Hi Shawn, firstly thanks for continuing to provide such great content each week. The three of you look as though you are really in tune and having a blast working together.
Keeping the head back with the driver has been massively beneficial but one thing I’m still struggling with is the 20/20 tilt and head turn at address. The tilt is fine but when I also turn my head away, I struggle to focus on the tip of the tee. I think this might be because I’m so right eye dominant I can’t see it as clearly as my right eye wants to and I end up turning my head back beyond neutral during the downswing to get a better look.
I don’t have the same issue with any other shots because the ball is closer within my right eye peripheral vision but with the driver the 20 % turn causes me to lose connection with the tee tip.
I don’t know which of your eyes is dominant and whether you experience something similar with either your left or right handed swing.
Overall I’m trying to decide whether to just ensure a 20 tilt and forget about the head turn at address or is there something else I can do to achieve both.
Funnily enough I can do 20/20 just fine with the driver when the ball is well back in the stance and I’m drawing it it like crazy.
Do any of the 3 of you suffer with not being able to see the tee at address with the your trailing eye.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for continuing to provide such first class guidance so enthusiastically.
All the best
Steve
Right on Steve, you are welcome! I know what you mean; if you don’t have this issue with fairway woods, and you start the club in the same place, you can keep the eyes on the grass in front of you and predict that if the low point stays, the tip of tee will be clipped! I have done that successfully with the driver!
This was excellent. Have been getting the feeling of the arm/club unit and this just put the piece in place that allows me to freely swing the club and strike the ball.
I had a feeling this would open some doors for many of you! Congrats! Here we come!!😀👍💪🤛👌
This video is pure gold! The tip about Moe “throwing his head backward” and yet, not moving it was a real eye-opener for me. I’ve struggled with making good contact because of head movement (forward movement – I’m not worried about a little up-and-down), so today I tried it. The course had closed the range for COVID, so I couldn’t hit any balls before we started, but I did some perpetual motion drills and BAM! Most of my tee shots were down the middle, and I was striking the ball better all the way through the course.
I could tell that consciously keeping my head behind the ball was keeping me from looking up and was getting me to release more effectively, which helped keep the balls nearer the target line.
I still feel as if I could get more distance if I could keep my focus out in the picture instead of on the ball, but it is coming along. I’m 67, and am finally seeing some real improvement!
Thanks so much Shawn!

Right on Scott! Glad we got a nice light bulb moment for you to not only understand but really feel!

Great video Shawn. Wisdom in Golf is the correct path to better golf. I’ve hit some of the most incredible shots this year including some of the longest drives I’ve hit in 25 years (I’m 49), but I still have some bouts of inconsistency.
As a left handed golfer my best shots are a medium trajectory draw. It seems that when I get off my misses are a high left shot, which I despise. It seems like when I’m hitting these it’s a glancing weak blow.
Is there a better task or visualization I need to get rid of this weak high left shot? Is throwing the club low a good drill to work on getting rid of the weak high left shot?
Good stuff!
Ok, so firstly; what was the last thing going through your mind just before you made the swing that caused this shot? Shawn
Usually when I hit the high left shot I’m setting up for a draw and thinking about swinging to the left of my intermediate point? In my mind I feel like I’m going thru the same routine with the same thoughts and intentions.
Obviously something is different occasionally. I could hit a bomb 300+ with a tight little lower draw or the high weak left shot goes 250 or so. There’s always a huge difference in yardage and compression.
Ok, when you set up for the draw, are you looking for that nice feel of release or are you placing or steering the club to the left of the IP? Have a look at the “pre-motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series” and the “turbo charged lead hand and trail hand release” videos; it could very well be that your grip-club relationship is still too open as well!
The driver is the weirdest club for me. I hit my hybrids well – sometimes I get an airplaning effect with them, but rarely do I feel uncomfortable with those clubs in my hands. However, the driver, at times, feels like I’m trying to fight off a grizzly bear with a feather duster. I’ve played well with the driver, and felt like I had it under some control only to have it all fall apart in the middle of a round. I heard you telling Mu not to left the ball get away to the left. Could you elaborate on that particular statement?
Haha! 😂😂Grizzly Bear with Feather duster!! That means you are releasing hard at the ball and fighting the momentum of the swing. 3/10 in effort to get 7/10 in speed. It should feel ridiculously easy to whip the club. If it feels difficult, you are doing it wrong. See “unstoppable momentum driver” video and the “throwing series-driver hammer throw”
