When you say” a tad in front of center” or” a tad behind center” just how much is a tad? Center being center of your body which should be the bottom of your swing Correct? Any tricks or mental notes to keep “the tad” distance consistent. Really love your teaching. I went from 22 handicap to a 11 last year. I had a terrible battle with (dare I say It) the shanks . If I see that the bottom of the swing is not where it should be lets say 2 inches behind center as it often is . What is the common problem that causes this. I tell everyone I golf with to go to your YouTube channel. Keep up the excellent work. If I win the lottery I am definitely going to Quebec for a personal lesson if that would be possible.

Mu needs some jumbo sized grip, I can see his fingers going twice around the club 🙂

This is such a good explanation

Not about the content ( is always great). Just a recommendation. Your golf channel academy graphic would look better going From Right to left. Seeing the peacock then reading the words. Just started a thought

See if I got this right 🙂
1. I take an intermediate point 3 feet away from the ball in line with the end target.
2. I decide what ballflight I want
3. If draw I play the ball further back in the stance and swinging slightly right of the intermediate point
4. If fade I play the ball forward of center and open up the club face slightly and swing in a direction slightly left of the intermediate point.

All good?

So I don’t align my feet to the target but to the line I want to swing my club.

All the best and keep up the amazing videos coming from you and Savy!

What about social distancing?

struggling a little regarding aim/alignment.
Do you aim (intermediate point) where you want the ball to start (meaning feet and swing points in that direction) or where you want the ball to land?

I hear Faldo preaching a”quiet lower body and a “level head” all the time and it makes my back hurt. Most all the pundit agree to agree that this is correct and certain position must be achieved in order to have a functional golf swing. Tried ever theory since 1969 and all it got me was occasional good golf which ultimately deteriorated as I became more fixated on the ball and my backswing. Your insights and teaching philosophy has renewed my game and my aching back to the point where I think I can actually improve at my age(70). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge,it’s been a great journey.

Thank you Shauna. This video has helped me immensely. I haven’t been hitting the ball crisply but cutting through the grass and focusing on a blade of grass behind the ball made all the difference. Can you recommend any other videos that would help with a sweet, centred connection at impact. I have a lot of free time to practise (I am on a farm) which is great. Kind regards Amanda

With the feet together drill, should club face be closed,? It appears to be square or open in video. Thanks!

Hi Shawn, this is my first comment/question. While watching this weight shift video with you and Savy, I picked up something new for me. I’ve always had trouble with Perpetual M. drill.. always seemed awkward.
This time I stayed centered and the weight shift was completely natural. The foot plant comes with out thinking. Hope to confirm this at the range tomorrow. Thanks!

Grasswhip training is always fun! 🙂 Why you want do that sword drill differently than grasswhip? I mean with sword you have superstrong grip and wrist release/rolling is well AFTER impact. With grasswhip grip is neutral or slightly stronger and you have to square/ roll BEFORE impact. Otherwise blade would be wide open and you would cut with heel.

Shawn, so when you transitioned from the downhill shot to the shot on a flat lie while still wishing to hit a low shot, do you want to feel more weight on the front or lead leg. For a normal shot, you’d be more like 60/40 front/rear leg so for a low shot would you want to go more like 70/30 keeping the low point in front of the ball?

My wife is wondering what Sav has been doing to get in shape? She looks really toned! This old man could use some tips Sav!!😊😊

Shawn – What happens if you turn that box 45 degrees. I played a course in Nevada that had hills lining the left and right rough. Nice if your ball rolls off the hill back toward the fairway but not so nice if it stays on the hill part way up/down. If you have a side hill lie but you are off the right edge of the fairway then your target direction is say 30 degrees back to the target and one foot is above the other.

What I tried to do was make some practice swings parallel to my line until I caught a sufficient part of the grass then tiptoed up to the ball. As I recall I hit one pretty good but it was a bit in the toe and the other was a dribbler down the hill. How does your brain figure that equation out?
