Hi Shawn. How do you calculate the affect an elevated green will have on the club that you choose?

This hammer drill has been such a light bulb moment for me. My last practice session and game – it’s encouraged my body into the good dynamic impact position! I’ve pasted some drives today. I even hit a 3 iron 225yds which for me is so long even slightly wind assisted.

Thanks for putting up with me . I have tried everything you have mentioned. Awhile back I would try whatever new task that your free videos would suggest. The course I play doesn’t have a range so I can’t build my swing like I would if I was at the range. At the range I start using the sledgehammer for for chipping then hit pitches with feet together , then feet apart .. I try to match the blur of practice swing over the ball and predict that I’ll miss the ball but confirm that the blur is going in the direction of where I intend it to go. For irons I use throwing horseshoes where I get a feel of my legs being the power source. On the irons it’s more vertical and the driver is vertical with a little rotation.added.. For the irons I use the hammer task of hitting the nail in the door frame to make sure I have tilted spiral but I still am trying to see if the blurt matches . With the driver I am using battering ram task.. Every shot I hit even the putter I’m trying to see if blur. matches up and actually see it during the shot. While I’m playing I’ll take practice swings with my lead arm only with opposite end of cub and cut the bamboo stalk. I also find myself saying “don’t let your arms hit you on the way good back don’t let you arms hit you on way going through. I also try to feel like I am already in perpetual motion but I try to do it at a little slower speed then if I was actually doing the perpetual motion drill . I like slow motion back swing for seniors video (I am in my seventies) I am also trying to use Savvy’s grip . Driver I can go about 45 degrees closed and still hit it semi straight with a little draw . Irons I have to have it less closed. Still working on that . Nothing worse than hitting a drive on a par 4 inside of 100 or 50 yds and pulling second shot left. Yeah that is about it.

Like video like it if you would spend more time on momentum. Sounds like your left side is pulling the club down. Hope this makes sense Left side would be my front side, Im right handed.

Let me clarify I guess Im confused on letting the momentum of the club do the work versus throwing the club.

shawn, is there a lot separation between ur upper and lower bod?
myself I have very little I found the more separation I have. it hurts my back.
lastly how do u keep club low to ground for those distance.it seems impossible to do because u can t increase arc radius once everything is stretched out
thx, mark

shawn,should my belt buckle face target on finish

Great visual and explanation. Videos like the this one makes it easy to understand timing and rhythm.

Another great video. Im 70 years of age took tons of lessons. I was a position player and focused on hitting the ball. Hey that’s what I was taught. I almost gave up golf do to poor performance and the joints were getting sore. Watched your YouTube channel and the number one take away that changed golf for me was throw the club to the target, not hit the ball. After practicing throwing the club and it took awhile when I put a ball down it took awhile to keep from defaulting to hitting the ball and the body stalling. Then it started working the aw ha moment happen when the club flew to the target and the body automatically, without effort or feeling any resistance it started working. Sure wish I would have discovered/known this when I was younger. Golf is now a fun game and I can now be competitive with my peers.Keep up the good work.

I believe my releasing at the ball is a huge factor in my current (and past) wrist/thumb injuries, I can really see it when you showed that part in the video….. No matter how hard I try, I very rarely get this through the ball, towards the target, release.

What do you recommend for an online lesson set up – I want to “take you” to my driving range…….. I’m thinking of getting an ipad, stand, and a mic…. would that work?

I’m struggling with using momentum with ease but then not getting the “ velocity “ I need to hit the clubs stock distance. I sense I’ll need a little extra “ manipulation “

Shawn,
Great meeting you this week. Is a good task “pull the arc back and then pull the arc forward” then aim that left or right of the IP?

It really drives home and automates all the drills we did w the deep hand release feel. I also REALLY feel the hip swivel.

Basically the feel I have is my right hip yanks my right shoulder back which heaves the ACU, then simply my left hip does the same. I feel like my body is starting the arc-blur, not my arms or mind. It just happens.

Pull arc blur back w right side, sling it at the target w the left side. Does that make sense as a task? Because holy moly this feels incredible!

Ok. I understand the WIG completely now. Wow. This is the best concept tie in you all have done. Kudos.

I’m having trouble understanding the elephant walk concept vs skipping a stone or throwing to the target.. With the elephant walk I feel like my moment wants to move in the direction of the ball where as skipping a stone / throwing towards the target I have a shift towards the target. Now with the shift towards the target it also feels difficult to elephant walk that way too 😵‍💫

Shawn, on one of your Youtube videos “Is your golf underpowered??
This grip will add 15 to 30 Yards to your shots”, Savannah was demonstrating her “strong grip” with her trail hand under her lead hand at address. It appeared that she started with a neutral grip and a closed clubface and then rotated her forearms at address to what appears to set the clubface square at address. My question is by starting with her strong grip and what appears to be square clubface at address , will the clubface not rotate too open dynamically speaking. Anotherwords, my understanding from your other videos is that starting with a neutral grip and a closed clubface will end up with a square clubface dynamically during the swing. Can you clear up my confusion on proper grip and clubface position at address? Thanks
