Hi Shawn,
just confirming, your left hand grip, the club went straight down nestled at the base of the fingers, what had been taught to me was a diagonal grip starting at the first fold of the index finger down to the life line and then close the hand. Is this something that I should reconsider?

Love the smoosh!!! So awesome to see your work with students.

Hi Shawn, could you post the link to the Dr. Alan Watkins video.

These vids were excellent, I have also found concentrating on the position of sternum really helps in chipping, sternum in front of ball for chip and runs, over the ball for a slightly higher chip and for flops behind the ball.

Hello Shawn,
Thank you for the swing analysis and following your advice I watched this video and did my best to use the drills during today practice session.. That was mind-blowing. I hit the ball further and more consistently with most of the clubs of the bag. My main issue was with the 3 wood with which I was sometimes topping the ball even when it was on a tee. I need also a firmer grip to make sure that the club face is not going all over the place. Once you feel the move the challenge is to trust this feeling and swing freely without trying to steer the club. It will be a real breakthrough if I can bring that to the course.
Many thanks
Christian

Shawn around 12:10 you say as soon as you take the club back you can feel a confirmation that momentum is going to go the direction you want to send the grass clippings. What do you do if during the backswing you don’t feel like the momentum is going to go in the direction you want it to go? Do you stop the swing and reset?

Would love if you had a page on the website with a list of all the different tasks one can try based off type of club, type of lie, trajectory, draw or fade, if you have a tendency to hit fat or thin shots, and other scenarios. If I hadn’t seen this video and the only task i knew of was sending grass clippings but i was hitting my fairway woods thin, i wouldn’t think or even know of the other task about smushing grass so i could better deflect the bottom of the fairway wood clubhead and get more flush contact.

Hi Shawn. Practiced throwing the club today and did pretty well with it down the target line. I’m beginning to feel the snap (which to me feels like a quick turning over of the hands towards the target). When I connect with the snap, I’m smashing it effortlessly. But when I mistime it, it’s either a terrible snap hook or a push to the right. I feel as if my focus is the intermediate point. Thoughts on minimizing my misses?

Hi Shawn, I love the walking drill, when I perform this I naturally keep my hips back and don’t hit “at” the ball which stalls my rotation as I move towards the ball in the down swing- I’ve heard you say do this drill until the “cows come home” I’m assuming that applies for all clubs?
I’m worse the longer the club gets and particularly with driver! Do you suggest the drill with driver?

Shawn, when I try to engage my legs in the downswing with a “squat” to get my upper body out of the way and increase the power of swinging my arm/club unit, I tend to hit fat shots.when I squat. Is the problem timing of the squat or something else? I need to improve my use of my legs to engage the ground with the up and down moves during the swing. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I am trying to do all these drills but I am stuck at a 75 mph clubhead speed.

Hi Shawn, I have another question lol…when the head is allowed to go up and down piston like but centred is that rise and fall all from the legs or some straightening of the waist too?

Hi Shawn,
Finally realising what an effortless swing should be.

Wee bit confused at setup with the IP, i doubt it makes a difference but its been bothering me.

1. I see my target and take an ip between the ball and the target.
2. After the club selection, practice swings, I setup vary of my ball position.
3. Do I Tilt and then get the feel of the club aiming at IP after which I swing a little right of the IP for a draw

VS 
what I have been doing, where I aim over IP BEFORE the tilt when standing over the
ball result is that I am automatically ready to hit right of the IP when I tilt.
I don’t have a golf course near me, closest one is 2 hours away. So been really working with the swing on a cage I had made at home.

hey shawn, love the content and videos, they are incredibly insightful. i have a quesiton in regards to shoulders at set up. you seem to have a slight tilt(left above right) at set up even for irons. is that the case? i have always been told to have level shoulders, with the exception of driver. can you elaborate/explain the set up of shoulders in regards to tilt at set up? thanks

Shawn, 1st question- when did you switch to Cobra from Callaway? 2- when on the course and playing well or not well how do you control the NO control?
