Hey Shawn, in order to increase the hip turn I tried the heel coming off the left foot on the back swing- although this has helped me hitting better shots when it comes to driver and fairway woods, but I am having trouble with the shorter irons and losing accuracy. Do you think this should be avoided for shorter irons ?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Does the face of the hammer represent the face of the club or the sole?

I have played for thirty years and tried every method just get to mediocre golf. I watched your videos thoroughly and said why not. First day on the range so so. I was getting the dandelion, I was going after three inches of grass after the dandelion. The second day on the range it clicked. The dandelion and grass was just on the way to the finish. Then it got even better I tried not swinging so hard to try make sure I swung out to the target and the ball started flying further then even my hardest swing. Light bulbs were going off all over the place. I had to hit another bucket so I could play with all the possibilities. The very next game I took ten strokes off. It would have been more but my distances are off now. If you ever come to Calgary I would take a lesson just to shake your hand.

A video on full shot sidehill lies would be great. It might be out there but I could not find it. I am guessing it would be very similar to the chipping setup.

The problem I have to trying to ‘quiet the mind’ I have the task in mind then all of a sudden I’m focused on hinge at the top of backswing or letting the handle lead. I think I’m also physically moving my arms in downswing instead of allowing gravity to move them. Should I only be thinking about throwing my club at the picture in my mind???

Shawn, how does your technique compare to the Stan Utley? Seems the big difference is that Stan promotes a risk cock. Seems your technique is more foolproof / simpler.

Shawn irons are great. Fairway woods and driver fifty percent great. When the big hook comes it feels like my fight hand is is doing a fast release at the ball but that my club arm unit is still going to the target. The ball goes straight out and then exits stage left. I believe because they are woods I am trying too hard sometimes. Is there something I can concentrate on in the task to slow the swing and delay the release?

What happened with the mic?

Shawn, I was happy to see this video. I had been working this winter on the thought “swing to a pose”. Swing to the release really makes sure you get to the target. I do fairly well hitting into the net during a series of swings with the same club, but have found early Spring that I still revert back to some iffy swings on course and having a different club in my hand for each shot. So I know it is mental and yet it is hard to break habits that are ingrained. Guess I have to get out again to keep working on it 🙂 Thanks for the great video.

i completely understand the swing arc as it pertains to the irons and where to play in my stance but when i play my driver forward in stance , i struggle with hitting pull draws . isn’t the swing arc going to the left when the ball is played forward? i struggle getting the ball started to the right

Audio crackles but the message is clear. Did the feet together prep swings at lesson with Donna today. Helped with balance and rehinge and tempo.
FYI distance to ball has been an issue with the driver. Heel hits ++
Solved by finding the dynamic blur = static setup needs to keep clubhead in a sort of reaching position. Dynamic swing produced contact on centre clubhead, 4/10 effort and nice straight fade 220 +. Love that Wisdom in Golf.

Hi Shawn when you say draw grip/ fade grip are you simply referring to the club face being more open for the fade and more shut for the draw with the same gripping of the club as taught. Just a bit confused on that point. Thanks for the content

I just can’t get enough of those slow mo shots 🙂

Aha! The missing piece to the downswing puzzle. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.

One of your best, helped me identify one of my main mistakes. Somehow it feels natural to drive the legs but it leads to inconsistency and probably a loss of distance. I have noticed that I hit my shorter irons much purer than the longest clubs, probably because it is harder to drive with the legs on the short irons. So I get 180 to even 190 with the 8 iron but only 200-210 with my 5 iron.
