This week, I have been working my rhythm, with coming up, down and through the ball…. this mornings round of golf has been much better with contact on the woods and irons on the full swing. However, I noticed that some of my iron shots seemed to lack a feel of compression, even though the resulting shot was ok. The sound had more a solid a rock getting hit with a board. Any ideas on how to correct this, or what may be causing this.
This is where the prediction process of “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” comes into play!😀👍
Hi,
Will the back swing speed have any effect on the strike, distance or control? Or is it fine to have a slow back swing speed?
None at all! It is the engagement of the kinetic chain that is the most important! See “how to use the weight in the swing-axe drill with Savy” and the “kinetic chain series” followed by “throw the club” and “the throwing series”
That slow backswing of yours has a great home here!! 😀👍
Thank you Shauna. This video has helped me immensely. I haven’t been hitting the ball crisply but cutting through the grass and focusing on a blade of grass behind the ball made all the difference. Can you recommend any other videos that would help with a sweet, centred connection at impact. I have a lot of free time to practise (I am on a farm) which is great. Kind regards Amanda
Hey Amanda! I used to live on a farm as a kid and married “the farmer’s daughter” and am so happy I did! Here are some videos in order of importance on premium:
1-Throwing the club
2-predict contact
3-the goldie locks series”
4-blur of club
5-the last 4 videos we posted on premium!
Thanks Shauna. I will look at those videos and I will keep practising as we aren’t able to play at this time of self isolation. Take care Amanda
Sorry about the auto correct to your name Shawn !!!🤣🤣🤣😱
I knew there was an explanation for that one! 😂😝👍
hello Shawn, I am truly enjoying your premium membership. I’m looking at your contact video and feel that I understand almost all of your points and could put them into action (does not mean I CAN DO THEM just feel like I could), Having said that and watching this video I see that starting the down swing; the right elbow goes down and in front etc.. Do you let go of the club so that it goes vertical or do you keep an angle and continue the swing until you are in the other side and release the club. I am having trouble visualizing what happens when the club returns to the horizontal position and thru impact. Help. THANKS
Hi Maggie!
This is not a statement to be impolite, because I care big time, but to focus on what you are talking about is sabotage to the machine on an epic scale. See the “throwing the club” video, about mid way on the list of videos on premium, my favourite, and please find an area to do this safely and use some clubs with steel shafts and not graphite, as the graphite shafts break very easily. Then after throwing to a few to the target, take a video of your swing face on and see what that looks like when your club goes out towards the target. You will be floored and amazed that your body finds all the correct positions magically on it’s own! 😀👍
Then see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” to predict properly.
Thanks for your answer. However, it did not provide the answer I was looking for; also, one needs to ask the right question in order to get the correct answer. I watched a video titled “Eagle session with Savy-getting better AOA and lag. It answer my question to perfection. Thanks for your prompt response.
Well alright then! Fantastic! 😀👍
Hi Shawn!
The premium channel has been a tremendous help to me already (here in Virginia, we get some play even in the winter!). Distance has improved noticeably, putting has improved, and I’ve gone from constantly battling a slice to being able to work the ball left or right much of the time. But (you knew that was coming, didn’t you?). The recurring problem seems to be what others would call taking my eye off the ball. I guess I would call it “not keeping my focus on the dandelion stem.” There are two symptoms, that may reflect one problem, or possibly more than one. The first is hitting far out on the toe, so the ball goes 45º to the right. The second is topping it (if only it was “just” thin). When I think about what I did on the shot, it seems as if my focus was on hitting into the picture, but by turning my head, I have let the clubhead get out of position.
Do you have any swing thoughts, focus, or drills that may help with this?
Thanks so much for all the terrific content!
Scott
