The club should not look open after that no; the acid test is this: when you deliver the task in the direction you want to start the ball, how is the ball flying?
High right and Close the face
Low left and nice hook? Close face less.

The fine line we dance on that one is that the alignment can really be thrown off;

Make sure you have a full flight plan; then a nice intermediate point to help you set up properly into the flight plan; then you want to deliver the action slightly to the right of the intermediate point with the knowledge that the club face is closed enough to draw back to the end target.

You can do this with a square stance and ball back of center or a diagonal stance with ball center.

Actually, the video was under WRX Working the Ball with a Diagonal Stance with your student Chris.

Hey Joe! You know what the beauty of this way of going about things is? YOU CAN GO CROSS-HAND!

Does not matter how the hands go on the grip WHEN THERE IS NO HINGE IN THE WRISTS and we are using the weight of the ACU around a single pendulum point to make the shots.

Your brain is used to seeing the ball and hitting at the ball and has very deep connections to the “hit impulse” with the right hand; so going cross handed for a while will remove this connection and eventually, you will be able to come back; If you want.

There is no advantage either way to putting or chipping with either grip; the advantage is which one works! 😝😀👍

Right on Sam! That makes sense what you are saying; it gets you to unwind nicely inside the lead leg to anchor that release!

Do the walking drill and see how it speaks to you and come back with what you find!😀👍

I keep hearing “plant/fall”. If I “toss” the club, it leads to manipulation at times, or my classic over-swing. This drill also helps me feel the ground with my feet. I’m 6’-5’, and often struggle to feel the ground during my swing. Side note, I broke 80 this weekend for first time this year!

Another very complementary video to this is the “walking drill” video; timing in the swing will be revealed in spades in this one!
Shawn

Very good! That works!!

This video really helped me with the transition weight inside my front foot. I had so wonderful shots today. Still lots to improve but I really like this site. Thanks Shawn my game is heading the positive way. I must say also that throwing clubs was a great eye opener for me.

Throwing clubs is fantastic!!😀👍

Lol!! 😂😂
See the “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” videos on premium;

Feel the release with either the hammer or the sword; if you throw the club to the target and don’t let go, you will get the same release pattern;

Then all you need to do is predict what you want in the way; the dandelion stem is best; see “predict contact” and the “goldie locks series”

You bet Kevin!😀👍

Yessir!!!! You got it!

Was it fat and this while feet together or feet apart?
Did you have a target while doing either one?

Ok, keep an eye on your distance to ball; remember that the hands are farther from the body with the longer clubs! Pre-Deploy…you have seen that video?

OK… I don’t recall a Pre-Deploy video. Is that a premium or a Youtube video? (I did not see it in the premium list.)

Go to the ball position and Distance to ball video; one of the first ten videos;
Shawn

That is terrific! Nothing like a blissful shot in golf to light up the senses!
Lets go get some more! Shawn

Thanks for all you do. If you ever get close to Maryland ( close 100 miles ) please e-mail me at
[email protected] Love to meet you in person and take a lesson. Take Care.

Will do! I will put you on the list for Frederick at Cat Tail Creek CC;
Shawn

You don’t want to turn the feet towards the target; you keep a square stance with feet slightly open and then drop the left or lead foot back just slightly;
Shawn

Right on Josh!
Ok, so the next to last video in the premium called “Tilt Awareness-Direction-practice” is the one you want to see to get awareness to how the center of the swing is allowed to stay in place; then see “mile markers for balance” and then go to the “consistency series” in video #4, for mile markers for direction.
We keep building; but keep coming back to feet together as a warm up to every routine and a benchmark for your swing’s center!

So glad you are enjoying the lesson with Bill!
It is so nice to be able to be a fly on the wall for these though huh?!😀👍
Shawn

Yep, this content to me is most informative. Its amazing how similar we are in that we need to move past trying to be perfect and perform the task ! I see this regularly also as a instrumental teacher. Often telling myself to take my own advice on the range

Ha yes! That is wisdom right there! 😀👍
