Great work Shawn – physics in motion, and based on the somatotype of the student, rather than some arbitrary ‘best position’. Could it be any simpler. As always – thank you.

Another great lesson Shawn! Definitive golf instruction at its best. I had a bit of a rough day yesterday with my chipping practice on some wet grass – until I remembered to open my club face up by 10 degrees or so… dohhh (Homer Simpson sound effect)😖
Thanks again.

When you throw farm hammer or make long chip body is fully moving away and arm triangle stays same. Also in fullswing body move is same but offcource arms are loading and unloading. My question is how can you use same body action and still use different arm actions to get long chip or fullswing?

Hi shawn, I still think that colin has a tendency to lean too much on to his left especially on the upswing, in doing so, attacking the ball instead of releasing through the ball. Would he do better if he adopted your head turn and tilt?.. maybe he’ll get that feeling of going through and going through more shallow? Just an observation shawn!
keep up the good work shawn.

Hi Shawn, hope you are well!

On the topic of the lovely anatomical snuff boxes, is it a wrong move if I consciously hinge my wrists early in the takeaway instead of letting the club weight hinge them at the top? I have been having issues feeling the wrist hinge with a wide takeaway specifically with my driver and woods, and to some degree with my irons.

When I hinge them consciously, I still feel a pretty wide takeaway and feel like I can whip through the tip of the tee and go to my target, but when I try to go as wide as possible along the ground before the club lifts upwards, I tend to top the ball or severely hit it off extreme toe and get an extreme slice. I am trying to work that expansiveness into my swing so I can get that extra carry with my drives but it seems like I have too much tension in my grip and forearms that might be preventing the hinge of my wrists naturally… What are your thoughts about an early wrist set? I remember you making a video on this topic but I can’t seem to find it. Thanks as always!

What a great video. Thanks Shawn,

See this is what confuses me. In this video you are swinging the arms in an across the body swing but in other videos you swing the arms up and down. Which is it? My take is you don’t stand and let your arm fall to the side. That is not the way the arms move. You place your arms in front of you and let them fall. This is the way they should move or am I wrong? Confusing video.

This is really sinking in now Shawn. Here’s by dilemma…left versus right side. If I focus on whipping the club through with my left side…it’s a slashing of the sword feeling. But if I focus on the right side, I feel a very powerful baseball swing. Which is it that you feel?

When you are keeping your centre of gravity between the arches of your feet should you be focusing on keeping the sternal notch (centre of swing ) in front of the ball so you get compression then divot after the ball ? Or mainly just focus on keeping your centre of gravity between the arches of your feet ?

Just looking for a clarification on the release of the throw . When you throw clubs indoors it’s at specific targets that are around waist to chest high. (This is usually where I feel the release in the throwing the club and my golf swing )When you went out doors to throw the club the first one was at that height but when you went to throw father the release seemed much higher . In the golf swing when using the task of creating more Clubhead speed(throwing club farther ) will the release feel higher ?

great to hear your thought processes as you face on course situations Shawn. Looking forward to more of the same please.

cheers,
Gordon

My shot making has improved since I started concentrating on throwing the club to my target.
The way I express it is “the golf swing is a throwing motion”.

Hi Shawn,

Just for clarification..if I use a strong left hand grip with 2 or 3 knuckles, should I still close the face at address…or is this something I have to experiment with to find what works for me to throw it to the target.

My other issue is I can use your method to fade a driver or iron easily. However, I just can’t seem to get the draw going even though I close the face and play a little back.

Love your videos !

My first video and already I am hooked..

Hi Shawn, I recently been playing a course with thick fairway rough and found myself with poor contact with the ball as the rough grabbed my club. Do you have any suggestions for this type of shot? Thanks, Larry De Biasio
