Hi shawn, do you close your club face at adress and when you take your grip or do you leave it square?
Hi Craig!
Depends on the shot at hand!
Bottom line is that when you release in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball flies and curves the way you want it to; and what you see at address with my set up from the camera point of view looks very different from the point of view of the person holding the club. Lots of perception issues in this game and this is why you always want to do the adjustments DYNAMICALLY.
Hi Shawn!
Just wondering if you’re visualizing the base of the dandylion stem do that you contact the ball on the lower grooves of the face? If not can you tell me where you’re imagining it being.
Thanks a bunch,
Matt
Yes, pretty much!
You predict that when you cut through at ground level, that the ball will get stamped by the center of the face; and it does!! 😀👍
I just subscribed last night at 11:00pm. This looks like it would cause my mind to want to scoop the ball instead of hit down on it, or are you still hitting down on the ball like people refer to? What am I missing? I really have a great desire to learn as much and as fast as I can from you.
The old ways of thinking are “hit down on the ball” which makes the ball the target and gets the swing too steep. Those who scoop are thinking of lifting the ball from the ground and that is just as bad.
WHEN YOU FOCUS ON CUTTING THROUGH THE STEM OF THE DANDELION, things change in a hurry. The club stays ALONG THE GROUND and not into it; the lag caused by the action of cutting through gets you WAY MORE POWER and now, the next step is to make sure the club face is CLOSED ENOUGH for the ball to hold it’s line and get compressed.

Hi Shawn, as you come into the hitting zone, is the feel of a circular, stress-free, whippy cut coming through the ball, or more of a driving forward, hammering the nail into the bottom of the post? You’ve used both analogies before, and to me, they feel much different. I’d like to pick one sensation and work on it!
Thanks
Dr. Joe
Hey Dr Joe!
Depends on the shot!
Low draw into a 3 club wind is door frame; high fade riding the wind, cutting through dandelion stem along the surface of the ground. Zippy spinny shots with irons, peeling the carrot and sending the peel in the direction you want to start the ball.
Master one, then master all! 😀👍
Thank you Shawn, that clarifies it!
Shawn seems like your wrist at the top is a bit cupped, isnt it better to have a flat wrist at the top of most swings especially with the longer clubs?
Hi Raymond! Sorry I did not see this!
My wrist is not cupped (I call that collapsed) and those who flatten or bow like Dustin and Brooks have a weaker grip that needs face closure somehow; and they did this as young juniors before they got formal instruction. If you hit a baseball with a bat with a bowed wrist, you would break your wrist. So what we do here at wisdom in golf is much more anatomically sound.
