Hi Shawn, is there any task that is akin to casting a fishing rod (wrists hinged) albeit towards a direction that is away from target, before beginning the downswing? it’s just been a random feeling that has seemed to work for me on-and-off recently, just wondering if theres any merit in that “task”
I have seen this before and you will see this at the top of my backswing when the wrists are too relaxed; the hinge and then pop back slightly out of the full hinge as the kinetic chain engages; THIS IS NOT FOR THE CONSCIOUS MIND!! If you feel this happens once in a while, pay no mind to it and stick to delivering your task into the direction you want to start the ball with momentum. Like a baseball hitter when waiting for the pitch, arms relaxed, then he commits to the pitch and as he steps into it, he throws the arms away from himself to deploy the arm-bat unit to bet catched by the kinetic chain. THE CONSCIOUS MIND IS WAY TOO SLOW TO MICRO MANAGE THIS ACTION!
Coming from the UK I’ve no idea what a short stop throw is ?
Same style of throw as skipping a stone on water or throwing a frisbee forehand style along the ground nice and low! 😀👍
When I do the club throwing drills, my form looks great AND I can throw the club at my target. But when I watch the club throw in slow motion, I can see that the club face is wide open through where the impact area would be.
Do you have any advice as to that AND also how to incorporate this into an actual swing b/c for me I cannot get the same feel/look/form when I am actually hitting a ball.
Also, want to add that I have tried strengthening the grip and did not solve the problem
Haha, there we go! See the first video in the “consistency series” and then see “important grip update” video. Then use “ goldie locks series”and close the face to 90 degrees if you need to to get the ball to curve to the left and FEEL THAT. Then adjust the grip and club face until you see the ball flight you want. If the ball still does not turn left; IT IS THE RELEASE and the latest “release update” and “snap release polish” videos are in order!
Loving this thought of a short quick shortstop throw for my wedges. It makes it so easy to deliver the club through the ball to the target. Thanks Shawn
New to thinking ball is not target
My issue is I have a long fluid practice swing
But actual swing is short
Brain wants to get back quickly to hit ball
Any thoughts
Thanks

You need to make it a progression;
-Full practice swing and observe blur of club
-Then bring set up to 2 tees and predict blur will cut through both tees and perform till you have success with both tees being cut through with view of blur
-Then place 2 tees flush with ground and repeat
-then place a ball on the first tee and cut through both tees with blur and see what happens when the ball meets the club face because of this focus and task.
-adjust club face to match the flight desired.
See “predict contact” and “goldie locks series”
Also see “through the ball” and part 2!
