Great video.

1. My club face is super closed at address as compared to yours. I understand the grip club r/ship or matching it to the swing, had been very regimented with closed face, gonna goldilocks it.
2. also I want to start raising my front heel during back swing like the way you all do. You told me to do so during vid analysis and I tried but ended up swaying or gouging at the ball. As I have gotten better think its time to revisit.

Hi Shawn I had a breakthrough today at the golf range. For some reason I played with hand position at setup and I found that when I go for a draw and have my hands closer to centre but still in front at setup I draw the ball easier and more, with all clubs. And I was striking them so clean. Is there a video about this? Now when I fade I set up with the hands further in front like I normally did as that’s how they sit with your setup when your heads behind the ball. Is this right do you think? What are your thoughts?

Hi Shawn,
have realized it takes time and patience to build a good swing.
I have managed to find tasks for my Fw, Hybrids, wedges and to an extent with the driver and putter. They are my go to anchors when over a shot.

Not so with irons. Some days I feel I can do no wrong and some days just come away frustrated.

One of my first comments I wrote on one your youtube videos, that your hinge is so apparent during your back swing and mine I cannot feel it as had been taught to take the club straight back on a rail track.

Ever since I saw this video, “Hinge after 8 and re hinge after 4”. Combined with grass shavings to the direction or bottom of club cutting grass left or right of IP (this is most imp) has been my light bulb moment in the irons.

Two days of practice and a round of golf today, EVEN hitting my 4 iron flush consistently.

It has also increase my distance, 8 iron 165-170y with a majestic ball flight.

What I am struggling with :-

1. Earlier I was hitting big draws with medium ball flight. Now soft draws but many shots go high and true but start and stay right of target, beautiful shots but 10 yards right of the IP. Experimenting with club face open and closed.
2. Re- hinge, as I did not hinge during back swing ( if I did it happened without me being aware of it), my focus is on hinging after 8 ( finding my sweet spot) now either I can remember to rehinge or cut grass shavings in the direction right of IP (for a draw).

If I concentrate on rehinging, I start the ball left and hit a draw, but 10-15 yards left of target , and if I concentrate on grass shavings, ball stays right basically the shot I described in 1. point.

Hey Shawn, loving the premium site and the progress I’m making. One thing I’ve noticed with the driver is that i am really struggling with moving my upper body and head forward to start the driver downswing. I’ve been trying to focus on throwing the club out to the target and no strain at the top and it helps at times but it’s been years of this bad habit and its hard to break. Any advice on a set of drills I can do to unlearn this bad habit. I think i associate power with lunging forward instead of just unwinding around my head. Its almost like a need a better trigger to start the downswing that keeps me behind the ball but still feels powerful.

Hi Shawn, I joined up yesterday. I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your teaching and your concepts… not to mention yours and Savy’s swings! My fiancé just started golfing a couple of weeks ago, and we are both going to go all-in on your material to start her off on the best possible path. Savy has inspired her greatly :).

I’m currently about a 13 handicap… keen to go low with your guidance! Will be in touch soon for some 1 on 1 lessons and video analysis for both of us.

Hi Shawn,
this is the best video I have seen on the grip and what is suppose to happen as in the purpose of the grip.The real nugget for me is the right hand grip being almost at a 45 degree angle but i am struggling with the 2 pads analogy. can you help me with this.
Regards
Billy

Hi Shawn.

I’m a beginner (less than one year) struggling most with thin/topped shots, pulls to the left, and feeling tense/tight when swinging (swing thoughts, overthinking)

Which videos would you most recommend to remedy those issues?

Hey Shawn. This is likely the most important video for skill acquisition. Just knowing you don’t have to be in “perfect positions” clears the mind for improvement towards the task!

Pretty close to a “How to practice” video, much appreciated. Would love to see more on that

Hi shawn, someone pointed out my shoulders face way left at setup. When I see you you are closed but your shoulders dont look closed like mine do.
Why I ask is my consistency is lacking , lots of pushes that don’t come back or pulls. Happens more with drivers or FWs.

wow, that is brilliant

Loved the video Shawn. Is there a routine video that one can follow. If I get an hour everyday, and I want to hit darts with my irons, I still end up practicing my pitch shots and chips and hit a few iron shots.
If I want really improve with my irons, should I be just hitting Irons for a few weeks? 15% improvement would be a dream come true.

Hi Shawn,
Super relaxed, super slow , super wide, is it for practice or permanent (actually playing golf).

What you hit at around 10 mins “too much effort”, is exactly my irons, woods, and driver misses… Ditto! Thought it was ball position or face, now thinking it could be straining and effort!

I am playing catch up on watching these videos. It has been very informative to see you take Eli through all the clubs with your program. I felt like I was right there with Eli getting the benefit of first hand guidance. My biggest take away was how simple it is to take your brain away from the task. When you said even thinking about hitting a straight shot is a manipulation, a light bulb finally came on!! I had the best day with the driver ever while trusting your set up instructions and then just letting it go. This old lumber jack no longer has the range of motion that your young lumber jack Eli has, but the guidance is still pure gold! Smiling all the way to the clubhouse! Thanks Shawn!!

Have I figured something out or not – I’m starting to use my body to bring the club around, almost like I’m not doing anything with my arms/hands, until I get down to the ball, then I can accelerate and throw out to my target. It’s more or less how it feels, I want to say something I’ve heard before – passive hands. Anywho, It’s a weird feeling, like if I try to do it, I release excitedly at the ball, if I let the club fall and whip through, it feels amazing but there’s a massive timing situation that is new to me, I’ve been struggling to reproduce this swing once there’s a ball there as well, lol. Hello to you, Sav and Mu.
