Shawn, I have been out practising the legs together and one leg drill. However, even on these drills I hit fat. I think it is because after 35 years of hitting at the ball my brain does not want to let go. Can you direct me to videos that will help get through the ball. I have been throwing but still want to hit that darn ball.
If you have been throwing the club, (you must go out and actually do it!!) when you use the goldie locks from above the ball, then lower to top the ball then lower to THIN THE BALL.
KEEP THE ARMS AND CLUB HANGING FROM THE SHOULDER SOCKETS AND DO MOT LET THEM REST ON THE GROUND; just slightly off the ground and grazing the grass.
THE FOCUS AND PREDICTION: If you throw the club through the arc blur to the right of the IP for a draw, you PREDICT that the sole of the club will graze the grass and therefore hit the ball thin.
When you flush them, you will realize you need to be like 40% of tour players who never ground their clubs at address! 👍😀
Shawn,
I have been out throwing clubs many times. I have emailed you. Hope thats OK.
Thanks for another great drill to add to the repertoire along with the grass cutting/club throwing/hammering and – my favorite for teaching my 15 yr. old daughter – cutting through the bamboo!!!
Quick question if you have a moment – joining Wisdom in Golf has completely cured my over-the-top/early release swing and resulted in (mostly) solid contact and two-club length gains in distance. That said, my flight plan is slightly off and I can’t tell if my target confirmation isn’t matching my set up/club head, but I have a habit of “overcooking” my draw into a hook and ending up much further left than I planned. I’m also noticing more contact towards the toe of my irons (not so much with my woods or wedges).
I know I’ve watched you in sessions hit more of hook instead of a draw, and you’ll go back to the “out of the way” and “swing to the right” mindset to correct your swing. What am I missing when taking my target confirmation and then cutting the dandelion stem?
Thanks in advance!
Good stuff! So glad you and your daughter are enjoying some great golf moments together; really live hearing that!
as for the shot, the direction of the takeaway and top of backswing play a big role in this as well; see “how to match backswing to ball direction” which affects “rotational momentum in the release” and brush up on the “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning” videos to strike a balance in your deliveries into your flight plans.

Really enjoyed this tid bit of how to connect the 2 chains. The utility of the walking drill makes so much sense now and has really helped smooth out the tempo. When I look at you at the 10 minute mark and you are starting a swing, it almost looks like you are pushing into your braced front side as a trigger to let your trail heel come up. I think I do something similar but the ball is not really compressing on the plant/throw toward the target. I guess the forward plant heave feels a little more glancing or not as firmly pressed as the back heave. I end up picking the ball off the turf instead of compressing it. If I add a little more squat/press on the front plant/heave I get off balance and over the front foot. I end up either pulling the ball if I hit it or thinning it. Does this make sense and if so, is there a way to make the forward plant heave end up with a little more compressed ball?
It is time for the walking drill for you! And the one leg drill as well as the downhill shot video; which will all get you to feel the brace inside the lead leg which will force the butt to swivel away from the target and catapult the arms and club through into the picture! 👍😀
Great lesson and clarification on the task, Shawn! My brain was getting ready to go work on a plant/swing method until you pointed that out 😂🙃
“Plant based golf swing” get yours now at Wisdom in Golf! 😝😂

Thank you! This is so much fun this human machine!!👍😀
