hi Shawn, been asking too many questions, but its the excitement of an effortless change in my game. Having said “effortless”, is there a video in which you talk about what is it you mean by effortless. We all want to hit a driver miles but what is the difference in hitting it far with effort vs effortlessly, for example many times in videos you mentioned : effort 3 on 10, What would a 7 on 10 in effort look like, will it go further?
The 2 ennemies of the swing are manipulation (being careful) and effort. When you apply effort you short circuit the engament of the kinetic chain. It simply means that if your full time job was to send drivers down a fairway for 8 hours a day over 250 yards, how would you swing? You would use momentum all day long and stay away from effort.
absolutely, experience it today wrote about it on another video. 🙂
I tried this last year on the range with my wedge, lower shot to higher shot, same distance. Are you THROWING the club at the target higher and lower to get the different heights? Or is it ball placement, I was doing a lower follow through to higher follow through, that was before joining here, so is the thought THROW the club higher and lower?
Another question would be. don’t worry about positions, etc. Cut the grass in the direction you want the ball to go. So would a good practice session be like above. Go to range, start cutting “dandelions”. And adjust accordingly, amount of closed face, open face etc to get the ball flight you want for your swing and than keep doing that. Don’t worry about looking like Tiger and thinking about positions, just let the club cut the grass in the direction you want ball to start.
Yessir!! Great content and yes; throwing higher or lower and adjust the ball position to ALLOW for the shot to happen based on the height of throw. And yes, part 2 is spot on! Stay with that strategy and if the results are not there, what part of the set up or feel of delivery is preventing you from achieving what you want for flight and contact?
For me recently, it was grip pressure not tight enough. And wow, the difference it made was spectacular!! Made a nice video for premium on that too that you will see in the next couple weeks;

Wow Shawn, I’ve made huge jumps in my golf game this season thanks to your methods. I started out this season before your videos shooting over 100. Then about 3/4 through the season I started breaking 100 with high 90s. This past weekend I shot a 91 and got a hole in one Saturday. Then on Sunday I played 9 and shot a 40. Does the golf season HAVE to end?!?
Oooh yeah man! Way to go! And not to worry, there is a time to perform and then there is a time to retool and train and man, we are just 2 days from embarking on a quest for flow states in golf that are sure to please for next season! Congrats for the benchmarks thus far and for representing Wisdom in Golf so well. See you on Wednesday for session 1 on FLOW!
For fairway shots, where is the dandelion stem; below the equator of the ball, at/above the surface of the ground…? Does it matter?
You bet it matters! 😀
Right in the center of the ball at ground level. If you place a ball against a door frame, then in slow motion, try to cut through the stem of the dandelion; you will notice that the ball HAS TO MEET THE FACE of the club BEFORE the stem is cut. Which of course is VERY CONVENIENT!😀👍
Thanks!
Shawn, great video. Watched a video from you a while back. It’s where you were indoors hitting the ball and then a penny in front with the same swing to ingrain hitting toward target. Do you recall the name of that video.
Thanks
Could be ‘early extension‘ or ‘fishing and golf”
That’s it. Thanks a bunch. I saw a drill to stop early extension. Basically was to use a chair and keep your butt in contact with the chair from back swing to finish. However after studying your teaching this drill is probably not needed if I keep my focus on the correct target (where I wanted to send the ball). I.e. if I do that it’s impossible to early extend. Agree??
Exactly! Drills And videos to perform the proper swing without loosing posture: “feet together drill” and “dynamic posture” as well as “ball below feet” uphill shots” and “bolted and centred”
