Shawn, I need one further clarification on the grip and the clubface orientation (square or closed) at address. I grip the club with a neutral grip and a closed clubface. Should the clubface remain closed when I actually place the club down behind the ball at address just before the takeaway move or will the clubface be squared up as a result of getting behind the ball before making my takeaway move? Anotherwords, is the clubface to be square or closed in my final address position? Thanks
From a habitual slicer, I no longer can hit a slice, struggling with my fade now. The way you explained the fade am looking forward to trying this today.
Just to clarify you said FADE:-
-we aim where we want to start the ball (which would be some yards left of the target)
-we swing in the direction we want to start the ball ( again left of the target)
-ball Forward of center ( draw being back of center)
-close face less ( it is closed but less compared to a draw)
My question- DO we line up left of the target where we aimed / start the ball or even more left of that? (like in the draw you said line up towards the target line).
Shawn, I may have just had an “ah ha” moment implementing the head turn/tilt. Especially with the draw. It feels that it’s allowed me to get a full turn and stay on task with throwing to the right of my target. Your approach to teaching is incredible. You sir, are the G.O.A.T.
Thanks for the video! I’m struggling to keep my ball flight lower and compressing my iron shots adequately. (I think I may not be hitting “through” the ball enough. ) Would u be able to point me to an appropriate video series?
Hi Joshua! You bet! See this one https://wisdomingolfpremium.com/task-to-shot-matching-series-part-1-hammer-through-door-for-low-shots/ and the “Hammer Drill” video
After many days I was just unable to hit my driver, was hitting right with fade. Calmed my self went through all the tasks, the IP, Target, levitate, relax-wide-slow, throwing the club, kept my weight front foot – back foot, and reason for it was I was trying to hit so hard on the down swing thinking I have mastered it, even with the task of throwing the club over IP, I was just unable to finish, my effort must have been a 9. Really eased up, held the club easier and I was back hitting beautiful shots.
During setup I find and this goes for all the clubs, if I just setup with a balanced stance and then tilt my distance and consistency goes down, but if I stand favoring left side my body is over the left leg and then when I take my stance and tilt everything just falls into place.
Just my insight.
Been a month now, the only way for me to make the aim-target work is Goldilocks it.
In pitching every single time I select an IP and try and swing over it, my ball goes Right of the target. Just cant figure it out. Full shots no problem, but a 25 yard-40 yard pitch right all day long.
Tried this in the morning, for fade I imagined coming from the outside and cutting across the dandelion stem sending the ball over IP.
Wasn’t good. Think knowing I was going inside made me go out a lot more, making me come out to in.
I have always had an inside takeaway and have taken so many lessons , railway track , turning my lead arm counter clock wise on takeaway, but ever since with the tilt and take away as per the IP-Target its way better and on the arc, the “momentum” now takes it back more in line with the task at hand.
But for short pitches, I felt I manipulate it to take it back as there is very little momentum to work with. Any videos I can see? Its the 15 yards – 40 yards.
Hi Shawn,
I noticed on your over head iron slow motion swing, I saw your hands were way more closer to your body/thighs than mine ever are. That could be due to the fact you have a much greater turn back and through than me. In my video analysis you mentioned I need to sit more turn the pelvic area more and have been working on that along with the garage door drill. Keeping my hands more under me I will get closer to my legs am guessing, should I strive for that?
I am tall with short arms; so my swing can look different than yours. The key is what will help you deliver your task best? Always ask that question when it comes to body part questions.
bracing against the door frame, just trying to be clear, hammer being the door frame that i understand, bracing against it I cant understand, sorry. My front leg and left side of my body is out of the door frame towards the target, how am I braced against it?
Embarrassed to ask this, I am hitting it amazing and standing like you just trying to understand the concept of the brace you talk about.
Question- what video should I watch to learn how to setup like Shawn does. He has that excellent behind the ball look to his swing that I just can’t figure out, I try it but my hips always feel off.
His daughter and Mu have that nice little hip set when they setup to the ball.
Hey Rich! See the “braced tilt” and then see “hammer drill” and look for the purpose of the set up where we are getting ready to deliver an action into the direction of the ball flight. Others would be “mile markers for contact” and the “two tee drill perpetual motion”
