Shawn, comparing your swing to Savy, I see in your completed backswing your arms are more parallel to the ground. Savy’s arms and shoulder turn reach more above her head. Your elbows show less bend while Savy’s elbow bend is more pronounced. I assume both are correct, what’s the difference? Is there a video illustration of each approach?
If you were to compare my left handed swing with hers, it would look a bit different too; she is on her backhand and I am on my forehand. I am very envious of her width though! 😀👍😝
I was experimenting with arm lock putting and kind of liking how it makes me more aware of moving the APU. I came across a YouTube video on putting grip and technique where you advocate this for some of your students. Do you still like this style of putting? Other than feel and practice how do I know if it is right for me? Do you think Bettinardi is still the best model for this. I have always used center shafted putters and they don’t make a center shaft. Thank you in advance for your reply..
If you cannot feel the putter swinging from the shoulders down with either a stock double overlapping grip or a cross handed lead hand low grip, and still feel too much wiggle in the wrists or a propensity to control the putter from the hands, then the arm-lock is the way to go and the Bettinardi is still the one that is best designed and proven. It’s either that or switch sides and see how the other stroke feels! 😀👍
Every time I go to a simulator now, I drop a ball 3 paces forward + 1 pace right of the tee — and use all momentum to try to aim for that target while knowing the low point of my swing. Thank you, Shawn and Sav…
this video, along with the prediction series (for me the balance video really helped me lock in) have really helped me hold onto the “feel” of what I’m supposed to be doing.
When I start to have issues, is when I have a hard time focusing and remembering how to “See” or “feel” the shot. Unstoppable momentum has really helped me remember how to engage. It also helps me not take too big of a backswing. A truly great analogy.
Great stuff Kevin!
We have a nice 4 video line up on the slopes starting this week with uphill shots; imagine now how we can use unstoppable momentum in every shot situation now! 😀👍
hello Shawn, I am truly enjoying your premium membership. I’m looking at your contact video and feel that I understand almost all of your points and could put them into action (does not mean I CAN DO THEM just feel like I could), Having said that and watching this video I see that starting the down swing; the right elbow goes down and in front etc.. Do you let go of the club so that it goes vertical or do you keep an angle and continue the swing until you are in the other side and release the club. I am having trouble visualizing what happens when the club returns to the horizontal position and thru impact. Help. THANKS
Thanks for your answer. However, it did not provide the answer I was looking for; also, one needs to ask the right question in order to get the correct answer. I watched a video titled “Eagle session with Savy-getting better AOA and lag. It answer my question to perfection. Thanks for your prompt response.
Hi Maggie!
This is not a statement to be impolite, because I care big time, but to focus on what you are talking about is sabotage to the machine on an epic scale. See the “throwing the club” video, about mid way on the list of videos on premium, my favourite, and please find an area to do this safely and use some clubs with steel shafts and not graphite, as the graphite shafts break very easily. Then after throwing to a few to the target, take a video of your swing face on and see what that looks like when your club goes out towards the target. You will be floored and amazed that your body finds all the correct positions magically on it’s own! 😀👍
Then see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” to predict properly.
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.
Hi Morley!
Here are the videos you want to watch on premium for this:
1-predict contact
2-the goldie locks series
3-fade fine tuning
4-draw fine tuning
Enjoy!
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!
We all live in the same house dw! We travel in the same car, work out in our home gym, take walks and eat all our meals together. We are very lucky! We are big time practicing our distances with everyone else.
