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

Did you fill the divots behind the third hole?

Lol! It was all dirt! 😝

How does Goldielocks work with the side vision? You always say not to trust your side vision, but then getting the right “feel” on putts with it (regular shots as well).

What kind of door frame visual would you have with the driver for battering ram?

Shawn,
A couple of observations from an old Army guy. I went through the 1.0 and some of the other videos and was amazed at how much sense it makes. My golf buddies would say I am a bit of a “not normal” swing seeker. With your swing system, I am wondering if they are normal. Ha! I have been doing some of the drills for about 4 days or so, I took it to the course for the first time today. Shot an 80 on a course I normally shoot 84-88. Scoring wasn’t an issue as I put myself in a couple of bad spots and paid the price for that. I noticed a couple of things, 1-my back was not sore in the least after 18 holes, where it would normally. 2- the contact was flush on the numbers on about 95% of my swings, compared to my old swing at around 60%. Setting up the right picture was the one area I struggled with and for a few of my poor swings I noticed i reverted back to my old swing. I can’t thank you enough, golf was fun today and I suspect will be fun for the foreseeable future! Thank you a million times over! great Vlog! would have liked to see what you ended up with but 3 holes was great none the less. Cheers from Texas!

Really enjoying the various concepts… getting me on track. I notice however my follow thru is still inclined to move left and around, not so much up as Shawn exhibits. Might this be the tendency to use body first rather than free swinging arm “unit”.

Took a lesson last year and was repeatedly told that the left arm ( for right golfer) is not a “puller” and should start rotation just below shoulder. Wow, intuitively Shawns concepts seem too logical and don’t cause soreness or strain… Just feels odd to let it rip thru. Wonder why golf instruction spends so much time talking about moving and setting wrist positions at top and turning thru with “axis” tilt to hold club face square thru impact…..???

Looks awesome 👍 Just came back from the practice area. I was tuning up my douple pendulum action. We have been amazing weather here. +25C and sunny over week 😌 Not normal in this time. Now i was sitting my home and watching how effective douple pendulum action can bee in right hands 🤗

Shawn,
How would you describe your swing? Aggressive/passive downswing transition; fast/smooth tempo; late wrist cock release? I’m trying to find the right shaft for me and it’s hard because there aren’t any club fitters out here. My swing is identical to yours as I’m a student of your instruction, so your thoughts would be greatly helpful!

Shawn,

I’m struggling between the analogies of the football throw and pin the ball against the door frame when it comes to anti-manipulation. How are these two drills accomplished without a form of manipulation.

Thanks in advance,

Bull

How do you download the rhythm music? Says firefox cannot open?

Been struggling with ball position with my draw and looking for a little bit of confirmation on the feeling I’m getting . When I set up for my draw and pick where I’m gonna release through my intermediate point I visualize the door frame , the sole of the club cutting the stem and the low point in front of the ball creating a nice divot . After knowing my contact is good I’m picturing battering ram through the door frame with a release to the target but something feels off. It feels like I have to release my lag early and the ball starts on my target and draws away instead of starting right of my target . Also sometimes I’m hitting behind the ball , my suspicion is that my ball position is to far back for my draw does this sound right ? I try to do what you say and predict Based on my action to target and feeling instead of body parts but I feel some goldilocks is in need to remedy this just looking for confirmation.

Shawn,

I was looking forward to seeing your preshot routine that you use on-course – but may be thats the way a preshot routine should be?

Let me tell you where I am coming from. In your videos, you ask that we see the blurr as we feel the weight of the club swinging back and forth. That gives our mind a good reference of the ball path and feel. Thats great, thats on the range mat.

But how should we properly do this on-course? Now, here is my thought – there seems to be 2 places to do this on course – the first is like Jason Day, you warm up behind the ball and then you walk forward to the ball and then setup, hit the ball. Another word, you treat the strike area like a holy area.

The other way was to be like you’re at the range. You warm up next to the ball and then you step forward and set up. You dig up the area next to the ball and you pray you don’t accidentally hit the ball with the practice swing or part of the divot…

So…whats the “best practice” that incorporate some nice swing to warm up for the shot and then setup and keeping your target in sight? There are many “schools of thoughts” on preshot routine but I didn’t seem to find your side of the story…

So…I would love to see and hear your thoughts on how to incorporate all the practice feel, visualizing ball flight in a sensible preshot package. Thanks!

Great explanation Shawn. How should we balance throwing versus not focusing on body parts? It seems that the intention to throw will draw our attention to moving body parts. I know that I a missing something from your explanation. Could you please elaborate?

cheers,

Gordon
