Hello Shawn,
thank you, great ‘inklings’ of golf from you.
Just at the beginning of the takeaway your daughter lifts the handle a bit. What effect does that have, if any ?
Best regards
Eckhart
Hi Eckhart! Nancy Lopez did exactly the same thing in her backswing and then some; something that is completely subconscious and part of her CNS getting into a flow.
“Throw club to the target” is the key changer for me. Thank you so much Savvy!
Before I tried to throwing club at the moment of starting down swing, that was hard to lock at the down swing moment. Now I will prepare for throwing club when preparing for the swing, with prediction of club passing the ball. I feel much more confident now.
My next milestone would be always “let momentum does the work”. Now I can swing with low effort with irons but keep pushing hard on dirver downswing.
Thank you.
It looks like before you start your backswing that you are braced off the front leg. Am i seeing that wrong?
Yes, just like in the perpetual motion series, I am already in the follow through and on my way back into the backswing; already in movement to get the momentum I need to whip through with ease into the direction I want to start the ball.
Yes. I remember a drill where you start the club above the ball swinging a bit forward first then back swing and thru the ball. Help get you off being static. With my ADD i need to do something to kerp my mind from swing thoughts. This will help me alot.
Hello Shawn, Throwing the club is a fantastic method to learn and to play. After one year of practising i use it a lot but i missed one key to perform a good swing, to drive straight and have a good finish position. The key for me now is that i add a motion to the throw. When i am at the top of the BS i perform the motion by visualizing the arc of the swing. Practically my right shoulder goes down . I see in your learning sessions that you do this too. My question is: is this added motion somewhere in your program or do i make a mistake in the throwing of the club?
You are there with the throw but please do not worry about the right shoulder; because of the tilt in the spine needed to access the target (see ‘hammer drill” and all the “tilt” videos) the right shoulder has no choice but to come down and under before collecting the head after impact and moving through. You will see this in the “trail hand release” video as well!
