Hi Shawn, how are you?

I want to revisit the drill of how you “toss up” the club when you start your backswing … I found that drill is extremely helpful and allows me to find my own tempo. When I get to the golf course, I often lose my tempo and revert back to my bad rushing habits. Can you point me to the right video(s) so that I can play back that particular drill again?

Cheers,
Tristan

Shawn, WOW your advice on watching this video had an immediate impact – the light bulb went on – I am surprised you did not see the flash in Quebec City 🙂 – thanks so much!!!!

How do you determine your stance width? Does it change with each club ?

Cut the grass, peel the carrot, plane the wood, chop the tree, hammer the door frame, peel the back bacon! Now the trick is focusing on one! Appreciate the video, Shawn. Always good stuff.

thank you shawn for this so nice promenade.the abandon of the arm club unit to the gravity is often hard to feel but to swing effortless is amazing.thank you for this shawn and all your videos

This drill helps overcome a lot of swing issues and I think it helps getting the backswing on the right plane? Can you explain why or how that is? thanks

Shawn, I may have a suggestion for those who, like me, can’t cheat their brain into seeing the ball as a dandelion (and see the ball for what it is: the object that I want to sling to that target). I’ve found that riveting my eyes on the bottom aft of the ball helps me stay in posture and focus on the task at hand: the feel of the club head releasing and pulling my shoulders out there towards my target. What do you think? I know that you always advise not to look at the ball.

让人百看不厌的博客，真的不是很多！

Great video Shawn, you make it look so easy! I really enjoy on how you present all your material.

Again, a fantastic video Shan!
Since I have started with golf I have been fighting with my early extension and overactive right arm and hand (maybe also influenced by time playing basketball intensively using the arm/hand all the time to manipulate the ball, especially the right hand or shooting). Your holistic approach and task/target oriented method of teaching helped me a lot and is in my opinion the only way to be able to get rid of this frustrating flaw.
Many thanks and greetings from Austria!

For distance control do you play around with choking down on the grip to take off yardage with a full swing not having to use Goldilocks? Or a combination of the two?

I have heard through others instructors that having loose wrist helps a lot with release and creating more clubhead speed . Is this your task based focus on their body part focus ?

G’day Shawn. New to Premium and I really appreciate your practical straight forward instruction helping amateurs to improve their golf. Everything is making sense, in most cases, however I would like some clarification on one point. I’m a lefty and have the over the top swing. I’ve watched heaps of YT vids on how to fix, change, manipulate etc this condition. I find those proposed changes end up causing me physical problems (back, shoulders in particular). I noticed from this video that the “blur” you refer to when planning to cut the stem also considered the path the swing should take to the intermediate point in preparing to throw the club. So my brain is now telling me all I need to do is configure this “blur” in the direction I want to throw the club in order to rectify the over the top condition I have. Hope that all makes sense.

Will this help me get rid of my slice, particularly with longer clubs or is their something else I can work on to have either a neutral or slightly in to out swing. Cheers mate.

Hi Shawn. This was awesome and I hope I can find more videos with Savannah. Why? Because I’m a lefty. I’m predominantly right handed apart from baseball. I kick a football with my left foot. Seeing Savannahs swing is very useful as I can take all the tips you offer the tight handlers but translating it visually into lefty use is not that easy. Really appreciate this one lesson video. Cheers Craig.
