Shawn, new member. Trying to wrap my head around your site. But I have to say that I would like to understand why you are not holding your finish in a number of swings. Should we not be able to be in balance at the end of the swing?
You bet Marcus! That is my focus point right now and the latest series on sticking the finish are HUGE FOR ME and are taking my consistency to the next level! In my case, because I find my swing every day and have not had a slump for several decades, I got complaisant and have had a lesson with a student revive that in me and had my light bulb moment! You will see much better from me going forward!👍👌💪😀
What is meant by “spinning through the ball” ?
You would be making the table top spinners “spin” by brushing across them with the toe of the club.
Great stuff!
Any chance you’ll be doing any golf schools in the US this year?
We are looking towards the fall of this year; details will come out a bit later as the conditions for Covid improve! 👍
Hello, Rather new here. I see a lot of tilt in all your set ups. When I look at the ladies on the LPGA I see very little tilt. Lydia Ko is more of my size. Also when you tilt – do you bump your hip forward to create that side bend (a la Axys golf?) or do you just bend the upper body to the right (right handed small lady 68 years – hcp 15). Weight equal?
Hi Barbro! Welcome to our channel!
what you want to look at is the tilt they have through impact; most of them remember have been classically taught and they have succeeded despite their distractions to body parts. If you watch Rory or Tommy Fleetwood or even Saheeth Thegala who almost won as a rookie on a sponsor’s invite last weekend through impact, they get to the deep tilts we advocate as this is the only way to get through the ball in an anatomically friendly way!
just search the words “head position tilt hip turn” in the search box on the “list of videos by date” page. Enjoy and talk to you later! 😀👍
Thank you, I look at your daughters wonderful swing and to me it seems as she is setting up almost to impact and then leave that position (naturally) in the backswing. For me when I (almost stack and tilt?) do that I get very stiff and I loose the feeling. Guess I have to stick to it and give it a further try. Understand what you are saying about – forget positions. Just focus on the target.
Love all your videos and your explanations and the fact that you have your daughter on the show.
BTW Have never before closed the faced – (thought that was a bad thing in the past lol). I love it and I can swing more freely out to the right. Hopefully some nice draws will show up soon.
Good stuff! What I would like for you is to get some good HOOKS going and show your brain that side of “goldie locks” like in the “draw fine tuning” video and then it will find a better balance and get you there much faster. As for the “forget positions” YES-But you forgot an important “interchange” which is the TASK and the “target” is the direction you will deliver your task into which is a “flight plan” and therefore the direction you are delivering your task is into the beginning of this flight plan or the initial direction of the ball to the right or left of the intermediate point.
Task examples:
-send the dandelion stem into that direction with a nice momentum
-send a divot peel into same
-squeeze a ball through a doorframe with weight (momentum)
-throw the club into a nice release into the initial ball flight with prediction that stem or peel is in the way
-spin those tees that way with momentum
enjoy! 😀👍
Hi Shawn,
Whilst my focus is on spinning the ball deep into my picture, I notice that at address my eyes are looking in the vicinity of the ball which is a bit blurry rather than fixed on the ball itself and I sometimes struggle with clean contact on chips and pitches.
Should my eyes remain fixed on the ball throughout my backswing. I assume so as if I was cutting a dandelion my eyes would remain on the stem with focus of sending it into the picture?
Hi Craig! Yes, when I gaze down where the ball is, the picture looks blurry too and it’s not that we need glasses, it is the fact that we are focused on a specific task which is dynamic! This is a good thing. Now the key to solid contact is to make the stem of the ball a precise intersection on the way to the target (flight plan of the shot-and the “target” represents the direction you want the ball to start on)
The way to make this precise is to see the “blur of club” and match it to the ball and intermediate point and feel like if you allowed momentum to swing naturally in the direction you want to start the ball, that the blur of club would go through both.
See all the “arc blur” and “unstoppable momentum” videos
