Hi Rick! No, I don’t
See my downhill shot video on premium; practice throwing down the slope like that and feel how the slope causes you to brace beautifully and get that catapult effect you get with the feet together drill.
If you feel the need to walk, your swing’s center is moving forward because your center of gravity is moving forward and that would cause the ball position to move back and then you find yourself in a position where you have to cast the arms early and reach back to not miss the ball;
See also “hammer drill” and “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “release dine tuning” videos on premium. Great question!!
I taught this 30 plus years ago and this would be one of the things I would love to take back…Gary Player was one of the books I read At the time…

Did you see the videos for those?? Very important that you see them as this is one of the things that is the MOST POORLY TAUGHT IN GOLF. Ball positions will be in relation to the shot you want to hit, draw or fade. Please see those videos!

Some woods are more draw biased and have a club face that LOOKS MORE OPEN THAN IT REALLY IS! So people tend to close the face more than the irons by mistake.

Just close enough so that when you release in the direction you want to start the ball, that it flies the way you want it to.

Shawn, is there a guideline for picking the intermediate aiming point when on the course? Sometime it is hard to find a good intermediate point. Is there a too close, too far, “goldilocks” way to help select one that makes it easier to stay focused on it or one that won’t adversely affect the swing?
Steve

Quick question, on the range when I can put an intermediate point on the ground (tee, ball), or stick and alignment rod in the ground a few feet in front of me, I have a very easy time hitting both fades and draws around the intermediate point or around the alignment stick. The issue is when I get on the course. When I stand behind the ball I can pickout a blade of grass or something, but when I address the ball I can’t seem to find the spot and feel a bit lost when setting up. That said if there is a divot, or leaf or something obvious I can hit it exactly like the alignment rod is in front of me.

Any advice for this issue when there isn’t an obvious intermediate point?

Thanks!

2 suggestions: and congrats on achieving success with your system!
1- See my answer to Steve Harvey
2-take a practice swing placing the ball between you and the target and take a couple of healthy divots and let them fly over the ball and in front of the ball; now you have a legal way to find an obvious intermediate point.

Sometimes it is better to start next to the ball and pick one; then step back and see what side of that IP you want to deliver towards for the shot you have; sometimes you have one behind the ball!
If not; try to find the next nearest point in front of you like a fairway bunker or small tree…

Not mis-balanced; DIFFERENTLY BALANCED!!!!
This still will not prevent you from delivering a nice whip to target; it will just feel different.

If you go to member home and use the video list; it is about mid way down next to Genius of Gabriele Wulf.

😀👍

I would stay with the square stance, yes! You should not be experiencing that with diagonal and you are getting something lost in translation; like my dad always said: don’t fix what isn’t broken! 😀😝👍

Hmmm; could be Grip and arm motion or Hammer drill or in the “off season training” in “sword drill”
Youtube it would be “fencing for power”

Very nice guess! Very well gathered! You know my weakness! 😝😀👍

Yeah man!!

Nice comment here!

Double pump? Sounds like the right lingo! Is it a double kinetic chain like I talk about in the new Kyle Berkshire analysis video I just put out?

Shawn

Saw him do this at the Greenbrier yesterday. Announcers were talking about how they’ve seen people do it as a drill but never in a competitive round!
