Hi Shawn, question about draws. I find that to draw the driver I will need an extremely strong grip (face closed 45 degrees or potentially slightly more), any weaker and i will push the ball right along the intended start line but it wont curve back left. The issue with such a strong grip is that at address – in order to maintain a square face to the ball, my lead wrist feels very tension-y due to it being so flexed. I know from your videos that you guys (including Mu, Sav) have their lead wrists set that way at address but it DOES feel weird for me. (on the other hand, fades are way easier since my grip doesn’t need to be that strong.) Is this something I will just need to get used to? I know the other way is to have a not-so-strong grip but think about releasing/ turning over the wrists earlier in the swing in order to close the club face for impact, but i suppose that involves some timing and i assume you are not a fan of that approach 😂
Hi Shing! Yes you are close; things will evolve some more for you; the “important release update” video is key and when you get that feel, it will take some pressure off the need to have a super strong grip. However, if you are hitting high draws, there will be a need to close the face as the higher you go, the more it opens the face. Sav and Mu are used to angle of attacks of 10 degrees up and this affects the face big time. Every 2 holes on course, you should do some “release drills” to help keep the feel of RELEASING THROUGH close by and this will help.
Thanks so much, let me work on that release. I also had a question on your older “fade fine tuning” video – appreciate it Shawn if you could help clarify there too!
In concept, for a curve to the left, when ball flight starts right of IP, I can’t help but to imagine an impact point (club on ball) that is a dimple or two toward the golfer. As opposed to an impact point at the exact rear of the ball (looking along the target line). Just like when kicking a soccer ball. You don’t mention this, so perhaps the concept not all that helpful or accurate? (Perhaps the danger of swinging at rather than through.) Thanks.
If you can still swing through while doing this, absolutely fine! 😀👍
Can you do a video on velocity or is there a video that talks about it more? It comes up a lot and I just would like some clarity. Thanks!
Best video for that is the “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” #6 being my favourite!
I had a question/observation Shawn. When I get behind the ball to swing to the right of the intermediate point(IP), the body seems and feels contorted. During the swing it wants to come back to its normal position/straighten itself resulting in pulls. Obviously very different from swinging over the IP or as in fade to the left of IP.
In this case, go to the diagonal stance series and use the draw from that series👍😀
Great confidence boosting/building video Shawn.
Yes sir! A boat load of wisdom in this series! A stadium full of golfers speaking through my mouth! 😀👍
