Hi Shawn. Have been following you for some time. I am making better contact, which brings it’s own problems. I have been overshooting the greens, then went to where I was consistently coming up short. If the green is elevated, how do you adjust your club selection to compensate for the rise? Or for the drop too.
Hi Judy! Goldilocks is your best friend when it comes to that and where the trouble is will confirm; hard for me to see every situation from here and most often, every situation is unique. Ask what club would you use to carry over the green and what club you would use to lay up in front of the green and the one in between would be pretty good!
As for overshooting, you were probably with a stronger grip releasing through the ball and then the grip got weaker and you started releasing at the ball and got shorter; that is very much the general reason by far! So get back to “important grip update” and the first 2 or 3 videos in the “consistency series” and feel what we do in “momentum already there before you swing” series.
Just to clarify, even for the elevation changes, Goldilocks it? And then just trust it? So, it is more a feel thing.
EXACTLY!!!👍👌
Hey Shawn, I’m a new subscriber and have been all over the place in locating videos. I find myself getting lost with what I want to see. In the video where you are hitting left handed the ball appears to be back quite a ways in your stance, I’m judging this by the location of the white tee in front of you and the white tee behind on the square mat. Your technique and motion looks like a Dr Kwon type of motion.
I would like to hear where the ball is in your stance and why Sav doesn’t have your precise motion. Would you also please direct me to a location in the Premium section where I can progress through your teachings in an organized manner.
thank you for your patience.

Hi Jerry! Let’s start with WISDOM IN GOLF 1.0 which you will see at the bottom of the “list of videos by date” and you will see that Dr Kwon is a bit later to the table than you think! 😝😀 Then see the “working the ball” videos and you will get ball position and to make that even more precise, see “the goldie locks series” which is a prediction process you are going to develop based on the shots you want to hit; the BIG 4 are BALL POSITION, DISTANCE TO BALL, GRIP AND CLUB RELATIONSHIP, AND LEVELS.
Once you have gotten your feet nicely wet, let me know what parts of your game you want to improve and I will be glad to point you in the right direction.
There is no cookie cutter way to go about it as everyone comes with a certain bagage from past instruction that has been flawed from the beginning. Stay on this roller coaster and enjoy the ride; there will be ups and downs, but there will be career shots and big thrills along the way!
Hi I’m new to golf only been playing a month im not a complete begginer but I’m still a novice so i was just wondering is there anywhere I need to start or do I just consume as much knowledge as possible? Cheers thanks
You bet James! Please start with the beginner series and then do all the “task” videos; just search “task” on the site and also go to the “wisdom in Golf 1.0” in the “list of videos by date” section at the bottom; that series started this all! 😀👍
Shawn, unrelated question but what glove with black palm do you use
Could not say for sure; they have been all white the last couple years!
hi shawn, out of curiosity, do you have different “tasks” when u swing left and right handed? also, from your experience, is it okay to think of more than one task at a time? for example, thinking of a battering ram and also throwing the club at the same time?
GREAT QUESTIONS JOSHUA!
my left handed swing-eyes between club and ball on grass-sending the stem of dandelion to direction of flight with momentum-sawing through from heel to toe with momentum for fades.
Right handed; eyes in front of ball on grass; sending the grass clippings into the direction of flight with momentum
You can definitely use BATTERING RAM TO THROW THE CLUB as the release of the second pendulum is the throwing release! 😀👍
Looking in the front of the ball was game changer for me. I keep the ball in my “side” vision just out of focus while my primary focus is on the intermediate point and grass in front. The result was no more head turn in the backswing and an easier release to the target.
Right on Jason! Great feedback!
