Still confused about the set up for this. Do you align first with the feet parallel to the target line or the line to the right edge of the shaft? Same with the face of the club, do you align the face to the target and if so how do you do that with a face that you close for a draw and a face that you open for a fade? Do you do this when you first set up and then what about the braced stance? doesn’t everything change again? I have looked at your beginner series and other videos and still not sure how to set up. Please cover this for me and not refer to other videos, because I have looked and can’t find a simple explanation. I think this could be covered better in the beginner series.

So much more powerful after doing this drill with my dominant trail hand. I was making the same mistake of not loading my trail arm. So I was only .using my weaker lead arm to play!

In this video, you talk about the circular movement. In my practice range session yesterday, I realized that this movement needs to start after a full turn and my back to the target, as I grip the ground. So, my tendency is to swing through to the target before going to grip the ground. So it seems that my focus needs to be…. grip the ground at the top of the backswing (levitation)…. then the circular movement to the release on the planted front foot. Do this make sense, as I think this through?

Since the last episode we can’t put the video in full screen. the option in the lower corner disappeared.

I can’t get it to go to full screen mode either

That move forward to start the swing with the knee is crucial to continue the feel of perpetual motion. Otherwise I’m back in a static position over the ball with out a started move and that creates more tension. I was trying to move the club forward over the ball before the back swing while it works it probably not ideal to not have the club down behind the ball. Or a Jason Dufner waggle where the back wing starts immediately when the club is placed behind the ball. Surprisingly it works but this seems more consistent. Love It!!

Hi Shawn,

I actually do my pitching like this as well (after watching all your videos), hardly any wrist hinge. I use 4 wedges: 60, 56, 50 and 45. 60 does a nice 50 yards, 56 does a nice 65 yards, 50 does a nice 80 yards and 45 does a nice 100 yards. No effort and no noticable wrist hinge as such, just simple perpetual motion to target. It’s very accurate, do you see any problems with that?

I can obviously shorten the yardages or lenghthen the yardages with each club with a little less effort or going down the grip a touch etc.

I noticed you were setting up at the low point and not the ball in your driver examples in this video which was 3-4” behind the ball. You probably explain this in future videos but I’m going chronologically…the driver is my least comfortable club…probably because I try to manipulate it.

Nope, no full screen here either

Shawn, cannot view in full screen in either Chrome or Edge (option does not exist) in firefox the option is there but it will not expand. Windows 10 ver. 2004.

Shawn, just adding to my previous comment on the video not expanding. It’s not just this one, it all the previous ones as well.

Hi,
Pardon me for this, but it’s nice to see somebody miss some shots and learning by errors. It seems so easy for you Shawn when you swing !

Shawn
Diagonal driver swing
Does takeaway go along target line (as if set up square )/??
Or along toe line which feels like bringing club too far inside ?
Trying to think about ball not being target ……..target is target
Thanks

Hi Shawn
On the chip shots is there still a head turn of 20 degrees after the initial setup? I seem to remember that this is the case from a previous video

Great video again… working through these PMD videos. It really improves contact and consistency. I noticed that Mu’s ball position is more forward in the stance for a 40-50 yard pitch. Is this for ball height? I would usually play this shot in the center or back of center. Thoughts?
