Hey Shawn,
After having watched your New Favorite Drill a thought occurred to me about focusing on a task. As the hands lead the club head through impact, today on the range I focused on that, delivering the handle of the club over the intermediate point towards the target. My hybrid results were markedly better as I’d been battling snap hooks in recent weeks. In your opinion is this task too much about body position ( insuring the hands lead the club head through impact) or could this be a task worth focusing on in future practice session? Thx

Hey Shawn,
With this driver setup for accuracy and the ball teed lower, you’re saying the swing path should be more sweeping like a fairway wood or hybrid with a light tap on the ground at the bottom of the arc? Thx

Hey Shawn!
You continue to engrain many of the same aspects of your approach to teaching the golf swing across many of your videos, which I think is terrific. They should overlap a little bit. I liked the term “Heavy Momentum” used in this video. It registered with me because I like to feel the weight of the clubhead throughout the entirety of my swing. These are the small nuggets golfers need to hear in a variety of ways because we all interpret the process and the task a little bit differently. All the best!

Just watched your YouTube video posted 2 days ago “Perfect 337 yard next level golf swing release” and really liked the adding of left hand to sword drill/lasso drill. I can truly feel everything you have spoken of regarding release feel when I do that.

Hey Shawn, Today I was watching your The Move video from 5 years ago on you tube and have a question. In this video you mention Henrik Stenson and how at setup he has more weight on his trail leg Are you advocating this to aid in engaging the kinetic chain at the transition in your actual swing or just as part of a drill to practice to engrain a certain feel. Thx

Shawn,
Wonderful video. This obviously has a lot to do with timing of the “snap”
You refer to the slash towards the target.
Can you speak to the timing of WHEN the snap takes place during slash? Is it at impact? Or just before or just after the impact?
To me it would seem that it should take place at impact…hence the timing.

Thanks again,
Bob

Shawn, Can you confirm it is the sole of the driver that you picture sending the tip of the tee into your picture or the sweet spot clipping the tee tip. Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying that for me so promptly Shawn! Is there any shot in WIG that the hands do not come through first? I remember prior to becoming a member of your site I stumbled on a feel on the range with my driver that when I sensed the butt of the club coming throgh toward the target on the downswing I hit the ball much better. Then I became a premium member and voila there is your battering ram video that is exactly the sensation I felt when I stumbled on it back in the day! I would appreciate if you would advise if there are any exceptions on specialty shots etc where battering ram does not apply? Thanks so much!

Wow! That is not what my release feels like. Great tip about using the sword drill on the course to reinforce. I did it at the range this afternoon. Best I struck my irons in a while.

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
