Hey Shawn, I noticed your hands are almost at head height (in both draw & fade videos), if not above your head. After I went over how I take away my driver my hands are definitely not that high, so is this something I should be trying to achieve or is this something that naturally just happens? I never really looked into the hands & the height, so would love to hear your insight. Cheers, Brian
You will see a great video on this on Wednesday, so stay tuned! You will also want to see “backswing levitation” and the backswing portion of the “lead hand release” video as well as the “throwing series” which shows throwing all the different lengths of clubs and the adjustment in feel that the body does when throwing something shorter vs longer.
Cheers Shawn! Much appreciated!
Shawn, I have been away for a bit.
I noticed on Track Man that my club is 4 to 10 degrees closed to the path every time. It is pretty much the same for all clubs. The result is either a hard draw or hook. (for the last 3 indoor sessions) I do have a ‘strong’ grip but when I extend my arms straight out the toe is just a little bit over. When I try a weaker grip I feel disconnected.
Has my body gone quiet? Can you point me to a video(s) or just make a recommendation for a task to engage the torso? Is it something else?
Hey Jon! Yes, the first thing you need to confirm is did you get the peak speed in the direction you wanted to start the ball or did it peak at the bottom? See “target confirmation series” for that one. Also, here is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s you tube video which is great for this too! https://youtu.be/apXe9yfe6Q4. Enjoy!
Shawn I noticed it appears that you use a diagonal stance for your draw and more of a normal stance for the fade when you line up left of your target. It also appears the ball position is more towards your lead foot for the fade and further back for the draw. Is that the actual case or is it just the angle of the diagonal stance that makes it appear that way? Could you clarify that and if there is a difference in the relative ball position give a ball park distance like a ball width, 2 ball widths etc.? I watched the videos for both slow motion draw and fade several times and couldn’t tell exactly what you were using in your setup for each. Do you normally get a lower, more penetrating ball flight on your stock draw than for the fade? Is your carry and roll distance significantly different for the different ball flights? I understand it is all relative to the direction in which you release the ball to start and the clubface closure determines the amount of fade or draw relative to that path. Could you be a bit more specific on when you are using the diagonal stance how that affects the ball position for the draw?
Hey DL! See
“great driver Nugget” which explains the reason behind the Diagonal stance and the reasoning behind the ball position as well. Here I am going for mid height on both and the camera angle on the fade will be a bit off to show the alignment from face on and this will distort the ball position’s appearance. Ball position cannot ever be determined by how much it is inside the lead heel, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO PLACE IT WHERE YOU FEEL YOU WILL CATCH IT ON THE WAY UP AND INTO THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO START IT ON AND ONLY YOU CAN FEEL THIS!!!! See “goldie locks series” with ball position for the PURPOSE of ball position.
Great content! Keep up the good work!
