Hey Shawn, i am finding with my longer clubs (woods and hybrids) at times I keep my weight on my back foot when making contact. Any tips for getting the weight forward more on the longer clubs at impact?

Hi Shawn. Hope you’re doing well.

Can you comment on how this relates to the “recentering” move that is talked about all the time now.

Should I be actively “pushing” from the inside of my right foot during the second half of the backswing and during transition? I’m right handed.

Thanks for your help and I hope my question makes sense.

Hi Shawn,
I set up some Skis of my own and noticed that my front hip was very tight in the follow through. Thus, restricting arc through. Do you have any suggestions on how to loosen up that hip or should I just start doing some stretches on my own?

shawn ,the last 3 videos u made i cannot go full screen .there s not a full screen icon either the earlier videos are fine .what up?

Hi Shawn, I emailed you regarding the same thing Mark Sobel commented on. There is an improvement. Still no fullscreen on my computer. The video now takes up more of the screen. But still no fullscreen icon. A picture-in-picture icon is usually where the fullscreen icon is.

Also, the picture of you swinging now covers the first word of all the comments.

shawn the lower body starts back swing ,and starts down swing correct?

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!!

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?

Thanks Shawn, that was very clear and very inspiring.

Working perfectly now!!!!

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?

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?

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
