Cannot wait for anti pull series!!!

LOVE IT! Thank you 🙂

Hey Shawn, in the downswing it seems my arms are really outracing my chest and my trail arm is outracing my lead arm. Any tips to improve this?

Hey coach, I’ve been watching all your videos and working on my swing in the garage. I can’t seem to cast the videos to my tv in the garage. I googled it and it says it may be turned off by the creator. Is there a reason why it’s turned off? I’d like to practice the drills off the tv rather than my tiny phone. YouTube works great but maybe it’s because the Vimeo videos are behind a paywall? That’s the only thing I can think of lol

Hi Shawn,
so my question is regarding the woods and driver . My grip is strong with face slightly closed , All my Irons are consistently going in the direction of my intended target .(Great problem to have ! ) however this grip does not result in good contact & ball flight with the woods and driver ( mostly low over drawn shot shape ), so to correct this i do not close the face during grip and the ball flight and direction is on target consistently , so does this tell me to use 2 different grips ? or am i missing something in my swing when hitting the woods ?

I’ve always struggled w the backswing in your method Shawn. I ended up sort of using a diff backswing then releasing over the IP w momentum.

The feel of oily shoulders was what I was missing. Thanks for another gem.

I’m now feeling like the legs just start the back and the downswing. Envisioning that I’m in my follow through already, “watching” the club come back and just allowing my body to react to that is an incredibly freeing feeling.

When I look at my first swing I sent you and look at my current swing it’s night and day. So much more freedom. Still can get out of sequence sometimes but as long as I start from the ground up it all clicks!

Wow! This was a HUGE missing link. I didn’t have these boards so I just felt like my ankles were rolled in slightly so the weight was pushed to the inside of my feet, then I just felt like after I released that the club pulled me into extension vs both happening at the same time.

Wow! Can you play w that type of inside foot pressure feel / ankles rolled in slightly? This seems to really stabilize everything in the lower half and allows for maximum engagement of the legs?

Hi Shawn,
Over the last few weeks, been experimenting with
Ball position and
Where to keep my eyes.

Ball position I find I have always had the tendency to keep the ball forward in my stance, its only after learning your swing I have had the confidence of moving it back. For fairway woods more towards my inner left heel. Resulting in pulling left. A good round turns to a bad one with these pulls. Trying to gain confidence with the ball between center and the left heel. Specially off the Tee, with better results for now.

For irons (shorter ones 8,9,pw,sw) I am finding by keeping my eyes (just before I start my backswing) on a spot just ahead of the ball towards the target line / or IP, not only is there a repeatability in my shots which by the way are pure right from the word go but also the tendency to pull seems to have reduced greatly.

Still trying to figure out where exactly should I keep my eyes, if I keep them just a little right ( trying to feel that the club will go out) the ball starts there and stays there, while keeping it straight at target always ends up (no draw) left of the target.

I tried the axe drill, was a disaster, ended up taking such deep divots was afraid I might strike oil, so I discontinued. Sending you my latest videos tomorrow.
Thank you for all the guidance.

Shawn, did a session indoors. Is there a huge difference in hitting at the screen vs actually hitting out in the open.
Some of my numbers as far as distance is concerned,

My Driver outdoor carries 260 and rolls about 10 yards – 270 y
my 3w carried 230 and rolled around 10 yards – 240 y
and my 7w carrried 210 and rolled about 10 yards – 220 y
These are an average over a few days
but my indoor showed
Driver 275 and roll 25 yards,
3w 245y and rolled 20 yards
and 5w carried 235 yards and rolled 20 yards.

How accurate is the indoor vs outdoor.
Thanks

I am a right-handed golfer and finally playing with a very strong grip like Sav. Am I correct in saying that the knuckle of my right index finger is facing the ground when the club strikes the ball at impact? [email protected]

Hi Shawn,
I know in previous comments you mention 10-finger grip is every bit as viable as interlock or overlap. Is there any reason why most people don’t use this grip? To me at least it seems by far the most comfortable/natural (am a formal baseball player so could be some bias) but you don’t see any tour pros using it. Is there any kind of negatives to using it especially if I’m someone built more like Mu? Also fun fact I played baseball growing up with the MLB player you used, can confirm lots of power!

shawn i apologise for the randomness, but what shaft are you using in your irons?

would I be able use my c – no evil tool to determine whether I m sliding my center forward?

Hey Shawn! What’s a common reason for “drop kicking” the driver (often resulting in topped, low duck hooks)? I struggle with this at times and have a hunch that it has to do with trying to hit the ball on the way up, but too much.

I feel it is especially when I’m starting with the center of the club grounded in the middle of my stance as you do, since the low point of the club is touching the ground, it seems there’d be a small margin of error to not actually hit the ground.

I also suspect I may be either over tilting, or trying to see the “blur” as too much of a straight line back and through towards my intermediate point (but upwards), as opposed to an arc, which makes me manipulate too much and results in hitting the ground/drop kicking. Appreciate any insight!

Great confidence boosting/building video Shawn.
