Hi – what video do you discuss putting tape on the driver? Thank you….
Shawn, You should have some videos with real students. I have been watching Dr. Kwon Golf on youtube and I learn a lot watching him work with real students. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwCWfCapZNK_ulayYNTBJxQ/featured
Hey Neal! Yes, we have plans to do more series with students in the future when travel resumes; our clients here in Quebec City are 95% French Speaking and the last 2 years have been a challenge here in Canada. We do have over 5 series with students in premium already, have you seen them?

A huge issue for my golf swing was that I never understood (or that at least never clicked) via WiG videos how to feel the proper rotation in the golf swing. What I found was that I needed to do was
At the end of the backswing, there was no swaying, perfect weight shift, loaded arms and my head and body tilt happens automatically! Then I take the ‘tee’ down a bit lower and continue. I started to understand how the arm levitation happens at the end of the rotation, and how momentum now comes into play when we’re dealing with an inclined rotation. After this I would take it to full golf posture and pretend I’m cutting through bamboo or stem or tee or compressing the volleyball with the toe of the club staying high just the same as doing it shoulder level.
Once I had this benchmark for what centered rotation really felt like and plugged it into perpetual motion, light bulbs went off. I know feet together and the perpetual motion should help with this type of thing but for some reason after many hours of trying, I didn’t make this leap until understanding through the way I described.
This leads into how the task of spinning things seems feels the same to me as cutting through things but with keeping the toe up – the deeper your spin the longer the toe of the club stays up (as in, makes the release later because the toe turning to the left means the forearms are rotating and hands turning over)
Anyways, I would like to put forth this concept to help understand the golf swing is just the same as turning ‘level’ but on an inclined plane! Hope this helps someone as much as it helped me.
What a fantastic post! I have done this with a few students successfully; so you have my full blessing on it! 😀👍👌 Way to go Tristan!
The above post describes the “horizontal swing drill” I found recently at Dr Kwon’s YouTube channel. That kind of drill helped me with feeling the ground—fully activating kinetic chain—leg driven swing, on both sides. The pump (of my understanding) was well primed from WIG principles and task descriptions. Has given me better club-head speed and seems to help swing path, to make more neutral. And with driver and tilt, to finally click that tilt extends all the way thru tailbone and not just feel at shoulders. Playing some winter golf here near Vancouver.
Very nice description Donald! 👍😀
I have an odd thing going on with my swing that I’ve recently found since purchasing a GC3. For all of my irons/hybrid clubs, i have a nice in to out swing path. But for my driver, i have an out to in swing path and can’t seem to catch it clean. Will this drill help with that? Is there another lesson i should be reviewing as well to fix that in to out path with driver that’s causing my slice?
I’ve had this issue as well. For me it was caused by the ball being too far forward relative to the center of your swing. I would then hit it with poor contact or had to lunge forward to reach, causing change in the arc. It sounds like you could easily rule that out – move it back and try to make the same swing with the otherwise same setup and see if your path is read differently!
Also this: You bet Shane! See “great driver nugget” and the “diagonal stance series” and combine the set up with this drill! 😀👍
Thanks, Tristan! I will try this.

Thanks!!
Just tried this at the dome today. It’s the real deal! Great stuff! Now I just need this snow to melt in Minnesota.
Right on! It just keeps getting better and better! 😀👍👌💪
