You bet Richard! The release is what prevents the ball from sliding off the end of the face and therefore get compressed by obligation! 😀👍

Hey Rick! Great feedback!
Chipping with feet together is very effective; ball outside the back foot for positioning.
As for irons; the key is to be able to make a prediction for contact!
See “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” then see “pre motor cortex series”

So, you have a task, you throw the release in the direction you want to start the ball and you need to be very familiar with this feel! See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning”
Then predict the dandelion stem is in the way of this release and then stay with the feel of that release past the ball!

Well, it sounds like you are feeling what you need to; however, stay away from perceptions of what the body is doing and just feel that you are in a nice position to throw the club with ease and a nice velocity in the direction you want to start the ball.

Definitely not what you think it is!
What you are describing is a loss of focus from a distraction where you perceive you are out of position.
When this happens ask these questions:
What was the original focus? What was the last thing that went through my mind before I swung?
Did I stay with my task? And if not, what is preventing me from staying with it?

So here are the priorities:
1-you need to be a master of a task; see “top 3 tasks”
2-you need to feel what those tasks do “POST IMPACT” and they are all the same release;
3-predict contact and direction from the task
4-stay on task for the duration of the shot and wake up in the finish well past impact and see what just happened-no making sure

This question is great, because it tells me I should do a video of what to do when you feel lost and how to use the premium channel more effectively to get to your next level; so thank you!😀👍

SIDE VISION!! Why do you think the over head throw always hits the mark and the side throw starts left? EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THIS! See ALIGNMENT RELOAD video on premium! 👍😀

Whoa! You are putting too much into this.
1-Your anatomy, arm and shoulder, is perfectly designed to find the correct swing plane
2-please see the “kinetic chain” series of 7 videos and “kinetic chain engagement” video on premium; it is the whole chain that pulls the club head through.
Imagine a lumber jack with an axe; no laser pointers necessary. You could have fun with the Perpetual motion drill as you cut grass in both directions and observe how the laser keeps passing in the same place by simply staying on the task of cutting grass! 🤓

Ah! Thanks for the readjustment. The analytical engineer in me needs to get off the course (ha). I went through the kinetic chain series, but I’ll go back to revisit it once again. Thanks for your help and the quick reply.

Right on Joe! You did it! You felt the difference in the one leg drill and was able to plug it into the golf swing!
😀👍🔥💥💪🤛

Depends on the markers position on the club; sometimes it may look low but it’s not. That could have been a thin shot yes, but she always goes back to the prediction process for the next shot and does not try to fix it.

Not quite the way to go about it; see the “upward levitation” video we did more recently; when performing the Perpetual motion drill, as you naturally turn to get out of the way of the swing of the arms, the arms get PULLED AWAY from the body and you are just letting them create their own width.
What engages them further is when you are getting the system ready to sling the action and release into the direction you want to start the ball.

Got it. Thanks, Shawn

Got it right here BTW! FOUND IT!

I knew I had done one! 😝😝

Lol Shawn, I’ve actually seen it and totally forgot. 😁 Thanks for finding it 👍. Kyle has a on course vlog where he plays and comments on it. Maybe you can do a part 2 😉

We could do a little somethin on youtube!

Great

Neutral grip with slightly open face; we are not trying to compress it and the loft used will mot affect direction. Sole of club needs a bit of bounce because of less force going through the ground and turn too.

Wow. This really helped, Shawn. A Big Thanks. Just one evening working on this and it made a big difference. The key for me is keeping the ACU connected and letting the arm all and flow through the swing.

Regards,
Dave

Yes, your last post was good! 😀👍

Thanks, Shawn!

What you mean by keeping the ACU connected is keeping it’s formation and not letting it change from a lower case y to a j right? You are not trying to chip with head covers stuck under the arm pits I hope…😝

Oh yes, not using any head covers… really focusing on the takeaway from the core with no wrist bend, club manipulation, and keeping the solar plexus and hands in line… bump to the top and let it fall through the shot with a good grip and pressure to cut the dandelion. Is this right idea?

Oohh yes! Any chip shot we talk about is a bump and run 90% of the time unless it is an open faced chip;
Pre-shot routine is huge and is present on all shots on course; all working the ball videos;
1-flight plan
2-intermediate point
3-predict contact based on your action to target (see predict contact video and goldie locks series)
4-what was that feel again? (see pre-motor cortex series)
5-deliver your task, stay with it, and see what happens (target confirmation series)

If I do a bump and run with a 6 iron using a chip technique, would it be best to keep the club face flush with the target, or slightly open?

Excellent! Thanks much, Shawn!

Camera angle and completely not important; you should never need to think about straight or not.
Shawn

It will feel like 60-40 in favour of the lead side; don’t fall into the trap of thinking about where the weight needs to go during the swing; see “the walking drill” on premium; practice this a bit and then film yourself doing the drill and see for yourself! 😀👍

1-Is your momentum moving towards the intermediate point?
2-is the ball RIGHT BACK in the middle of the right foot
3-do you see the blur of the club as it passes in front of you in the practice swings?

Thanks for the quick reply. So, on the first question…. I bump the club to create the path to the target and let the club fall and avoid manipulation. I see the blur on the practice swing, and play the ball off the right toe. Is that too far back? I tried a slightly open stance, but that doesn’t seem to affect the contact.

Why don’t we just do a skype session? Take care of this in a half hour for good!

Great news, Shawn. Worked through this video again in the practice area. I realized my issue…. I was keeping my weight forward, moving into the backswing, but I was coming through the ball, I wasn’t allowing my hips to get out of the way. A very small thing can cause a major collapse. Played this morning after my first full week back on the WIG system and shot an 87. My chips were spot on, leaving me with many simple one putts. Thanks for all your help and this great system. I am still going to get a Skype session this summer. Take care.

Get me a face on and a down the line clip of your chip;
Email it to [email protected] so it gets to me properly. We will schedule something then.
Shawn

Good idea! Where do I go on the site to set that up and get it in the schedule?
