimate COLLECT THE BALL FROM WHERE IT LIES and RELEASE THE BALL INTO THE FLIGHT PLAN.
There’s a short moment where Sav has the club in her right hand and is swinging it. It clicked off so many things for me! I went to the range and it brought together a bunch of elements – getting the ground, bracing, throwing the club and that feeling of the club releasing past the ball…… I really felt it with the driver and it is so awesome!!!! Now just have to get all this feels with two hands on the club and the ball in the way, lol.
Shawn, I tried this task this morning
It helps me to be more patient in transition.
I feel my arm club unit floating longer and then I’m able to pull it thanks to the clearing of my left side
Less effort with my arms, more lag
Can’t wait to show you this next month !
My 58 degree lob wedge. Full swing is 100 yards. 100 feet apex and 11 000 to 12 000 RPM backspin and about 1000 RPM left side spin for the draw. At 60 yards, the spin is about 8000 RPM
with this pitching technique of the 3rd type where you have fold and hinge what would be max distance you get out of 52 degree? i.e what distance do you just hit a full type shot where your going for full lag and less spin? what distance does your short game end and long game begin?
Hi Paul! Great question! The answer will come with Goldilocks! Do a practice swing that is way too soft, another that is way too strong, then find a nice in between. Confirm through prediction where each one would end up to sharpen the process.
Definitely a problem here, we did a major update on the site and this one definitely dis not go through. Come back in a couple days and we will get it back in here. Shawn
