Hi Shawn,
what I have learnt is for irons eyes between the ball and the leading edge,
for driver on tip of tee or at least and idea where the tip of the tee is.
For 3 wood or hybrid or irons off the tee , would the eyes be on the grass or tip of tee?

One of the best videos Shawn.
Hugely clarified a few things for me.
Sending grass clippings towards left or right of IP was my magic moment, along with two swing drill. Finally found something that I could trust and predict. Which was huge! Will try and repeat to see if it was not just a fluke.
Also always kept my eyes on the ball, will try keeping it between the ball and leading edge.
Had not been able to hit consistently ball after ball, finally did that today. Felt great joy today.

How does the two swing shot work?
I was all over the place and when I did this all of a sudden I was accurate and very consistent with a beautiful ball flight? Then I tried the sending grass clippings with the sole of the club. I could turn pro right there and then. 9i – 150 yards soaring high and accurate. (I have mentioned this in another video am so excited).

In in the end you said keeping eyes on outside the ball or front, thought it was between the ball and the leading edge? Should I try the 3 eye positions and see what suits me?

Was playing around with this feel today practicing (can you tell my competitive season is over? lol) and I noticed something. There’s basically one spot that it releases in both directions. After “getting out of the way” back, I noticed if let the lead hand release sooner (for me, I tend to hang onto it and release late at times), almost from the top of the backswing, I was puring the ball about 10-15 yards farther.

So get out of the way back, and then slash that bamboo shoot from the top. I filmed it and by feeling that I could still see the kinetic chain engage, and my arms were much more synced to my pivot. Valid feel for someone who tends to hang on and hit it with the face slightly open?

I also noticed that by doing this, the weight of the club balanced me in my swing. Good by slight early extension, hello a faster rotation with less effort.

Flukey one off? Or is that feeling of getting the back of the hand back to the ball and then back behind me sooner a good one for my miss?

Hi Shawn, just wanted to know where I can see the analysis of my swing.
Lokesh.K

Sensei! Just had a session from 15 yrs ago pop up – when we first discussed weight shift v pressure – what took the world so long to catch up!!! Do you think we could do this series (best of) wth tracer and use Sav, Mu and you to demonstrate!!
I reckon we could destroy another 500 myths that have evolved from single frame “hacks”
Love this game –

Hi Shawn,
always opened the face for buried lies and never realized why I would never hit them consistently.
Much needed video that I needed to see.
Thanks.

Breaking my wrist early helps me throw the sand more consistently.

Hi Shawn,
I believe the following problem isn’t just mine, hope you can do a video on it.

Scenario:- Ball is lying near an over hang. I take a practice swing and I nip some leaves or a branch at top of my swing.
How much ever I try and reset and take a few shorter swing, on the actual shot I will either top it or duff it.
Usual reason is the swing is quick and forceful.

How does one overcome the subconscious of I may hit the leaves or branch?

Two Swing Drill is a keeper !!!

Hi Shawn.
Trying hard to levitate naturally.
When I go high or up i have a subconscious fear that I will dig in too deep.
What has helped is out of the way out of the way, my arms levitate easily. Also I have found stopping my swing when my arms hit 11 o clock, i have a slight pause and good things are happening.

Hey Shawn, I have been improving but 1 out of every 10 shots or so I hit a really nasty off the planet snap hook and it’s killing my rounds in terms of scoring. I tend to stall my lower body and my hands get super active in the downswing. I’m not sure why but i guess it could be a lack of focus or task but Is there any one swing thought I can try to snap hook proof my shots?

Hi Shawn. I’ve noticed at set up your irons/driver face is usually pointed to the left (when playing left handed) i.e. open. I have tried that at the range lately and have been hitting it a lot straighter/ small fades as opposed to big draws/hooks or just pushing it straight right (as a right hander). Is that pretty much standard for all clubs including driver? So slightly less open for a draw but more open for a fade? It just seems like a massive set up point and I have never heard you talk about it much. I think making that change is going to have a massive change on my game. Even for driver I was setting up like this and wasn’t slicing it like I thought I would. It feels much easier to rotate the clubface correctly through impact. Maybe a video on this would be good because I haven’t heard this talked about much by any golf coaches on youtube.Thanks for your videos. I’ll probably jump on the eagle sub over winter so I’ll ask you then anyways but its just been knawing at me lol.

hi Shawn, quick question.. at top of backswing the lead arm and club form a “L” shape(90deg ish) on the downswing does it feel like that “L” turns more into a “V” (more like a 45 deg ish) as the arms are travelling down and through? i guess thats not exactly a quick question and i hope that it made sense lol

Hi Shawn,

I have a quick question. Would it make sense to get behind the ball then take a newtral grip with a closed face to hit a draw?

I feel like when I grip it netral closed faced first then get behind the ball to square (strong grip stance) I leave it out right but when I get behind the ball first then take a neutral grip closed face the ball seems to draw alot better.

Let me know if that makes sense lol!

Shawn, finished my tournament. Played super, thanks to you, under pressure “task” oriented swing is what makes a difference.
For the driver – hit the tip of the tee to your direction
Fairway woods – IP close and sole of the club thru towards target
Bunkers – throwing sand ( with an early wrist hinge) made Sandy on all the 5 bunkers in the tournament.

My iron play let me down big time. I tried every task I could remember. In hind sight eyes between the ball and the club or ahead of the ball I did not do.

Problem was I just couldn’t get to the finish, If I did hit the iron on line I would dig so deep and then hold off the club or a punch.

I do feel I have a flaw in the setup, or
I do not commit to the setup or
my ball position , hips get tight, maybe too much from the inside. Or just trying to hit 100% distance with the club every time.

The best shots I did hit was when I made it a point to pause at the top, but also hit a few hooks which cost me the hole. So back to basics.

Am making a video and hopefully can do a one on one with you. Will include my setup process not just the shot.
Happening in practice too.

Btw made the putt of the tournament to halve my match on the 18th in front of everyone.

Thank you so much for your guidance. Irons maybe off but this is the best golf I have ever played.
