Shawn I have not been a player that uses the wrist and would like to add the additional leverage and when practicing the wrist hinge I fade/slice the ball especially with the driver, is there something I’m missing or is there drill to help learn this important step?

Hi Shawn!
I’ve been working on “Lead Hand Release” as well as “Feet Together” and what an amazing difference already in ball height 🙂
W/ Lead Hand Release am I gripping the club a bit more my lead hand or would you say keep the same amount of grip pressure with both hands?
-Nate
Hi Nate;
Don’t worry about grip pressure for the moment; stick to the task and keep free wheeling through and out to target; the CNS will figure that out instinctively. Keep it up! 😀👍
I had my son video my swing yesterday and I am definitely not fully completing my backswing which leads me to start manipulating from the top and my lead arm is not fully rotating or releasing me into the finish. I have sent you video and had Skype lessons and you recommended that I watch this video, get some backswing levitation, practice hitting drivers 175 yds, ping pong release along with watching best downswing weight shift and weight shift walking. I have been in a funk b/c I have been using my “40 bits of information “ and sabotaging my swing thinking about all of this. I have played better the past week just thinking about cutting grass and I had planned on coming to Montreal for inperson lessons before COVID-19. I feel that I understand all of this and I often throw clubs often what would you recommend I work on to improve this. I will send a video. Thank you for your reply.
Nice post Joe! You are really beginning to get a solid grasp of this!
Stay with your simple tasks with carefree abandon-CLEAR IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND INTENT BUT CAREFREE IN YOUR EXECUTION.
Hopefully, the borders will open up on July 21 and they mean it this time; and hopefully this crazy virus can leave us alone for a long while. I am in Quebec City though, not Montreal! 😝 The summer is now here finally and is just fantastic.
Hi Shawn – Great video. This my main drill now. Question… so after I gather the club at the top, and feel the weight of the club as I collect it… I get the feeling the lead side pulling the base of the club down and to the target. Is this correct? Also, I put a laser pointer at the base of a club…. top of the back swing it should point on the wall behind me and stop before changing direction (your levitate vid) and then follow the path inside the ball and pointing to the target on the collect phase. Trying to ensure that the trail hand is just along for the ride on the downswing. Does this make sense? And is this correct?
Whoa! You are putting too much into this.
1-Your anatomy, arm and shoulder, is perfectly designed to find the correct swing plane
2-please see the “kinetic chain” series of 7 videos and “kinetic chain engagement” video on premium; it is the whole chain that pulls the club head through.
Imagine a lumber jack with an axe; no laser pointers necessary. You could have fun with the Perpetual motion drill as you cut grass in both directions and observe how the laser keeps passing in the same place by simply staying on the task of cutting grass! 🤓
Ah! Thanks for the readjustment. The analytical engineer in me needs to get off the course (ha). I went through the kinetic chain series, but I’ll go back to revisit it once again. Thanks for your help and the quick reply.
Hey Shawn, after analyzing my swing, this was one of the videos you made sure I watch/learn. In practice on the range and during a round on the course, after trying to work on this, I tend to hit my irons extremely right off the club face (I’m right-handed)? Clearly I’m doing something wrong. I’ll keep up the practice but thought you may be able to pin-point it for me? Thanks as always.
Where on he club face are you hitting it? Toe? Hosel?
If center, please see the first video on the “consistency series” and if hosel, see “football drill series” videos;
