I love this video for a few reasons:
1. Cause you can just read Savy’s face and feel the frustration. I hate it for her, but I KNOW IT SO WELL! It’s nice to relate and see that there can be progress.
2. I have, what I think, such a hard time releasing the club face. Not sure I finish my turn, hold the l face open, or a combo. I’m curious when your hands are passing through to your left thigh to center of body (left handed swing) is it supposed to feel like the bottom outside pad of my right hand is passing through the ball then releasing (milliseconds) or is it more of the back of my right glove hand?
Hey Rusty! Do the test with the “golf swing has 2 pendulums” series as well as the “jackknife series” when you do these in slow motion in the downswing until your left index finger gets past the ball. Also, in the last lesson we did together, you will notice that when you get to the point where the hands past the ball and then you let the second pendulum release in slow motion, you see the approach from the inside and downwards, and you will also notice your head cannot be in front of the ball when this is going on which centres the swing and anchors the release past the ball and into the flight plan. The ultimate COLLECT THE BALL FROM WHERE IT LIES and RELEASE THE BALL INTO THE FLIGHT PLAN.
~2:50 – 2:55 was an ah-ha magic moment for me!
Yes! That is “battering ram” and “shawn’s new favourite drill” videos!👍😀
Hey Shawn,
I’ve watched this and other videos that you have on lag. If I understand what I’m supposed to do, I think that my biggest problem is shanking the heck out of it. I would rather hook 1000 balls instead of 1 shank. If this is correct, it’s a trust factor.
Thoughts are more than welcomed. They’re desperately needed! 😊
Peace,
Ron
See “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” and hit some shots with the drill until you feel comfortable with it; then send me the clip for analysis.
HI Shawn…how come I can’t view this video. It says I’m not subscribed. ??
Hi Gregory! If you are an Eagle member of the site, then you should be able to see this one; you will see it in the “Eagle Exclusive” section.
Lol. Thanks. I guess thats what the Eagle Session means in the title. I’ll upgrade. Just turning 49 and been playing golf since I was 10. I’ve read 100’s of golf books on playing and history and love the game. Followed all the great golf instructors over the years and overloaded my brain with position golf. I used to play great golf in grade school and high school because I didn’t think about positions, I thought about throwing my golf club down the fairway at my target. That was my only thought and I was a 6 handicap going into college. Well to keep a moderately long golfing career story short, I pretty much messed up my game for the past 30 years and struggled to get back to even a 15 handicap. These last two weeks I’ve spent with you, Sav and Moo(Not sure how to spell his short name) have brought me back to high school and my old game. You’re a brilliant golf instructor, coach and communicator and I’m not exactly sure how you evaded my radar. Your explanations of the game and your integration of anatomy and physics are perfect. This game isn’t that hard, you’re right, we just need to do what we are already wired to do. Look forward to one day having the opportunity to get some in person time with you and “nut” some golf balls. Keep being you and thanks for everything so far. Best………….Greg. PS: Pass on my thanks to Sav and Moo as well!
Right on Greg! I know, the waters got pretty muddied on youtube with every instructor trying to get attention; very hard to weed through! 😝. Thank you so much for the terrific message and so many of our members share the same story and this is what keeps me doing what I do. I will forward the message to Sav and Mu (Munashe) 😀👍❤️
Hi Shawn,
At a recent fitting with a 7 iron the distance was relatively short with tremendous spin and height on the ball. The launch angle was consistently above 24. I placed the ball back in my stance and saw a small reduction in spin and launch angle. I guessed that the two tee drill would help however in this video it seems to have to do with the wrist angle and timing of the release. How does one at home determine if the angle on attack is downward and how does one improve it?
David
Hi David! You simply choose the height you want to deliver the 7 iron on; then use a nice flow of unstoppable momentum low and through with ball back like you did for lower shots.
