Homework done Shawn. Watched Anti-Manipulation and this one here. Looking forward to tonight’s practice session. Question about grip pressure….I know that this matters.

What would you say your grip pressure is out of 10? Does your grip pressure change depending on the shot or does it remain quite consistent?

I’ll let you know how it goes tonight. Thanks man.

This is massively helpful! As one who has fought a slice for several decades 🙂 and, following your instructional videos am finally hitting a draw much of the time, it seems this may explain why I feel like I’m set up square with the driver, yet still get anything from a fade to a hard slice, depending on the club face at impact. Would you think that could be the cause (that is, I need to be sure the face is closed enough, plus close my stance a bit more)?

As to the clubface, is there a rule of thumb for how closed it should be to hit a draw? I use a strong grip (at least 3 knuckles showing, and sometimes 4 – much like your recent YouTube videos with Savy).

Thanks Shawn!

Please explain what you did differently that made the draw pitch grabby versus soft. I can’t seem to pull off the low spinning, quick-stopping short approach shot. How do you increase velocity to achieve the extra spin without hitting shot too far?

Hi Shawn: great video. Watching your swing in slow motion is impressive. I’ve tried being deliberate about hesitating at the top but it gives me the sense of being out of balance. Did you say that you were going to be doing a session on incorporating this into our swing? Any quick ideas?

Shawn are seniors badly served by using light weight clubs. From what I can see in your swing, a heavier club may engender more feel. Light may not be right. Your thoughts. I loved this video–nothing about wrist cock–just let the weight of the club set the wrists and throw the club down the fairway.As Knudson said “give up control to gain control”

Really important to have slow motion portions in 2 views in your videos and closeups when applicable. Also includes Savannah videos while you explain. Thanks

great slow motion shots very helpful to see position at impact and motion of swing

IM really into the feel of the club in my practice swings. But when it time to bend over and chip the ball for real on an uneven slope or any slope for that matter it all goes out the door. Even one step more this aberration can happen to all my golf swings. From driver to the pitching wedge. Help!

Great video! How much tension is in each arm? You look totally relaxed. If you have mentioned it before I apologize for not catching it. Maybe a little more in the lead arm and hand? Thanks again for all your hard work and videos. Mike H.

hi Shawn….golf …yoga….meditation….very wonderful holistic approach…. that gives me so great pleasure for an elegant swing (over 50 sure and for me over 70 years old) thanks so much for this Shawn…I wish you and all your family( and wisdom in golf team), a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2020….kinds regards..JJL

Awesome, thank you Jean Jacques! And to you and your family as well!!
Shawn

Shawn, in the down the line view it looks like your stance is slightly closed. This was the draw setup. I try to align straight but aim right with ball slightly back for draw and align left to hit left with ball slightly forward for fade. I will review stances but have you revised what is optimal alignment for Fade/ Draw? Merry Christmas btw to you and the family.

So sidehill, below feet, you had a slightly open stance and side hill above feet, your stance was square to the target line, is that correct? Man, you sure make it look simple, great job! Thank again, Mike H. P.S. Received your response on my swing video and watched the videos you suggested, wow!!! Immediately went out to the “golf lab” and the feel and results were wonderful, even the sound was totally different( much louder)! Also, closing my eyes during the drills enhanced the feeling even deeper which made it easier to recall the feeling I wanted in my pre shot routine. Amazing! I’ve been playing 49 years and still learning. Great game and thanks so much for the knowledge and insight you have to offer. Merry Christmas to you and your’s.

Hey Shawn – your system is the best. Observation: I hit my irons very straight and far, but not always with the woods. Every once in a while though with the 3W and driver I will hit an absolute rocket, sometimes gaining 40 or even 50 yards over my average hit. I think it is the result of 1. full turn, 2. thinking only of the target. So, I know the power is in the body there somewhere, but have not figured out how to be consistent with it yet. I try to duplicate those feels/focus each time but have not been able to yet.

Merry Christmas Doctor Voodoo. Looking forward to the next in this series. Would like to see slomo videos that loop a few times.
