Hey Shawn, you recommended this video to me as my arm was pinned and collapsed in the backswing with driver and so I had no width. I’ve been trying to follow this feeling of slashing but still getting an overswing and collapse with the woods and drivers. Its seems harder for me with these clubs but easier with the shorter clubs. Is there something that is preventing me from being able to that more width as I am making a huge turn but the lenght of long clubs seems to make me want to collapse. Any other thoughts or drills i can try?
“Lead hand release backswing assurances”; and hit some balls with this one: “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy”
Thanks Shawn, this axe drill is helping me feel more width for sure. One cool thing i realized when going back to normal grip from the split grip is that I was applying too much force with my trail hand/arm which was causing some collapse. I try to keep my trail arm more relaxed and toss the axe up more with the lead arm and the width seems better. Thanks for the input!
Good stuff! When you do a continuous action; called open loop in Neurology, you can make adjustments on the fly while performing the task; see “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series”, and feel what the trail arm does when performing that task while walking or even staying put and sending grass clippings from a mat.
Hi Shawn, You have been the first to answer this for me “How much back swing is enough”? Feels like I can easily slash!
I have always felt a short back swing always gave me better results. In my swing I used to feel I keep going longer than I need to go, making me feel I lose a lot of momentum coming to the ball. The arm club unit – momentum takes care of that. I feel solid at around 11 O clock in my back swing, should I make that my go to stop?
Yes, sounds like you figured something important out! Well done!
Hi Shawn,
My golfsvingen has improvef significantly after following your rask oriented swing. However, I still have some issues with my understanding. In one of your videos «fall-fall» gravity and momentan are doing the jobb. In a recent video you added pull. My question is therefore : how do you combine «fall and pull»?
Best,
Gunnar
Shawn would using the sword cutting through a bamboo shoot be a good task ? I have been practicing the lead and trail hand release. And I have started to use the sword reference as my task while hitting balls and it seems to be helping.
Great content !
Here I am for the tasks assigned 🙂 All very clear, I can finally feel what you explain with the sensations of the body. It seems to me that I have more feeling if I keep the stance a little open. Maybe the backswing levitation seems to be a bit shorter but upon release I feel the body release, feeling the weight, arms and stick more naturally. If, on the other hand, I exaggerate in wanting to open my hips in the backswing, more than I feel necessary to bring the iron up, I happen to hit the ball in the head or in the middle. I have to exercise
Just keep the task of sending the dandelion stem to target like in the “task update” video.
