Hey Shawn, another follow up question on this. When I the PMD with the driver after a few 2-3 iterations i feel a nice pull on my shoulders and bottom out with a nice sweep of the grass but but when I start my driver swing backswing from a static position I don’t get that same feeling and tend to come down too steep. Any tips for getting that PMD feeling right away in the backswing?

Hi shawn,
I can totally relate to the student whose effort was 25 on 10.
When I swing effortlessly, within myself, I actually become an observer of my swing and of the impact and ball flight, the only way. But on a course I end up using so much effort trying to get the maximum distance (the longest I can hit with that particular club) on every shot, which results in straining and effort.
It is very much a mental issue but also one wants to swing really hard, even though knowing it leads to terrible cuts and tops or hooks, after the shot one realizes it, but its too late.
Have tried to inculcate a few practice swing before executing every single shot, hope that fixes this. I see the ladies on the Lpga take so many practice swings before their shots.

Hey Shawn, do you have a video that has an in-depth explanation on why in the chip shot we should place the ball further back in the stance? I kind of have an idea but would like to conceptualize it better. Thanks in advance!

So the waggle, ive noticed that when you do it Shawn you have fully turned your backside to the target and then arm club unit just then lifts to the top, right?

Hey Shawn!
New to your content and I’m already seeing great results. When it comes to the tilt, I notice my lower back getting pretty tight. I am a shorter guy, 5’8, would I need less of a tilt since I am shorter? Or have you seen this work without much tilt? If you have any videos to help with this subject, please point me in the right direction. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Shawn, Great video and amazing teaching. A senior golfer and coach Bob Cunningham in the US, just a few hours ago, has given a lot of credit to you for his learnings.

When I am doing the perpetual motion drill, I am not able to freely cut grass on the trail side of the ball. The club head seems to be falling where the ball is. Lead side is better. I am making sure that I am out of the way but somehow that is the feeling I get.

Shawn, this seemingly simple task of finding an aim point just beyond my ball as I prepare to execute a shot to a distant target is, to me, the most essential component of my pre shot routine. You’ve touched on the aspect so many times in your teachings that the most important club in your arsenal is your brain. I have found it very calming to know that the intermediate point I select when looking from behind is precisely where I want the club path making contact with the ball. The pre shot routine/intermediate point has been the biggest contributor to lowering my scores, from driving to putting.

This is it

Hi Shawn, have a couple of questions, first, when the hands fall past the door frame and you want the club face to squeeze the ball is that happening because of gravity or are you actively extending your arm to squeeze the ball? Second, at around 17:27 you are doing some practice swings and you don’t feel it’s truly through the doir frame until the last one. How are we supposed to know what through really feels like? You are a pro and the WIG grandmaster so you know exactly what it’s supposed to feel like but for us amateurs i don’t know what is truly through the doir frame and what is truly releasing out there to the target.

Hi Shawn, I keep struggling with the low point of my swing. I have a tendency to hit it fat. You are suggesting swinging back and forth in order to get a feel for the low point. When I swing my arms-club unit, hanging from my sternum, back and forth, how can the grass divot I am cutting out once extend from the middle of my stance to the left, then again to the right. In other words: should the sternum be moving?

Hi Shawn, for a fade should the trail leg be ahead of the lead leg, as the swing should be left of the intermediate point. Or should the trail leg be behind regardless of the draw or fade.
Regards

Hey Shawn!
Want to say thanks again for all the wisdom. I previously commented about the tilt and my lower back. I’ve been working on things and I am improving. I’ve noticed things work out better when I have the ball more forward in my stance. It feels more natural and I seem to have better feels. Is there any issue with this?

Hey Shawn, been working on pitch shot with my simulator and every single shot seems have a bit of hook spin on them. The direction is pretty good and I’ve tried making sure the back-swing matches the direction. I’m not sure if i’m just being overactive with my hands or what the cause could be. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Shawn, I love the “ball on a string” analogy, when I imagine my clubhead being the tennis ball and working in a vertical circle it make wonders! It helps me to get a more upright backswing and to use gravity more
Do you have other videos about this topic/analogy ?
Thanks a lot Benjamin

Hi Shawn, I recently re-joined your premium channel. I left because I would over-watch your videos and I felt I would confuse myself with different tasks whilst playing and one of the issues I had was I would loose the ball left. I got a lesson and was able to hit fades on command. The knowledge that I acquired from watching your videos enabled me to do that so quickly. Thank you for explaining things so clear.

Interestingly, I have been doing a similar drill in my pre-shot routine for a while which I thought worked to great effect, however doing this way added 25-30 yards to my driver on a very cold day. So I wanted to stop by and say thank you!

With iron shots I found that I am drawing the ball where as usually I’d be hitting little fades. (Again gaining a bit of distance but struggled in the early holes, towards the end I didn’t fight the draw and hit some great shots hitting one less club) I will watch the release update video as suggested in the video.

You also referenced a video about stepping and sending divots out to the picture – I was unable to find it?

Aside from only thinking about the target and perhaps one task do you have any other tips?

Thank you once again for all you do.

Liam from the UK!
