Shawn,

I have noticed your hands do not cross between the shoulder and upper bicep but above or right over the shoulder, ( when viewing from behind ) but other times like when you talk about tucking the trail a against your pec
it does? Should my hands get deeper behind the shoulder as opposed to straight back and wide? How can you tell if you are taking the club too far back? I am trying to limit my back swing for more consistency

I tee my ball fairly high but nowhere near the height of the tees you are using. I understand that you want a good positive angle of attack. Is there an advantage to using the super high tees if you hover the club a few inches off the ground? I think that you could get the same angle using a shorter tee with the club starting at ground level? You also mentioned that the higher tee height really benefits the draw, why?

So what is the proper order? stand straight at address, grip the club at a 45 degree (closed) position, then adjust the stance so that the clubface is squared to the ball?

Hi Shawn, this was a really interesting video. It seems like you make a very small adjustment to hit the fade. I cannot for the life of me hit a proper fade–everything is a draw. If I try to hit a fade, I tend to swing with a pronounced out-to-in shape & the ball starts right and curves way right (and my swing feels out of sync).

Hitting only draws gets me in trouble on some par 3s where the tee box is on the right (with trees down the right), or even dogleg right holes with the driver. I tend to over draw the ball in those cases.

What is the best video to learn how to hit a fade? Or should I just stick to the draw and keep refining it and make that my sole shot shape? Thanks!

this video is a repeat post on this series

why do you pause at the top of your backswing?

This is a perfect summary of the lesson we had a couple days ago! Love it! Thanks Shawn!

hi shawn! great video and i love this drill. however, there are times when i try to execute this drill and get my hands “ahead” of ball before i release, i tend to “hold on” to the club and this results in a push.

is there a way i can prevent myself from overdoing this?

Is it good idea to use this same setting for football or battering ram drill?

My cross to bear here is the fact that you call out a few potential faults of mine. 😂 I know that I struggle to stay with the task when there is something in my peripheral vision that makes me feel threatened. I am occasionally cursed with pull hooks/draws. At first it was everything in the bag, but mostly plaguing my woods and driver now. Maybe the woods and driver just magnify the problem. Another suspicion is swaying with my driver. What you described in this video is all too familiar, since I tend to lose balance in the follow through with my driver. I typically assume that it’s because I’m trying too hard rather than letting the club do the work, but this could be a factor, too. Which in attempt to remedy that, I might not be getting enough turn. All of this you’ve probably noticed in my swing video. Swing changes are tough, but this program has yielded the best results and I’m going to stick with it. I’ve had some highs and lows, but I’ve had a couple personal bests this year.

I look forward to hearing your comments on my swing video.

Man! I could kick myself for the things I take for granted. I’ve spent a lot of time on my grip over the years and when I went through this video months ago, I completely over looked the trail hand grip described in this video. The benefit that detail has in closing the club face is amazing. As much as I dislike making grip changes, this was a game changer, literally. It’s going to take some time to get comfortable enough with this grip to grip the club without looking, but watching this before the round I played today was helpful to say the least. This is a facepalm moment for me. I am only making this comment for future watchers of this video. Pay close attention to the details. It pays off.

shawn I have a link to something u might find interesting about u throwin the club. https://youtu.be/o6aVCqDRK94?si=blF8D4aChoZu6J5f. this is youtube video of jackie Burke. and old pro throwing clubs

Hi Shawn,
Im just about done with your premium sessions, everything has really helped me make better contact with the ball. The one issue Im still having is getting consistent/long distance with my clubs. for example, my 7i is still only going about 150y, 4i 170, driver 160-200y.
Not sure exactly what Im still doing wrong, but even when I pure the ball and it goes perfectly straight i’m still not getting those distances you are with just swinging so easy.
(ive tried slowing my swing down as well, but that didnt seem to help).

Any thoughts???

(ps, my biggest mis-hit front the start, and to this day is chunking the ball. I even tried standing on my left leg and I still have issues with it, haha)
