Hi Shaun. New member and my first post. Firstly congratulations on your outstanding golf project with a wealth of brilliant information that you present in an easy to understand and entertaining manner. Taking some of your concepts on board yesterday, it was the first time in 5 years that i have actually smiled on a golf course. Respct!
My question is.. your hands are much further from the body at impact, does this mean the body has to move backwards in the downswing to counteract the inertia of the arms and club? I know you like analogies so if you look at an olympic hammer thrower you will see the body goes further and further back and lower to the ground to counteract the speed of the rotation increasing.

OH! Right-hand feels like a curl when I snap through the ball. I have trouble with my follow-through. My arms finish in front of me, not behind me.

In this video, it discusses the left hand snuff box being aligned to the grip’s logo and the thumb tip placed at noon. This nets out to a relatively neutral grip. However, in swing related videos, I see that if our hands and arms are properly leading the club through the swing, this neutral grip will net out to a club face that is open coming into the ball. This can also be seen by just pressing the hands forward at address. My question is, for a “straight” shot, is the proper positioning of the grip on the club to be in a strong position to counteract that opening of the club face at impact? Or, in a mature swing, is the grip kept in a more neutral position and the closing of the club face is a matter of properly releasing it?

hi Shawn.. been following you and watching you for a decade now from the Philippines, even have your dvds. suddenly got confused or it might be an “aha” moment for me. my question is about the intermediate point and it relationship to a fade and a draw.. where do you aim the club face? especially if at address it is somewhat closed. you always say to draw you should swing to the right of the intermidiate point and to fade is to swing it to the left .. but on one of your videos you actually said and aimed your clubface to the edge left for a fade. so this might be the reason why i snaphook and fade way too far. because i line the clubface to center of the intermediate target with a closed face and swing it to the edge left or right when trying to draw or fade? thanks

I just love the a ha moments on the journey and this video gave me just that.

I love watching golf swings and always wondered why some of the pros have a little head bob when the club passes their hands.

Well I’ve just been practicing the sword backwards like a left hand swing and felt the pull and then the club rise up.

Then slashing it through felt the same over my intermediate target. But I let go and felt my hole body get pulled down and my head too!

So that’s what a proper release feels like!

Also noticed if I move right and left of target it rotates me to the target perfectly without even trying.

Feels like a new break through 🏌️‍♂️

Hi Shaun
I have picked up most things well on this site, but the fall is still my stumbling block. I still stand up out of the shot, always have done. But it still makes good contact. Its like my brain goes into self preservation mode and says if you fall to 6 inches lower you will slam the club into the ground and break your wrist. Obviosly it does not but can you give me some reassurance as to how you can make similar cintact at differant heights from the ball please

Shawn just saw on Linkedin your post re tilt awareness week ! – I have fallen behind on my golf – and i think i have a tilt issue as I am hitting weak blocked fades especially with driver – best video(s) on premium for this (or you tube) best Declan

I’m just here to say, that I’m now more certain than ever, that my grip is my fundamental swing breakdown issue. My trail hand is destroyed (skin ripped up) as the grip is moving around in this hand. I was taught to hold the club lightly. It’s practically not even on the club, just flying off really. I cannot for the life of me seem to stop doing this. I’m off to purchase a glove for this hand so that I can continue to work on my swing/golf. I’ve watched all the videos on grip – I love that you describe your grip as firm and locked on (something like that) because I can reflect that mine is not. I know it is related to where I’m releasing the club as well. My understanding of what you are teaching becomes clearer everyday, but applying it has not been as easy as I had hoped. I will finish my dissertation by saying, you can’t overdo any topic, especially grip…. I could use more grip content, such as why my trail hand wants to come loose in the downswing. With love to the best golf teacher on planet earth, perhaps the galaxy…..

Shawn,

I have noticed that in order to get through the ball and feel the slash on the other side of the ball, my elbow instinctually returns to a more connected position through impact. When I look at my swing face on it seems like this returning of the elbow (subconsciously) allows for me to deliver the club through and allow the snap to take place after the ball. I am not actively thinking about this, but with my head anchored behind the ball does this anatomically make sense?

Play hybrid clubs the same as fairway woods? Oops, I jumped to a conclusion before I finished viewing. You answered my question later in the video.

Hello Shawn
I don’t know English very well and I’m using a translator.
I hope you understand my post.
I am a new member of your team.
According to what I saw in this video, there is no artificial separation that so much talk about, first the hips and then the shoulders. Spinning the belly button. I understood that the separation is natural, not forced, which I really like.
Best regards and thanks to you I regained the joy of playing golf.
Kris

Hey Shawn, I know I’m not supposed to focus on body position but instead the task, however today at the range I could actually sense forearm rotation at the top of my backswing. In your opinion could seeking that feel be ingrained into the task of delivering the club towards the target? You advocate a pause at the top of the backswing, could that pause be used to feel the forearm rotation prior to completion of the task? Thx

Awesome!

This is so cool!!!!!

Shawn, quick question and a comment. I struggle to find a good intermediary point out on the course, easy on the tee box, any suggestions? I have enjoyed your premium channel for the past year, but a suggestion would be to use a shot tracer to see the ball flight. I cannot see your ball flight, just taking your word for it! Thank you!
