At 21:30 of this lesson my life changed. I have been watching you for a year or so on and off. Direction of the target have eluded me. When you said the tennis player is on the left and you want to hit it to the right side down the line it clicked. If I try to paint the corners on a tennis court I get it! Now I can also gather and release.
Thanks 🙂
Right on Tim! Great Epiphany! 😀👍👌💪
Shawn, I want to clarify how the club is held in the left hand for a right handed person. Savanna seems to have the club more in her palm than on the fingers like Ben Hogan teaches and most other teachers. Am I seeing this correctly?
When you watch the Grip videos on the Bottom of the “list of videos by date” you will see that the requirement is NOT POSITIONAL and is related to how secure the feel in your hand is while executing a swing.
Hello Shawn,
so i went out on the golf course today to start using the method you are teaching. Have to say, i‘m playing since not even 2 years and lowered my hcp to 22.
Out on the course today i really had to get rid of the method i have been taught to swing the club since nearly two years and tried on every shot to get in the new posture, strong grip with closed club face….
To make it short: Chipping, Pitching and 9 and 8 iron pretty good, great contact, sometimes a bit short maybe, but good shots. 6, 5 iron and Hybrid, still with a great tendency to be sliced. Driver….mhm….at least today not really good. Still slicing the driver and struggling a bit with the swing of this long stick. Decided not to think too much about it, it‘s my first day with your swing and i suppose it takes a view weeks to get used to it and to get consistent.
Many thanks for sharing your videos and your teaching in such a great way. I really appreciate it very much.
Hey Thomas! This tells me that the release and freedom or abandon in the swing needs some polish; please see “lead hand release” “trail hand release” “release fine tuning” and “snap release polish” to get the flow going and then see “throwing the club” and “target confirmation series” and “draw fine tuning”
Hey Shawn,
Many thanks, i will check those videos in a amoment!
Have a great day!
Hi Shawn, Just recently joined after doing the 5 min video review. The strong grip has transformed my iron game in just a few short days. The task of hitting a door frame is helping a ton as well. I’ve added 15 yards and the weak push fade is gone. However , I am struggling to transfer this to the longer clubs, as I’m hitting some nasty hook draws with same grip and task. FYI I’m also an interlocker Any suggestions on videos and task that can help with driver? Should I just experiment and try to go a hair weaker until I find the sweet spot ?
There you go! Exactly! However, you want to be able to confirm that you are through the ball fully first and not releasing too soon AT THE BALL. See “the goldie locks series” and “predict contact” as well as the “target confirmation series” and “pre-motor cortex series”
I interlock like your daughter. The one thing I have a problem with is the index finger being so stiff that it’s hard to space it the way she does or much at all. When I do the compression is 2x better. Is there a way to stretch my index finger to loosen it up?
Great question Eric! Yes, as you continue to work the “trigger finger” against the shaft to apply some nice pressure through the cut of the stem of the dandelion, it will stretch out the ligaments and it will get easier as you go! My left handed index finger had that issue and I was able to iron out the kinks nicely and they are both good now. See the original grip videos on premium at the bottom of the “fundamentals” list and see where we talk about the “knife the grip” like when you cut through think veggies in the kitchen!
Thanks for the response! That’s good news as I’ve been doing that for a couple days hitting into a net. Can’t believe the difference in the compression! My only problem is focusing on my trigger finger instead of my target so I gotta get that thing stretched out lol
Yes; and just apply the pressure you feel against the shaft TO THE TARGET and get both covered with the purpose of this grip! 😀👍
