Loved that session. The putter weight really helps to trust the momentum. The only thing I have done since is Goldilocks over the ball to get the feel for the weight then through the intermediate point/along the line on the ball into the picture…Thanks Sensai…
Good stuff! Apply this Goldielocks to the amount of momentum (weight of the intact arm-clud unit swinging around the sternal notch+gravity and mini kinetic chain) to the cut though the dandelion stem in relation to the landing spot for the chip shots! 🙂
At home it is easy to practice chips, to landing targets or over pillows, and putts. As per Attention and Motor Skill Learning, once the setup and predictable swing fit the picture, my only repetitive thought is not positional but a focus out there and creating the tempo to let the weight of the arm-club unit deliver the strike.
I have been trying this after listening to Shawn’s audio as well but in spite of seeing the ball going into the hole at a particular speed, I find myself short. The greens are rather slow. How to factor in that.
On very slow green, take a bit more break out and see the ball bounce up off the top of the hole and then drop straight down; that should be a lot of fun actually! 🙂
Will try like that. BTW have you seen our country man Shubankar Sharma play so well in the WGC and now in New Delhi European Tour. He hails from where I live.
This happened to me in a tournament about 3 weeks ago. At the 13th, I was putting for eagle and the caddy pulls me aside and says, birdie here will bring us to 4 over – so in my mind, i already finished with a 76 on the card. Ended up three putting the 13th – which infuriated me – double bogeys on the 14, 15, 16 and 17. Par on the 18th.
This is something to keep in mind – next time I’m in that situation again.
Great video shawn. Can you clarify where we aim the club face for the draw or the fade?
If I’m playing a fade and i align myself to where I want the ball to start, is my club face supposed to be square to the target? Or square to where I am aligned?
For a draw, I align myself to where I want the ball to end, play the ball behind center, get behind the ball and swing/release towards where i want the ball to start – but is my club face at address squared up to the target? Or to the path where I want the ball to start?
No on both counts fornthe club face Sandy! Yes on alignment and ball position. Now if you set up with everything except club face and just goldie locks that; you will find the right one; REMEMBER THAT THE FACE AT IMPACT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE FACE AT ADDRESS; IT WILL BE MORE OPEN! See the prediction video on premium; Shawn
Was out yesterday and consistently missed 4 ft putts. After watching this I realized I was manipulating my putting stroke and moving my putter but not my body after setup. Will try again today with these tips in mind.
thanks

Yes! Once you are set up; and you have made the prediction that when you LET MOMENTUM ROLL THE BALL TOWARDS THE HOLE, that it will roll in; then it is OUT OF YOUR CONTROL and you just LET IT ROLL. This is how you get to see if it was you (very rare) or YOUR READ (99%) 😝😂😜
Hi Shawn,
at address position you place the head of the driver about 3-4″ behind the tee but the handle stays on the medial side of your femur. Is it just a part of the prediction or for a specific reason?
Thanks a lot
Helmut
Down and across will lead to toe shots for sure; that has a lot to do with loosing focus before or during the swing! You must stay all the way through the tip of tee into the direction you want to start the ball; have a full preview of the shot ready before you begin! (see the blur of the clubhead passing through the tip of tee and see the low point of the blur in the right place!
Shawn
The way we achieve this: THE TASK IS: I am getting ready to use my ball on a string to deliver the arc of the swing through the tip of the tee in the direction you want to strat the ball. So I am placing my ARM_CLUB unit in action on the arc and I am in a dynamic state of mind ready to deliver my task.
The result? You seeing what you see. However, if you try to copy my set up and use your PERCEPTION TO DO SO, you may be getting yourself into a bit of …trouble! 🙂
Ah got you.
But in your video with Savannah Meyer-Clement (unboxing the new Driver ) you “correct” her address position a little in the face on view though just she may know her dynamic state of mind to be ready to deliver her task.
I just want to follow a few rules that help me out with my Driver troubles😉: hitting a little more down than up on the ball and more toewards than in the middle of the clubhead…..
Pretty frustrating since years though I tried a lot.
By the way: when do you start over with videos in Quebec?
I am truly taken aback after watching part 4. Absolutely unbelievable to see how much levitation is helping the good doctor! That second driver swing when he switched to a draw, WOW talk about smoked. I felt the power behind that strike through the pc monitor!!!!
Love how everything falls into place with the kinetic chain when you wait for it! I still struggle at waiting for the levitation often, but love the result when I do. Need to keep reinforcing the levitation feel as you so eloquently put it. Amazing stuff Shawn, thank you as always!
Dude!! That just means I need to work at this drill more!! 😀👍
It is something that I have struggled with my whole life because of how aggressive my earlier years of golf were; now with the Henrik Drill and this drill, things are getting better and the feelmthrough the shot is sooo distinctive when you do it right!!
Wow, I just became a member and I’m very impressed with the quality of the videos and love the two angle view. I have a problem with not dropping the right shoulder at the begging of the down swing. I’m going to keep watching this and really get this ingrained in my memory back and take that to the range in a few weeks if the dam snow ever get melted!!
Very good you guys; great comment by kurt! You will realize as you continue that having a specific task will take care of your “body part patterns” without thinking about them; keep watching and let the little epiphanies come to you! 🙂
Hey j67451, I may be wrong, but I think focusing on anything like your right shoulder means you are not letting the arm/club unit do what it does naturally. Just REALLY FEEL the weight of the arm/club unit swinging on your intended line without manipulation.
Great back swing series thank you Shawn and Dr. John. I could see myself in Dr.John’s “almost” swings. Your video instruction has been instrumental in improving my consistency. I have been playing for a year now and trying to break 90 and reduce my handicap to around 18 from 23( my goal by the end of summer in the Southern Hemisphere) .
Awesome Brian!
Say hello to John for me!
We did one in my yoga for golf series with Chantal; forgot which episode though but we do breathing in each episode; start with episode 1!
Interesting video. I’m having trouble understanding the grip pressure that you spoke about.. If we apply that much pressure to the grip wouldn’t that inhibit the release and rotation of the club????? I just learned why my divots were always a bit deeper on the far side of the divot. I had no idea about the toe of the club being slightly up off the ground. I’ve always been trying to Have club laying level on the ground. Thanks I just singed up yesterday as Par level. After one day I’m upgrading to the Premium membership. .
Amazing when the G-Forces take hold in the swing how they release the arm club unit like snapping a whip!
It is just to prove a point though; let the flavour of the task dictate the grip pressure; lie, grass length etc…
This video locked up on my iPad Air at 3:37. Waited several minutes would not start again. This never happened on youtube. This was my first video to watch on premium. Not a good start.
