What a beautiful practice area and teaching area.

HI Shawn! I’ve been having some good success with dead arms. One thing that has come up is I’m starting to push shots. And usually I’m super happy with the swing. Thoughts?

Also, when on the tee box, would you pick a spot that is level, or pick a spot with an intermediate point – what would be your priority? ****Super commenter

Hi Shawn longtime follower on youtube, recent member of your premium channel. I had this issue last summer as well. It seems that I get to certain point when I play a lot of rounds. Slowly shanks start to sneak in. My Last round a few days I could get some solid hits but everything was going shooting off to right with the Irons and wedges. Woods and Driver were ok overall. Can you direct me to which videos to focus on. I rewatched videos on posture and grip to see if something was off. Thanks again.

Shawn,

Can you explain if there is a method to determine if you need a face balanced putter vs toe hanging or in-between? Does it really matter if you’re using perpetual motion to feel the putter swing? Thanks kindly.

Hi Shawn,

Had my best round yet going back to wisdom in golf basics – flight plan, IP, target focused task, observe result. Flight plan where things have broken down in past is the confidence to actually be able to execute a flight plan vs make it as straight as possible. This will take some time and effort to continue down this path.

On thing I did was set up relaxed and square to IP. Then adjust a bit for flight plan. Otherwise I seem to exaggerate the setups too much leading to that confidence issue that this will be a good result. But you do need to be willing to make some mistakes for the process to unfold. Since the mistakes happen anyway this shouldn’t be a problem 🙂 but easier said than done.

Thanks Shawn for the progress so far

Bonjour Shawn, cette vidéo est réellement trés importante et j’espère qu’elle aura été vue par tous vos élèves.
En ce qui me concerne, grâce à vos conseils, j’éprouve de plus en de plaisir à jouer et m’entraîner, mon jeu s’en est trouvé complétement transformé.
Votre enseignement est d’une exceptionnelle qualité. Merci.

Hi Shawn and thanks for another awesome video but now I’m confused 😀 Probably because I have misunderstood. When hitting a draw respectively fade you still aim the feet to the target? Is it ball position, the swing direction and maybe also a more closed or open club face that changes?

Hi Shawn, thanks for the lesson! I wanted to understand how much I should squat? I feel I need to get quite low to feel my glutes and quads engage, but that makes the club really flat and my 7 iron is resting on the heel instead of the sole on setup. I also feel better engagement with the kinetic chain when I squat at address instead of squatting down in the backswing – wanted to hear your thoughts on this as my instructor is trying to get me more upright with my knees and lean more with the spine to be over the ball – I feel quite weak this way and the swing becomes arms only.

Hi Shawn. I’ve been a part of your premium channel for a couple of months now and have made some strides. Not perfect, but improving nonetheless. I revisited this video because I am trying to get to a point of hitting a draw on command (chronic slicer). The problem I am running into is that my miss is a wild pull/pull hook. Part of me feels that I am either not getting enough turn in my backswing or my tempo is too quick to transition into the downswing. I am starting to wonder if my brain is getting in the way of letting me push my shots to the right when hitting a draw. I think this because there are some par 3s at my home course with OB or tree trouble to the right. Do you suppose my fear of hitting into trouble may be causing this? With it as bright as it’s been I have a hard time seeing the blur over the ball, so I check the divot with my practice swing and all is good, until I hit the ball.

Sean ,
Getting close here ! Lifetime snap hook. Noticed that if I go all out and throw to left of my midpoint it starts to slight fade or stay straight . Should that be my thought ? Thanks so much for everything

Shawn, I love the way you teach! I am learning tons of stuff, and I thank you for imparting your great wisdom in golf to people like me! My question is about shot shapes. It seems like your “go to” shot is the draw. Is there ever a time where I should just try to hit it straight, or should I always try to spin it for a fade or draw? I know that straight ball flight is extremely rare, but it seems to me that aiming directly over the intermediate point would yield results at least as good as an attempted draw or fade—especially at my skill level! And it would be a lot easier to do! What am I missing?

I’m excited about the forum!

I swear I’ve seen all the videos but I do not remember this one!!!! This one is soooo good!!

Tried this out a little bit and had a few different results, but all leading to the ball hooking/drawing. Some were pull hooks and some started dead straight and started to draw. Had a couple events with the driver (as you stated in this video) that I had a super strong grip/closed face and the ball went dead straight. Question 1- At set up with a strong grip/closed face should I line up the closed face to my IP? Question 2- Should my IP be aimed 5-10 degrees to the right of my target?
