How does the rollover of the right hand over the left hand release explained in this video relate to your dynamic squaring of the clubface by starting with a somewhat closed face at address? Seems like closing the clubface at address combined with the rollover of the hands during the release would cause the clubface to bee overly closed dynamically. Your thoughts?

I have worked on moving my hands ahead of the ball at address,much like Mu. However, I have always had a neutral to slightly weak grip and changing to a very strong grip has proven to be especially difficult. What HAS worked using my normal grip is allowing my left wrist to bow throughout the swing and releasing the club through my left hand knuckles scraping the ground. A lot of power in that release–two clubs longer with my short irons, penetrating flight. Is this a good way to play—or do you suggest a better way to work for me?

Wow this is gold! This task really makes sense for me. One question I have is in the 2nd video you talk about how with driver you are throwing slightly upwards (positive AOA). When the ball is on the ground with wedge/iron should I continue to focus on throwing the football to my target or would I need to throw the football slightly towards the ground? (Negative AOA)?

This may be an over simplification but it seems after watching and benefitting from a number of your videos that your swing instruction is based on the body rotation swinging the arms without any manipulation out toward the target.I am 77 years old and 260 pounds and I have a difficult time getting the trail arm elbow leading in the downswing. You pointed out in this video the need for the whole body to turn while using the Sergio Garcia tip in order to get the trail arm to lead the hands thru impact. Do you think that my lack of body turn in my swing is preventing me from leading with the trail elbow and preventing me from getting a snap release out in the direction of the target?

Hi Shawn, I’m having a really hard time repeating my practice swing especially with the driver. When I freeze the video of my swing at impact I’m extended and not turned – so frustrated as I thought I was making progress 🙃 😅

Hello Shawn, A refresher question. The intermediate point, should it be at the target or in the direction you want to start the ball? I have it at my target ( the flag for example ).

Hi Shawn, I’m left handed. I broke the little finger and ring finger of my right hand. I’m now unable to fully bend my little finger so I can’t wrap it around the golf club. My grip strength is weak without my little finger. It feels like the club may slip out of my hands if I swing too hard. Do you have any advice / ideas on how I could hold the club to make it feel more secure. Thank you for your time…Kevin

Does the tilted, spiral come into play when putting?

Tried this strong grip in practice today and the hammer drill really hit home with me and the way Sav gripped to hammer a nail in the direction of the target. I was able to really compress the ball and even hit a fade using the intermediate point – is it the same with driver as I can’t use driver/woods at my clubs range?

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
