So I guess my question is ….can I turn the face closed……then take my grip and then move into my stance without changing my grip……I do this even when I am hitting short pitch shots and I think it is working just fine…..or do I have the thinking corr3ct but need to fine tune at the range.
Thanks Shawn

Your teaching method has helped me with learning other athletic endeavours. Thank you 🙏

Hi Shawn,
Still struggle to hit draws. Either am too scared to go right of target. The ones which I think will draw go dead straight.
Other than that games improving on a weekly basis.

hi shawn, i bought the swing caddie via your site. i have no problem getting it to click on the highest setting (135 mph). but the fastest i can swing driver w/o a ball is around 107mph and with a ball around 98 to 100 mph. any advice or thoughts on this?

Sean the 1st 2 feet of backswing tug of war thing critical for me once I got used to that it is a different feel from what Ive been doing for 40 years. It is allowing me a fuller release keeping head back and watching the ball go straighter and eliminating the push getting feeling of blur going towards intermediate spot. I am really trying to get the feeling also of collecting the ball and full release. Anyway to make sure I am releasing in the right spot its hard to see? Or anything else you can suggest for me.

Hello Shawn, it hurts my neck somewhat keeping head down in back swing.

After watching several of these videos here on the premium site and dozens more on your you tube channel I have a question regarding the “intermediate target”. (Wasn’t sure where to post this exactly). I get the general idea of it and its purpose but after watching it seems a little unclear to me as to what you are lining the intermediate target up with exactly? Obviously when playing you cannot set a tee or other marker down(as you have noted) so you’d need to pick a bit of grass, an old divot, or something similar as the intermediate target but I’m a little confused as to what you line the intermediate target up with? Sometimes in your online lessons it seems you are lining the intermediate target up with the “actual target” while other times it seems you are lining up the intermediate target with the swing path? Which is it?

Maybe an example might clarify; I’m 150 out in the fairway to an easy pin right in the middle of the green. Just by coincidence there is an old divot about a foot in front of my ball that lines up exactly with my ball and the flag (middle of the green). Is that my intermediate target and I’ll swing slightly to the left or right (depending on whether I want a draw or fade) or is the intermediate target actually just to the left of that divot (if hitting a fade) or just to the right (if hitting a draw)?

My thought was the intermediate target is ALWAYS online with THE target and then you swing left or right of that depending on draw or fade but a few of your videos seem to contradict that, or at least that’s how it seems to me?

Can you clarify the intermediate target for me? Thanks

Hi Shawn. This spinning feel has really helped my compression and distance with both the irons and woods. It has also increased my strain level. Just seems like I have to swing harder at the bottom feels more like an 8 out of 10. Any drills/video suggestions to help with the strain while retaining the spin motion?

I’m trying to figure whether over the top is my issue, or why I keep slicing even short clubs. I try following the tips of face/grip relationship, intermediate point and so on. But to avoid the right spin, my blade has to be extremely closed and it will still start too much to the right. I cannot figure what the main issue is. Ideas?

Shawn,
What I love about your system is you say things then they hit me like 6 months later.

I never thought I had a stay w task issue / over the top issue until I realized I’ve been getting correctly setup then defaulting to the ball on 50% of my swings.

Door frame doesn’t really resonate with me. For irons if my miss tends to be in the thin side would sending divots over my IP left or right depending on chosen flight plan work?

For driver is it as simple as throw the club or flick the tee? I played the last few holes today really staying with my IP and my goodness what a difference. Full compression and freedom.

Can you “throw the blur” as a task? Tried some chips today really focusing on watching the blur as a way to stay anchored and it went VERY well. Making sure I see the blur track and letting the blur release me kept me super anchored. Suitable feel : task?

Do you think the snap is not felt because grip is too weak? Or do you think snap is not felt because release is happening more at the ball? More on snap please.

Hi Shawn, is there any task that is akin to casting a fishing rod (wrists hinged) albeit towards a direction that is away from target, before beginning the downswing? it’s just been a random feeling that has seemed to work for me on-and-off recently, just wondering if theres any merit in that “task”

Hi Shawn just joined premium. I am looking for basic videos on driver swing. I am doing pretty good with the irons following your direction, but having a garder time with the transition and downswing with the driver. Any suggestions. Thank you

When you say get the ground, do you feel that’s led by both legs? Or just the lead leg?
