Received my KC Golf grasswhip yesterday and unwrapped – went to back yard and actually cut some stems off of actual dandelions. Very good visuals! Just a few swings and truly felt how everything releases through with the weight of the “arm club unit” – now waiting for it to stop raining so I can go cut through some tees and progress through the drills. Definitely can tell this is going to be one very useful tool!!! With a nice Wisdom in Golf logo’d medallion on it as well!!!!!
Yeah man! Awesome! Enjoy the practice and breakthroughs!
Grasswhip training is always fun! 🙂 Why you want do that sword drill differently than grasswhip? I mean with sword you have superstrong grip and wrist release/rolling is well AFTER impact. With grasswhip grip is neutral or slightly stronger and you have to square/ roll BEFORE impact. Otherwise blade would be wide open and you would cut with heel.
Hi Jukka!
They are not that different! Did you see the analysis of Joaquin Niemann at the first tournament of the year in Hawaii? He takes it deep through the ball just like the sword drill!!
Okay, just deeper release point. I wathed your video about Joaquin and that is deep! Though maybe not the most strain free way off cutting grass but power for sure 😉
Haha, yes, it helps if you are made of rubber!! 😝😝
You don’t have to go that deep, but it is a great visual of how deep you can go!😀👍
Hi Shawn!
Two questions:
1. The club face opening as hands lead is eye opening. Am I supposed to “shroud” the ball at address/ close rele club face? I always thought it should be square at address (?). Is this related to the notion that other instructors share of having the logo of your golf glove face the target line at impact? Basically, learning to manipulate the left hand ? Should my “feel” in my hands be left hand focused?
2. My worst clubs are my woods. By far. How do I apply the grass whip lesson to a ball sitting higher on a tee, Mike with driver? Do I try to cut the upper part of tee below ball? Confused on this….
😝😝that is a lot more than 2 questions!
Answers:
You can have a strong grip with square face-a neutral grip with closed face-a super strong grip with open face-or a bit of everything; there are no rules apart from: “when you deliver a nice whip in the direction you want to start the ball, the ball flies the way you want it to.
Also, please see the driver video as well as the “throwing series hammer throw driver” video for the rest
Never think of individual body parts; as for left hand, see “hammer drill” video and when you perform the task, what does the left wrist feel like? Then just perform the task. See “task trumps everything for that one and “top 3 tasks” to see which one resonates best for the shot at hand.

Thank you Shawn!
Hi Shawn,
Why is the club face not deliberately closed (like the whip) to square it at impact.
John
It is! It may not look like it at address, but it certainly is dynamically closed for me!
For so many other students of mine, it would look closed; and then you simply allow it to evolve as you get better with your release and it’s effectiveness,
Shawn
I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now with great success
, but, still experience some days of inconsistent ball striking. I have heard you utter the phrase “every instrument known to mankind is done handle 1st” a hundred times but as you talked about closing the face of the grass whip it resonated with me that I am still releasing early despite the fact that I am target oriented. I went to the range after work and employed all of your principles but made sure my hand lead my throw to the target and my contact was like never before, crisp and precise. I thought I was leading with my hands but my hit instinct must have still been present. I can’t believe I didn’t realize this before. Is there anything wrong with this line of thinking?
This is the definition of the squirrel finding his nut stash! Way to go! 👍👍
