Starting with peck movement is great for me. Letting my arm unit fall controls my speed.
I also keep my eyes focused on the back of the ball. I feel this focus keep me on direction.
I saw this contine focus on the back of the ball in one of your other videos. When the ball doesn’t go where I expect it to go, I know I lost this focus.
Thanks

Shawn are you seeing a contact focus that restricts the Dr.’s head and shoulder rotational freedom forcing a cutoff follow through resulting in the head chasing the club head instead of rotating around the sternal notch???

Wonderful video! Must compliment you both for a excellent presentation. Adjusting the Doctors takeaway made all the difference then everything looked rhythmical.

I was just about to send you an inquiry about finding the right transition. Then you posted this video. I have always suspected that my ‘grabby’ transition was causing all sorts of issues. Especially at impact. All the positions looked good, I had decent club head speed and sometimes hit decent shots BUT impact just did not feel right. (for both full shots and short shots) Impact was quite often ‘clanky’. Of course I would occasionally take an easy swing hitting the ball a country mile and not truly understand what was going on. You mentioned in this video “starting a mini kinetic chain” and then showed the image of a club swing from your fingertips just falling back and forth. This created an ‘Aha’ moment. When I let a club swing from my fingertips, my brain could see and feel the natural transition created by gravity. You have to actually do this to get it. I think am getting closer. 🙂 Looking forward to the next video.

Great lesson! Well worth the cost of admission, as always. Thanks Shawn!

Shawn,
I’d like your opinion of putting while looking at the hole. It seems that if I trust my line and let
momentum and gravity take over control of the stroke- then putting while looking at the hole is just
the ticket! Have you tried this method? Any views on this method?
Thanks.

I just watched and oldie but goodie of yours from 2007 Chicken Wing across the line, the club you use with the dowel extended to help with chipping you use it to show the arms in front and it going down the target line. I have a similar device that attaches to my clubs point is after our class in Melbourne, FL. I was having trouble with the back swing being across the line and wrist hinge, this video and the one with the WRX Backswing wrist hinge early or late really helped put this in a better perspective.

Shawn,
My approach to an uphill shot is to play the ball in the “normal” position away from me, and then choke up on the club. Looks like your approach is to keep the same grip on the club, but to play the ball farther away from the body. Can you comment please?
Thanks.
Bob

Hi Shawn, your comment to Dr. Jeremy about keeping your awareness on the shoulder getting out of the way got me thinking. On a full backswing; feeling that you are pulling your arm/club unit towards your release with your lead shoulder is good or bad? The end results is a complete turn of my upper body with my head staying behind the ball and my arm/club unit just being along for the ride. I can’t say anything about my ball flight or contact since I’m just swinging my golf clubs on a carpet in my garage. I have a mark on it for the ball.

Thank you for all those great videos
Eric

Sean you have a problem, or I have a problem with the rhythm Series. Because the first and second video stops before two minutes Have finished on my phone. Do you have a problem or do I have a problem ?Please reply.

I think this might be the drill I need. Even with the driver, I get a ton of backspin. My current assumption is that I have too much of a descending blow…

Hi Shawn,
From the starting position It looks like you place the clubhead about a half an inch to an inch behind the ball when hitting a fade. Is that correct?

I have trouble hitting a fade. It either goes straight where I aim or I double cross.
When I double cross I guess I’m defaulting to the ball instead of the target.

Where can I get the music/beats for training?

Hey Shawn great job as always! I have a question about backswing and velocity. If you want to any club to its maximum distance is you velocity at that point of somewhat strained velocity? I understand that the timing of the release is critical to distance with less strain, just looking for clarification if getting maximum distance from any club still means using maximum velocity.

My apologies if this is not clear.

Love my subscription, your approach has made this game so vey enjoyable!

Thanks in advance,

I love watching these lessons. Nobody breaks down the intricate details like you. I was hitting a little heavy, I watched the lesson and realize I wasn’t throwing enough now all is well, until the next thing, ha ha ha. Winter rust. Good to know you’re there.
