Shawn, the email you sent out for this new video (2018 RQ Vlog – Part 2) does not work. You get a 404 error. I had to search your site for it.

It sounds crazy but I could watch on-course videos all day. Especially when the weather is not so nice here. Shawn, that was another amazing bunker shot. Your head moved forward on that last putt. Watch the dot on your cap. That is why you pushed it.
Your pace of play is still brisk despite lugging the camera and verbally describing your thought process. I would bet that in real time on your own your whole decision process is done within 2-3 seconds of walking up to a ball. Good stuff.

Been using the lead arm sword feel with predicting contact for the past few months and it is the best task for me since my tendency is to lose width and start the swing with my arms instead of gathering the weight of the instrument. I find it also helps me cement the feel of staying behind the release and I’m currently developing awareness of feel deeper through the ball. This one is so essential and I hope you do a future video on what your students learn from it as you teach it more.

Hi Shawn, can I ask about posture if you have a natural curvature in lower back. Also getting into posture seems OK. Struggle to get in right tilt, seems I can’t get right hand V to right shoulder. Won”t stay there. Any help will be great. Damian

Hey Shawn, that was a great video. I’m one of those that keeps regripping because I feel the V has shifted. This has helped me not do that. Yet to see if it works. Awesome explanation.

I find this putting method is really helping me. I like to always aim too far left and just work my way back until it feels right. I used to use the line on the ball but this speeds up play and feels better for me.

Shawn:
I am a right handed golfer that places my left thumb over the grip to the inside of of the club. When I moved the thumb straight down the shaft, It feels awkward but I noticed the ball 20 yards down the fairway and to the right side of the fairway.
Any suggestions for the awkwardness of the grip and ball on the right side of the rough?

Why hit a cut from tee of the par 5? Why not a draw, since you’re pretty confortable with both shapes?

SC,

This video has helped my find the missing piece in my swing. The super slow mode allows me to closely study your set up and I have compared it to mine. Wow, I was not set up low enough ! You and I are about the same build ( 6’1″)), I have long arms, legs and large hands. It takes some time for those extended parts to complete their task and by setting up too tall, I was really out of sync ! By studying your flexed knees and bent waist at set up, I have made similar adjustment and now feel body parts are all coordinated, total sync at top of back swing. And the results are amazing, way more consistent ball striking, effortless power, no more pulls caused by my torso out racing my arms etc.
Having real fun now, thanks Shawn !

Wish I could hit my 9 iron 150…

Hi Shawn, In your ball position video you are demonstrating an open stance for both a fade and draw. In many of your other videos you align your feet straight at the target for a draw. Can you please clarify the proper stance for a draw? Many thanks!

Hi Shawn, I’m working on a strong grip along with the videos and am wanting to make sure I get it right. I have my left hand to where about 3 knuckles show. I put my right hand along the left thumb on the lifeline. I use an overlapping grip, and I am finding that the second row of knuckles of the two right hand fingers on the grip line up with the second knuckle on the pointer finger of my left hand. Is that a good spot. Part of me is tempted to line up my knuckles like in baseball but that feels like a weaker grip.

Hi Shawn, for distance control, I practice the length of my stroke arc on the side before taking the position on the ball. This works better for me than deciding on the arc length at the very end. Is that what you recommend as well? Thanks

I absolutely love these! Seeing you talk your way through each shot is a great teaching moment. You have helped me in the last 3 months more than anyone in the last 3 years!

I was just wondering how far were you from the branch in the first shot? The camera made it look like a 9 or 8 iron would have been ok.
