I try this drill on my backyard and it really is very good multi training aid 👍 You can check ball position, posture, momentum direction and also great visual for target line.

Coach I think I just found the missing link for a quantum leap.

The golf swing is a down throw in both directions. If I start my backswing w the sensation that I’m throwing the club in a downward manner my body reacts and glides out of the way and my transition just simply feels like that throw isn’t quite done yet.

Once it’s done I begin my second throw in a downward direction, but by now the body has re centered and pivoted to “catch” this momentum forward.

If I want to throw it further, I do. I just throw it further into my backswing too to load the catapult properly.

Throw down, throw down. Out of the way, out of the way.

For draws I throw down just to the right of the IP.

For fades I thrown down and left of the IP.

Wow! Is this something you’ve experienced?

I notice that both you and Mu set up with weight on heels. Feelings on this sir? Thank you

Hi Shawn great video. This works great for all of my clubs but my driver. With the driver on my downswing I feel like my body has moved forward, almost covering the ball. Should I setup further back with the driver.

Hey, Shawn! Brand new member here. I have been golfing for around 2 years, and I’ve been subscribed on YouTube for about a year now, your videos have really helped me become comfortable with swinging the club! This year is the first year I am hungry for improvement. I just got your grass whip in yesterday in fact! I would say two of my biggest troubles on the course right now is a pretty bad slice on my driver and a minor slice on my irons. One of the troubles I come across is whenever I try to fix something in my driver, I seem to break something in my irons and vice versa. Any thoughts on this? I really appreciate any insight, and all the videos you create, you are wide and far my favorite creator!

Shawn,
It’s not a bad idea to release to center of most greens versus versus trying to rlease to edges and move it back ? Thanks.

So you do no pulling ,just letting it fall with dead arms. It happens so fast it looks as though you help it. Just want to be perfectly clear that you do not manipulate it at all

The message here is probably the most important in all manners of golf. The thinking about where your body is supposed to go and the positions you are “supposed” to be in; is very debilitating. I’m on my 5th season and have spent a lot of time doing that, with some success, but there comes the point where thoughts take over and your body is like a scratched CD, skipping all over the place. I am so grateful that the teachings here are those that I can understand and follow. I love that my swing thoughts exist in my preshot routine when I’m going through PMD, finding the blur, and Goldielocks. Once complete, it’s addressing the ball and letting the body take over.

Shawn you should do a video on a backwards version of the walking drill. Helps me get any little early extension out of my swing and really works nicely w send divots.

Task is walk backwards and send divot. Very powerful feeling w incredible contact!

Hi Shawn,

In one of your chipping videos you mentioned the lower body moving the left pec which moves the ACU back. Works really well to get the body moving back and through to throw the ACU to the target. Is the full swing the same process just with more momentum to allow the arms to levitate up to complete the swing? This gives me more a “connected” and in sync backswing. Or as in this video just use the lower body to get the upper body out of the way so the ACU can swing freely? Just a bit of a different feel, maybe both OK dependent on the individual golfer?

Is it ok to pick up and plant the trail heel to trigger the swing with all clubs? I adopted it after watching this video and I find it comfortable and feels consistent. Not sure if it will work for driver,woods,irons equally?

Also should the trail heel plant give the
feeling of the club starting back on the correct plane with momentum?

Thank you for recommending this video, Shawn. I think the alignment stick being in the ground as an obstacle to get around will really help me. I am struggling a little to get the release tracking to the right and end up with a pull hook/pull rather than a push draw. It was getting to the point where I was trying to manipulate the path and that was a dreadful range experience (lesson learned about manipulation 😬). I have been improving and have had some really nice shots with pleasant ball flight, just not as consistent as I’d like, which I feel is a problem with the direction of my release. I am hoping that using this drill while throwing clubs will help.
On a positive note; going from a chronic slicer to the occasional draw and my biggest miss is the pull/pull hook, and having a more planned and predictable fade in “quiver” has been nice. Now if I can make sure I don’t try “add” power to my swing. 😂

Is the P6 “Hands forward” shaft position from your grip holding it up in that position/angle? In a real swing with momentum and speed I imagine you would not be able to hold it there like that and your wrists would just release that shaft angle.

My wrists never used to do that shaft angle like your demonstration they just flopped down with gravity when I would try a slow mo swing stopping at P6 like you did.

So do we literally do the battering ram wrist/shaft angle coming into impact exactly like you do in the video on a real swing and centrifugal force takes over when it needs to?

Is it a feeling of sitting down with your swivelled rear end on just the left side or more of a feeling of sitting into both legs glutes/quads/hamstrings ?

I like the automatic feeling I get with the legs/quads/glutes/hamstrings swinging a sledgehammer but the club is not heavy enough to replicate that same feeling unfortunately .

Was there a video to this turbo charge series for legs? You said “The use of the legs from last week” 18:11 makes it sound like there was a video on legs?Only found left and right hand turbo charge.
