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.
Hey Mark! This means your internet is slow today; must be a lot of online activity in your neck of the woods right now; use the cog wheel in the lower right corner of the video box and choose a lower definition to get the flow back.
Shawn, good video. So if I want to send grass just to the right of the IP and I look from behind the ball out in the distance for a tree or something. The further that tree is away the bigger to the right that seems to be but that is OK? Sometimes like 30 yards right of final target. Is this the right visual? Also, if I heard you right you do adjust your shoulders and feet for the swing to go over that IP to the right, so square to the right of IP, not square to the target? Thanks.
Hi Mike! If this is for a stock draw, you want to aim the flow of momentum straight at the target over the IP, play the ball a smidge back of centre and get behind it which will nudge it slightly to the right of the IP and start the flight about 3 degrees to the right. IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT’S GOING 30 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT. Just do a practice swing above the ball and see the BLUR of club and it should be going just barely right of the IP (the blur from 6 inches coming into and 6 inches going out from the ball)
So the visual from down the line is very different from the visual from beside the ball; see “alignment reload” video
Shawn amazing task!…I hit a bucket of balls 5 days a week… the last 2 days have used the throwing the club task intention and my calves are sore like a good workout just happened without any intention of engaging my legs!… proof the genius of the body knows what to do if you just let the task happen…good contact happens and my trajectory is coming down with more penetrating iron flights….more work to be done but it’s fun work…thank you…
MUSIC TO MY EARS!! Way to go out there and do it! Keep the goldilocks series close to keep predicting that the ball is beautifully in the way of that throw! 😀👍👊💪🫶
shawn ur youtube video u showed where a hip turn is 45 and the spine at 10 or less an shoulders about 20.
the reason I’m bringin this up is I m 71 yr old and have disks in my back that are osteo arthritic and I don’t wanna damage those any further by twisting beyond 45 total.
so I would like to know if u think that trying to go beyond that will do damage just to add a few extra yards
Awesome teaching video. Seeing you work thru the misses was terrific for me. Being patient and listening to what your ‘body” is telling you and letting the adjustment flow.
Sounds ‘trippy” but doing that during practice or warm-up or when in competition is the difference. The alternative can be the opposite, panic and into “fix it mode”.
