Hi Shawn, I was interested in your response to Michael’s observation that the ball position for the fade appears to be outside your left big toe. Is that the case, or does it just appear that way because of the camera angle? Also, what is the correct position for the fade and draw for the driver, assuming normal playing conditions.
Also, on the draw, you set up where you want the ball to end…..correct? After that do you get behind the ball and aim a little right of your endpoint?
Thanks
Yes, for the draw; aim where you want to end and release where you want to start; the ball position needs to be in a spot where you will catch the ball on the way up and in the direction you want to start the ball; so ball position simply needs to match the flight plan and allow you to LET THE CLUB AND ARMS TRACK THE ARC IN THAT DIRECTION; the operative word being LET. 😀👍
My shot making has improved since I started concentrating on throwing the club to my target.
The way I express it is “the golf swing is a throwing motion”.
Hello Shawn, it looks like the ball is in front of your left toe for the fade On th driver is this correct or should the ball be inside your frame?
Ps: loving your work i’ve abandoned the RotarySwing in favour of your methods and I must say that it’s been a revelation. I’ve been practicing hard for 2 years and dont feel like the input is reflected by the output, however after adopting your principals in relation to cutting the grass rather than hitting at the ball and having a clear task with and start and end has instantly provided benefit. It freed my swing and massively increased club head speed. Do you provide online lessons if so after a few more weeks of practice i’ll send you some swings. Thanks Michael Green from Kent, England
Hi Michael! Thank you for the great comment and welcome to your last stop where now you get to have fun evolving and enjoying the progress in your process! Yes, we do have a terrific “skype” or “FaceTime” or “messenger” live video lesson program; see my “instruction” page on my main website at http://www.wisdomingolf.com
We will be offering a nice monthly program for that when I get to my new perch in Quebec City!

Hi Shawn, great session on the driver. I am practicing the lessons you describe. I am having success hitting the ball on the up swing and seeing improvements. My challenge is hitting the club face in a consistent spot, toe, then heal, then centre, and so on. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Drew
Hey Drew! Contact and direction is a centering inconsistency; the very latest videos coming out for the “consistency series” are exactly all about this! Go take a look! Shawn
HI SHAWN I WENT TO AN INSTRUCTOR AND SHE TEACHES A PURE ROTATIONAL SWING. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? I AM GETTING CONFUSED. THANKS,HARLEY
Hi Harley;
Sorry for the delay; lost my Ipad and had to get another this weekend; long story!
If she is showing you positions to hit, run! We are completely NOT MADE TO KNOW WHERE OUR BODY PARTS ARE. WE ARE TASK BASED MACHINES!
If you look at my “throwing the club” video on the regular channel on youtube, which is the “club speed” video on premium and you go find a nice SAFE PLACE TO DO THIS, you will see that your weight shift and body rotation will come all by itself like MAGIC!! Without thinking!!
