So I went to a birthday party and did axe throwing. When we got there I carefully watched the instructor do demonstration throws. It looked just like throwing a club overhand. (I have seen that a few times on this web site) He locked his eyes on the target, pulled the axe back, then took a stride planting his left foot, this action opened his torso and then he finished it with a release to the target. Simple. I just had to figure out the rotation of the axe head to set my distance. After a while I could take aim at different targets. All those young adults could not understand how the old guy could stick the axe nearly every time while they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn (so to speak). They asked me how I did it and I said it was a lot like a golf swing. They didn’t believe me. Maybe I am a better axe thrower than golfer, but your principles are solid Shawn.
Haha, fun!
As soon as you have the distance, you just look at the target and throw; just like the throw we show in our “head position and lag shawn clement” video
Great post Jon!
Nice videos. Never get tired of watching the basics. Can see Colin sneaking weight to the front at address, not so of course with the walking swing. Seems so easy to get “paralyzed” over the ball in a static posture that seems ok but in fact sabotages the dynamic act of swinging to the target with nice tempo and effortless balanced swing. Thanks Matt and Sensei Shawn.
😀👍
why does the student set club in front of ball when setting up?
Always a work in progress; what do you mean by this?
Colin is almost there,..some of his setup and swings look really good then he lapses into his comfort feel and goes back to his old ways…keep up the good tuition shawn, youll get him there..cant wait for the next video!
Awesome! You saw that too! 👍😀
Hi Shawn,
Your videos and golf insight have really improved my overall golf game getting me down to a 4 instead of an 8 hcp
Question, at impact I take a shalow dovot, what is the thought process, drill or what is precenting me to really hit down and take a normal dollar bill dovot and hold the angle until you cutting the grass after the divot ?
Great stuff! This one is pretty easy! It is all about predictions or task:
See the “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” video and the “golf is as easy as peeling carrots shawn clement” video;
On premium, we have these as well; see “predict contact” and “through the ball” part 1-2 where we spray water to target!
Hi Shawn,
Your videos and golf insight have really improved my overall go getting my down to a 4 onstead of an 8. Question, at impact I take a shalow dovot, what is the thought process or drill to really hit down and take a normal dollar bill dovot and hold the angle until you cutting the grass after the divot ?
Hello Shawn
I viewed the video you suggested, and will work on keeping my irons cutting the grass/low after ball. Is there a video or a thought with the club hitting the ball then digging into the dirt ?
In addition once I complete my backswing I sometimes forget to set myself against the ground and rush the downswing ? Video and thought process from commuting backswing beaching yourself against the ground and then starting the downswing ?
Whoa! That is a lot of thinking there!
See the “wood planing” video; stay with a simple task! See “golf is as simple as peeling carrots!” Video on youtube too!
Hi shawn
I am having trouble getting my boby to use the ground while finishing the backswing or do I use the ground before starting my downswing ?
When I see Rory swing hebuses the ground on the down swing to move his body out of the way as you memtion.
Please advise here
Still not getting the snyc of backswing amd ground amd weifht transeer while lagging the long iron.
See “the walking drill” and perform till the cows come home!😝
