Range of motion is king! Have you done some club throwing yet? Like serious club throwing?

Hey Jason! Darn! Sorry I missed this one! Just answered Robert and saw this.
OK, what you want to always gauge these questions with is your task towards the target. In the 2020-21 off season training series, we talk about leverage in the posture and this forward posture with lower hands is what ALLOWS YOU TO GET DEEPER THROUGH THE BALL and not stand up tall and swing AT THE BALL with no leverage. Then you want to see “kinetic chain facilitation series” to really feel the ground use delivering the task!

Head comes up with right shoulder into finish BIG TIME!! And no, not too nit picky at all! Good observation and would need context of video to understand the head staying down longer; which is NOT what you want; what you want is to simply stay with the direction of the arc-blur.

Hey Jamison! This is the reason why we don’t think about where the sternal notch is anymore; because we suck at body parts! HOWEVER, when you step into the shot to perform the draw, the key is that you feel that the momentum will deliver to the right of the IP WITHOUT FORCING IT THERE, AND the low point feels like it is in front of the ball. Then you have optimal positioning of the body parts! See “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”

Hey Matthew!
please see “important grip update” video which will tend to this comment completely!! Enjoy!

See “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” and learn how to hit shots that way; also “shawn’s new favourite drill” is excellent for that. Then see “pumping up the swing volume”

When on course, it is easy to get tight and careful and your backswing then does not gather enough momentum to get through the ball with ease; see “open up the machine on course”, the “pre-motor cortex series” and the “unstoppable momentum series” to lock in on the feel BEFORE YOU TAKE THE SWING.

Hi Jonathan! Use the comment section right here to ask anything you want!! What are the things you are struggling with in your game and I will point you to the videos that will help big time; I am your personal Valet just like at a fancy hotel! Come on, give it a try!

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?
