None at all! It is the engagement of the kinetic chain that is the most important! See “how to use the weight in the swing-axe drill with Savy” and the “kinetic chain series” followed by “throw the club” and “the throwing series”
That slow backswing of yours has a great home here!! 😀👍

Oh, forgot!! See “arm motion fine tuning” too on premium, start with that!

Thanks for the reply. I apologise for not noticing till now. Watched the videos you suggested and incorporated it, not massively changed but the elbow isn’t welded into my side anymore, the driver is closer than the wedge which I presume is to do with the driver being on a flatter plane than the wedge. Saying that my carry distance has increased so all good. Thanks

Good stuff! Keep throwing and use a nice “unstoppable momentum” to throw with!

See “arm swing vs body turn” and then see “the football drill series” all on premium! 😀😀

This is where you need to learn the “OPEN FACED CHIP SHOT”
You need a good “LOB WEDGE” with 60 degrees of loft and maximum 8 degrees of bounce and a sole grind that matches the “TS” wedge from Ping or the “C GRIND” sole of Callaway or the “M Grind” of Vokey.
Then see my chipping video on premium, the most complete!

Thank you very much shawn.
I enjoy every video from you.
The videos with savanna and munashe are terrific too.

All you need to do is close the face of the club more! The vast majority of my early students cannot believe how closed the face needs to be and when they see it at address, they think OMG, hook city! Then they whip THROUGH the ball and into the direction they want to start the ball and their jaw drops; “ how come no hook?” Because they are not DYNAMIC in their thinking yet! See the first video in the “consistency series” and do what I do with the club head and also see the latest “historic” grip session we did with Savy and Mu!

Ok, great! Thanks for the input, I’ll work on this. And for the fade, I’ve noticed your videos on opening the clubface juts a bit more but grip stays the same, and alignment and swing direction are slight left.

I’d love to come up and take a lesson sometime. I live out in San Diego but grew up in Maine so not that far from you in Canada. I’m home often visiting so I could scoot over to your neighborhood sometime :).

Cheers,

Nate

No, you want to have a more open face because we are not loading the arm-club unit like in the full swing! See the original chipping video earlier in the list! Shawn

Yessir! “Pumping up the swing”

See “matching task to targets” videos; it’s the one where we talk about sending peels! 😀👍

Yes! When the greens are huge you need it!

Shawn
Even if you use a 8 iron or lower for a bump and run shot?
Ron

Because of the loft and the lack of speed; if you did the same thing with the driver, yes, it would scoot to the right big time!

I have a couple of videos for this on youtube: see “no more collapsing arms shawn clement” and “stop letting go shawn clement” as well as “stop destroying your glove shawn clement”
Let me know what does the trick for you!
Shawn

Hey Rich! Sorry I missed this one! See “knife the grip shawn clement” on youtube and you will understand this super clearly!

Oh yes!
‘Predict contact” and “goldie locks series” is where to start and confirm the predictions without which, you will continue to have your issues. Then see “pre motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series” for a more in depth dive towards the “flow state of golf” 😀👍

I just answered that question in the “trail hand release” video and here is the answer: also make sure you see the “throwing series” with driver called hammer throw to have the proper set up.
‘It simply means you still have an open face dynamically. Just had a lesson last night where my student was delivering nice draws with irons and then when the woods came, he was slicing. Because the Centre of Gravity and the Centre of Mass is different, AND THE FACE is round instead of flat, many factors change for the eyes. He was using a much weaker grip and a much more open face than with his irons and when I had his close the face just enough to go with a nice draw, which the GC Quad told us after it was 0.3 degrees closed at impact, he thought it was 30 degrees more closed than his irons.
So, close the face 30 more degrees, deliver your “arc blur” through the tip of tee on the way up and in the direction of the intermediate point and out into the picture AND SEE HOW IT FLIES. Do a serious goldie locks with it and really let it go and see what the shot looks like WHEN YOU STAY ON TASK. Enjoy!“

I’m having the exact issue, I have a natural tendency to draw the ball but with this new swing when I miss it’s a hard push right. Definitely feel my hands in front of the club. I do close the face a touch at address.

Just answered the comment on the driver, have a look!

See “club speed” video and watch how much fun it is to throw on different heights! 😀👍
Then see “the throwing series” from short stop throwing to javelin and football throwing to hammer throwing!

I don’t feel the need to use it although many enjoy it! Anything to help you read the greens is very good in my book because that is the most important. There is no need to practice a putting stroke, only to practice rolling the ball into pictures with momentum and not manipulation.
