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

I played my weekly round of golf yesterday and used your release/wait swing thought. That slight wait does create an effortless opportunity for the club to switch from backswing to downswing. I hit two really pure iron shots to the green thanks to this concept. The improvement in my accuracy with the driver did not disappear since last week’s round either. Feeling a bit like a golfer instead of a goofer.

Shawn. Followed you a long time. Stopped playing two years. Now 84 yes 84 and TYRING to come into game again. Few back issues so do you have ant empathetic suggestion and / or adjustments to your program I might consider. Shorter swing and so forth

The rotation of the hands in the backswing. If we are using your newest discovery in the grip (closed clubface with a neutral grip), do the hands still rotate going back?

This was a wow moment from my first swing analysis. Feeling the club release me was the major takeaway. Incredible snap / sound off the club face and was absolutely mashing the ball. Great stuff as always Shawn!!! This is in the favorites!

Hi Shawn,

I have found a video on youtube of the throw for chipping. Seems to be compliant with the wisdom in golf method right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgjAcoPFfOg

I’ve tried few small chip seems to be working 🙂

Well I’m new to the channel and just watched a few vids on the grip. Now getting +10 m on my irons with less effort. I now know I shot putt the club! Makes total sense. Can’t wait to try that new info out on the range. When will I stop getting better??
