What is your weight distribution at set up and during the swing? It appears to me you are favoring the front foot.
Yes, and the reason is I am getting ready to deliver my action through the ball and towards the target as well as I am partially into my follow through to give me a little momentum into the backswing. See “how to use the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy and then see “weight shift with Savy”
Hi Shawn,
2 important questions I’m a little confused about;
1. You mentioned keeping your elbows in front in a couple of your videos and I understand that it’s about being able to throw the club basically but what are you referring to/what are you keeping them in front of?
2. The take away is one piece and then the elbow folds and then the wrists hinge, that’s the end of your backswing. That’s great but not how you do it in your swing. What confuses me about that is the UP and weightlessness as I feel like I’m coming up first and then once the wrists hinge I can’t go up any more?
Thank you,
Rob.
Hi Shawn,
Just an additional query. I have always struggled with golf on the course, I can honestly hit it better with feet together and at the range I can hit it as well as anyone. I never hit the ball well on the course (it’s rare that I do) so good job I have my short game is tidy.
Today I went out and played on one leg using the trail foot on the big toe as I have done it before and it seemed to work ok. However, I hit a few at the range afterwards with the proper diagonal stance but it only works for me if I leave the trail foot down at impact. It’s almost like I’m bouncing on the toe of my back foot at impact due to perpetual motion.

Is this ok to do, my ball striking was excellent?

I can’t believe how closed that clubface needs to be on the driver…
Actually LOL, just rewatched the video and you’re anchoring too at one point! I have to anchor that back foot otherwise my hips don’t get out of the way and prone to shanking (even when I’m trying to swing to target I can shank for fun or just hit terrible shots). Anchoring with diagonal stance seems to get me out of the way.
Hi Shawn,
Can you clarify what you do in terms of how closed or open you move the face of your driver when you take your grip from your draw to your fade? I am struggling with getting the right amount dialed in. How many degrees different is your clubface Angle on the driver from say your power fade to your normal draw? I also think I might have how far right or left of the intermediate point I should be throwing my club to get the result I’m looking for. Any advice on that specific issue as well would be great. I am really liking the diagonal stance. I was constantly pulling the ball left and this cured that problem for sure.
Thanks Shawn,
Dave
For me it is just a couple of degrees from a draw driver-start with that-to a fade. And I stay very close to the intermediate point in front of the ball, grazing it on either side keeping it as tight as possible unless the hole is nice and open and you can go a little Bubba on it! 😀👍
This afternoon was the first time I tried the diagonal stance. My friend tried to tell me I was lined up wrong – way right, but when I hit this perfect draw around the lake edge down the right side of the fairway, he was impressed. It felt so good. On the next hole, I hit a fade to fit the dog-leg right of the fairway. It worked nicely, but I don’t seem to get as much distance when I fade my shot. I strained (pulled with my arms) on one fairway shot, and I sliced the ball. Is that because gravity isn’t letting the club face, the second pendulum close properly? I like what I’m seeing. I had two birdies in nine holes tonight.
Sounds like you Are simply opening the face too much on the fade; with driver, there should be no loss of distance unless you have 10.5 degrees or more on the face. The rest is prediction: see “goldie locks series” videos and “predict contact” as well as “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning”

Bonjour Shawn,
Est il possible d’avoir la sensation tout au long du mouvement d’avoir majoritairement le “poids” sur le pied droit (pour un droitier) de la position à l’adresse au baskswing et jusqu’à l’impact ? Et ensuite de se retrouver en appuis équilibré voire légèrement à gauche seulement au finish?
Encore merci de nous transmettre ta passion du golf et ta vision du swing et de son enseignement.
Cordialement
Jean Pascal
