Use the little cog wheel in the bottom right to adjust the resolution and bring it lower to either 720 or 360 when the internet traffic is too busy in your area. NEVER FOCUS on the ball; the ball stays an intersection on the way to the target. See “blur of club” video for more on this and next week’s upload will have a fantastic update on that too. Shawn

Hey Dan! Distance comes from the quality of the throw or whipping action of the sword; there could be a few small things you do that are short circuiting the action.
1-you need a grip that will do a solid job of compressing and releasing-see the grip videos of course and the first video of the “consistency series”
2-you need to know how to throw the club well-see “throwing the club” and “club speed” videos on premium
3-you need a full backswing-no resistance-full turn and a solid release action-see “lead hand release” (does both) and “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning”
4-lastly; so many try too hard to keep the level in the swing and that is very detrimental to the speed and flow; if you have a solid task, (see task trumps everything) then things will fall into place-see “pumping up the swing” and “open the machine on course”
Let me know how things go in a couple weeks!

Thanks very much! I will definitely work through those videos on the range and get back to you. It’s amazing how much distance you and your students get without ( what looks like ) much effort at all! Meanwhile, I’m using everything I got, with inconsistent and weak results!

If your trail arm fires too soon the clubhead will bottom out too early. Focus on swinging your lead hand through the ball and into the follow through.

Hey Mitch! The feet together drill has a section in the video where we talk about the “catapult effect” of the return of the butt away from the target as a counter balancing self preserving act. This effect pulls the arms and club through the ball and takes the arms out of the equation. The other videos I would point you to would be the “kinetic chain series” and the “kinetic chain engagement series” which will continue to drive the point home that the human machine will falter when you focus on body parts and develop to it’s full potential when delivering a “self preserving task” to a specific direction.

Go to the ‘feet together drill” video and see where you bottom out with that one!

See The “great driver nugget” video later in the list; there is an important stance detail missing for driver draws that is quite key!!

Yeah man!

Yes!!! Please clamp down on that lead hand big time and enjoy! Moe talked about drawing blood in that lead hand!

Can’t wait to hear about it! I have so many examples of shots we just executed on the course this week with Savy and I that validate massively all the aspects of this video;

It is a great time for golf! 😀👍

Good stuff! We are getting into a whole new stratosphere because of the evolution away from positions and perfecting our tasks into our flight plans! So great to share this ride with you! 😀👍

See how awesome you understand this now?? I tell you man, I am still on the fence with your equipment; your shafts are too light on those cobras…you should go see the boys at TXG and just try out some irons and see what they recommend. I just tried the Callaway Epic Forged which is a monster; hit the 7 iron with easy swing at 210 yards consistently…my 4 iron is my 210 club…(I am staying with my blades still though…and yes, of course the lofts are beefed up to 27 degrees on the 7 iron but that packs quite the punch and the fun factor is wow…the new G-710 from Ping are spectacular too and Savy’s new irons are perfect where the Ping I blade stops at 7 iron and then she has 7 and 6 from G-710 and we just got her new shaft on the driver and yesterday afternoon in Phoenix, she drove the ball 305 and 315 respectively on 2 holes on the back nine…the shaft made a nice difference on that club for her and it’s because we were able to try them at Club Champion in January in Orlando.

Heck no!! The machete is a heavy sword that cannot be stopped once in action! 😀👍

That’s my go to swing thought too. However, sometimes I focus so much on slashing with the right side that I can feel my left arm not “getting out of the way.” I really like the swing about the head picture of how the momentum turns over the hands/arms together.

I shot 77 today in terribly cold and windy conditions.

1. Get behind ball and pick flight plan.
2. picture slash of heavy sword to cut through dandelion stem on a path toward target.

I mishit about 4 shots in the round. All fat…all caused by allowing strain to creep in an effort to try and hit the ball. . .relaxed cut through the stem with unstoppable momentum. That’s the picture.

Great video Shawn.

Did you see the “great driver nugget” video as well as the latest videos on the driver on youtube we just made??

Shawn – I agree that we need to set our brain to thinking about the task (cutting the dandelion). However, before we get to automatic…. it would seem that we need to start from some point of understanding to get to the top of the backswing, to maintain balance while making a full turn. It seems that… If I don’t focus on my feet action and ground forces to start the swing…. I miss a full turn and the machine falls apart. What might I be missing?

Have you spent some solid time cutting grass in both directions like in the “grass whip training” video on premium?

Ah. I have not done that. I’ll start working through that series now. Thanks.

Never try to make things pause; the pause comes from you not dighting the momentum of the swing. See “anti-manipulation” video on premium.

Would love to see where this is written….

I got it from Mike Bender who reccomends hitting balls with no follow through as a dril, Don’t get me wrong – I am one of your disciples.l

Ok, good! What is the context and what is the purpose of the drill?

I guess training a good impact position and perhaps helping to transfer energy into the release as the hips stop turning, and perhaps physically training the legs to cope with the stress as the club goes forward at high speed as the body stays back.
