When I lose my swing, like currently, I finish the round with feet together. I lose a club but it is super straight. I have also finished the round on one leg but not quite as straight. I will have to see if the staggered feet give me the same benefit. I would play forever with feet together but downhill lies are a killer.
Hey Tim! Use the one leg for downhill shots and feet together for flat; then go slightly wider than feet together and see “feet together back to feet apart” video and then see “perpetual motion drill series”
A small lateral move to start the backswing is getting positive results. It feels like it is engaging my rear glute . It feels like I am more on top of the rear leg and my glut gets deeper. But the real payoff seems to be in the downswing. It feels like I can just fall to get the ground. It’s just a very subtle micro move to start the backswing. I’m very curious as to your thoughts your on this.
Thank you Shawn #1
Exactly!! Like I have said in a few videos, the swing is 2 combined kinetic chains assembled through a transition from backswing to forward swing. What you just posted is one cycle of the walking drill! 😀👍💪👌
Hey Shawn I always go back to the feet together drill. One thing I noticed recently from using this and throwing the club is how it makes my release more outwards as opposed to underneath does that make sense? When I separate my feet it’s easy to stand taller, I lifted my lead shoulder like mu to get that club long and straight underneath me and have my trail wrist in a bowling position facing down which feels like I’m using the battering ram straight back and through… but my feet together I can’t get into that position the club feels too long so my shaft angle isn’t as aligned to my arms angle and my wrists release like a sling of a ball more horizontally. That made a huge breakthrough for me I hope that made sense
Hey Ross!
the closer the feet are together, the less you can tilt and vice versa because the body needs support under the tilt. Makes sense with the description you gave?
It does mate yeah and makes sense why i can feel how feet and knees together makes my club release more outwards and both hands feel like they are doing a topspin shot in tennis, my hands and body stay low and in posture, with my ass catapulting the throw . Split stance or 1 leg I still tend to get left side much taller it’s not so much tilt of body just a long left arm and then I can throw it more underneath me like using a cricket bat and swinging for a six like Sav and Mu. But cos both feel solid im not sure what to go with and sometimes get stuck between the 2 feelings which is obviously a short circuit. What do you think?
Need to book a facetime with you as soon as I can get to a course buddy
Good stuff Ross; the answer has to fit together with the shot you are getting ready to deliver into. Low draw feels less titled and high fade feels more tilted. So see “tilt mile markers” and all the tilt and head position videos on premium and match that up to different tasks and shots. See also the “match task to target” videos.
Great video as always.. Loved the new drill and really enjoy your approach to teaching. Question in the back swing I occasionally have some shoulder pain, due to over extending in my back swing. Are there modifications to be made to shorten swing or reduce the chances for injury?
Hey Mike! I assume you are talking about the lead shoulder? Never do anything that strains in the backswing, because when you deliver a nice throw in the direction you want to send the ball and ENGAGE THE KINETIC CHAIN, which is a human reflex, you open yourself to injury. See “purpose of backswing”, “arm swing vs body turn”, and the super slow and super relaxed backswing drill in one of our latest off season training sessions…number 7 I think?
Really good video. Right now I’m working on a Pre shot routine. Yesterday playing for the first time in months I shot a 41 on the front nine and a 48 on the back. The wheels fell off the cart. I’m convinced it’s because of the pre shot routine. Thanks for the great video

Hey Linda! Yes! Which hole did the wheels start falling off? What was the shot? Did you feel comfortable over it? What was the last thing going through your mind just before you swung?
also, great timing, routine is in the last 6 sessions starting with putting and chipping-then we build into pitching and full swing and tee shots. Happy Sunday!
