I don’t I fully understand how to hit these shots. As a synopsis does it make sense that, bend your knees to feel balance take a practice swing feeling your task and that’s how you proceed? No need to tilt to match surface, or club up or down, or choke up on grip?

I went out a couple days ago, on last swing of the round I realized I was doing the opposite of Rory – had tilt then in swing set to neutral. Thanks again for this video, I’m proving to myself that I can improve if I just keep working on it!

When you mention Rory’s swing, do you suggest increasing the tilt between backswing and downswing in order to get more behind the ball? If yes, what would be the pivot point?

Shawn I’ve noticed that I sit back on my heels and not bent over much from hips. Can you give an image or video to watch?

Hi Shawn,
I am swinging at 104 mph with the driver, had switched to a 12 degree with a soft shaft, and am averaging 260 yards. The 12 degree has a lot of spin but I find the fairway way more often since this change but I get barely 7-8 yards of roll.
There guys who hit 235 and roll the ball to 270. Should I try getting a 9 degree or 10.5 degree driver?

Hi Shawn,
I notice on the fades in most of the videos we see you shots start at the target and go away, you have asked us to aim at target and feel the swing left of it and release there for the fade. Shouldn’t we be aiming a little left of the target too ? So that once it fades the ball comes to the target.

Hi Shawn, when using this drill should I have my weight towards my heel or evenly across the left foot?

excellent video, loved the interview and the insights.

Good God Shawn this is one of the most beautiful and excellent teaching videos I’ve ever seen in any venue or discipline! Masterful work!!!!!!!!

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.
