This will be the series everyone should start on and refer friends to! 😀👍

Hey Lenny! Sorry I missed this comment! Just noticed! If this happens again and you don’t see a reply within 48 hours, email me the question at [email protected]

see “important driver nugget” and “diagonal stance series draw driver”

Lenny, Shawn, The diagonal Stance series is awesome in my opinion. This really helped me to work through the driver setup. It still feels a little bit odd because of setting up the clubhead behind the ball, but it really works! after some time of course.

Thank you for that great feedback Paul!

Fade is one club less on short irons and wedges; 1/2 club short of mid irons and same distance on long irons and woods (5 to Driver)

Makes absolute sense… thank you.

Hey Justin! See the “throwing series” on the “list of videos by date” where we throw short stop for short irons; javelin and football throws for longer irons; and “hammer throw for driver. Distance to ball is a big one as well as the “how to match backswing to ball direction” video to make sure you are not taking the club too inside with the linger irons…

A bit of both! See “diagonal stance series” for another option; then see “draw fine tuning”

Like I said in the earlier replies; fades with long clubs and draws with short clubs is a tour standard; this is the most popular way for PGA TOUR players to get around! And you will burn yourself every time you think about weight shift and where the pressure is and where you back is during play as you will no longer have a task to a target which is the most important!

Makes it crystal clear… Thank you.

“Lead hand release backswing assurances”; and hit some balls with this one: “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy”

Thanks Shawn, this axe drill is helping me feel more width for sure. One cool thing i realized when going back to normal grip from the split grip is that I was applying too much force with my trail hand/arm which was causing some collapse. I try to keep my trail arm more relaxed and toss the axe up more with the lead arm and the width seems better. Thanks for the input!

Good stuff! When you do a continuous action; called open loop in Neurology, you can make adjustments on the fly while performing the task; see “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series”, and feel what the trail arm does when performing that task while walking or even staying put and sending grass clippings from a mat.

Hi Shawn I’ve worked out why I’m not drawing the ball. My release is ahead of the ball for driver. I tried this feel in the backyard, and it’s like I have to slow my arms down and speed up my hands to get the club face to come around. Is there a video to explain this better? I understand why I used to hit my driver good back when I was flipping the golf club.

This happens when you default to the ball; when sending divots or grass clippings with your walk as in this video, do you do it there too? Practice what is in here and you will see that you need to squat down more in the downswing to collect the grass before you release it into the direction of the target!

I don’t during the drill although I had a range session today and I’m starting to think hitting balls is not good for me in practice- I keep defaulting to the ball. There has been an Improvement in my ball striking so it must’ve improved somewhat as when I freeze frame the video my hips are more clear than prior to your teachings but I’m still crowding the ball more than I’d like – is just keep doing the drill until it bleeds into my game? Practice swing is great…

Next would be to take this task and combine it in the “stick your finish despite the ball” series; when you realize that the ball can’t stop you from performing your task, you will then evolve more rapidly! 😀👍

Thanks Brother! You as well! 👍👌💪😀

Hey Justin! Just sent you the analysis; you are releasing at the ball because of a change in centre forward in the downswing and because you are pushing off the right side instead of falling back into the left side from behind, you are getting ahead of the ball and then have to hurry up and release before you miss it. Enjoy the analysis!

The science guys with their accelerometers will tell you is during ball transfer; yes, the ball slows down the club, especially ball grass ground with irons, then 99% of golfers including many prominent teachers who have a stage will then vomit this and say send everything at the ball and make the ball the target. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF CHAOS. Like telling a sprinter to run up to the finish line. Without the ball, the point where the club passes the hands when throwing at the target is peak speed; that is where you feel the snap of the baseball bat, the pronation of the arm in tennis, etc…that is way past the ball by a couple feet, SO YOUR MIND NEEDS TO BE on that side like in the “target confirmation series” or the “stick your finish despite the ball series”

They are both out there; every human body has their strengths and it’s their brains that determine what limb will do what when performing the task of delivering to the target; Zack Johnson and many others release like Sav and Mu, where as I am more like Paul Goydos, and Bubba. I have stopped a long time ago to try and force golfers into molds and just nudge them into executing their tasks freely and observe ball flight and then adjust GOLDIE LOCKS STYLE to find THEIR middle. Have you seen our “goldie locks series?”

Thanks Shawn yeah makes sense. Sometimes I learn by what others are doing and than look to see what I’m doing as the task I’m giving my body isn’t working. I’ve seen “goldie locks series”

Timing is in the kinetic chain engagement; squat into the ground, then the unwinding of the body from the ground up, then the hands come through, then the club, yes. You want to feel that this happens very easily as you deliver your task into the direction you want to start the ball with momentum and ease.
