Great Video Shawn, I’m having success with irons when I brace and tilt to go towards the target. However, fairway wood and driver I’m getting off plane. Please demonstrate this with the woods.Thanks

Hi Shawn,
For in between shots for example, my pw goes 125y, my 9i 145y.
I had a shot of 135y. I used my 9i. For many years I could manipulate my backswing, and somehow get these in between shots. Recently the game is going so good (broke 80 twice), but I just didn’t know what to do. Tried shortening my backswing , and full follow through I pulled it, I tried to hit it easy I pushed it. When I hit it with the full swing I flew the the flag and landed 10 yards too long. Any video I can see where we can use the same club to hit different distances?

Excellent review for us that have been with you for awhile and great introduction for anyone new. So easy to get a little sloppy with the grip, thanks.

Hi Shawn,
seeing my videos I realize that I hardly hinge. Should I work on hinging consciously?

Wow, last 2 minutes was so much to understand. I couldn’t figure out pre turn vs not pre turning. I have been pre turning for all my shots ( not for chipping of course).
My understanding, I setup to the ball with ( what I call a slight pre turn) where I am behind the ball by bracing I get into the tilt.. (pw thru to driver). For Draw I was kind of doing the same, to hit it right would make me brace more and as the ball position is center or back of center you tilt even more. ( which I guess you call it pre turn). Any video I can watch that clarifies the difference in more detail.

Great video Shawn! A wonderful reminder about the importance of the grip. I’ve been trying to get the different shot shapes (I’ve watched several of the videos) to work by playing with how open or closed the face is (grip face relationship) but am not having much luck.

pretty much everything wants to move right (fade), even when I’m setup for a draw. Seems like I can only get the ball to move left when I have the face extremely closed. Then its just a huge hook.

I open the face up gradually but then I’m back to no movement or left to right. I probably just need to send in a video for analysis. Thanks for all you do and for sharing your wisdom!

Love this revisit to the grip. It helped me eagle the 6th yesterday from 60 yards, one bounce on the raised tier and in the cup!

Let’s just say my betterball partner was happy with a 5 pointer!

I played the front 9 level par as well, my best ever front 9 and for 17 handicapper great progress!

Do you have a set of videos in a specific order for a beginner?

what is the video title for the draw leverage?

Hi Shawn, when I reach the top of my backswing I have what seems like so much hand/arm depth with my right elbow way behind me compared to you and Sav.

Shawn, Have problems with your videos the last few weeks only playing at 360. I go on Youtube and get them all at 1080 HD

Hi Shawn,
for me when I grip it (now, after adopting the Shawn swing) my club is pretty much square to look at, at setup, but my grip is very strong.
If I want to see how closed the club is I have to put down the club and turn my hands over to make them look neutral.

When I fade the driver even though I am trying to hit it straight or with a slight draw, The usual culprit it the face was open at impact.

So now I do the acid test, where once I am ready I take the club up and bring it back to impact position and see what the club face is doing, usually I need to turn it very little to feel it square at impact.

My current problem is using too much effort. Hitting it well but for some reason I want to hit my 9i 145-150 ( when earlier I would hit it 135), but its always with effort. And effort makes me a less smooth.

As I watch this it appears hips and shoulders are only rotating 75° degrees on back swing and then full 90° on follow thru, is that correct? Also we should be aiming for wrist cock (on snuff boxes) and minimize wrist hinge (bowing of left wrist) correct?

With my driver, my draws usually don’t come back but my irons do, I have a very strong grip and play the ball where you talk about in the stance. I’ve always been more out to in swing so what do you recommend trying, stance? Grip? Ball placement?

I’ve been working your system for almost a year now. Yesterday felt the heave in my takeaway. It just came to me as I continue to breakaway from swing positions.
