Good morning. Your instructions are excellent. I just started learning golf in August 2023. I have studied many other YouTube training programs. They are all excellent. However, yours have enabled me to understand and feel what I’m trying to accomplish in greater detail. Interestingly, the information/guidance I receive from others on the course is not as dynamic. They are very impressed with my improvements and have stopped sharing their experience. Thank you for that. My drives are between 200 and 250 yds now and the irons continue to outperform each previous days effort. This adds a task of guessing how much further the irons will perform each time. I look forward to doing so much better. Thank you.
Big smile right here on my face Charles! Thank you! Being able to evolve with clarity is massive in this game; keep your channel tuned right here and stay on this roller coaster! 😀👍👌💪
Hey Shawn. Looking forward to following you on this journey. I checked out Andrew Huberman briefly on motor learning. He talks about error focus to speed up learning. My thoughts on this would be to focus on what needs to “better ” for the next repetition, grass clippings more towards the target!
More focus on what I need to do better vs. what I am doing incorrectly.
Here is how we do this: THE GOLDILOCKS SERIES!
You intentionally set up incorrectly, the brain identifies that it is incorrect, you execute and CONFIRM THAT IT IS INCORRECT; THUS MAKING IT ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! Then you do one correctly and the brain gets flooded with dopamine to seal the deal.
Then when you do nothing at the end of the session, your brain replays backwards and tosses out the crap and keeps the gold and away we go!
Hi Shawn, could grip size play a factor in “crimping” with the lead hand? I have standard size grips and I find it difficult to crimp with the lead hand. Vs crimping the handle of a baseball bat feels more comfortable.
After experimenting I think i tend to hold it too much in the fingers? Not allowing the heel pad to sit on top properly. When I have the heel pad on top it feels like the handle is more in the palm. Still maintaining a 90 degree between shaft and forearm. I’m thinking an online lesson will help clear up some questions lol.
Hi, Shawn. This video looks like a great routine. I’m looking forward to giving it a go.
Here’s my current question (reflection) — and I don’t even know if it’s the right question: In one phrase: how to build shot-by-shot consistency? Especially when I’m not a Moe Norman, out there for 7 or 8 hours a day.
Just finished 3rd season. Overall, my swing is better than the previous season; not appreciably in distance, but having the result of a given swing more often match intention. But scores didn’t budge this past season. On most holes, there’s almost always some mis-hit — which will appear at any point, tee to green, even if the previous shot was perfectly done. And of course the blow-up holes, with a series of mis-hits. Sure — adapt and re-set for the next shot. But, before the point of impact, a set-up and swing that results in a mis-hit doesn’t feel any different than a set-up and swing with a good result. (Golfers: undying optimists. We will take that next shot.) How to build shot-by-shot consistency in the “open loop” context on the course? Compare a best ball round. A group might shoot close to par, even if, as individuals, they are usually bogey or bogey-plus. How does one become one’s own best ball partner? Thanks.
Ahh yes, reminds me of when Mu and several other new students were developing; and what I can say is that there is an “overnight success” that happens when the brain has enough of the pieces; so we try to apply more closed loop in the training and more open loop in the performance. HOWEVER, ROUTINE IN OPEN LOOP IS KING!
1-proper option of flight plan that will not cause you to release towards trouble or place you in a position where you feel the need to be perfect to get there. Take a couple practice swings to secure the task and feel you are about to use in that shot; opportunity for some pmd closed loop applications
1-refocus on flight plan then,
2-find intermediate point
3-set up to match flight plan-feel capable and comfortable over the ball
4-what will it feel like when momentum releases me through this arc-blur into that direction? Ahhh yeah…about like this…
5-no judging, see what happened and the brain will already know what is missing; find the ball, do this again
on range and on course and in backyard practice with whiffle balls, whatever, all 5 are must go throughs otherwise you open the door to the brain asking, ARE YOU SURE? Then that shot is pretty much pooched…😝
With teeing the ball up, how much higher should the ball be compared to the club resting on the ground? Are there some tees out there that you recommend? Also any tees you recommend for the driving range?
Sure! At least half the ball above the top of the clubhead to catch on the way up and see “driver for accuracy” for another option if you have issues with pop ups. Range tee’s off grass are best with low friction plastic or with a claw and a tornado tee.
Shawn – what do you recommend doing when you see the arc tracking on the right line, but the low point is not where you want it? for example the ball is already placed a hair back on center for a draw, but the low point is well before the ball.
Hey Shawn, I’ve had a few pros comment that I’m rotating my forearms and hands through impact, and that that is too difficult to time properly, and that that’s been causing inconsistency left and right. I’ve also experienced some pain in my left wrist as a result of trying to rotate that forearm as I pull down on the handle and release through impact. My solution to this feedback and integration with your teachings is as follows… I’ve noticed that when I get into a braced tilt position with the intention to drive the golf club hammer into the door frame, I’m able to take a strong grip with my left hand that allows the club face to be sufficiently square to target as I pull the club through the door frame. This stronger grip with the left hand means I don’t have to rotate through impact with my forearms. the release (the bulk of the rotation of the forearms and Club face) actually happens after impact. I’ve also found a relationship where the stronger my grip is on the left hand the more I have to brace tilt. Additionally, it becomes essential that I maintain that tilt through impact or else if I don’t stick with the shot and I jump out of the tilt through impact it goes way left and more left. Am I on the right track?
MAN, ARE YOU EVER ON THE RIGHT TRACK! 👍😀👊💪❤️
Come on! awesome!
Staying with the shot is the most essential thing you will do; WITNESSING MOMENTUM RIDING THE ARC BLUR THROUGH THE IP INTO THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO START THE BALL. If you did your prediction process and had some good solid practice with the “goldilocks series” and feel that when you let momentum release you in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball will want to go that way because your ball position is sound, be well struck because you have great posture that is allowing for good grass cutting and distance to ball is great because it feels like you can just let the swing track that way; and when the clubface and grip relationship is sound, you don’t need to hold off a hook from too strong and force a draw from too weak (what you used to do)
If any of these items of prediction feels off, how can you stay with the shot? So your head will move and the centre of swing will move and then the big can of worms of manipulation explodes! 😝😝
hey Shawn been recording my swing to see how i’m progressing and it seems as i get to the top for the backswing and start to stand up and lose my posture and my trail leg gets completely straight any tips or advice to help me keep better posture as i get to to the top of the backswing?
Hey Shawn, comparing my swing to yours (I’m looking for more consistency), at P2 and P3 when the club is parallel to ground on the way back (sorry to reference POSITIONS!!) my trail knee is significantly straighter, there is significantly more gap between my knees, and there is more hip turn. Should I reduce this to match what I’m seeing in this video?
The very best drill by far as an acid test for your takeaway and backswing is the FEET TOGETHER DRILL; the knees stay together too; this will immediately tell you what you should be doing in the backswing regarding knees.
