I don’t know how to create a draw so I have problems trying to understand what was going on And that video. Dog away I am enjoying the videos
See “working the ball” and “goldie locks series” and then “draw fine tuning” in premium;
We just uploaded the beginner series where the last video #6 in the series is on working the ball; enjoy!!
Awesome. The one area which stands out for me at the moment which needs attention is my driving. I just can’t hit a draw. I can work hard and hit a straight-ish shot (tiny fade) when I line up square and can hit a bigger fade when I open up my stance. I feel that I’m fighting and manipulating whenever I try the draw. I tend to push it whenever I release to the right of my intermediate point with the driver. I think this nugget is something that will help with that. I’ll definitely give it a good go and let you know!
Come to think of it now, a fade comes more naturally with the longer irons for me. So I’ll definitely to try it with the long (3,4) irons too.
Right on Qerim! Looking forward to your feedback!

Shawn, Please clarify a few things for me about the alignment and setup: Are your shoulders parallel to your feet line? Do you plan your swing path to match your shoulder line or feet line? Do you ever set up with the clubface square to the swing path? Thank you in advance for your reply.
The answers are NO-N0 AND NO.
Alignment is for momentum
Club face is adjusted DYNAMICALLY for how much you want the ball to curve
Intermediate point is king in setting up the direction of momentum and flow of swing.
See my original “working the ball” video on premium.
Shawn, Why do you always curve the ball? Moe hit every shot straight. I studied and played Moe’ s swing for ten years. I quit his method because it ruined my short game and would blade my wedges. Guess, Moe did not need a short game. I returned to a low hands swing about 5 years ago. I think you are a great resource for golf instruction.
The straight ball was Moe’s “SHTICK” during his clinics; people just loved watching how straight he could hit it; but if you placed him on the GC Quad, it would always have a small curve in it; either fade or draw. The key is that we are swinging around a center and are using angular momentum.
Tennis is more powerful with a curve ball, soccer as well and big time in Ping Pong or table tennis. A ping ping flat backhand is way less powerful than a top spin back hand. So when you place the swing to try and steer a straight ball, you lose distance and accuracy. Way better to let the club release you in the direction you want the ball to go than to place it there.
Shaun,
With this particular video and your diagonal stance series videos…
are you changing your teaching philosophy? Or just providing options to your past alignment and ball position videos? Thx in advance for your reply.
Options!! 👍😀
Many did not have this option and it has come through clear as a bell for those who needed it;
I blend it in there from mid to long irons to woods for certain shots; and also very much enjoy my baseline stance and alignment set ups.
Great question and thank you for asking!
Shawn
