Hey Shawn
My big miss is the hook and a really bad snap hook with this release. When the timing is correct I hit it dead straight and far. But when I’m off it’s left of left. But I can’t figure out the difference between those two. swings. Thoughts?
Thx
MORE THAN THOUGHTS! FACTS!! 😀👍
the snap hook has a lot of effort on the way down and snaps AT THE BALL, and when you are THROUGH THE BALL and you snap in the direction you want to start the ball, you get the bliss! See “target confirmation series” and the “goldilocks series” to understand how the ball is simply in the way of your target bound release; then see “stick your finish despite the ball series”
What an awesome video! how’d I miss this one!
Perfect for the Calgary Stampede!
Hey Shawn. I have really been focusing on intermediate target over the last month. I feel like lately I have not been releasing correctly, especially the driver. Hitting high pushes. So I started focusing on the release of my hands and wrists. Now it seems I am getting scoopy and hitting my irons to high and shorter. Where have I missed the release. I am a former college baseball player, so my tendency is to over swing and spin out with my body. Thanks!
Hey John! You are getting ahead of the ball which means the ball is now too far behind you and you need to reach back; like being late on the pitch and trying to go over the pitcher’s head! We need to get you behind the ball and moving through it; so see “hammer drill”, “contact mile markers”, “blur of club”, “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” and “bolted and centred”!
Thanks Shawn! That makes sense. I will go watch these now!
Shawn, I can’t seem to stop releasing early. I purchased the swing caddie. It is great. Best training device I own. I now realize the effort it takes to get my club speed up but the faster I swing the more I want to release early! Any drills or ideas?
Ok, a few key ducks we need to get in a row here;
1-do you have a task
2-do you have an intermediate point (religiously)
3-can you feel that you are using a nice dose of momentum through the arc-blur and over the intermediate point into the direction of flight?
4-have you used goldilocks to confirm distance to ball, ball position, grip and club face relationship (closed enough)?

Hey Shawn, I’ve had a few pros comment that I’m rotating my forearms and hands through impact, and that that is too difficult to time properly, and that that’s been causing inconsistency left and right. I’ve also experienced some pain in my left wrist as a result of trying to rotate that forearm as I pull down on the handle and release through impact. My solution to this feedback and integration with your teachings is as follows… I’ve noticed that when I get into a braced tilt position with the intention to drive the golf club hammer into the door frame, I’m able to take a strong grip with my left hand that allows the club face to be sufficiently square to target as I pull the club through the door frame. This stronger grip with the left hand means I don’t have to rotate through impact with my forearms. the release (the bulk of the rotation of the forearms and Club face) actually happens after impact. I’ve also found a relationship where the stronger my grip is on the left hand the more I have to brace tilt. Additionally, it becomes essential that I maintain that tilt through impact or else if I don’t stick with the shot and I jump out of the tilt through impact it goes way left and more left. Am I on the right track?
MAN, ARE YOU EVER ON THE RIGHT TRACK! 👍😀👊💪❤️
Come on! awesome!
Staying with the shot is the most essential thing you will do; WITNESSING MOMENTUM RIDING THE ARC BLUR THROUGH THE IP INTO THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO START THE BALL. If you did your prediction process and had some good solid practice with the “goldilocks series” and feel that when you let momentum release you in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball will want to go that way because your ball position is sound, be well struck because you have great posture that is allowing for good grass cutting and distance to ball is great because it feels like you can just let the swing track that way; and when the clubface and grip relationship is sound, you don’t need to hold off a hook from too strong and force a draw from too weak (what you used to do)
If any of these items of prediction feels off, how can you stay with the shot? So your head will move and the centre of swing will move and then the big can of worms of manipulation explodes! 😝😝
Way to go Dexter!
Thanks Shawn!!!! Mega helpful!!!
