Hi Shawn, would you say the hammer represent short irons swing with the more up and down?
If so, is there another tool to use for practicing the driver swing that is more flat?
See the “throwing series” which is perfect for all length of clubs! 😀👍
hi Shawn, the arms in my backswing have never gone further than the point where you throw your club in this clip. Maybe i m too stiff or something else. I can make it further , with the arms parallel to the target line but then i have to bow my arms , it feels uncomfortable so my question is if it is important to get this position at the top . I m 62 years old , but still eager to learn the things that are important. Second question: What is the advantage of this position. Note: I finish my backswing concerning the turn, as you always keep on telling . Thx. Ernst
Hi Ernst! The key to the backswing is to have enough to be able to WHIP EASILY through the ball and towards the target! See the latest off season training and I believe it is in the # 4 or 5 where we do backswing focus where we do VERY SLOW-VERY RELEAXED-VERY BIG TURN-VERY WIDE ARMS and stop at the top. Then ask yourself, will it be easy to throw the club to the target with a whipping action from there?
Hey Shawn! Just joined your premium site after following your YouTube for a while. I struggle with an upper body dominant swing that is generally more ‘at’ the ball than ‘through’ it. Your concepts of throwing the club, momentum towards target, etc make a ton of sense conceptually, but I’m having some mental difficulty getting my body to trust it and still not go right at the ball. My practice swings usually look different (ie better) than with a ball. Do you have any suggestions or drills for helping make this connection? Thanks!
Hey Garrett! Yes, please get to the “throwing the club” video and the “throwing series”-then you go to “predict contact” and “the goldie-locks series” and this will open things up for you.
to get deeper into it, see “pre-motor cortex series” and “target confirmation series” and then jump into our first “off season training series”
This will get you to the next level big time; then get back to me with any questions or concerns! 👍😀
Thanks Shawn, appreciate the quick reply. I’ll give these a watch!
Hi Shawn,
I use to do a «throwing the club» session before doing a practice session as a warming up.
I have a question about what the trajectory : when I throw it, it doesn’t go up to the target on a curve. The release of the club is in direction of the target, but downwards, so that it gets to the ground at about 5 to 10 meters from me. I wonder if it could show that there is something that I’m not doing the right way. Maybe not focusing enough to the target ?
Another question : if the throwing of the club is naturally a bit on the left could it be related to a natural fade ball flight ?
Thanks,
Pierre
See “club speed” video and watch how much fun it is to throw on different heights! 😀👍
Then see “the throwing series” from short stop throwing to javelin and football throwing to hammer throwing!
When I throw the club, I feel like I am continuing ‘around the circle’ with the handle, pass the ball and up. Sort of like your battering ram drill, but the motion continues up in order to get release towards the throwing target. Does that make sense? It’s slightly different than the scraping the ground hockey motion, so I’m a bit confused.
That sounds like the Right feel and description; even when the ball is there, you still feel the peak speed past the ball?
