Been nuttin the ball with square stance and throwing at picture. Im tryin the diagonal stance now. It feels almost like stack n tilt? My body wants to stay over left foot? When I throw towards picture I ultimately come way over the top and my follow through looks like I left my lower body just stay where it was at address? Should I just stay with square stance?

There was another video where you showed the proper trail hand release. You were swinging the club one handed to show the proper release with the trail side arm. Can’t find that video. It showed me how much power I have taken out of my swing from being told I needed to be lead side dominant. I want to see it again to get that right trail hand snap. Thank you

That double crossed shot was because you were hitting it so good your brain wanted to hit it a little bit harder.

Can’t wait for next week – I have been drawing the driver using the diagnol stance now for over 2 months – WOW what a difference. Great work Shawn.

williamCrowe, I have had a similar issue; might I suggest you look at Shawn’s Moe Norman video? Throwing the club up to the target in the clouds has helped me overcome this problem and stay behind the ball.

Mr. Clement – What is your opinion of the Victor Hovland “Double Pump” Driver Swing to draw the ball and maximize his distance?

Coming back to this video as I was looking for anti-sway concepts for my wife. This is excellent for fixing that common problem. Recently I started adding the “pre-turn” to my own driver setup and it really works great. Thanks again.

Hey Shawn do we need to leave a comment here for the contest?

This is the one that has done it for me .Putting my head in the right position and my backswing on the correct path which also allowing me to drop the club in the slot without manipulation.My drives are 40-50 yards longer and go where generally where I want them to.When I blackout and default to the ball I usually shank them.I spent past 3 years in a bad place wondering why I was wasting my time.I now have the confidence that I can return to good golf with intent.
Thanks for your unique perspective on the game .

Hi Shawn,

I’ve seen some of your videos where you have a slightly open stance to target when drawing the ball. This contradicts the diagonal set up in this video. Is it a matter of preference and what works to try and draw the ball?

Thanks,

Tom

I got to play yesterday for the first time since watching this series. That diagonal stance is the TRUTH!!! I used it on all shots. It makes it so much easier to keep the back swing on the target line and for the hips to turn.

Can the diagonal stance work for bunker shots as well?

Hi Shawn, in your “hinge” video IIRC you said that the square or open stance opens the door for the pull/hook. Could you please explain why this is so?

I tried 9-holes with the diagonal stance today and was surprised how well it worked! 🙂 Just for fun I even putted with it! 🙂 In my case, I got a better brace to the left leg and my best shots were those who felt like the one legged drill. The best thing with this stance is that it frees the brain from thinking of aligning body parts and instead the only thought is to align the momentum. against a (intermediate)target .

Came back to review my grip especially the trail hand and discovered after seeing the video several times I missed getting my lead thumb right in the lifeline of my trail hand. I hand it close but not locked in there. Probably why I have been a regripper over the ball. I will bet that has effected other other areas of my swing like a left pull.
Must not have been right as the feel is total solid now.
Just the basics first. 👍
