Still confused about the set up for this. Do you align first with the feet parallel to the target line or the line to the right edge of the shaft? Same with the face of the club, do you align the face to the target and if so how do you do that with a face that you close for a draw and a face that you open for a fade? Do you do this when you first set up and then what about the braced stance? doesn’t everything change again? I have looked at your beginner series and other videos and still not sure how to set up. Please cover this for me and not refer to other videos, because I have looked and can’t find a simple explanation. I think this could be covered better in the beginner series.
Hi Richard!
The reason why you are struggling is that you are coming to the table with pre-conceived STATIC NOTIONS.
Ignore the club face because that changes dynamically during the swing. We never talk about lining up the club face ever.
Do this: see “blur of club” and deliver a nice arc-blur over the chosen intermediate point and out into the direction you want to start the ball. Let you body set up naturally to accommodate this. Then adjust the face of the club more open or closed depending on how much curve you want to have after you deliver that whipping arc over that intermediate point.
What you line up is the flow of “unstoppable momentum” which is the other video to complement the “blur of club” video
Yup that was the video that I have been trying to find. Where I first saw you close the face with a neutral grip and causes you to get the club square by the tilt. It also caused the shaft lean that I was looking for. So now using this and Goldilocks for ball position should make it happen. Thanks
Yeah man!!!😀👍💪👌🤛
Hi Shawn
Love you approach and knowledge. One thing that struck me. I am a barrel chested 6 foot 2 guy, making room for my elbow through the ball has always been a challenge as it is a constant fight for me to keep my elbow away from my body in the back swing particularly when I am using the longer clubs. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

Hi Michael! Sorry I missed this one!
You need to see the “football drill series” and the “throwing series”
This will get you a terrific start and we can go from there after!

Hi Shawn!
I have run into an issue with my iron consistency and it really is the last barrier preventing me from dropping my scores significantly. I seem to be hitting fat again. I don’t think I am releasing at the ball because I know how that feels, and I definitely feel my kinetic chain engaging in the swing, I think it may be a mix of my strain level and possibly my setup.
With my woods and hybrids, I’ve evolved to point now where I never miss contact wise. I set up to the ball with my picture and intermediate point, and before I swing I just know, yup from this position and setup I can just whip the crap out of that ball towards my target. I have no issues plugging into the shot with my woods or hybrids.
With my irons, I just can’t seem to find that same comfort zone and confidence. I can’t seem to say, yup, I can whip through from here. I think my side vision could be playing tricks on me in terms of ball position with my irons. I will keep working at it with goldilocks but was wondering if there was a series on premium that you can recommend for me.
Hi Shawn! Please disregard this comment, nothing PMD and a doorframe can’t fix! 😀
Haha! Right on Dario! More on the door frame coming soon! Oooohhhh sweet stuff!
Also, do you hover the club in the air ever so slightly above the ground at address?
I will definitely give it a try tomorrow morning. I have played with that nugget in the past, thank you for reminding me of it! 😀
Little update for you Shawn, my confidence is really growing now with the irons! Sunday I shot an 86 with a horrible putting day and had a personal best back 9 of 41. This morning I played a quick 9 before work this morning and followed it up with my best 9 hole score ever, 39 with a string of 7 pars in a row. I can’t believe this is the golf I’m playing now and can’t wait to get out there again! Thank you so much for providing us with a system that allows us to find ourselves time and time again! Woohoo!
How sweet was that! 7 pars in a row is starting to get veeeery interesting Dario! Great on you dude and thanks for representing with gusto! 😀👍💪🔥💥
Shawn you frequently refer to the weight of the arm club unit. I often don’t feel that weight. Are there drills we can do to appreciate that feeling?
See our “how to use the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” and perform the axe drill and hit shots with it; it will get you that understanding and you will love the feel!
