Hi Shawn I’m a total beginner and from what I understand swing tempo should be 3 to 1. My tempo is about 2.4 to 1 and I’m finding difficult to get it to 3 to 1. I’ve tried counting on the backswing to slow it down but I still only get the odd swing at or around 3 to 1. Any advice please. Cheers Stefano

This is awesome drill 👍☺ Is that “anchored snap” same action like you show with that impact snap training aid?

Wow, this was an absolutely great video. Lots of nuggets explained in a crystal clear way. Thanks!

Hi Shawn. Nice video and am enjoying the diagonal stance but I struggle to not stay too safe and centered. I need to get the ground with my lead foot to actuate my swing ‘out there’. Comment?

Shawn I’ve recently subscribed to the premium offering and having watched a number of your videos already the improvement to my game is progressing significantly in the right direction – Thank You!

Can you enlighten me further on general bunker play please. I infer head tilt and turn should be similar to other shots ( 20 degrees) ? Is there also a preferred line of direction to the target line (i.e. xx degrees to the left if right handed) which seems to be the common thread from other golf coaches?

Regards Bill

Hi, Shawn. This series has transformed my game greatly. Using the diagonal stance has allowed me to lengthen my back swing giving me more space to gather more momentum and a solid foundation to release that momentum with higher speed and less effort on the down swing. The result so far is more distance with the driver and a full club increase in distance and much better accuracy with all the irons and hybrids. Since our Dallas session last October I was able to reduce my handicap index from 13.6 to 10.4. Once I put the diagonal stance in play my index has dropped to 8.4 in the last three weeks. Thanks for putting this series together!

hi Shawn. I feel more and more free in my game and I thank you for that Shawn.it’s so magic to find the right position with the intermediate point and what’s you are planning to do and it’s so delicious when you are in harmony and success. thanks a lot, kind regards jj

Hi Shawn. Great stuff . Ive been trying the diagonal stance and I’m hitting it more solidly and with better acurracy but cant quite get the trajectory consistent. Havent really used the stance with my irons yet. Question< do you always hover the driver ? and is that your recommendation with the driver? Cant wait to see you in November!

Hi Shawn
I am finding that if I concentrate on making sure my lead hand (left for me) is facing the target at impact I get a better feeling of impact. Should this happen naturally or is it executed? I understand that I am directing my thoughts at the target.
Kind regards
Mandy

When do you plan to visit Melbourne?
Brisbane would be closer.
The wife has approved. 😃

The club head stays outside of the hands in the backswing? That’s my observation of this video.

Hi The “cherry on the cake” is just what I needed to stop me over drawing when using the diagnol stance – bolt and cenre – your are the master!

I’ve been using that diagonal stance now and working the power fade instead of the draw I’ve been hitting for years. Yesterday the first 9 holes I was smoking the driver with a hint of a fade. On the back 9 it started fading more and then by the last few holes in turned into a huge slice. What was I doing wrong? All the shots and the setup position felt the same to me.

Hi Shawn.

I’ve been closing the club face while practicing some wedge and short irons recently and have been getting great results. The feel when I hit the ball with my gap wedge is so much more crisp, distance is much better and ball flight straighter. I’d say I have a neutral grip, and have been closing the clubface at set up so the toe points to 10 o’clock. However, I find when I go back to a driver, wood or hybrid and close the face this much it doesn’t work very well at all. Should the grip/club face be the same through out the bag assuming you were wanting to hit the same shaped shot?

I changed from a light as you can grip pressure(2-3) to 8-10 after watching your youtube video on topic. Without a doubt the quickest and most dramatic change I’ve ever experienced – 8 iron took 10-15 yards of hook curve off ball – nailing it straight now with yard or two of curve. Driver compression with this tight grip makes me smile on every shot – simply amazing, thanks Shawn!
