Hi Shawn – this video and the pull versus push sensation really clicked with me and has resulted in a lot better shots releasing towards the target.

Is there a specific task you recommend thinking about to get the pull sensation/left hand on top of the right/left shoulder higher than the right? I’m having a hard time doing it without thinking positionally. Any other videos you’d suggest?

Thanks!

I am rather new to premium and do not understand the last new videos very well.
Could you please tell me what videos to watch as a beginner ?
Is there a series of videos for beginners or a plan what to watch first, then second and so on?
Thank you
Tom

Love all the common sense “goldilocks” adjustments you go through to ensure the best chances for the shot to come off as planned. It also allows the mind and body to be less anxious about the outcome and swing “with ease” as you say. Thanks!

Shawn, Please clarify a few things for me about the alignment and setup: Are your shoulders parallel to your feet line? Do you plan your swing path to match your shoulder line or feet line? Do you ever set up with the clubface square to the swing path? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Shawn, I didn’t understand this video. I heard you say you planned a high shot, I saw you hit a high shot, but except for tee height with driver, I don’t understand what you are doing exactly. Less forward lean on club? Longer “grass cut”? Just ball position? Not clear to me. Thanks.

Hi Shawn. Nice video. Working on driver with Rob at RHGC tonight. Trying to play consistent fade. I’m struggling with impact location. Very much back 1/2 of the club face no matter whether I’m set up close to the ball or a club head off the ball at address. . T is off the left heel. I think I’m using too much effort and too much throw to the left. Thoughts? Cheers. J.

Shawn,
Just to clarify, the intermediate point (IP) is always in line with where you want the ball to land—(the target) right? And How far left or right of the IP to Visualize throwing the club to with a corresponding more closed or less closed club face depends on how much draw or fade you want to use to shape the shot. Correct? Do you ever consciously try to throw the club right over the IP for a straight a shot as possible?

Shawn, excellent video, I wish I would have viewed it first. Just one more questions; When you look down at the clubface at setup, is it actually hooded for a draw and hooded less for a fade? Thanks Ron

Great video – just like my range practise – high low fade and draw – the height you throw set sets the TILT. Did I miss the flop shots?

Shawn, great video. Watched a video from you a while back. It’s where you were indoors hitting the ball and then a penny in front with the same swing to ingrain hitting toward target. Do you recall the name of that video.
Thanks

Hi, thank you for your advices. Realy helpful, straigh-forward, simple and insightful.
As a high handicaper I am facing the following problem and I would like to hear your opinion.
When I make practice swings everything looks and feels alright. But if I put a ball down, muscles start contracting, body stops turning, hand are rushing and the stoke is poor. It seems like a primal fear of impact. The brain knows that impact with the ball might hurt and it does everything it can to avoid it. No matter how slowly I try to swing, if there is a ball there, I rush it and get out of sync. Do you have any insight on how should this kind of problem (which I am sure many beginners have) may be addresed. Thank you!

Shawn, I think I have full understanding on how to work the ball now, except for one question; when you FADE the ball, during the setup do you get “behind the ball” like you do when you DRAW the ball?
Thank you, Ron.
P.S. Your methods support the feels I have when I hit a great shot.

Hi shawn, do you close your club face at adress and when you take your grip or do you leave it square?

Great video, Shawn. I know the focus was on difficult lies, but I’m thinking the mental image of wood shaving would also work very well for fairway woods on good surfaces. Can’t wait to try my 3 wood!

Well exactly!! Well done!!
