Can’t wait for lesson #2 Shawn! Flat out Nuking driver wirh series 1!! 63yrs old and carrying Driver 285yds! You should be Number 1 ahead of Butch as a teacher! Just my 2 cents!! Love u man!!

In your stock chip, with the hands leading the club head and the significant shaft lean, isn’t this prone to exposing the leading edge of the club and makes you prone to digging behind the ball?

I ask because I want to know how you do this if its a tight lie.

Thanks!

PS – the girl behind you at 5:29 🙂 hahaha

Hi Shawn, I would love to know what it was like when realized that your own swing had evolved to be totally automatic (in terms of being a WOG swing). It sounds corny but I need the inspiration. In my head, I know golf is not a game of perfect, but I hope to get to a point where I am like “wow, I can’t believe how much easier this game is now”.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Shawn,
Great video. New member after I was your videos on youtube. I went out and tried your ideas and they made sense. I hit very good shots and very bad shots so I’m missing more than a few pieces.

This video answered my first question on how my body position changes around the intermediate point.

Thanks,

I have a scramble tournament Friday. First place pays 6k! We play 8somes so it takes awhile. I typically play with my buddy and tend to get nutted up when 7 other guys are watching! Any tips on how to calm down? 7 beers in I have no problem!😂😂😂 Don’t tell me to drink 7 beers b4 I tee off!😂😂😂😂

Thank you, Shawn, for continuing the Diagonal Stance series. Looking forward to continuing this on the range. I want to ensure I have my picture set up correctly.

For Right-handed golfer:

Draw = Aim at target, ball position towards the back, strong grip, throwing the club to the right of the intermediate point.

Fade = Aim left of target, ball position towards front, less strong grip, throwing the club to the left of the intermediate point.

Is that correct?

Thank you!

Shawn, you have gratefully resurrected my swing after several abdominal surgeries. After three years I am finally just creaming the ball.

I am a little confused on the Diagonal Stance swing paths for draws and fades. Do we still swing a little across the line at the top for draws and a little more rearward for fades? Thank you.

Hi Shawn…first let me say that I am learning a lot about the human anatomy in relation to the golf swing through your instruction. You have a great way of communicating and I really enjoy your teaching style.
Shawn, I am hitting my irons better than my driver. The driver is erratic and I think in my quest for more distance, I am forgetting about staying centered on the ball and swinging through the ball. I tend to over-think my technique and put too much pressure on the tee shot, consequently, my center-face contact is very erratic. I notice when I watch your swing, you are still looking for the “blur” well past contact, as your right hand rolls over your left…how can I get past this thought of having to kill the ball, in order to get more quality driver shots? Thanks for all your help and your sense of humor!

Hello Shawn, I have a tendency to let go of the club especially at the top of backswing. When I go for a firm grip as you explained, I feel much better compression but I have the feeling that my wrist action is restricted and my clubhead speed goes down. What is the level of grip pressure on a scale of 1-10 that you recommend?

Great visual from behind the ball to see your red to blue or blue to red instruction. Need something similar to better see your right or left of intermediate point instruction. I am a right hand golfer. When I try to move ball back in stance, I push right or fade which seems the opposite result. Also get opposite result when I move the ball forward. That gives me a hook or a pull. So that seems to lead to alignment over intermediate point or the amount of pre closing of my club face. Thanks

Hi Shawn,

I’m struggling with staying on task because my brain knows that the ‘true task’ is to hit the ball with the club, I can’t trick my brain and I default to the ball . The task that works best for me is throw the club but I continually default to ball, I have no consistency at all- 180 degrees spray pattern. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated, I do agree with your teachings but I can’t do it… yet

Thank you, Jeff

Shawn,
I am two plus weeks into your video teaching, which has really refocused me.
I dont fully understand the Door Frame concepts. I get body position to hammer a nail.

Is the idea that the torso stays centered in the frame, not swaying either right or left, only turning and getting out of the way?

Your amswer will likely clarify things.

Best,
Charlie

Hi Shawn. I’m lefty and I can’t fade the ball if my life depended on it. My shots are always pushed left even though my focus stays on my desired shot shape and intermediate point. Either they are straight left (so to the intended final target) or they start left And start turning on top of that. The blur of the club goes over my intermediate point from my perspective. No issues with draws. 1) could the diagonal stance be contributing to that and 2) could it be that I’m overdoing “stay behind the ball”? Closing the face just lowers the ball flight or pulls the shot right.

Thank you
Eric

Shawn my wife is struggling with a sway, I searched using your search function but there’s no results; what video would you recommend that covers this fix?

Hi Shawn….Would it be accurate to say”…..”pick your stance that meets the fundamentals of balance in relation to your target, IP and it conforms with how you picture the shot.”
Thanks!
