Shawn,
Ithink I had my aha moment today. When you say gather in the backswing, I am assuming how much bakswing for .momentum? Also, for staying on task in the swing, I am letting my armclub unit fall through without strain? If this is correct, then I am we’ll on track. Can you please explain if this is gravity in swing? Thanks again for all your wisdom!!

This is where I get stuck…I love the feel of throwing the club and can do it in the open field. However, two things happen, when a ball gets there, I hit way too many thin. even after goldilocks. It does not feel like a compressed impact, it is more like a slap hit. Maybe it is the mats we have to hit off? Second I can not wrap my head around the collect and release…with the hockey stick you collect from behind and release after a foot or so of time on the stick toward the lead foot/skate. With golf that happens in a split second & in a fraction of an inch…do you actually feel the ball on the club releasing? Would it help to ‘wrist shot’ a few golf balls without a swing to get that feel? Help!

Hi Sean, I’m a little confused. I’ve watched all the grip videos. The other videos advocate a neutral grip with a closed face that becomes strong dynamically. This video seems to advocate starting the grip strong. For me personally I would think it’s easier just to start strong and perceive it as hitting a nail to the target with a sledgehammer. Can either method work, or am I misinterpreting something?

The great thing about the lasso reference is I can physically connect with that sensation just sitting in my chair 🙂 I really want to be able to get this someday, and as you said in your last youtube video, there’s hope for all of us!!! Thank you Shawn

Shawn, I have been a premium member for a few years. My game has improved since. But my 3 wood has been a problem of inconsistency lately. And my 3 wood was and my go-to club. This last video reminded me of a few forgotten ball position gems you have taught me. In my last round of golf, I was crushing my 3 wood again. So thanks again for your great videos!!

Good morning Shawn. I apologize for using the wrong medium here, but I couldn’t find an email address. Just wondering, have you ever thought about offering a course where people could become certified instructors of you’re method? I’ve always wanted to be an instructor, but I have to walk the walk first. Also, have you ever thought about doing clinics?

Shawn, struggling with contact! I have tried looking at a spot in front of the ball, however today I tried something else. I looked at a spot right or left of the intermediate point like 16-20 inches in front of the ball, contact improved significantly. Is this what you’re talking about? Is that to far in front of the ball? I cannot see the ball, just the blur of it and the club passing through that intermediate point. My focus is always on hitting the ball and I have to end that or quit golf, it has become extremely inconsistent, but not looking at the ball seems to help a lot! Would this work with driver?

Hey Shawn,
How do you use an axe with chipping?

Seb

Hey Shawn,
Thanks for your content:)

Trying to practice the axe drill on chipping I have noticed that the angle between my arms and the shaft of the club has changed dramatically. In my backswing before my club was more one the blue line position(see attached pic), now with the axe drill my club is more on the green line and I feel the weight of the arms club unit much better 🙂

You suggested this is my analysis and it REALLY clicked for me today. Incredible ball striking! Adding the wrist hinge + this is going to really make some big gains for me. The ball was flushed over and over today! Thanks Shawn.

Is this a under arm throw or side throw ?

This is fantastic! Exact drill I need!

Hi, I have 2 questions:

At address, is the lead hand thumb nail facing 1) away from the target, 2) forward or 3) in between?

At address, is the humeral head neutral while the forearm is pronated? Or is the humeral head internally rotated while the forearm is also pronated?

When you say falling, does it kind of feel like the body is moving the arm-club unit? I think I’m starting to understand what you mean.
Awesome video!

Hey Shawn, quick question on target and intermediate point. Should my focus be on delivering my task over the intermediate point or to a target in the distance. Seems easier to stay focused on the intermediate point. In other words, is the intermediate point more for alignment to deliver task to target, or can my focus be a feeling of throwing the club over the intermediate. Please forgive my rambling thoughts
