One of your best so far Shawn. Really cleared up a lot of questions on the head tilt and why it’s important anatomically. Thank you for taking the time to explain it so thoroughly. I think this is a big missing piece for me.
Right on Mark!
Savannah got her light bulb moment on it; her swing is looking and performing on the next level now; with right heel bolted for the first time ever through impact;

Went to the range today and applied what I learned in this video. Light bulb session! Wow! Great results. Solid contact. Prediction ability was off the charts. I swiveled that posterior right away in the.backswing and it allowed me to get right into a good backswing position that allowed me to swing deep into downswing for increased distance and better contact. Combined with what I learned in your last grip video the feeling was awesome!
The next layer I discovered now is that the shoulders need to move back on a different plane than the hips. I experimented with steeper and shallower planes with my shoulders on the backswing. Big differences. I tried to apply Goldilocks to the plane. Very steep, very shallow and something in between. Very interesting results still experimenting with this. But I found a plane with my driver that allowed me to hit my driver farther than I ever have. Hit the net at the end of my range. On the fly. I’ve never been able to do that before. 👍
Goldie locks is the bomb!!
What is prompting you to look at shoulder plane? Anatomically, the shoulders and hips have different purposes…
Right on Mark! I can feel the glow of that light bulb moment from all the way over here!! 😀👍
Regarding shoulder plane…I think it’s more a matter of getting used to the early swivel. In others words I was focusing on getting my butt moving forward so much that my takeaway was rotating at about the same plane…very shallow. Then, when I changed my focus to have my takeaway match the downswing I was thinking about I figured out how to swivel my butt out of the way while bringing the face of the club back on the path I wanted. A path that kept the face on track with what the desired downswing path would be. The checkpoints you taught us. But what’s interesting is the results from those different backswing paths. The challenge for me is to make sure I get my butt out of the way when making the backswing. If I get too focused on backswing path I sometimes forget about swiveling those hips. So it’s just a matter of creating a habit now.
Your last comment was spot on Mark; awesome!!
Shawn,
It finally all came together. I shot an even par 72 today. My lowest round since 1996. Before each shot I told myself, “Get out of the way. Swing at 80% of full effort.” Magic!! Thanks for all you do for us.
Right on Ronald! Awesome stuff man!
Keep representing, much appreciate the comments and feedback;
Shawn
Great video, worked on this today @ the range. I notice that sometimes, despite concentrating on My target, I tend to release early and that if I hold on longer and let centrifical force release I hit better shots. I am really trying to think about the target and not defaulting to the ball. I appreciate your response . How do eagle members send you video?
Hey Joe! Get a clip on your phone from face on and down the line; edit the clip to just the swing in regular motion and email straight to [email protected]; best to do 1 at a time. Let me know your target and flight plan to target and what your task is to deliver to the target. Shawn
Shawn. I have a student that let’s her head dip down and forward on back swing. Any suggestions?
I put an ax handle or a grass whip in her hands and she doesn’t do it. She understand the spine tilt and why.
Her left knee goes to far toward the ball
1-feet together drill-remember the purpose of it: knees and feet together-suction through arches at all times. Use the return of the butt to catapult the falling arms through the cut of grass to the target.
2-is she trying to keep her head down? You would be amazed at how deeply incrusted this bad boy can be!
We did this video Donna and I and I will re-do a nice acid test for it: after she takes her backswing, it should be easy to bring both legs together and have same knee flex but if her left knee jets out, it will be very difficult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um4G4T_6UN8
Thank you very much for the link. That oldy but goody is gold. I thought I was centered when in fact I wasn’t turning my hips quite enough and ended up swaying a bit. This made it evident when bringing both feet back together. Now I have a whole new feel to get use to in my back swing.👍
Thanks again for all your great work!
Excellent video Shawn. Showed this to one of my students and he real did well right away. Your premium channel is the best
Awesome John! Thank you!
Talk soon; need to run a couple things by you! 👍😀
