Hi Shawn, as you know ball focus and trying to control the shot causes problems, steady head and eyes on ball promote this almost freeze and poor out of the way turns. Since using your blur setup I feel confident in the swing path and setup and, here’s the kicker, the eyes see the ball as center BUT the brain “sees” the target out there and swings to it. Fascinating process. Split mind. Cool stuff. It works.

Shawn,

Hey first can you send me one of those GC Quads, that looks fun? HaHa

Two, I have a strange “feeling” in my trail hand on the takeaway (I am left handed).
I feel like I am doing a curl with my left hand, which allows me to throw the club towards my target. If I do the hammer drill with my trail hand, this is a similar sensation.
So to be even clearer I feel like I am in Flexion with a little Radial Deviation.

Seems really backwards, but I am smacking the crap out of it and where I want it to go.
If I get a second, before winter destroys it, I will send a video.
Am I crazy?

I STARTED OUT LATE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYING AND PLAYED OFF AND ON THROUGH
A PRO RODEO TOUR OFF AND ON. WATCHED GOOD GOLFERS COMPRESS THE BALL
REALLY NEVER GOT IT UNTIL AFTER I WATCHED A FEW OF YOUR VIDEOS. I DID ROTARY SWING
DARRELL KLASSEN, MIKE MALASKA , BOUGHT EVERY GOLF FIX I COULD FIND, I ALWAYS HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE WEIGHT SHIFT
FOR A WHILE I EVEN JUST TRIED TO JUST STAY ON MY LEFT FOOT .. JUST GOT A SAY THANKS
TO YOU FOR THIS VIDEO . LIFE AND GOLF IS JUST EASY NOW NOT THINKING ABOUT THE WEIGHT
SHIFT,. I AM A 13.6 NOW AND I CAN SEE IT IS GOING TO CHANGE …GET TO PLAY NEXT WEEK IN KAUAI WITH MY SON AND REALLY LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE SKINS GAME THANKS, A BUNCH SHAWN !

Shawn, my friend, I am back and getting ready for my winter work. I had some video of my swings and I have the exact same problem…flying right elbow, throws club across the line and open. I played some really good golf this past year, but was letting my right are
M break down and using my arms and shoulders to generate power.

I am making the switch to single length irons and refocusing on the effortless whip to the target…this video reminded me of our session in Chicago and can’t wait to get on a simulator to re-remember this move. Great video. Russ

bonjour shawn est ce que ton stance est open au chipping ??

bonjour
que penses tu du grip ten fingers
le conseilles tu ???

I dont play hockey but watched the Capps win the Stanely Cup. I LOVED the leverage idea that hockey players use. So, I want that same feeling with irons right?

NIce to see you guys together again! 😉

Shawn is a beast!! How fortunate we are to have access to such a wonderful teacher/mentor/sage.

This drill gave me the sensation that force on the handle causes the wrist hinge opposed to gravity. Am I missing something?

Speaking of club head blur, Cameron Champ has some blur going on. Wow. Impact sounds like nothing I ever heard before. His technique is right out of your text book: He freely turns the body on the back swing. No manipulation at all. Everything is geared to be released to a target. For trouble shots, he talks about creating a picture…… Your phone is going to be ringing off the hook!
You have been teaching the blur technique for some time now. It works very well for me. I also use it for putting. ‘See the blur on the line you want. Feel the distance. Lower the machine. Let it go.’ I have the higher handicappers in my league using it for putting. A lot of their nonsense on the green went away.

Hi Shawn. I just realized that the way you teach – is the way we should PLAY. Whereas there are other teachers (who are also excellent ones) who teach the way we should PRACTICE.

What I find interesting here is you are teaching us to PRACTICE the way we should PLAY. Target focused. Less on mechanics. More on feel.

Another great video here!

Thank you, Shawn! Things are coming together for me 🙏🏻 Your tennis and shot put analogies are awesome!

Shawn,

As always, you know I’m a fan of your stuff but I have noticed something about grip pressure versus wrist hinge and I am not sure I’ve ever heard you bring this up. I use a strong grip as you know and I hold the club firm. So during practice swings my firm grip is fine, feels good, all synced up. ACU on plane, everything moving but………..

When I move in to the ball, with my brain target oriented, inter point picked, ect,. I believe in my mind I’m gripping the club with the same firmness but I have found I’m over doing it. When I over do the pressure, it!basically tenses all muscles from triceps, biceps, forearms and hand. The tris/bi’s I don’t mind but the forearm down cause a major malfunction. Too much grip pressure will lock your wrists up. It will lead to an improper hinge on the way back which obviously is going to ruin the shot.

This is something I am assuming. If you grip the club too firm, you lock your wrists down due to tensing the muscles that run though that area and although they may hinge it is far from in sync and fluid and a full hinge.

So the questions are:

Does too firm bind the wrist hinge?

If it doesn could you address it in a video or point me to a video?

Seems if you don’t have a video on that exact topic and it is a real malfunction, many many many will benefit from the explanation.

I love Hogan’s ACU when it comes to the arms. Forearms and forward side of the elbow facing the sky (elbows pointing at hips), doing this with a strong grip is easy considering I literally rotate the face square at address and this puts my arms in the Hogan recommended position. To me it takes any slack out of the AÇÚ and allows for an opportunity to limit a flaw.

I just joined this channel and none of the videos are not working. Is this a problem in the whole system.
