Shawn I’ve noticed that I sit back on my heels and not bent over much from hips. Can you give an image or video to watch?
Hey Sam! Just sent you a couple clips on your email; the videos you want to see are “posture” and “dynamic posture” as well as “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series”
You want to take your posture first, with solid knee flex, which will feel “stupid ridiculous” in your mind, then bring the posture to the ball which will feel too far from the ball, but when you put on video, you will look just normal…😝😝
Shawn – my struggle is I get in good sandbag tossing posture then get over the ball and hunch down which means there is no room for my elbows. Any suggestions or videos? I’ve already used the football videos very helpful anything else? Thanks
Hi Cliff! Yes, see “trail hand release” and “trail hand release in the backswing” as well as the “shawn’s new favourite drill” which we used very successfully again in last evening’s sessions at the club with a particular student! 😀👍
Thanks Shawn- it’s getting down to the ball that’s the issue above the ball posture is good and I can do perpetual motion drill but then I change my angles as I get down to the ball and my elbows then have no room
When you feel this way, ate you getting ready to throw the club to the target or are you feeling you have no room to hit AT THE BALL? 😝
there is a big difference of where the trail elbow will extend depending upon what your focus is! Also, when doing the “predict contact” and “goldie locks series” with levels, when you perform the intentional thin shot, do you get flush? And if you perform the intentional toe shot, do you get flush? See about those too and get back to me! ! 👍👍
Thanks so much for the detailed reply Shawn nobody provides the detailed responses that you do shows your genuine commitment to your students! All those drills work for me sometimes. It’s that other times I lower myself to the ball by bending my upper body hunching over and literally blocking myself so I can’t swing no room! So even if my focus is good my set up doesn’t permit a swing my elbows can’t go. I see in your posture video you talk about lowering to the ball by bending the knees more and sticking out your rear. Is there a video on keeping the machine intact as you prepare to swing? My posture is always good as I take my practice swing above the ball and so I have full freedom but I lower myself the last few inches incorrectly and change everything. Any advice other than lower by bending knees and sticking rear end out thanks
Use “goldie Locks” approach, see the series by that name and see the “distance to ball” video from that series.
Hey Shawn – I’ve noticed a problem is that my arms are kind of bent at set up so this causes my elbows to get too close to my body then I can’t swing. Any videos about keeping arms relatively straight at set up so elbows have room?
You bet Cliff! See “football drill series” and we can start another thread there when and if you have questions about that! 👍😀
So in my posture I have a problem with swaying back in the swing which is causing me to chunk a lot of shots.
Hi Robert! One of the most important videos for understanding turn is “weight shift with Savy” and the “arm swing vs body turn” video as well. Then see “critical first 2 feet of the backswing” series and then you want to get into the “kinetic chain facilitation series” and “perpetual motion drill series” then polish this with the 2020-21 off season training series. Enjoy!
Once you have your grip and begin into posture what determines how high or low the hands will be at address. I feel as if I could have different height stances for the same club depending on if I let the wrists extend or have a more natural bend at address. If I let wrists extend, taller posture, I feel as though I better feel the weight of the arm club unit but struggle with consistency. When I do make contact it is pure though.
Hey Jason! Darn! Sorry I missed this one! Just answered Robert and saw this.
OK, what you want to always gauge these questions with is your task towards the target. In the 2020-21 off season training series, we talk about leverage in the posture and this forward posture with lower hands is what ALLOWS YOU TO GET DEEPER THROUGH THE BALL and not stand up tall and swing AT THE BALL with no leverage. Then you want to see “kinetic chain facilitation series” to really feel the ground use delivering the task!
