I have been working on anchoring and keeping my head behind the ball throughout the swing and focusing on feeling the stretched release. I had some success with it, but it has me curious. Does this anchor and stretched release allow the club head to catch up to the hands? For me, I require a very closed face in my grip because my hands are quite a bit in front of the club head leaving the face open quite a bit. Is the stretched release allowing the club head to catch up and whip through?
Yes! This is the point! In baseball, if the bat does not catch up and release, it is a checked swing and that is like slamming on the brakes. This is what I say to my students with grips that are too strong: if you feel the need to hang on to the release to not go left for a right handed player, the grip is too strong.
I’ve been following your program for a year and always knew my release was my problem despite the improvements in my game. This could be a game changer. I never fully understood the release beyond the allowing the wrists to fold on the follow through. I can’t wait to incorporate this into all of my clubs.
Hey coach! Is it the camera angle or are both Sav and Mu lining up the ball well within their lead foot? I tried this and couldn’t hit up on the ball enough and the ball is dying in the air
Man, just saw this! Sorry for missing it! Anytime you guys write a comment and I don’t answer in 48 hours, this means it got buried. Please do not hesitate to nudge me by email! You guys are way too important!
now to answer this, the key is using goldilocks to establish what fits you. The question is when you deliver your action into the direction to the right or left or over the IP (intermediate point) where does the tip of tee need to be to be grazed on the way up? It is the interpretations of positions inside the lead foot that wreak havoc with most!
Can’t tell you how important this was for me. Because of the forward ball position and “want” to really hit the driver hard, my head would turn instantly on the downswing causing my body to stop and a horrible smother hook to occur. Once I held my tilted/turned head in place, the ball went where I wanted it and my distance increased dramatically. My mates were always 30m (33 yards) further than me (for 20 years!), now I am 5m further than them! Thanks Shawn!!
Man, that is satisfying! 😀👍💪
Hey Shawn,
I have two questions if that’s okay. The first question is that I have noticed that when I’m doing perpetual motion, I’m not getting a consistent low point because I feel like I’m standing up and not holding my dynamic sandbag tossing posture. I’m completely aware of this but when I try to go back into posture during the PPM it feels like I’m putting in a lot of effort when it should be effortless and the whole machine completely breaks down. Any suggestions or thoughts on how I can fix this?
The other question sort of relates to this video as well. I have noticed that I also tilt too much when I’m setting up and when I’m in the process of swinging and it typically results in digging at the ground before the ball or a slice or I skull it. This is especially prevalent if I’m going from driver to irons as I could predict, since you need more tilt for drivers. After a few shots I can kind of figure it out and decrease the tilt but do you have any recommendations for how to sort of feel for the proper tilt earlier?
Thanks!
Question 1-You need to SEND the grass clippings or the divots towards your target when doing the PMD drill; this will stabilise your low point. See “kinetic chain facilitation series” and you will also notice your posture stay in a brilliant position when doing this.
Question 2: see “contact mile markers” right away; never tilt at the expense of low point or balance! Then see “tilt mile markers”
Thanks Shawn! I will check those out!
