Shawn, since you told me to turn my back to the target I am hitting the ball farther which is great. Just need to hone the new swing. Now on another note, I could never understand and was very thankful why guys would hit shanks. But over the last 2 years suddenly and usually on a hook lie the ‘s’ word would show up even with my new Vokey wedges. I have no idea why, maybe I’m swaying?
This tells me that your arms are too deep behind you with the wedges; see “backswing levitation” and “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” as well as “arm swing vs body turn” videos. Then polish with “perpetual motion drill series” and you should feel way “steeper” with the wedges than with the mid irons and woods.
Hey Shawn should the shoulders rotate farther than the hips (without straining of course)?
Hey Neal! It is the PELVIS AND RIB CAGE that pivots as a unit on top of the hips and legs to allow the arms and club to swing freely into the backswing and then into the finish. See “ARM SWING VS BODY TURN” towards the bottom of the “list of videos by date”
I struggle with making the task my main focus. It gets me too ball focused and I can’t seem to flow into the picture. My best shots are when the starting target is my main focus and the blur of the club is secondary. If my mind is locked on to where I want the ball to start the body seems to find a way to get there. It’s more a feeling of whipping through the intermediate to the target. Maybe it’s just the way I process the shot from years of concentrating on the target and I need to continue to find a task that works for me.
Very good! Sounds like the “throwing of the club” task is the one for you; as long as you make your prediction based on the throw into the picture, then you are free to go! 😀👍
You used the previous divot for Mu’s IP, but what do you do in a pristine fairway for an IP? I have trouble distinguishing a distinct IP in the fairway. Any thoughts? PS, tee boxes are usually very easy with divots!
Yes! We have a great system for that! Use the perpetual motion drill to scuff the turf beside the ball on a length of a few inches; then step back away from the ball and look down the line and see if it points where you want. Then use the “blur of club” video to match the arc-blur of the swing to the scuff mark. If the scuff is too right, line the blur left and vice versa! 😀👍BOOM you are welcome!
OMG. Major issues for me , apart from the correct swing/ kinetic chain, are- 1 ..don’t trust side vision EVER…..2..get that intermediate point and play to that. I already picked the club for the distance so if I go back to the target visually , not the IP, then the brain takes over with…” hit it close, avoid the bunker, don’t go in the woods, avoid the pond, hit it hard…” bla bla bla and as you say -> black out happens….am I right? I try to concentrate here at the IP and minimize the distant target.
You have trained your brain to buy in to the process so even the non robot gets pretty nice mostly very good results….what a sport…
Haha, you are OOZING WITH WISDOM in this comment Jeremy! 😀👍
and yes, you want to use the IP for delivery purposes and allow the unstoppable momentum to ride the arc through the ball and IP into the picture.
