Hello Shawn, I wanted to understand the correct club position at the top of the backswing. From what I can infer (please correct me if I am misunderstanding) your club is parallel to the ground, and the club head is closer to/in line with your left ear (red line in the image below). My club head tends to be away from my left ear, almost collapsing and from here I struggle to create any power and lag.
Do you rotate your forearms at the top of the backswing to bring the clubhead towards the red line? I just joined the community today so if there are any videos of yours you could redirect me to, I’d appreciate that.
Thanks for the revelations!
hi Shawn, also – are there any specific videos you would point out for holding my lag? I’ve tried moving the ball further in my stance to avoid casting but still struggle to keep my lag causing loss of distance (e.g. 7 iron ~155 yards)
Hey Neel; yes of course! See “how to match backswing to ball direction” as well as “weight shift with Savy” which will be extremely important for understand how the weight shifts from backswing to downswing and completing your turn makes a huge difference with that. Next you want to see “throwing the club” and the “throwing series” for your lag; then understanding how the ball gets in the way of your throw towards the target with the “goldilocks series” and the “target confirmation series”
Thanks Shawn! I’ve tried this on the range and was practicing the throwing and matching the backswing to ball direction with short irons as I found it easier to visualize the plane. I would like to send a couple of videos for analysis after I’ve registered these new concepts, and was wondering if down the line or face on angle is preferred – or both. My biggest issue at the moment I feel is holding my lag due to which I am struggling with distance.
