The Braced Tilt videos are some of your best. I normally have a tilt but I added more tilt today with the driver and got some phenomenal results, added quite a bit of distance. Had to loft the driver down because they were going so high but the extra carry was gratifying.

Shawn the ball position in the bunker and for the flop looks on your front instep. Is that correct?

Same position for chips?

TIA

Very helpful as always Shawn.
However on some occasions when I open the face I get an unmentionable. Can you say what I need to focus on more to avoid this most frustrating of outcomes please? Or refer me to another video. Thanks again. Regards. Ian

Shawn pole in or out? also should I aim for the hole or in front of it?

thanks

Shawn, very new premium member and love all your videos and your explanations. I lost my left eye (I am right handed and right eye dominant) in a golfing accident (my own ball came back off a tree when I hit a driver off the deck trying to scoot the ball around it (I was very close to the tree). My depth perception has never recovered back to normal so I am always trying to find where to look with my good eye on various shots. On your greens side bunker shots, where do you focus? Lastly, I would encourage you to also incorporate some camera views from the bill of your cap so that we can see how much you are closing or opening the club at set up. Thank you!!

Hi Shawn,
Just curious if you personally see any difference in your distance or accuracy between thinking “let it fall” vs “throw the club with an effortless whip”. I had been using throw the club but I had a great range session thinking let if fall. Much more consistent flush contact with pulling back the effort level. It worked great with my irons but not so well with the driver as I had the tendency to “drop kick it” along ground before ball contact. Going back to “Throwing the club” with driver seemed to solve that. Does your focus or tasks and thought process change from club to club or day to day and do you see a significant difference in your distance from task to task?

The fall, fall really works for me.
Shawn – I am finding if I add a little axtra ‘juice’ to the fall / fall I can hit it much further. By extra juice, I mean through the hitting zone/through the stem. Is this wrong? Should it just be gravity?
The other thing I find amazing is that if I tell myself I need a 9 iron to hit it 150 yds, that’s how far I will hit it. If I tell myself I hit my 9 iron 130 yds, that’s how far I will hit it. Obviously there will be a range of distances, but I really think the body reacts to the potential distance I have if I set it the task of hitting it further.

Hi Shawn,

A little background first; I own a whippy training aid and use it daily, I use a “Wally Armstrong” tempo trainer and swing it regularly. I mention this to let you know that I’m dedicated to the centrifugal motion one should use to institute a proper golf shot. Ok here comes the 64 thousand dollar question? Should one think about the motion of the club through the swing or just the target you are trying to send the ball to? Is the pause a proper position at the top of backswing? The pause sort of ready’s me for the downswing? My last thought on the way down is to start transferring weight onto my left leg and to stay with the ball until the club passes through it on the way to the target?? IM getting closer a repeatable swing but I have to get few more swing thoughts to reconciled. Love your channel and it really resonates with me!

Thanks, Duffer Dave

Really enjoyed the outro electronic bagpipes at the end.

Daar Shawn, I am using a thick grip in my putter, do you have tips in the grip ? I am struggling with my putting to get it better. Thanks in advance Regards Martijn

Hey Shawn. Focussed on the follow through rehinge on the range before playing this morning. Just as an add on, once i had completed what usually would have been the full swing, instead of stopping i swung back through my intermediate point to a full backswing. Just like the “out of the way out of the way” perpetual motion I found that my practice shots felt more solid and accurate where the rehinge allowed me to then go straight into a backswing. I also felt no manipulation since the brain was refocusing on grooving the swing over the intermediate point, both towards the target as part of the shot and then after the rehinge. I guess this is similar to the walking routine concept but specifically concentrating on the rehinge and what I’m calling recoil. Just thought I’d pass this on as it helped me to establish what was a good rehinge against a poor one. I realise this probably won’t work with helicopter finishes though. Regards Steve

Hi Shawn – played a 9-hole event tonight. My friend noticed my feet “wiggle” throughout my back swing. I’ve noticed this too for awhile now. I try not to focus on this, and stay focused to my target. Should I hit more balls beneath my feet for practice? I feel more bolted to the ground when I do not lift my fit during the swing.

Hi Shawn, just signed up yesterday and loving the videos. Chipping is my worst shot so can’t wait to try this method. What club is best? I tend to use a 52. Do you recommend using one club or using different lofts depending on distance? ( I’m hoping you will say one club ).

Thanks Gerry

Shawn about 2 out of 10 swings I hit the ground before the ball what is causing this ? Thanks

Hi Guys,
Anyone can answer this question…

When talking about the Dandelion stem, where are we picturing it? Is the ball itself the stem? (so we cut through half way down the ball?) Is the entire ball the top or “flower” of the Dandelion, so the stem is completely underneath the ball? (ball sitting on stem)? Do we see the entire ball as both the stem and the flower together? So maybe 3/4 of the way down the ball is where the stem starts? This one has always gotten me….I love the analogy, just trying to make sure I know what I’m doing.
Thanks in advance! Love this stuff!
