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.

Everything i throw heads to the left of my target.

I’ve thrown clubs before but always with a short iron. I struggle with the fairway woods, brought an old fairway wood to my home course at a quiet time. Threw the club using a full swing before each fairway wood shot. Started with slight pulls left, just kept throwing it until I got a nice release and the club flew into the target. Then hit the shot using the same feel, best contact I’ve ever had with a fairway wood. Thanks for this Shawn, I really thought I was releasing properly to the target, this drill is very revealing.

This is one of my favorite explanations of the new grip. I have been trying the strong grip and my left wrist,(I swing right handed), was strained because my right grip was strong and my left hand was not in the right position.
This grip takes the strain off my left wrist and will allow the release of the club with the left wrist.

Wow! Wow!

Shawn, you’re a saint! I am closing the driver about 40 degrees, I can now pick a target LH side of fairway with an intermediate point of course and hit a nice fade with full confidence it’s in play!
I can swing at 80% and have zero fear!
Wow, amazing. I hate a strong grip and neutral with a closed face is an absolute game changer.

Why on earth does no one teach this?
Shot an 82 today!

Hi Shawn Could you clarify which indoor tees should be matched with different clubs. Size specifically. Thx
