Yes, it should feel like you are already in motion at address coming from the follow through; next you want to see “perpetual motion drill series” on premium

Hey Jonathan;
what you don’t realize is that it can be different for everyone! The FORMATION OF THE HANDS ON THE CLUB does not change; it is a GRIP-CLUB FACE RELATIONSHIP.
If you watch the “draw fine tuning” video, you will see a way to adjust that grip-club face relationship for you.
The bottom line is that when you let the momentum release you in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball flies the way you want it to. I just got back from a week in Austin TX where the father had a semi-strong grip with an open face and the son had a semi strong grip with a closed face. Both are hitting 3 yard draws with it.

So you just can’t look at it the way you were with “the thumb has got to be there and the index here and the face there…” deal. The purpose is that it feels secure and ready to compress and stay together through the swing and support the swing and shape of the shot.

Hey Gregg! The weight shifts naturally from 60-40 address (ready to swing to target mode) to 70-30 top of backswing favouring the inside of the right foot because the weight of the arms is on that side and then fluctuates back to 60-40 through impact in favour of left side and then 85-15 in the finish favouring left side. Your arms are about 15 to 20 % of body weight and when they swing they affect the centre of gravity and the body naturally predicts how to brace to allow you to stay with your task of delivering grass clippings or divots or dandelion stems to target!

Glad you enjoyed that Nate! We will do another one before the season ends; we will try to do one on a windy day!

Hey Gregg! I know where you are coming from; the key is to look at the purpose of everything; see “perpetual motion drill series” and “kinetic chain series” and realize that we are not still or static at address, we are already in the follow through (weight into left side slightly) and in the process of swinging into the backswing to gather range of motion and momentum so we can easily facilitate the engagement of our natural reflex action called the kinetic chain towards the target.
Quarterbacks, baseball pitchers and hitters, martial artists,boxers, you name the sport or discipline in track and field to propel objects, it is all the same kinetic sequence!

I took a two-year break from Wisdom in Golf and tried a different swing method. However, due to a knee injury (not golf-related) and the effort required to use the technique, I decided to return here. For the past month, I have been practicing and getting mixed results. Some days, I can do no wrong–I strike the ball brilliantly and get positive comments from the guys at my range. Other days, my swing falls apart. Yesterday was one of those days. A video of my swing revealed that I was swaying.

I am still confused about the bracing in the lead leg. What percentage of the weight should be on the lead side at the address? How much weight gets transferred to the back leg during the backswing? You state above that weight transfer begins before the completion of the backswing. Is this possible if you have a pause at the top? Lifting the heel of the lead leg would require nearly all the weight to go to the back foot. How can you still brace from the front leg?

Glad you are enjoying it! What do you think would be different for the 18-25 HDCP?

The concluding remarks in this video were quite helpful. It got me think because my sense is a higher handicap with a lesser skill set has to approach a hole different so they can have less stress about their shot and task. (Even the comment above was a gold nugget…about gauging if you go for it…if you feel like it is on the edge then it opens you up to the possibility of strain. Makes a lot of sense.)

For example, how do you break apart a hole if you can’t hit a 220 4 iron? (I think that was in the 2nd video!) A higher handicap has to account for a wider spray angle, more obstacles that get in the way for their shot shape (maybe they only have 1 shot shape that day?), maybe look for the best place to favor in case of a miss. (how do you pick that?) Resetting themselves after a bad miss. I know it is a long list.

What I appreciated most was how you explain your process and how you are approaching a hole. Can’t remember which one it was but you mentioned some obstacles you were trying to avoid so you picked a club that would make that possible. It was now a low stress shot for you.

The short of it is, as you go through a hole, you know answers because you know the better/important questions to ask. It would be helpful to see what questions you ask a lesser skilled/experienced golfer about their approach to a hole once they explain what they are thinking in their approach. We could learn from what you ask them regarding their approach given their skill set. My guess is there are things they are not paying attention to that are important for them with their skill set to have a better round.

I guess this is getting toward the mental approach of golf and more tactical but does that make sense?

Would a round of with a 220 driver, 200 3 wood, 190 5 wood, 180 3 iron or 7 wood, 170 4 hybrid, 160 5 iron, 150 6 iron, 140 7 iron, 130 8 iron, 120 9 iron, 110 PW, 100 gap wedge 90 sand wedge and 80 Lob wedge from the white tees work?

It would.

As an aside really enjoying the Jammie Lett videos on Youtube. Sometimes hearing the same thing applied then explained in a slightly different way by someone else who understands, just locks in the concept. Good find!

A great find in deed! Love the new addition to our teaching faculty!

Great question! Now, if you feel you need to flush it to get there on that second shot, you are setting yourself up to STRAIN. You must feel that you have plenty of club to get there if you just LaDeeDa it in the direction you want to send it. If you say, let’s try to get out there as far as possible and see if we get there, you are already straining mentally and this will have an effect on the timing of the swing and the kinetic chain will sputter…. GET THERE WITH EASE, both mental and physical! 👍👊👌😎

Thank you JJ!👌👍👊❤️

Work on the release for sure! See the “snap release polish video”
then work on fades! So many golfers overdo the anti-over the top inside to outside and develop a whole other set of problems! Simply throwing the club through the arc-blur to the right edge or left edge for fade is IMPOSSIBLE TO GO OVER THE TOP. When throwing the club, the club lags behind the hands and has NO CHOICE but to come from the inside. If you add YOUR anti over the top on top of that it become overkill.

Why was over the top a problem in the first place? Target was ball. Change the target, and the way to get there, and no more over the top.

You bet Justin! And you will enjoy the short game and putting for sure as it relates immediately to the full swing. Looking forward to more feedback! Enjoy “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” and “backswing levitation” and “the throwing series” and “kinetic chain facilitation series” just to name a few that work with what you are describing here. Oh, a couple more: “how to match backswing to ball direction”, “blur of club” and all the “arc blur unstoppable momentum” videos…👌👍

Would have to see that; send me a clip face on please at [email protected]!
Shawn

will do! thanks

Yes, this was one of the first series we did; did you see any differences?

Use the “Senior series” and the “long and straight driver series” as global overall series.

HOW SWEET IT IS!! Great discovery in awareness!! Thank you for posting!!
