Shawn, my question is this. When you told Kevin to lower his hands with his wedges, would that also apply to his mid irons and hybrids? Fairway woods? Thanks
Sorry I missed this one! The longer the club, the more outward the hands will go; we call it pre-deploying to where the G-forces will be taking the arm club unit!
You talk a lot about strain level when swinging. I can’t seem to get over wanting to hit the ball, what would be a good drill for this. Also being 70 years old how do you feel about a closed stance.
This pertains to what is going on just before you swing the club; see “pre-motor cortex” series of videos on premium as well as “great driver nugget” and “Diagonal stance series” for your closed stance! Also have a new senior series that came out during the holidays that you will enjoy tremendously; We got your back! 😀👍
Shawn, I’m curious if allowing the student to alternate actually throwing a club just before hitting the ball on the course would reinforce that great free sensation one feels. I feel like trying to remember that sensation while on the course is a challenge at first and leaves me with a fuzzy (at best) image of my task.
Sword slashes with lead arm-then trail arm-then both arms for a couple reps each will bring it back nicely for you before each shot! See how many practice swings the pros make, it’s a lot! As ling as you are done within 25 to 40 seconds…
I think I learned as much as Kevin by watching these videos. The concept that a power fade may be preferable to drawing for some players with the driver is possibly something you could discuss in your Driver series ( or did I miss it?)
I am slightly older and one year into playing golf and less have less mass than Kevin ( I am 78kg), but I have exactly the same issues as Kevin with the driver. I can shape my fairway wood well, but if I try to draw with the driver it is less than predictable. The push fade can happen without notice!
My neighbour is a club fitter so I will talk to him about extending my short irons too.
Thanks Shawn and Kevin.
Cheers,
Kym
Right on Kym! Many of my good playing students have a much more consistent fade on the tee because of our side vision-the position of the ball that is more forward than usual.
Just make sure you still have a nice strong grip so that they are compressed and power fades!!
This comment applies to Kevin Part 1 and ” getting Kevin lower ” . This was a very helpful reminder about need to get lower.
Practical concern however. Hitting off a mat vs. the playing field. If I put the club as low as I need to be, on the course , often , specially on less than perfect greens , which most of us I would think play on , the club has a tendency moving into the backswing from the initial address position , to get “snagged/caught/” .
And so , I have had to resort to hovering above that ideal “get lower club position” and then have to mentally remind myself to ” get low ” again when coming into impact zone .
Question : Is this the right approach ? Any thoughts on this ?
