Hey Shawn, with your teaching I’ve gained 15 to 20 yards on my irons. Thank you! However I can’t tell if its the shaft flex that is now to weak due to the swing speed increase that is causing me to pull my shots or not staying on task with throwing the club in the direction of the target. In your experience, is pulled shots a result of the task or possibly not stiff enough shafts? I can get the ball to go to the target but its a compensation I believe by having to aim further right and really start the ball right of the intended target. Thank you, Josh

Hi Shawn yeah did swing freely aiming left swinging right have been trying to get a draw can’t seem to do it this why but also been practicing with your diagonal stance hitting the ball well hard to tell the ball flight hitting into an old net but it seems like its starting right of the target weather it is drawing back have to wait till i play cheers Steve

Hello Shawn,

First off thanks for the content, good stuff. I am in need of help. I have watch and performed drills; the arc blur, sending the stem to the target, the step drill, the spinner drills, door frame. All great stuff and they work and I was getting better. Able to shape the ball, it was getting to fun and cool. Currently – my practice swing over the ball, or next to the ball is great, able to stick the finish is great, if feel it and know it. But lately…..when that ball gets in front of me, its like a switch, a mental one, and I can’t get past this. And when it is happens I stop and do more practice (arc blur, stick finish) and but it is not working. When I execute I am crouching the ball (loosing my tush line)….ending on my toes and I am early extended. No Y or hands leading the club head at impact. I know I am doing it but I can’t stop it. I think the big thing, if I am able to get my hips in front and stick the finish the rest will follow. But I can’t do it when its time to send it down to the target. But I can with my practice swings…..its amazingly frustrating. Can you help, What is your suggestion. Give up on Golf!!!??? lol

Hey Shawn,

I have always suffered from not being able to shift while my arms are going up still without overdoing it. I have suffered from bad transition/weight shift in general.

Any other videos besides this one that can supplement more info on transition and shift?

It looks like you and Sav give yourselves a “running start” You seem to gently stamp down you right foot while Sav seems to do a forward press. Or is the “running start” more of a feeling, or both?

Sometimes the basics are the best….. the timing of this is perfect for me. Thanks Shawn, you’re the best!

Are you letting your hands or arms drop to a certain point before engaging the legs and getting the weight over to lead side?

Love this drill, going to be a staple clip tee in the yard.

Today at the range, I have embraced my natural fade. Two years of releasing the hands earlier was a disaster. Right and left came into play.

I gained an easy 20 yards by pumping by legs a bit with a nice 5 yard fade on my mid irons.

I would like to work the ball more but I need a break from trying. 😂

Should we be letting the arms drop at the top of the backswing and then shift weight over? Or hands drop?

Hi Shawn,
throwing the club, you release to the right of the alignment rod. Is that a setting for a draw? If you throw for a fade, where would the club go?

Shawn,
I am left handed and it doesn’t matter if I am hitting Driver or my Irons I am hitting a high fade almost fills like I am trying to help with the release . The ball is flying off to my left, When I fill like I am doing it right I get a nice high draw, I want that feeling more what can I work on? I will be doing another lesson with you real soon. Just trying to get better will throwing the club me?

Hey Shawn,

Really enjoyed the playing videos. Only thing better would be if I was there plying with you, my course management sometimes is the cause of my blowup hole.
I had double bypass surgery just 7 mos. ago and got allot of time to watch wisdom of golf instruction. I am now on the course every week putting those gems to good use and just wanted to say thank you! I am 60 yrs. Old and playing to a 10 hcp. and slowly lowering that back to an 8 which is where I was before surgery.

Hello Shawn….another great video series. I have lowered my handicap by 12 strokes these last 2 seasons thanks to you videos. I was wondering if you had some advice for when your swing starts getting quick on the downswing during a round. I usually start out with great tempo, direction and contact, but somewhere around the 12th or 13th hole my brain starts trying to speed up my down swing…..resulting in pulls to the left and slight hooks, felling like my body and shoulders are getting in front of the ball,…even when I tell myself “slow down” before I swing, I just can’t seem to get back in synch! Thanks and keep these videos coming as they are a huge help!

What about Moe Norman and his setup? He was a good distance from the ball. What made his setup so successful?

Shawn my neighbors think I’m crazy now they watched me tossing hammers and old clubs at trees.
