Hi Shawn,
I just thought of something that I may have missed. When I line up my body, as a lefty, to the left edge to hit a draw , where is the club face supposed to be aimed? Is it facing left edge too or straight down the ball line?
Hi James!
this is why we call it a grip-clubface relationship. See the “goldilocks series” on this topic as well as the draw fine tuning video”. What you see at address is not what will be at impact at all. It is merely a millisecond in time. When you allow momentum to flick the tee into a nice summersault into the direction you want to start the ball and stay that way into a full release, what is the ball flight? Then fine tune the grip and club relationship until you see the flight patterns you like. EVERYONE is different.
Hey Shawn,
I did not understand your answer.
My main question is “where should the club face be pointing in the initial setup, regardless of the grip”?
In our lesson, I was pointing the face straight ahead with super strong grip. After watching the video, I think I should have had the driver facing to the left of intermediate target with a strong grip. Then, back off if it was drawing/hooking too much. Correct?
I can have a weak, strong or neutral grip with face pointing down the ball line or to the left of target.
Feeling foolish. I am not sure why I thought I should aim the clubface straight down the line to where I want the ball to end up and then try to swing to the left along the intermediate point. Trying to hard, I guess.
Hi James! Sorry for the tardy reply! See “draw fine tuning” and “the goldilocks series” in the grip and club face video. Everyone is different!
Hi Shawn.
I just watched the diagonal stance series before coming to this video. I love the idea and after a few practice swings I felt that it helped me release the club better and more comfortably. I will try to implement it this weekend.
However, in this video it seems that for the 9-iron you advocate a slightly open stance whereas in the diagonal series, to hit a draw with any clubs, you advocate a diagonal stance in relation to the target. Should I apply the diagonal stance for all clubs or should the stance change depending on the clubs used as mentioned on this video?
Thanks
Great question!
For those older students with limited mobility, the diagonal stance on all shots is a great option! If you don’t have any issues with mobility, you get to choose! They are both great!!😀👍
