Hi Shawn,
I have started to throw clubs and all of them go to the left ( Iam a right handed golfer). Even the one handed throws go way left.
I know I always fall towards the ball when trying to hit it, but I ingrained this so much in the last twenty years, that I even do it when there is no ball in the way and I am throwing one handed.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Knut
Do not give up!!! Continue throwing with an intermediate point and feel like you are throwing 30 yards right of where you are aiming!!
Shawn,
after the “club on roof” start – I really liked this drill and started throwing exactly where i wanted.
However i noticed my follow through was a little lower than yours – at or just below the 3 O’clock position – Is this a problem ?
Thanks
Declan
😂always great memories for our students who practice throwing some clubs!
if the club is going where you want it to go, that is what is important; you will get better as you go so try to practice this once a week! Next is throw and not let go and feel the FULL MEASURE OF THE RELEASE OF THE RIGHT HAND OVER THE LEFT HAND, and then you go with PREDICTION with he “predict contact” and the “goldie locks” series. Rock on! 💪🤛
Hi Shawn. So after 3 sets of 10 each clubs, I was able to throw them straight. During the first set, many of my clubs were going to the left. What does that mean? Some clubs were going low. I think, as I released the club toward the target I had to go “deeper” and release later to make them go straight. Guess that’s the object of this drill but I’m not sure.
SIDE VISION!! Why do you think the over head throw always hits the mark and the side throw starts left? EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THIS! See ALIGNMENT RELOAD video on premium! 👍😀
I just did this drill today for the first time. Wow, what an eye opener! First time I did it it flew up into the tree to the left and behind me! Then it was going high left for a while and then finally straight out in front but a bit low.
I have been having some many issues playing. I just won my Club Championship for the 3rd time out of the last 4 years but the 2nd day was awful. Shot 45 on the front and was just about to cry. My ball was all over the place. Fortunately I got it together on the back and shot 36 and luckily my closest competitor had a bad day.
I have to feel like my right hip stays high and I am throwing sideways at the target to hit it well. I am a backhander and the frisbee analogy seems to work. I also have trouble starting my swing because my arms out race my body. Working on this but have almost quit this game a few times in the last year!
Imagine how silly it sounds when a tour player or a multiple club champion wants to quit the game because it’s too hard…sounds very silly for the rest of the golfers out there no? I KNOW WHY AND I HAVE DEEP SCIENCE BEHIND MY FINDINGS TOGETHER WITH A STADIUM FULL OF GOLFERS AS MY STUDENTS AS FEEDBACK AND VALIDATION.
Take tennis: when receiving a tennis ball from a simple second serve, and you know exactly where in the court you want to return it to, your brain can organize the positioning of the body precisely to execute. HOWEVER, if you are unsure where to put it and hesitate, YOU WILL FALTER. IF YOU GET DISTRACTED BY AN OUTSIDE AGENCY SUCH AS A STREAKER RUNNING ACROSS THE COURT OR PETE SAMPRAS SHOWING UP TO WATCH YOU, YOU WILL FALTER. If you stay on task, stay with the shot until you fully deliver the action through the ball and into the area you want to send it, you will shine.
We have several players on the Euro tour who keep calling Edouard and they keep getting completely different answers from the coaches who are using scare tactics to hold them in place; yet they still can’t make their way back to where they were because they keep getting distracted by BODY PART POSITION MADNESS. THE LAST QUESTION EDOUARD ASKED IS: “where do you think that pull comes from?” And “do you know how to stay with your shot?” To which they answer: I DON’T KNOW! This is from a tour player people!!! This from a player who won AbuDhabi in 2015 against Rory!
So, why would the arms outrace the body on the backswing? Because you are in control and trying to find a place to place the arms; instead of “getting ready to use the weight of the arm-club unit to deliver the action to the direction you want to start the ball, to which now the body has to “heave the arm-club unit into the backswing” to get things going. Want to get the arms to outrace the body in the downswing? EASY!! Just go after the ball hard!!
And please don’t try to keep that hip higher; this was just a flavour your conscious mind caught a glimpse of when you hit a nice shot; so just enjoy the flavour and then get back to task in the next shot and forget the body parts. We will continue this conversation until ALL OF YOU ARE FREE and have full PREDICTION POWERS AS TO WHAT YOU WANT YOUR SHOTS TO DO. This is when you have opportunities to slip into a nice deep zone and hit your personal bests!
Shawn
Thank you so much for your reply!!
The right hip higher feeling I feel keeps my right foot on the ground so I don’t spin out of the shot.
Today I practiced allowing my legs to heave my arm club unit into the backswing and tried to feel the weight instead of trying to control the motion. For me, I have to allow the swing to happen instead of trying to make it happen. I watched the new “Levitate” video too and am trying to incorporate that feeling. I’m a 6.5 handicap and sometimes when I play in tournaments I look like I’ve never played. I have to learn to give control to gravity. I’ll keep watching your videos. I’m determined to stop the insanity!
Keep us posted! 👍😀
Hi Shawn
At about 8:58 you mention/show the Swing Caddy. You mention that it is very accurate. I have one. I cannot get the release beyond 52-54 mph. And I feel a little strain as well at 54 mph. I also realise that my normal swing is much below 54 if the reading of Swing Caddy is accurate.
I plan to send some swing videos across. Club throwing, Swing Caddy and actual later this month. Lets see.:)
Best Wishes.
Hi Mohanjit!
Yes, but it could be that the weight of the instrument is a bit heavy for you; I like the heft because it “tracks” and loads the whippy short shaft on the unit nicely. The next step in the process is to perhaps strengthen the areas of your kinetic chain that are weaker because you are only as strong as the weakest link in your kinetic chain. In our next video analysis, let me see you in a swing from face on and down the line with the swing caddy at 52-54 setting.
