Hey Shawn,
Just wondered if you had any tips/drills on getting your hips rotating through the downswing towards impact? I am okay on practise swings (i particularly liked your video on throwing a ball away from target with one hand and toward target with the other), but when i come to take the shot, I get a lateral hip drive towards the target and towards the ball and end up having to flip my club over the top as my right elbow gets caught against my body and cant get out of the way – like an ‘early release’.
Much appreciated!
Andy
Hey Andy!
You are not defective! 😝😀👍
You are simply defaulting to the ball; you even said it in your comment question; “to the ball”
See “throwing the club” then see “predict contact’ and “the goldie locks series”
THEN see target confirmation series” and “pre-motor cortex series”
It will all become clearer after those!
Shawn
Shawn,
I’m enjoying all of the premium videos. The language you’re speaking seems to really put things out there in a manner that makes sense. I’m a left handed golfer that’s always been a 0-5 handicap. I did break my right (lead) elbow a year ago and didn’t play much golf last season.
I feel like things are starting to come back. I’m starting to be able to work the ball a little both fade and draw. I just can’t seem to get the clubhead speed or distance back with the driver.
PW is 145-150 carry. Driver is averaging 250 carry with 100-105 clubhead speed on my launch monitor. Contact is nice and consistent and centered.
I’m not sure what I’m missing. I’ve always fought a little bit of a sway in the backswing. Not sure if this is impacting driver speed more than shorter clubs. I also feel like I have a high level of strain to get the clubhead speed up. If I try to swing with minimum effort and high velocity I just can’t get much more than 102 mph.
I’m physically fit, flexible and fairly strong. Just feels like something is missing with getting the pop back.
One thing I see often with the driver is the lack of THROUGH THE BALL focus and attention. Make sure you see “target confirmation series” and the “throwing series” where the driver is the “hammer throw”
The last video we put out on premium ties things together quite nicely with the “tee tips delivery” to the target! Keep me posted!
Shawn – your exaggerated swivel with the big left heel lift in this move was just the thing I needed to get the backswing comfortably in position, feel the ground, and then to be able to let it swing. Felt great. I’ve always kept the left heel down, or tried to minimize. Maybe that was limiting my range? Should I just let the heel come up?
Good stuff!
For many, the heel off the ground is essential; my left handed swing cannot function without; not even close!
Right handed I am able to perform with or without; no issues!

Broke 80 for the first time with a 78 over the weekend! Head position and tilt has really improved the consistency of my game. I’m taking divots after the ball and making much better contact. Thanks Shawn.
Congratulations! I am lifting a cup of coffee to you as we speak! Man, I remember those days!!
I want to go back with this knowledge right now! 😝
Hi Shawn, hope all is well. Count me in for the Swing Index App! I’m having a technical issue downloading it, but will keep you posted if I need your help. Thanks again for all you do! -Kevin
You bet Kevin!😀👍
