Absolutely, generally speaking a draw will always have less backspin than a fade. I actually found it easier to hit the ball straighter/with a slight draw with the Srixon iron that Ian recommended, so I’m sure that was a factor in reducing the spin numbers in addition to the different clubhead and shaft.

Right on Mo! Exactly right!
Not only do you have a backswing that “appears” to be shorter because of the tilt required to deliver to the target vs delivering towards the ball, you get to use the ground and engage the MAGIC KINETIC CHAIN which loads the ground and catapults the arm club unit through the impact zone and DEEP into the target when you focus on throwing the club; and the bonus is that the brain will never overdo or underdo the backswing when you throw without thinking!

Exactly; you must re-grip; if you don’t you have not changed a thing!

After you regrip, do you rotate your wrists and address the ball with a square clubface or do you address the ball with the clubface aimed to the left? Thanks!

You can do either-or a bit of both; does mot matter because when you whip through to the target ot all changes!

Sorry for the duplicate, I did not see it show up so I added it again 🙂

Hi Harley;
Sorry for the delay; lost my Ipad and had to get another this weekend; long story!
If she is showing you positions to hit, run! We are completely NOT MADE TO KNOW WHERE OUR BODY PARTS ARE. WE ARE TASK BASED MACHINES!
If you look at my “throwing the club” video on the regular channel on youtube, which is the “club speed” video on premium and you go find a nice SAFE PLACE TO DO THIS, you will see that your weight shift and body rotation will come all by itself like MAGIC!! Without thinking!!

Thank you!🙂

Shawn, your teaching is the best. After plalying for over 50 years and watching way too many videios of other teachers and reading many golf books, I settled on your teaching over the winter here in Ohio. I then purchased the premium subscription. It is well done and have helped me immensely. I have increased my driver distance by 30 yards just by studying the backswing lessons…elevating a little more and going back a little farther. I no longer watch golf channel or read any books except Anatomy of Greatness.

One question about the book., should we try to apply the “stretch – shortening cycle ” ?

Thanks again for your fantastic teaching…I wish you were in the states so I could attend your school !

Elio from the HOF city !

Thank you Dr JJ! The greatest form of validation is when we get Medical Doctors like you with the best Anatomical background which stems from a deep seeded way of studying anatomy; your mind can see the perfect harmony between this task of golf and how the human body was made and the human brain was wired to use this body. MASSIVELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO NAVIGATE THIS SEA OF RIDICULOUS OBSTACLES that the golf industry keeps throwing at us. You could say Wisdom in Golf is a shield in a huge tomato fight! 😝😜😀. LA TOMATINA!

Hi Harley; are you talking about the “rotary swing”?

I THINK SO. THE EMPHASIS IS ON LOWER HIPS REALLY TURNING WITH MORE OF AN UPPER BODY TURN AND HIT FOLLOWING. UPPER BODY IS FAIRLY OPEN AT IMPACT. THANKS AS USUAL. HARLEY.

let me make a video of this for you Harvey; rotary swing is still a positional and resisting lower body in the backswing and what you describe is still something that nobody needs to think about during a task based motion to a target;
Shawn

Okay, it’s getting easier to stay on task. By cutting Dandelions toward my intermediate target, I can trust my mechanics and better control the path of my swing.

But it’s sooo hard! I keep defaulting back to controlling my body movements instead of focusing on tasks.

That is just it! You guys are my immediate representatives and if you don’t shine, we don’t shine.
Shine on!! 😀👍

Hi Kevin!
The deal in the book is this: FINALLY, someone is noticing what I noticed and confirmed 25 flipping years ago; the problem is that Brandel is STILL FUMBLING AROUND TALKING ABOUT BODY POSITIONS instead of understanding how the brain is wired for tasks to deliver the correct body positions;
This is his opinion being delivered as to what his eye sees and is an interpretation of what is going on; the best video to see how the body performs what you are talking about here is the “walk to a better swing” on the regular youtube channel and “walking and swinging” video in the premium channel; once you have performed this action, after a bit (or a lot) of practice, you will get to see how brainless this action of loading and shifting the weight is! 👍😀😝

Hi Gordon!
We have a whole line up of videos we want to make at Ian’s place; just a treasure trove of information!
Shawn

I would definitely recommend that Jeremy; would love to see how all your tools line up; your irons are a bit questionable as to the fit; but it looks like the woods are pretty good right now; I would start with an iron fitting and see what he recommends!
