Is this the feeling/sensation we will be looking for to swing and cut the stem in the direction we want to start the ball ? Stationary walk?

Congrats on getting on GW so well deserved. Watch it a lot will enjoy it even more now!

Thanks Shawn. The slow mo’s are great. Enables a very clear view of the hand action and release at and then through impact.

Hi Shawn
Question about the grip and club face. I have what I consider a strong grip, both hands rotated to the right, but I have my hands forward at set up which makes the face square. I slightly close it for a draw and slightly open it for a fade.
Is this ok or do I need to adjust hand position to hand straight down and grip it Another way?
Thx!

Thanks for the summary. Cool to just watch without any sound. Really get the feel…

SHAWN,

I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A CANVAS / NET IN THE BASEMENT TO PRACTICE FULL SWINGS WHILE VIEWING YOUR LESSONS…

WHAT IS THE DISTANCE YOU USE BETWEEN THE HITTING MAT TO THE CANVAS BACKSTOP ?

THANKS,

ELIO

Would you ever use this technique with any wrist hinge for longer chips or if there’s longer distance you can’t get to without wrist hinge you would just do a soft pitch technique? There’s a definite gray area/distance for me between the two. Does one provide more advantage over the other like spin/control/consistency?

This is great. I did this out-loud over the weekend killing time during a slow round. My friend said, “you play a lot better when you talk to yourself, why don’t always do that?”.. good question.

For me, maybe a better approach to trying to swing with no swing thought?

As long as I can stay with feelings over placement. “Do I feel I can go that way” vs “is my hand in the right spot to go that way”. a very fine line for me..

I also replace “Throw the club” with “Fall Up”. That video is money.

thank you for this video which really help me to find my true goldilocks for each part if the swing

Shawn, can you speak to grip size. I am 6’2” and 210#, I have always used a midsize grip but as I have aged (70) and developed some arthritis in my hands I wonder about an oversized grip. What are your thoughts?

What happens to the swing path and what will the release feel like when you default to the ball on a draw with an iron ?

Miss you too. Still practicing WIG and enjoying the results on the course. Scoring is so so and still need to get the driver reliable. Iron play is good. Short game and putting coming on well and more consistent, just not enough time on the track. Watch those carbelicious meals in QC. J.

Hi Shawn,

I just have a question about the exercise of the inverted club (the sword). When I do the right hand gesture (I play right-handed) I feel a great release towards the target. It’s the same with the left hand. The trouble is that when I put both hands together I clearly feel the energy being released at ground level and not towards the target. How can I do to harmonize the movement of both arms?

Thank’s

It might just be my perception of the “filmed” event sequence, but it appeared as if Donna was “steered” in to the I200’s very quickly, and never did really find her comfortable draw stock swing???

I am actually excited to show this video to my wife. We were talking on course the other day about how we can make smooth flowing effortless release practice swings, and then suddenly try to “hit” the ball when the actual shot comes. My wife’s practice swings are so good (they actually make me jealous) I told her she could break 100 easy if she just swung the same way after she addressed the ball. Donna’s swing here in this video is smooth and looks totally effortless. Absolutely terrific !! What a great example to show my wife. (And I need to watch it a few more times myself !!) As far as this fitting, I actually thought even the sound of her strikes with the 200’s were more solid than the others.
