So glad you are doing this. There is a learning hazard when you try something new, improve on skills or make a small correction. It is our human tendency to focus on the tiny change and then FORGET to do all or some of the big things that were making the swing successful. It is too easy to get derailed. A checklist of the ‘biggies’ is a real good idea.
Throwing the clubs and the subsequent thought of throwing when hitting through the ball has totally changed my game. Very grateful for you instruction, your analogies and passion for the game. Love your work Shawn.
Thanks Craig! 😀👍
Love the sledgehammer or lumberjack drill. You know right away if you’re using too much effort and manipulating or just swinging and letting it go. it was really eye opening for me the first few times i tried it.
Yess! Love it big time! Hard to mess that one up!

The task of peeling the carrot , does the start of the peel start where the dandelion stem is ?
Hi Philip! Yes! The stem of the dandelion is in the centre of the ball; so you will always catch ball first when you make the proper prediction based on sending the carrot peel to the target with a nice whip! See “predict contact” video on premium.
Shawn have you ever had a student visualize cutting through the grass on the front side of the ball? I was having trouble as I was consistently hitting the big green ball before the small white one even though I was focusing on cutting the grass, peeling the carrot or squeezing through the door frame just behind the ball. For some reason shifting my focus on sending a peel of grass from just in front of the ball took the ball out of the back of my mind while thinking throwing the club to the target. By focusing on the sliver of grass in front of the ball it made me achieve flush contact much more consistently. Any thoughts on why that might be?
Also, have you ever had somebody achieve a better result with lag and release by thinking throw the hands at the target? This picture seemed to help me get the result easier for some reason. I was beginning to think I was defective until I modified my focus just a bit on the tasks. Just wondering if you find others that don’t get it right away and maybe have to modify the tasks to meet their individual mental picture. I sure enjoy watching your work. Many thanks for putting it on the shelf so folks like me can reach it!

Hi Shawn, I struggle a bit on determining a “task” for the woods and the driver.
Peel carrots with fairway woods and peel the tip of the tee off towards the target with the driver!
