Hello, watch all the process vids and many others. I understand how to set up for draw and fade. And today went to hit balls. And I implemented the stuff. I never draw or hook , I would fade or slice. But today, strong draw, or hooking. I made adjustments, club face, squirt more to right and no luck. Kept hooking or strong draw.
I may be doing the smother hook you spoke of ….. But I don’t know what that really is. I concentrated on sternum notch and it did less but nothing to be excited about. I guess I need to video myself.
But do you have other vids and other drills to watch to remedy this
Thank you
Hey Michael! Good stuff! You just took a step in the right direction! Now let’s sharpen this with the following videos in the order below:
-how to match backswing with ball direction
-blur of club
-arc blur unstoppable momentum series
-draw fine tuning
-fade fine tuning (yes, to balance the swing, you need to practice both)
let me know how you develop!!
Appreciate it! I have watched them in the past, but it was great to watch them again.
But, I was able to go to the range today and implement the stuff. I have to say….. its pretty cool to purposely do a draw or a fade. Now I just need to fine tune it, to be able to put the ball close to where I want it. Just more practice.
But, the big thing I learned today, the more relaxed (let the arm club unit work) I was the better the shot. Plus, the battering ram method is a great thing for me to visualize.
Also – at the end of the session I did hit about 20 balls with my driver and that was NOT fun. I was still hooking hard, which I never did. I think I am not staying centered…. (again).
Also – knees are hurting….am I swaying? ….or some say – hip bump…. I don’t feel it….but does’t mean I am not doing it right?
Thanks again
Watch the strain level with the driver! See the “spinner series” we did recently and you will appreciate the loss of side spin that will occur with this task!
Great video, Shawn. I am just now getting back to your system…. after wandering a bit with other concepts. This is truly the most system I have seen for hitting the ball well. Question: My irons and fairway woods have been spot on, but my driver seems to get this snap hook about half the time. Any suggestions, or things to watch out for? Thanks in advance.
You bet! The driver for many is where the strain levels go through the roof unknowingly; when I ask you what distance you hit a wedge, you have an answer; a 7 iron, again and answer, a driver? AS FAR AS POSSIBLE! 😝😂
So, start by hitting a few iron shots where you would use 2 extra clubs to get there; full backswing and full follow through and a nice throw in the direction you want the ball to start. Then apply the same swing to the driver. The section on driver in “the throwing series” is “premium” 👍👍
See “pre-motor cortex” series and “target confirmation series” to make sure you are ready at address to get all the way through the tip of tee to target and stay with that task until you get confirmation! With ease of course!
Great advice! I’ll be working on this. Thanks, Shawn.
Where are you in relation to the “doorframe”. And what part of the doorframe are you”squeezing” the ball into?
See the video called “hammer drill” 👍😀
Thanks Shawn (sorry mis-spelled) originally.
I watched videos you recommended. Quick question do you have an idea of what the minimum percent of shoulder turn is needed to be successful with this method? In your more recent videos it looks like your shoulder turn might be like 70% and your crushing the ball?
As I am trying to change from a rotational to your more gravity based…. I am still having some hip pain although I am guessing that it is because I am still just getting used to the change and likely reverting to old habits more than I think.
I have had couple good sessions where I can feel the pop/compression.
Good stuff! And please do not think about how many degrees turn; your system DOES NOT AND CANNOT FUNCTION THIS WAY! You take a nice full backswing and FEEL that you can whip the club with ease and velocity and feel that the mass of compression is nicely behind the ball. See the “backswing series videos” on premium!
Sean i am a new member and got back into golf few years ago and nothing was working until I went to a more rotational (square to square) type swing. Then I had a bad fall and hurt my hip and while I can still stay around 10 handicap my hip hurts and really hard to play 2 days in a row. I am also 63 years old so looking for a swing that is body friendly.
Your swing looks so effortless i am hoping I can get there but transition from rotational to gravity while conceptually makes sense, really feels foreign to me. I have reviewed lots of videos and noticed that most videos where giving a lesson you really focus on the task of releasing to target and you seem to get the student to better contact yet most of their swings don’t look anything like your easy motion swing.
If I am going to go thru the struggle of swing change then I truly need to make it a body / hip friendly swing. Should I try to mimic your swing with the up and down movement….or is there multiple ways to achieve a powerful but body friendly swing? Do you have suggestions for as seniors? I haven’t found any videos specific for we seniors on the site.
Very nice post!
All videos on this site are completely senior friendly! Most my students are between 40 and 80.
Also, everything here applies to the human machine! See “Cameron Champ age 12 shawn clement” on youtube and that is the swing all kids should have!! The perfect model.
Now, as for your hip, here is what we need to do: PERFORM A TASK SUCH AS “PEEL THE CARROT” which is to send the carrot peel to the direction you want to start the ball with ease and a nice velocity and listen to your system and perform it with your body. Your brain is an amazing problem solver and will take the steps it needs to survive and thrive with what you have.
