So I’ve played shortstop and skipped many a stone in my younger days. When I try to replicate that feeling with the golf club it feels flippy in the hands and I’m missing that under/through feeling. I’ve done the club throw but it is always separated quite it bit in time from hitting balls. I’ve not found a place where I could do both in close proximity of time. Any idea what I can do to remedy this?
See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” videos first;
Then when you go to the range; do the “goldie locks” series video that pertains to levels;

Agree Mick10.
Mentally I like the left handed ( i’m a righty) frisbee throw. Left foot grounded with the weight of the Frisbee/arm unit waiting for permission to sling when i’m out of the way. Super lag, nice kinetic chain and my brain is learning (for the most part) to think “I’m going out there”, NOT down to the ground. Love throwing clubs but range staff think i’m nuts. J.
Make sure the clubs you are throwing are steel shafted crappy one from play it again sports and not your graphite shafted ones! 😝😀👍
Great insight Shawn. That “skipping the stone” motion really clicked for me. I practice that feel every day I hit balls. I believe this is the reason I am hitting the ball so far especially with my irons.
Yes, you bet! That nice little compact zippy sling with ease where you have plenty of time to get the runner out at first base! 👍😀
Does your swing to the ball feel exactly like your throw?
Pretty much the same yes! Like an upside down volley ball spike!
Some days I am spot on accurate with my short irons and other days I’m hitting them all over the place and the swings feel the same. That is the most frustrating part of my game right now.
That means the center of the swing is moving; and the reason why that would move is either you are blacking out or you are unaware that your posture, direction of momentum and axis of rotation no longer matches delivering in the direction you want to start the ball.
You saw “bolted and centred” “mile markers for direction” (vid 4 of consistency series) and “tilt awareness direction” videos?
I will review them. Bolted and Centered is probably the problem.
Jaimie, of course Shawn is the expert but please allow me to give an amateur’s view. When I started using Shawn’s method I had flashes of brilliance followed by intervals of frustrating ball striking. Perhaps it takes some of us a little longer to ingrain the natural throwing move into a golf swing. Stick with it and eventually your consistency should improve. I would also suggest videoing your swing from several angles so you can see if your feel is real.
