Shawn my wife is struggling with a sway, I searched using your search function but there’s no results; what video would you recommend that covers this fix?
See the series I did with my yoga teacher Chantal Emond!

Hi Shawn. I’m lefty and I can’t fade the ball if my life depended on it. My shots are always pushed left even though my focus stays on my desired shot shape and intermediate point. Either they are straight left (so to the intended final target) or they start left And start turning on top of that. The blur of the club goes over my intermediate point from my perspective. No issues with draws. 1) could the diagonal stance be contributing to that and 2) could it be that I’m overdoing “stay behind the ball”? Closing the face just lowers the ball flight or pulls the shot right.
Thank you
Eric
Yes, it could be that you are too far behind the ball! See “4th video of the consistency series” on premium!
Great visual from behind the ball to see your red to blue or blue to red instruction. Need something similar to better see your right or left of intermediate point instruction. I am a right hand golfer. When I try to move ball back in stance, I push right or fade which seems the opposite result. Also get opposite result when I move the ball forward. That gives me a hook or a pull. So that seems to lead to alignment over intermediate point or the amount of pre closing of my club face. Thanks
This is a classic case of NOT STAYING with the shot. When the ball is back, you get ahead of it and block fade; when the ball is forward, you are behind it but release AT THE BALL and double cross.
We first need a feel for staying behind the ball-see “hammer drill” video on premium, then see “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” as well as the first video and the 4th video in the “consistency series” on premium.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the suggestions. Got some homework to do. 😀
Shawn
Watched all the videos you suggested. Immediate improvement when I began to stay centered. I think I finally understand the hammer drill stance is not just to address the ball. It is also what you should look like when you make contact with the ball during you swing!!
I have always had problems with swinging out into the picture. Still working on that side of the shot.
Thanks so much!!
You bet! Keep plugging along and evolving with this; good things are a coming!!😀👍😎
Shawn, you have gratefully resurrected my swing after several abdominal surgeries. After three years I am finally just creaming the ball.
I am a little confused on the Diagonal Stance swing paths for draws and fades. Do we still swing a little across the line at the top for draws and a little more rearward for fades? Thank you.
See Brandogill2000 ‘s post! Very good!
Also, don’t think about across the line at the top; think about what matches the direction you want to cut the stem of the dandelion on; see video #4 in the consistency series called mile markers for direction!
Shawn
Thank you, Shawn, for continuing the Diagonal Stance series. Looking forward to continuing this on the range. I want to ensure I have my picture set up correctly.
For Right-handed golfer:
Draw = Aim at target, ball position towards the back, strong grip, throwing the club to the right of the intermediate point.
Fade = Aim left of target, ball position towards front, less strong grip, throwing the club to the left of the intermediate point.
Is that correct?
Thank you!
Yes, this is correct! 😀👍
