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!

I Shawn. A few questions.
1- I tend to pull my irons a bit when setting up for a fade or straight fade. I tried to open the club face a bit but my brain doesn’t like the feel of it and I end up re-gripping it. How do you go past that?

2- I would like your thoughts on the following. My drives always tend to be on the low side so I was considering changing my loft to 10.5 instead of 9.5. Also, I was starting to consider offsetting it to draw since I have a big tendency to do push fades.

Thank you for your time and videos. I definitely feel like my swing is a lot more supported with that diagonal stance. Everything falls into place a lot more easier. It also made me realize that I was fighting that natural tendency before by setting up per industry standard; both feet parallel.

This was an absolutely brilliant video for me. For the first time, it unlocked the heretofore unfathomable release!. By showing the incremental changes from the chip to the pitch, you saved my golf game and my sanity.

“Turbocharge your swing” – YES it does. Tried this today and according to the swing radar my swing speed jumped significantly. For those of you who don’t think the vertical movement will help, just try it and stick with it until you get it. Thanks Shawn, you are some kind of crazy genius.

Looks like your head does not move until you hit ball
So
Does the swing thought
See the ball leave make sense ?
Seems I make better contact

Hi Shawn, I’ve been trying to work on the feet together drill for some time now. Some reason, I’m unable to contact the ground consistently and most of the time the club does not even touch the ground at all. I’m not quite sure what’s causing me to “miss” the ground and even when I do get contact, it doesn’t always hit the same spot. Especially when going backwards, it is totally inconsistent. Any advice? Thanks!

Shaun,
With this particular video and your diagonal stance series videos…
are you changing your teaching philosophy? Or just providing options to your past alignment and ball position videos? Thx in advance for your reply.

Shaun… Can you explain throwing a club for a fade it seems like most of your examples are always throwing the club for a draw thanks

I like this! It is easier to get better backswing. Bolted and centered, yes but how to get that wider release. I watched already those different throwing styles. If “javelin, football and hammerthrow is wider. Is wider also like “horse shoes” or tennis backhand? Less arm rotation and “snap”?

I have to admit that I feel so much better about myself, when Shawn hits a skanky one….hehe.
