Great stuff Shawn! always looking for more ways to get the feel of the release deeper through the ball. My rehinge has got so delayed now that it happens behind my head and the finish looks the same as when Tiger was hitting that draw that he almost holed on #16 at Augusta this year! I get that finish when I do the Henrik Stenson drill to spray water deep with my Right Palm. Other times I have the Jack Nicklaus recoil onto back foot when I’m using the walking drill for a task, or it looks like Bubba’s high release when I use the Lead Arm sword slash feel! Evolution baby!

Shawn – a lot of great stuff in this video – focusing on keeping the feet bolted through impact – how do you take this video to the course when you may not be skiing and golfing simultaneously? 🙂
Is the takeaway here to try and keep pressure over the arches on both feet through impact to help keep your feet bolted?

This drill saved my sanity. I intend to do this at the start of every practice. Thanks Shawn!

Hi Shawn, just joined the Premium channel,//// lucky me… your videos are just awesome!!!!!!

Very Nice

This is something I have been working on. I find it important to make it on my practice swing. People too often cut their practice swing short.
One odd thing is I sometimes finish with my hands over my head instead of over the left shoulder.

Over the head after the re-hinge is fine; I do the helicopter all the time to dissipate the excess!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s video dropping as a nice sequence to this one! Shawn

Hi Shawn
Would that explain my high right to right miss with the driver when trying to draw it, and my unintentional straight fade when I really stay with my task to target shot?
With that set up it should be a lot easier to stay with right edge of intermediate and stay with the target.
Does it also apply to fairway woods and the long iron draws?
Thanks

I am brand new. 8.5 index but very inconsistent and historically a very overly analytic positional player; something about your teaching method clicked with me. I watched the blur and throwing the club and hit incredibly well on the range. As funny as it sounds in the process of trying to hit the ball I think I have historically not only missed the blur but often don’t remember focusing on the ball. I am going to take some time going through the videos the next few weeks. My only question is it seems like there is a bit of an up and done vertical motion to your swing. Am I seeing that right and is that ok?

Great video Shawn. I actually hit everything with a slightly closed stance. I still have issues hitting a fade off a driver – but maybe a square stance will help me.

Are you saying for irons we stick to a square stance – even for a draw?

Thanks!

It is great that you keep thinking about how to improve the swing. It gives you confidence that you incorporate what you teach into your own game. Sometimes golf teachers say “you have to do it this way but I don’t because I am a pro”.
The angle driver stance is what I did to cure my slice when the ball was my target. It gave that little extra time to square the club face. Then I would get comfortable with it and start pushing it.
Now the ball is just something in the way of me throwing that club straight down the fairway. I have not hit a slice since.

Thanks Shawn for the rethink. I’ve struggled with open/square stance draw setup. Fade as you know is more natural for me starting open. Might get a nice consistent purposeful draw. Will let you know. Best regards. J

Shawn,
I’ve never had a blister on my lead hand before now. Since using your grip and a firmer grip, I have a blister at the base of my pinkey. Any thoughts, is this ok?

Thanks
David

Had this issue and at one point of time did ask you why I am having difficulty hitting a draw with the Driver. Will certainly try it.

How does this compare with “MAJOR DRIVER SETUP NUGGET”?
