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!

Shawn – Thank you. I have recently returned to golf after really giving up for the last 10 years. I’m so glad that one of the first things I have done upon my ‘return’ is to have found your teachings. It makes such a huge difference actually understanding what the heck is going on! I’m really left wondering what on earth all these ‘traditional’ teachers are doing, and am a bit mad at myself for listening to all that nonsense before, to the extent that I felt like I would never be able to succeed at even getting a moderate amount of consistency in my game. It’s just such a wonderful feeling to enjoy striking the ball through the ‘wisdom’, and I can’t wait to do that every opportunity I have now. You have restored my faith in myself and my love of the game. I can’t get enough of the video content, and I definitely want to find a way of coming up to Canada to learn from you in person. Thanks again!

I am 80yo and have played golf for many years [sporadically these days.] However, I have a torn and detached rotator-cuff which limits my backswing. [Surgery is not possible according to two Orthopedic surgeons.] I have modified my swing to counteract this physical limitation. I enjoy your videos very much but I am not capable of replicating the full swing you recommend so distance is a major problem. Now I am in pretty good health and I recognize body changes that are natural. I would appreciate any suggestions helping me improve both swing and distance.

Is an early folding of the trail arm a short circuit?

I am a little confused about the fade and draw. In both, the club head is a little closed, but the position of the ball in the stance is different. Fade – forward, draw behind? Correct?

Do you have a favorite throw or progression that gets the trail arm stretched out towards the target on the through swing? I don’t even know what this position indicates but a lot of good players have it!

Enjoying the rabbit hole, thank you. Will talk soon.

A beautifully shot and constructed video! Very helpful as always!
The pace of your arm swing in the shots you play appears to match the speed of the body motion. To what extent does that pace of the arm swing change as the shots and clubs are longer?
Regards
Ian

Hi Shawn, this is just what I need, very helpful. Played today and my chipping was much improved. For the lob shot is it still the case that you let momentum release your hands? It looks slightly different. Also is there a video that explains all about intermediate points?

Thanks
Gerry

Shawn,
Feet together drill + snapping back into another backswing…wow! Absolute bombs and a giant, open, snap!

It took me a while to incorporate the “hammer throw” feeling into my swing, but it really clicked today at the range and I was smokin’ the ball with all clubs. Really an awesome drill and it simplifies everything. Hope I can take this to the golf course next week. Thanks Shawn.
