Great video Shawn….what always amazes me when watching your videos is the mellow tempo in your swing!
I played last week and concentrated on relaxed shoulders, forearms and wrists , but keeping a firm grip and not trying to pull or yank down on the club from the top. I took an extra club on a lot of shots to keep my swing tempo more in synch. It was by far my best ball striking round ever and finished 3 over! (If I putted better I think I would have been even for the round). Feeling the “Weight of The Arm-Club” unit and not over swinging (low stress swing) are two most important concepts you’ve taught me thru your website…thanks and keep these great vids coming!

la sensation qu’on éprouve quand on réussi un coup de fer vec un grip trés ferme est extraordinaire, bruit mat et sec à l’impact, la balle s’envole comme une fusée trés haut et trés droite, le seul problème c’est pour reproduire à chaque coup ce grip, j’ai du mal à bien positionner ma main gauche, soit, j’ai une prise trop forte sur le coussinet , soit la prise de la main gauche est instable car trop faible….pas facile…

is tis something that can be incorporated into the feet together stance?

What is powering the swing? Gravity, Pivot, arm power??

Great video! This is something that I kind of figured out on my own through trial and error. Having you explain it is great confirmation!

Hi Shawn .. when I try the draw it’s high right blocks every time .. when I got behind the ball .. the shoulder alignment and legs were not aligned and it felt I was in my own way . Same ball flight every time

The great thing about your teachings is that I become more self sufficient with time. Studying and learning with all of you has been the best decision I ever made.

Shawn,

What video would help me see and feel wrist and hand release through the shot

So Shawn if I am hitting driver and I have good alignment to target and it feels like I am swinging and staying with my shot to the right edge of my IP for a right handed golfer (desiring a baby draw) but it is more often than not coming off feeling very well struck and compressed but is consistently pulled pretty far left with a draw that would most likely be a clubface at setup issue? I’ve had several lately that really surprised me as everything felt perfect staying centered and behind the ball and staying with the shot to the right edge of IP and I can’t figure out why it pulls left and goes further left. Could it be the more I am getting through the ball the more I need to open the face a bit at setup? Just want to make sure I understand it right that the initial ball flight using the club with the least amount of loft will be much more affected by clubface angle at setup or grip club relationship etc. I think this video might be exactly what I have been missing if I understand it right. Makes me think I might not be as far off as I thought if it may be just a simple grip club relationship change keeping everything else the same.

Thanks!
Dave

I’ve been working on this quite a bit between the range and my rounds. I’ve been fairly successful in both draws and fades with my irons. I still have some work to do in terms of how much draw or fade occurs, but nothing that hurts when I just aim for my target. For my driver and FW woods, I have had more success with fades. Most of the time when I attempt a draw I end up with a snap hook. I do have some more Goldilocks drills to work on with them, but feel like it’s coming along. Hopefully, I can keep this pace for my club championship next weekend. 😬

Last time i was on the range i had problems with 3 wood from the ground. Mis hits and max carry was only about 190 yards. Then it came to mind to try baseball release feel. It felt like my body and also clubface was pointing more right before impact. It really felt like i was going to hit way right and i get 210 carry with nice draw 😯😃 So actually are sword, hammer or baseball drill more about FEEL drills? In reality momentum and toe heavy golf club will rotate trough impact without helping. Well you probably had said it many times 😂 but it probably needs enough momentum and good release to target to make it work 🤔

the gravity center of the body must be very well positionned and stable, so the flight of the ball will be fantastic.

Shawn I have been experimenting with a feel you mentioned on one of your podcasts a couple months ago but I don’t remember you making a video about it. You were talking about really engaging your lead side to “pull” through with lead arm to activate the kinetic chain vs “push” with the trail arm. I use the “battering ram” task and when I do that task thinking slow heavy momentum to the target “pulling” through with my lead side instead of “pushing” with my trail side I notice a significant improvement in my kinetic chain engagement getting more through the ball. Could you explain that feel in more detail and any tips on how to better utilize it without getting into strain or manipulation?

Thanks,
Dave P

Shawn one feel I’ve grasped onto lately is the “Wring the towel” feel. It locks my grip in super firm, I’ve always felt the club sliding around a bit much for my liking occasionally in the lead hand. Is this a feel you’re a fan of? I can really feel the hands opposing each other now and the left hand feels like its pulling back as the trail hand zips thorugh.

Really works nicely with your oldie but goodie video on YT talking about casting the club head at your target like a fishing rod.

New member, I recently took lesson and they reversed everything causing me to hit/lose balls off to the right. Decided to go premium instead of continuing with the lesson, any more videos showing top down view of your stance setup and swing. Maybe Mu, or Sav. How square are should I be to target ( final ball position) or flight plan? (Direction I want to throw the club)
