Sav, I think its a historical video 😅🤘💪👍
Yes, very good Fredrik! Definitely an important video for you! 😀👍
Hi Shawn. First of all thanks for your great videos. You make golf so much simplier.
Then to my question. When I simply use throwing the club to the target I get great outcomes and my hip turn to both ways is good, but when I start to try and get the kinetic chain and use my lower body more by the walking drill I seem to just shift my hips toward the target so that they get far too forward compared to my arm club unit. What would you suggest to do about that? It could be thoug that Im not too comfortable yet with the walking while throwing the club so that I dont let my hips turn in the backswing either so then they dont really turn at all. Anyway, what drills or tasks would you suggest to get the feel for getting my hips turn through impact and not shift?
Thank you
Linda from Finland 🙂
Hi Linda! I am so sorry I did not see this comment! Sometimes the emails from the system do not make it to my in box when there are updates to the website so if this happens again, after 48 hours of not answering, please resend your question to my personal email box at [email protected] or [email protected]
To answer your question, throwing the club in the direction you want to start the ball, will activate the kinetic chain the best! Have you practiced throwing the club before?
Hi Linda! I am so sorry I did not get the email notice for your question! I just noticed you left this question a while ago; I hope that through watching other videos you got your answer? The “throwing of the club” or the “slashing of the sword” in the “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” as well as the “turbo charge lead hand release” and “turbo charge trail hand release” are awesome tasks to activate the “kinetic chain” of your human machine.
if this happens again, if I do not answer within 48 hours, please send me the question directly at my personal email at [email protected] or [email protected]
Shawn,
Pawing thru the internet recently, I came across a video clip of you demonstrating anatomically with a skeleton how the hips should initiate the upper body turn in the backswing. Voila, it works great and prevents me from straining my upper back. As I watched a few more of your videos more lightbulbs went off and I signed up for the premium membership. I played yesterday and cut 10 strokes off my normal score. I have never hit my irons as consistently solid as I did yesterday – straighter, much longer and swinging easier by letting gravity do most of the work. Woods were not as good but a I hit a few drives which were way long (for me) and straight. Also I didn’t lack the confidence to use my 5 wood off the fairway instead of a hybrid. I’m looking forward to viewing more of the premium videos and learning more.
Thank You for putting a lot more joy in my golf game !!
Fantastic! Thank you for the great comment and let’s keep going!😀👍
So I recently found your videos on you tube about 2 weeks ago. Up until recently I have been playing what I refer to as old man golf, even though I am fit 35 year old. Anyway just with a few YT tips from you, I have been hitting better and better. I lack consistency right now though.(I just become a member here like 3 days ago, been working through grip and posture videos.)
My question is – When I do perpetual motion drill it feels like some times I am doing figure 8s. Any ideas as to what causes this?
Hey dbgiles! Welcome to the club!
This is a very common issue when you first start doing the PMD; it means you are still in control of the movements instead of letting gravity place you. See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning” to really start letting the weight of the club release your anatomy. Then see a very key video called “grass whip training” which put it all together in a task for you. Enjoy!
Shawn
I noticed recently some of my divots are very big and deep. Strange. Also, while i’m concentrating on the levitation, I still have a tendency to rush or speed up the downswing, and not stay behind the ball. I think the trail hand release will work, but too many thoughts at the same time. Thanks
Hi Scott! What is the main task that you are using?
Shawn
Great question. I guess with all the thoughts going on I don’t have one.
Boom!! There it is!
Please go to “grass whip training” video and dig into that one; pardon the pun! 😝
When you are clear on how you are delivering the task through the stem of the dandelion towards the target, and you stay with it for the duration of the swing, you will get better very fast. And if your full time job was to whip through grass with a nice bladed instrument for 8 hours a day, then you would NEVER RUSH and SWING HARSHLY and you would use the weight of the instrument to do your work!
