Sensei! Just had a session from 15 yrs ago pop up – when we first discussed weight shift v pressure – what took the world so long to catch up!!! Do you think we could do this series (best of) wth tracer and use Sav, Mu and you to demonstrate!!
I reckon we could destroy another 500 myths that have evolved from single frame “hacks”
Love this game –
Great to see you Marc! Love your enthusiasm, always a great way to start my day; love it! 👍🫶
shawn how do u use an intermediate point out on the course
If you can’t find one, because the course is in good shape, set up right beside the ball for a practice swing, do a few PMD’s and scuff the grass back and through for a count of 4 or 5 and then back off and come face the target line and see what direction the scuffs are going; simply line up according to what you see and boom, you are set! And legal!
This was a stance ( right foot back) which I was advised to use for the slice. Never ever thought it can be part of the swing permanently.
With that said I have spent 3 days on a range, keeping an object as my intermediate point, setting a target and pushing my glutes / hams down ( as you asked me to flex more), my take on the swing along with this was a game changer for me.
The fact that with diagonal stance combined with IP (the two have to go hand in hand as I found out the hard way) along with the setup which is tilted, “EVERYTHING” that one is taught and the swing thoughts of arm movement, wrist position, weight shifting, hips clearing, elbows, hinge, follow through, is no longer a thought or a concern. It just simplifies the swing and gets results!
Few concerns:-
Now that is a fun learning ride right here; wonderfully written!
Simply narrow the stance to almost feet together for chips and pitches and see where this takes your stance; and the adjustment with club face is terrific; as long as you are using the intermediate point and matching backswing direction to intended ball direction.
See “how to match backswing to ball direction” video to confirm
Shawn, ive been shanking and coming from the top on demand, no matter how much if focus on the task.. so i went closed stance and the tendency to hit from the top is gone.. though im pulling my shots .. i think its just the timing of my release because its like more of a power draw rather than a straight pull to the left . my question is do the convention parallel stance block the path of my downswing causing me to hit from over the top regardless whether im target focused?
This is very cool feedback Christian! Take this stance we call the “diagonal stance” and first see this series of videos (diagonal stance series) and then see “blur of club” and “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” to direct the momentum where you want the shots to go!
Hi Shawn! Thanks for placing those orange markers around you for reference. It gave me a better perspective of where you are in relation to your targets. I’ve had two lessons here in San Diego. One at Torrey Pines, and each time the coaches were trying to force me into a swing position when my brain was telling me, “can you cut the dandelion stem through the right side of the intermediate point?” When I explained the method I was learning from you both coaches were intrigued but dismissive. I don’t know how this online coaching is going to work but until I can get to you, I’ll book one and see what happens. I’m hesitant because I don’t know if an iPhone is an appropriate way to common my swing. Thanks for really helping enjoy the game.
Hey Robert!
since we started our online lessons, we have had a nice contingent of students rely on the weekly coaching with amazing results; most are still there after a year of weekly lessons! That tells you it works in spades! My Mondays and Fridays are booked heavy with only online lessons and I am getting ready to close the gate for a while…
