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.

For 12 years now my lead arm will not yield,or fold out of the way ..

At impact my lead wrist goes in to extension and the upper arm, elbow, forearm all stay frozen and close to left side of my body all the way to the top of follow through.

This move has always been a curse on my swing.

Hi Shawn, Im new to golf, and this is my second year. I have been watching your videos on Youtube and here. I’m having issue with my downswing thought. I have been switching between throwing club(s) out vs using trail arm (right side) to cut down (especially I’m thinking about moving my right elbow first in the downswing. Sometime, throwing club(s) method works, and sometime concentrate on right elbow works , but both are not consistent as I want. Do you have any suggestion ; also, when I have good shots , both methods give me same distance. Thank you in advance!

Any video or series of video that explain the “let the arms fall” concept you mentioned?

Shawn. Love this video and in our second Saturday session let’s focus on it.

Hi Shawn, I’ve been practicing with freeing up the elbows and going through the ball vs striking down at it with my shoulders. The swing speed has picked up a lot – drives are going 260 yards vs 230 before however with the irons or anything off the fairway, the contact feels like I’m thinning / topping the ball. Also, the club face rotates a lot in my follow-through because I’m using my elbows and hands to come through the ball instead of driving down the ground with my shoulder – any advice? Also, I had developed a tennis elbow from my prior swing – any advice on what may have caused it? Thanks a lot!

One of my new favorite videos from you. Wow. The visuals here answer a lot of tiny questions that have been in the back of my mind, hindering me from focusing on task. Now that I can quickly swat these questions away, I feel like I can really unlock the powers that I’ve learned in all your other videos. Thank you, Shawn!
