Wow, what a difference did this video make. I am imaging a kid on a swing in my set up, to overcome my “tugging” the club inside on my takeaway. Then I match that to the left or the right side of my intermediate target. But what really, really helped was “goldilocksing” [a new verb!]. I feel that I am reprogramming my brain to a different way of completing the task. Can’t wait for the season to start!
💪👌😀👍
Great explanation Shawn, thanks!
Shawn, this is fascinating to me and I look forward to sending you my first video for you to review. In regards to takeaway matching essentially the shot shape you want to hit helps my brain and bodywork in conjunction tremendously. What I am finding though is when I’m looking to hit a draw and I place ball position a little back center I’m still leaving the ball out to the right even with a take away that matches where I want the ball to fly. Any suggestions on really working to get that nice draw shape?
All you need to do is close the face of the club more! The vast majority of my early students cannot believe how closed the face needs to be and when they see it at address, they think OMG, hook city! Then they whip THROUGH the ball and into the direction they want to start the ball and their jaw drops; “ how come no hook?” Because they are not DYNAMIC in their thinking yet! See the first video in the “consistency series” and do what I do with the club head and also see the latest “historic” grip session we did with Savy and Mu!

Ok, great! Thanks for the input, I’ll work on this. And for the fade, I’ve noticed your videos on opening the clubface juts a bit more but grip stays the same, and alignment and swing direction are slight left.
I’d love to come up and take a lesson sometime. I live out in San Diego but grew up in Maine so not that far from you in Canada. I’m home often visiting so I could scoot over to your neighborhood sometime :).
Cheers,
Nate
Hi Shawn, does my backswing ha e anything to do with my high ball flight? My 5 and 6 irons are flying as high as my wedges. I have the ball a tad behind center for a draw so I don’t know if it’s ball position. Maybe it’s follow through. Any thoughts are appreciated! Love your teaching style.
I have seen this before a lot! Especially when players get ahead of the ball and have to reach back! See: “hammer drill” and “matching task to target” series as well as the “throwing series” on premium!
Will do! Thanks
Shawn, when using the fairway wood, what was the purpose of the intermediate marker behind you? Purpose of intermediate marker in front of you is to give you the direction you want the club to go. Do you have a direction you want your arm club movement to go in the direction of the back swing?
Hey Ron!
To have an intermediate point in the backswing as a drill to match the direction of the backswing to the direction you want to start the ball on; it is not a straight line of course; it is an arc as depicted in our latest video on Arc-Blur-Unstoppable Momentum.
