I just subscribed last night at 11:00pm. This looks like it would cause my mind to want to scoop the ball instead of hit down on it, or are you still hitting down on the ball like people refer to? What am I missing? I really have a great desire to learn as much and as fast as I can from you.

Agree Mick10.
Mentally I like the left handed ( i’m a righty) frisbee throw. Left foot grounded with the weight of the Frisbee/arm unit waiting for permission to sling when i’m out of the way. Super lag, nice kinetic chain and my brain is learning (for the most part) to think “I’m going out there”, NOT down to the ground. Love throwing clubs but range staff think i’m nuts. J.

Hi Shawn. Revisited the putter series. I am using Odyssey centre shafted putter. Left hand low. Not grounded after Goldilocks. My mind is very much on NOT hitting the ball but using momentum/weight of APU.
I’m wondering about contact.
Should the putter head be flowing up at contact, be going parallel to the ground or (not likely) contacting down to the ball?
Should the back of the ball be at the sternal notch ( level contact starting to rise) or the front of the ball (feels like hitting down too much)?
My mind is very much on NOT hitting the ball. Thanks. J.

So I’ve played shortstop and skipped many a stone in my younger days. When I try to replicate that feeling with the golf club it feels flippy in the hands and I’m missing that under/through feeling. I’ve done the club throw but it is always separated quite it bit in time from hitting balls. I’ve not found a place where I could do both in close proximity of time. Any idea what I can do to remedy this?

Hi Shawn!

Just wondering if you ascribe a weight percent per leg at address ex: left leg 60% right leg 40%?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Shawn!

Hi Shawn,

At the top of my backswing (right handed) when I allow the hinge, I often feel the club moving in the palm of my left hand. Usually happens with the driver. I believe I am applying the grip properly. Could this be an issue with the grip size? I was fitted using the “traditional” swing and neutral grip. Or more likely user error??

Thoughts on following DeChambeau to jumbo max?

Sorry , I may be over thinking this and you couldn’t have made a better video.
If our target is the flag, do we line up parallel to the flag ? Positioning the ball back of center causes an in to out for draw and forward of center is more of out to on for fade?

Hi Shawn!

Just wondering if you’re visualizing the base of the dandylion stem do that you contact the ball on the lower grooves of the face? If not can you tell me where you’re imagining it being.

Thanks a bunch,

Matt

Were you able to review the e-mail attachment showing my swing? I trust my e-mail to you was received. If not let me know.

i tend to pull short irons(50degree to 58) to the left big time… any thoughts???

cant wait for the next one! i have that exact problem with 6 and up irons!

Hi Shawn,

So it’s all ground force for speed and power then?

Thanks,

Matt

In the braced tilt video on premium at 3:21 you say about the backswing pre-turn “but at one point you do want to evolve out of that because your turn is now fluid and has no issue and all you want to do now is just allow it to respond to the target.” Please clarify: Do you mean that eventually you no longer want to set up in the braced tilt, or is that line specific to the (partial) backswing pre-turn and you still like the braced tilt as a long-term solution to a proper setup? I’m trying to find my way to the correct braced tilt setup but I think I’m over-cooking it. Probably too much left on the lower body and too far right on the tilt away from the target. After turning and tilting my head to the right about 20% I felt like I had lost touch with the target so maybe I was over-turning and tilting the head there. I also found that I was lining up right of the target and so that exaggerated my problem. Finally, if I am getting better at the elephant walk with the grass whip I am theoretically better centered and curing a sway and so will I be risking messing with the natural/centered position I’m finding with that elephant walk by setting up in a braced tilt?

Hey Shawn, Gary Hackney here. I get the feeling of being under and through to the picture and when I am having a good day the accuracy and distance with short clubs is amazing (140 yrds P wedge). But I have developed a terrible shank that just seems to show up out of no where with the short irons, especially my 54 and my 60. This seems to happen late in the round when I am tired. The more I try to stay under and through the worse the shank gets. Any thoughts on why this is happening. I am right handed and play steel shaft fitted irons.
