Hi Shawn, I don’t think I’ve come across any of your videos that speak to swing weight. Can you please share your thoughts on this? From what I can tell based on your methods, i would want a decent swing weight that would enable me to feel the clubhead…when i think of tennis ball on string, or hammer for example….as opposed to an club/iron that just feels like a stick, bc of inadequate swing weight.

Hi Shawn – I love this drill. After a couple perpetual swings, I can always feel the levitation and kinetic chain engage, which helps me use the ground instead of the arms. My low point is also super consistent. My issue is achieving this feeling from a static position. Since I don’t have the momentum taking me back like I do in the PMD, I find my backswing to be much more clunkier and not as smooth. Do you have any tips or videos to help me achieve the same feeling as the drill? Thank you in advance!

Great drill Shawn, I had a hook that would have impressed Mike Tyson and this is sort that out

Shawn,
My god… 325y with driver with ease… This is awesome!!!

I’ve been practicing my kinetic chain yesterday and seeing great progress. Practicing is now so much fun when you have a clear task and understanding of your swing.
2022 season starting tomorrow. 😉

Cheers,
Yann

Hi Shawn, I’ve been having pain in my lead thumb when I’m trying to release the club. I can’t tell if it’s my grip or not enough yield in my lead hand during the release.

As far as the grip goes, I’ve tried your advice of switching to a strong grip. But idk where lead my thumb is supposed to rest at address. Is it to the side of the grip with the club face square, or is it on top of the grip but I rotate the club face slightly closed before gripping it? Which way would make it easier for my lead hand to yield?

So good as always. I have a question about target though. I set up and try to deliver the club in the direction I want the ball to start – having the end target in mind?. Hmm with chip shots I have the landing spot as my target. For longer shots I am a bit confused. On the fairway – still landing spot – or end target. Into the green I pick a landing spot – not the hole.
The funny thing – this is what I always “teach” my talented fellow golfers. I always say to them – Don´t worry about positions. You have the talent. What is your target? – Go there! Your body will lead you there. However I never thought this could occur to me as well LOL. Thank you Shawn.

HelloShawn, enjoying the content and your enthusiasm. The “hit” mentality has always been a challenge for me. First understanding that is what I do and then working on it. My original breakthrough on this was with George Knudson’s book “The Natural Swing” which I find has similar components to yours. What you have been able to do is make sense of it in a way that translates. Now if I can just take it onto the course … Bring on the season ! Thank-You

Hi Shaun,
Wife has had her first lesson at 64 years of age. Her coach has given her a neutral grip. Should I intervene and advocate a strong grip?

Im still slicing the ball with this grib. Please help.

Great video but I need help to stop slicing the ball.

Hi Shawn,

Love the videos. I’ve been playing golf for 15yrs with a neutral grip. With all your impressive videos I saw on youtube, I decided to give your grip a shot. I was amazed. On my first outing to the range I immediately gained 20 yards on all my clubs! Not the driver yet though lol. As a reference, I used to hit my 7i 160yard, but now I hit it 180! Your tennis grip analogies is what had me convinced. To many, the service grip just doesn’t make sense, because it feels awkward. I played college tennis and was Nationally Ranked in my 20’s and 30’s, I’m now 49. What’s unique is with the strong grip my arms feel heavy, with the neutral grip I couldn’t really tell what my arms or hands were doing. Now it sometimes feels like I’m switch hitting (I’m right handed). My question is this; I’ve noticed that on many of my videos I have a tendency to stand up at impact, like I’m getting out of the way of my arms. Do you feel that’s distance to ball or lack of throwing the club to the target? Thank you for sharing such great tips!
Best Regards,
Rich Silverio

I’m have just strengthened my grip. I don’t quite understand how you hit the fade. Is it in the setup or is it what you do with your hands when you come through the ball?

Is diagonal stance similar to the closed stance or is it aiming whole body including shoulder line diagonally? I drawed little too much on a few tee shots when I aimed whole body diagonally right of IP.

Shawn, do you have a release feel while you are performing your tasks and if so, what or perhaps better yet, “where” is it? Do you feel the snap/release just after the ball, 3-4 feet after the ball or even farther after the ball?

Do you feel more of your left side pulling through and up to the finish, or your right side throwing under and through to the finish? Or perhaps both simultaneously?

Thanks
Mark

Hello Shawn, great one again, thanks!
When you target a short distance, we can see and feel you are using gently the weight of the arm-club unit. But on your first shots, you are really snapping the club, and I feel you are accelerating the club with the arm. Is it a false impression ? No change in the way you let the club fall in both shots?
