Hi Shawn, thanks for this foundational video. Is there any benefit from the body turn beyond what’s needed for a free armswing? To throw the club the farthest I feel more of an increased squat than increased body turn; but I wonder if more swing speed can come from the catapult return of an increased body turn in balance (feet together drill).
Everyone has a perception as to how much they turn vs how much they squat etc…
The key here is to be able to throw the club with POWER AND EASE towards the direction you want to start the ball.
Thanks, Shawn. Focus on “body positioning” tends to rear its ugly head occasionally. I hope to always remember that “focus on the action to target” rules! Thanks.
I think I heard you mention in another video that pitch shots should be draws. If so, why is that? My stock shot is a fade, but can draw with pretty good consistency. Wondering if I should convert those wedge shots to a draw.
I literally just signed up for the premium channel trying to figure out where to begin. I’ve just started playing golf again (haven’t played since I was 20; am 30 now) and noticed soreness in my lead hand (left; right handed clubs). I think I might have the same trouble as Ray with loosening of the grip, causing injury, and further having me skull/top my irons to prevent said soreness/injury.
With that being said, within the first 30 minutes of being a premium member, I already can appreciate these golf lesson videos because I can definitely see myself in your students’ shoes!
The best thing to do is look at the video called “predict contact”
You ate letting the club release you into the picture; it is not your job to make those positions of release happen. Shawn
Great visual with the center line on the screen combined with an intermediate line. I have an alignment rod I bought at Home Depot. Hopefully, they will let me use it at the indoor facility nearby. Not sure if I missed something discussed previously, but did you eliminate your starter move?
Just joined premium recently, cannot wait to play golf ( bad back off my old swing) l just know that this
going to work. Everything you say makes total sense. Thank you Shawn.
Shawn I disagree with your strategy on this hole. I think you would do better more often by hitting the green even if it means a tricky down hill put. If you were to play ten shots from the bunker and ten puts from the green you will find yourself scoring better from the green option.For my way of thinking your miss should be from the green rather than from the bunker unless you need a birdie on 18 to win. Thanks for all the good info can’t wait for the snow to melt to implement it and lower my handicap.
Hi Shawn. I would love you to produce this exact same video content of working the ball showing grip. Club face how far closed The arc on the ground and flight scope etc but show us with the driver only?
Hi Shawn, first of all, thanks for everything you made on golf !!
I have a question regarding grip; when I see this video, it looks like your left hand is pretty neutral on the grip isn’t it ? Whereas it is teaching that having a strong grip is better (with the left hand more inside the club). Did I miss something here please ? Can you explain a little bit more please ? Can you also explain more in detail the difference in the grip when you want to do a fade or a draw? Thanks a lot for your time and help !! Laurent
You are welcome Laurent! The key here is everyone is different! The goal is that you must be allowed to fully release THROUGH TO THE TARGET and never worry about having to square the clubface. So if you feel the need to close the face manually through impact, you are either too weak in the grip or too open in the club face (same issue!) or a bit of both; AND OR you are not staying centered behind the ball through impact and are not anchoring the swing properly. Our latest videos on the consistency series is huge on that.
So, a nice centered and anchored release to target, see how the ball flies, make the adjustment in the club face and repeat! Stay with your shots, super important; the grip- lub relationship ALLOWS YOU to stay with the shot.
Hi Shawn, thanks a lot for your feedback. I think you are right, one of my issue if that I don’t stay centered behind the ball through impact..so my compression is not so good. Thanks again for your videos
Shawn I watched Cure for Hooks and Pushes, and you talk about the trail elbow clearing, Have you noticed that it is easier to clear the elbow since you dropped all the weight. Reason I ask is I have lost 30 plus pounds and trying to get to my best weight, and I am having an easier time clearing. I have always been told since starting this game 18+ years ago from every Pro or great Am player the thinner you are the easier it is to clear the body in the swing.
I thought you sounded like you had a cold or flu, in the Youtube Fix over the top video. Hope you are getting better. Can’t wait to see you in Florida, I left a Question on that fore mentioned video on Youtube that video maybe one of the best explanations ever on alignment! Really cleared up a big mystery for me on why I was not able to clear body out of the way, and blocking shots!
Had that “I get it moment “ on the range yesterday, my draws and fades where working great but felt that the strain was high and intensity was low . at the top of the backswing I let the club naturally change direction with gravity before my downswing and WOW . Strike quality, whip , intensity all in abundance. It feels like a second of slow motion at the top . The football analogy is brilliant also thanks Shawn .
