Hi Shawn, I’ve found this drill so helpful, it has been part of my pre- shot routine just now. I honestly can’t tell you how well I struck the ball and the carry distance has gained some 20+ yards with less effort – however I just need to dial in my yardage again as I’ve air mailed 3 greens today and gone from looking like a birdie chance to a double bogey on all 3 aaaaaahhhhggg!

Hey Shawn,
I believe I kind of have a good understanding of it but when you say that you’re looking for a high/low fade and draw “flavor” do you mean your release/position? Or are there other factors that affect this other than the ball position? Is there a video you can direct me to that will elaborate a bit more on height/trajectory of ball flight in terms of why/how it will fly high or low in response to the relationship with the arc blur, release, and ball position?
From my understanding I can see that placing the ball at the center as you’ve mentioned in this video for a high draw makes sense because it’s coming a little up on the ball due to the arc, right? But is there anything else you mean when you say high/low “flavor”? Are you also releasing it a little later so it’s released higher? Thanks.

Hello Shawn this axe drill looks easy when Savvy and you are performing it but it is really challenging to achieve it and it cannot be mastered in one or two practice sessions. I think it requires a real commitment.

Hey Shawn, I’m a new subscriber and have been all over the place in locating videos. I find myself getting lost with what I want to see. In the video where you are hitting left handed the ball appears to be back quite a ways in your stance, I’m judging this by the location of the white tee in front of you and the white tee behind on the square mat. Your technique and motion looks like a Dr Kwon type of motion.
I would like to hear where the ball is in your stance and why Sav doesn’t have your precise motion. Would you also please direct me to a location in the Premium section where I can progress through your teachings in an organized manner.
thank you for your patience.

Hi Shawn, with the blur of the Club? When ready to play the ball are you seeing the low point and beyond of the arc in your minds eye to the swung finish?

Did you notice that all of your throws in the slow motion videos went in the same direction?

What year was this made it seems like I watched 5 or ten years ago I wish the premium golf videos were dated . Your teachings have evolved over the years . I’m focusing on newer premium videos with strong grip and braced tilt . I can get a rough idea when video was made by which facility it was filmed in but as a new member I thought premium videos would be revised versions if you used older lessons. Your teachings have made me a better player in many ways . I am still fighting the right hand push . How do you pull down with right arm if palm is facing up . In order to get the feel of the left hand releasing out in front of me towards the target I have to back off the trail hand a little . I keep the right hand air tight on the left hand but it seems like it is just there for the ride. My practice swing before shot is with double overlap just to get the feel of the release out front. If I think about braking glass in garage door slam that release won’t happen

Hi everyone!!
If you have come this far in the Beginner Series – welcome to the family -and to the best game of all time!!
I have spent about 15 years learning how to cut dandelion stems, send golf balls to their target, learning, golfing and talking to Shawn about the simple, natural way to play and it is good fun!!
Every time I revise my game these lessons are the starting point – PLEASE – take the time to join the Premium Chanel so you can improve your golf and enjoy the game!!!

Without clarity it’s just luck to execute the shot correctly.
Thanks Shawn.

Shawn, I was watching this video again and was wondering how your Flightscope recorded the distance on the shots? When I went for my fitting a year ago at Club Champion they told me Flightscope had a problem getting accurate distances inside hitting into the screen.

Hi Shawn! I’ve never felt the need to comment on the countless instructional videos I’ve watched over the years, but I’m compelled to say how much your battering ram videos have helped my game! Using the battering ram as my task has transformed my ball striking and keeps me from defaulting to the ball. I would love more videos on this task in the future. Thank you!

How does Savvy grip club for this shot

Love the rrrrrrribbon!!!!

Have arthritis in pinky of left hand (right handed golfer). Would I benefit from reverse tapered grips (thinner at butt end to get a more secure grip)? Will implementing your swing technique be helped or hindered with reverse tapered grips? [email protected]

I’m not good at asking questions. My earlier question dealt with idea of how is slamming the garage door related to strain free golf swing. To me some aspects of earlier teaching’s don’t mesh.. Should I be abandoning the ideas like “from hear I can whip the snot out of the ball.. I have been watching your videos since the days of your black outfit and microphone(priest look)it’s frustrating trying to “own WIG”swing .I’ll have eureka moments where I actually break par for nine holes . Then the next day swing thought isn’t working . Swing thoughts I use are all WIG ones. I thought becoming premium member would help clear up confusion but it’s really not . I know you have helped thousands of golfers including myself . I am thinking my old game needs a break from golf. I have easily played over a hundred rounds this year alone . Waiting days for replies that really don’t answer questions adds to confusion
