With the driver it can mean the sole of the club staying “along the ground” through impact or in the case of the “jackknife drill” it would be the shaft of the club parallel to the ground coming into the delivery zone of the 2nd pendulum.

Good day! The key here is to predict what will happen to the ball when you release the action left of the IP. Everyone is different! If you release THROUGH to the direction of the flight and the ball stays that way 3 times in a row, then you can open the face a tad and if the ball starts too far right and fades too much then you need to close the face more at address. See “fade fine tuning and draw fine tuning videos. 😀👍

The “lead hand release”,” Important release update”; “Trail hand release” all can be done with a household hammer. Then add the legs with the “turbo charge lead hand and trail hand release “ Very solid practice!

Hey Bruce! Go with the lower tee option on the “driver for accuracy” video here in premium.

Thanks Shawn

I’m 64 and can barely get the club above my shoulders, of course I’m dealing with a non lead frozen shoulder.

Actually my lead shoulder, my right shoulder and I I golf left handed.

Hey James! You can’t see it, you have to feel where you need to be at the top of the backswing; it has to feel that if you were to let the arm-club unit fall from the top, that it would fall left of the IP into the direction you want to start the ball. What you would need to do is open the back foot more at address so that you can finish the turn in the backswing even if you can’t get the arms up enough like in this video.

Hi Arthur! Try now, should be fixed! Darn update from Vimeo! 🙄

Hey Arthur! The arrows at the bottom right work well on our end! 😀👍
Maybe your browser on your end?

Hey Paul! The kinetic chain pulls everything through. See “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” (#6 is my favourite!) we have another series on that about to break soon! 😀👍

Awesome, I’ll get right on it, thank you again.

Hey Shawn,
I did not understand your answer.
My main question is “where should the club face be pointing in the initial setup, regardless of the grip”?
In our lesson, I was pointing the face straight ahead with super strong grip. After watching the video, I think I should have had the driver facing to the left of intermediate target with a strong grip. Then, back off if it was drawing/hooking too much. Correct?

I can have a weak, strong or neutral grip with face pointing down the ball line or to the left of target.

Feeling foolish. I am not sure why I thought I should aim the clubface straight down the line to where I want the ball to end up and then try to swing to the left along the intermediate point. Trying to hard, I guess.

Hi James! Sorry for the tardy reply! See “draw fine tuning” and “the goldilocks series” in the grip and club face video. Everyone is different!

Hi James!
this is why we call it a grip-clubface relationship. See the “goldilocks series” on this topic as well as the draw fine tuning video”. What you see at address is not what will be at impact at all. It is merely a millisecond in time. When you allow momentum to flick the tee into a nice summersault into the direction you want to start the ball and stay that way into a full release, what is the ball flight? Then fine tune the grip and club relationship until you see the flight patterns you like. EVERYONE is different.

Hey Norm! Oh, it’s in there! I reference the throw as the base to getting all the way through the ball and when you throw the club AND DON’T LET GO, the club head snaps the trail hand over the lead hand and forces the lead arm to fold under the trail arm in a yielding action. This release is key for the brain to latch onto so that it can evolve and organize the ground forces to turbo charge this snap release action. So cool that you were able to figure that out on your own! A testament to the brilliance of the human anatomy when you let it work it’s magic! You sir are on the right track big time and please continue! 🔥💪👍

Hey Frank! Great to see you! Releasing AT THE BALL and letting the club catch up to the hands early will do that. See “two pendulum swing series” and “jackknife drill series” and you need a proper strong grip to deliver deeper through the ball so see “how to go from weak grip to strong grip” video and the “important release update” video

Hi Lyle!
no gauging! As the swing is the widest available with a very shallow angle of attack! Nice wide bottom…😀👍

Hey Paul! Ahh yes, the theorists!
Speed creates spin, and if you look at the 20-40-60 yard shot video, you will see how the arm anatomy is our guide to that. The 60 yard swing gives you speed, then you can use the 60 degree wedges or the 56 if you need more bounce to execute the shot with a more open face. The open face takes away distance but keeps a nice amount of spin.
