Hi Shawn, you mentioned ball essentially center of stance w/ irons.

Is that all irons 3-pw. There are different opinions on keeping the ball forward in your stance w/ longer irons and center of stance w/ shorter irons. Would love to know your take on this.

Thank You,

Nate

Hi Shawn,

I’m a new member and I love your content and teaching style. Question – what causes my knuckles on my lead (left) hand to hurt for days after playing golf. My right hand is fine.

Note – I’ve had this problem before switching over to your grip recommendations but is still sore even now.

Take care!

100% awesome stuff. So simple but so hard to reprogram the brain-especially after programming the swing to use positions. Time to restart the range sessions.

It starting to sink into this sore stiff senior Duffer’s body. It going to take complete trust in the process along with the ability to do the fundamentals correctly for each shot. You know grip, posture and staying in the shot stuff. :>

Thank You!

The 2 comments above just about sum it up. Reprogram the mind to have a new concept of a gravity fed swing going through a dandelion stem to a target out there. However the effortless balance and consistent reproducible flight path without positional thoughts is a joy. Takes a bit of work and real focus on the task.

You are flushing those brother! I’ve messed with the “strike it with your trail side” tip by feeling “inside and under” your lead arm through the cut. However, this to me seems like another way of explaining it in a more strain-free manner. I’ve gained another 1/2 to 1 club distance with the above tip…much more pop!

Can’t wait to try this thought out! Thanks Shawn.

Thank you Shawn! I am consistently 1 to clubs longer this season after really understanding how to use the kinetic chain. Used to hit 7 from 150 now I feel like I can hit 9 sometimes! 👍

Shawn, I understand the concept of letting gravity/fall works in the arm club unit is supposed to work in the golf swing. And I can perform it in my practice swings but how do I stay in that freefall mode when on top of the ball trying to travel over water with people watching. I realize this a silly question to ask but switching from practice to performance and not have any swing thoughts is almost impossible for my analytical mind.

Thanks, Duffer Dave

Happy Eagle member here – Since joining, I’ve gained 2 clubs in distance. Last week, I shot 2 over on my home course. Thanks Shawn!

Using our “walk in the park“ PMD swing, I can drive it around 240 yards (~102 mph swing speed). How can I get more? I want to hit it 295 yards like you!
Here are 3 specific techniques that have increased my distance:
⁃ a more pronounced squat that initiates the downswing
⁃ a harder leg push off the ground that throws the club to the target
⁃ using my arms and wrist more to “throw the club to the target”

Or maybe I need a combination of the three? Thanks!

very helpful. On the full swing I assume the right hand (assuming right handed golfer) also always stays above the left on back-swing and under left on follow through. I tend to rotate hands and many teachers preach the tray position on back-swing whereby right hand ends up under left as it would need to do to keep a tray from dumping the dishes on the floor. Results in your system problematic. I can’t wait to try the right hand on top rule on back-swing etc on driving range. Or is this rule wrong in your system of using gravity and momentum???

Hi Shawn in this video you mention how you sorted out your right elbow so that it stays more in front of you and doesn’t rise up on the backswing causing you to go across the line. As this is a fault which I have which of your videos would help me best to overcome this problem. Many thanks and kind regards Steve

Ugh

I have just ordered mine!
Anyway, just a question here Shawn if I may about the grip covered in one of your videos about weak/strong and how it works. Extremely helpful video which clarified a number of issues. Can’t wait to try adjusting my grip either!
My question is “ Is the grip for the driver equally strong as the one you demonstrate is applicable to the irons?”
Many thanks again for all your sterling work. It is a delight to pay for it-and I am a Scotsman!
Best regards Ian

Hi Shawn and team, dropping the right foot also moves the ball position correct? (since we are essentially just changing direction instead of moving “around the cirlce” of the ball.) Is it fair to say, that when first setting up, line the ball up a little more toward the center (so if normally you’d play off your lead instep, play maybe a ball width toward center). Then when we drop our trail foot back, the ball position should move forward just a smidge to be a nice comfortable position? I think if you don’t adjust for this, then the ball will be too far forward and throw off the prediction?

Thanks,
