With doing the hammering demonstration, the trail hand / right wrist is flat, throughout swing.

I always thought in the golf swing, one wanted to get the trail wrist into a flexed, “waiter holding tray” position, at the top of the backswing. Incorrect?

Dear Shawn. I am a student of Édouard in France, and I was close to make the mistake of going to a “classical” pro because I was not getting enough results. And since 3 or 4 weeks now, I think I found the wisdom of this great video and I am getting incredible fun especially with my driver. Still a way to go but it seems so easy when we deliver swing as you and Edouard explain… Thanks a lot for this video wrapping it all 👏

Bonjour Shawn, une question peut on avoir une leading hand avec un grip fort et une trailing hand avec un grip neutre ou bien doit on impérativement avoir un grip fort sur les deux mains?

I think this drill, along with the slow-motion drill are really good. I’m still working on my distance to the ball. Now let me ask this, how does this go with the grass whip drills? I assume I could this and use the grass whip to chop the dandelion stem as well.

Hi Shawn, I’ve just joined and am really enjoying the lessons and also your style of delivery, so thank you. I was really struggling with my golf last year/ early this year and was scoring over 100 regularly, mostly due to terrible inaccuracy and a bit of chipping yips thrown in for good measure. I started practicing the feet together drill which was working well and so I decided to take it onto the course. The result is that I am now no longer losing 6 balls a round and am scoring between high 80s and low 90s. I would like to get to a regular 14 handicap which involves a bit more improvement and consistency. The question is, What is the real advantage of this compared to feet together? It just seems there are less moving parts with feet together and less to go wrong. Thanks and best wishes from the UK

Hi Shawn-
New to the site. Working on the Lead hand release. Finding my ball flight is straight, but extremely high and spinny(sp), especially w the driver. Possibly bc I’m releasing it too early? Thanks. Really enjoy the site and info provided. I’m a 6.6 GHIN.

Hi Shawn, The driving range I use has only mats. Would the grass whip work on mats as well as on grass? I am thinking not but wanted your input.

Hey Chris! You bet!
see “lead hand release in the backswing” and “trail hand release in the backswing”
Another way is to super slow motion and super relaxed and wide until you feel you can whip it easily.

Hello Shawn,

I worked on my trail hand today at the driving range. My index finger position felt a little weird even though I was having good shots. Any tips to make it feel a little bit more comfortable ?

Here’s a screenshot of my current grip.

Thank you sir!

Hi Shawn, You mention the word tasks alot. I understand that you need to prepare a task in your mind and have the picture there before you swing. I would like to have the thought of skipping a stone on the water using my right hand because i feel i can generate a lot of power using my right hand to release the club. Is there anything wrong with this approach or Is there a better way?

Hi Shawn, long time youtube subscriber, now on Premium, i’m a little confused by the message here, if we’re task focussed and looking for the blur ark that matches our shot/target/task intention in our practice swing, surely thoughts about crossing the line or being laid off at the top are an unnecessary distraction? if the blur ark matches the intention surely you’re good to go? therefore trying to maniplulate the club to be laid off or across the line at the top is an side effect and a naural part of the processes and not the goal? its kind if like trying to see the back of your head in the mirror if that makes sense.
for the record i’m usually a little bit across the line at the top and have a little bit of a flying elbow, the extent varies depending on what i’m trying to achieve, but i dont chase it, it just happens, hope that makes sense, thanks

Hi Shawn, If the driver ball position is off the left instep or heel, will I not fade the ball all the time because the arc is coming inside by the time im hitting the ball? How would I hit a draw with driver? I cant move the ball right of center for the driver. Thanks

Shawn, FYI. 2 weeks ago i scored an 88 on a local golf course i play regularly. The next day I found you on youtube and started watching the free content. I got hooked and watched the whole week. I played the same course and applied what i had learnt. I scored an 81 with two 3 putts and a ball that unluckily plugged in the side of a bunker. I hit the most greens in regulation I have ever hit, hit my irons like butter , chipped and pitched better and sunk more putts from longer distances. It was a round i really enjoyed! So thank you!

The only thing i really need is more distance. Can you please point me in the right direction there?

To keep the rope on a string feeling the ACU feels like it is pulling out of the shoulder sockets. Like the feeling of tossing a sledgehammer. If I don’t have this feeling then I’m manipulating and not swinging? This taut rope feeling needs to be maintained through the backswing past the intermediate then released into the target?

Looking forward to the remaining 6 holes!
