Hi Shawn , when you take a practice swing above the ball to see the blur of the club how do you lower the stance to the right height. Do you bend over from the hips or do you bend the knees to lower the body? Thanks for any advice.
Ney Marcus! Everything lowers like a squat in the gym; you need to simply stay in balance; see “pumping up the volume” video as well as “feet together back to feet apart” and the new “kinetic chain engagement” series.
hi shawn, although i know i have to throw or butt catapult with my legs and hips I regularly keep on doing this also with my arms, with bad results. Is there a drill or a method to keep the arm club unit passive when i am at the top of the backswing.? thx ,ernst
Hi Ernst! Yes! Check out the “pumping up the volume” video; there is no way to use the arms in this manner!
Trying to understand what drives the distance for my new driver as I have same/similar ballspeed and launch angle as you but ends up 50y shorter 😀 Is it the spinn left to check or is it also things like smashfactor and swing speed I need to check? Using a Ping G410 from last year with a 60g stiff shaft and 9degrees reduced -1 degree and flat setting.
Hi Fredrik! It is definitely the flatter swing and the lack of use of your legs to create the G-forces necessary to create more Smash factor. See the latest series we did on off season training!
Thanks, working my way thru the consistency series and the off season ones 💪🤘
hi Shawn, you teach us the throw and the butt catapult, the football and the battering ram. Do I see it correct if i see the throw as the structure and the other 3 as parts of it ? So, after a training butt catapult ,do I have to go back to focus on the throw ? thx Ernst and for all your advises in 2020
Hi Ernst! What you want to do is use the analogy that resonates with you the best and perfect that one and plug it into your golf swing to get you to release deep into the picture target flight plan! 😀👍
Hello Shawn! Just found you and love the imagery in the video lessons and your enthusiasm is infectious! I’m on a mission now to become really good.
Anyway, you talk about wanting to curve your shots and the need to open and/or close the face as appropriate. But what is the right way to open or close the face? It looks like you are adjusting the position of the hands at address to accomplish this? And is there a difference between opening the face for a fade with an iron, and opening up the face for a lob shot with a wedge?
And just to be 100% clear, you are recommending shaping shots with two adjustments, the combination of ball position and open/closed club face, correct? No adjustment by making an open or closed stance?
Alright; the best videos to go confirm the questions you have are the “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning”
fade: aim and swing in the direction you want to start the ball-ball position forward of centre-face “less closed” than draw by a couple degrees
draw:aim at the end target, play ball back of centre and swing in the direction you want to start the ball with a face closed enough that the ball will curve back to target;
-see also “goldie locks series” and “predict contact” videos
Thanks Shawn.
But I think my “real” question about the proper way to open or close the face was superseded by my second question. So let me ask this, is it fair to say that opening and closing the face is accomplished by rotating the club open/or closed before taking your grip?
Never mind – I think I found what I needed in the Goldilocks Clubface video. So cool!
Correct! 😀👍💪
