Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the video! How do you avoid the hands being ‘flippy’ through impact?
Maybe it’s my “make-sure-i-hit-ball-square” mindset doing the processing – but if I release it that much – won’t it be prone to timing issues?
Thanks!
Hey Sandy! No, not when you have a target (Flight plan and a direction you want to start the ball); see “throwing the club” video; your brain know when to let go when you have a target in mind; if no target, it can go anywhere because you are attacking the ball only; and the ball is a sphere that can be attacked by an infinity of directions and angles of attack (like if we were standing in a round room and I tell you to go stand in the corner)
I repeat again; you are not defective and there is nothing to prevent against. There is just you and a target.
Hey Shawn, thanks for recommending these videos. One thing that struck me was when you held the club straight out at the camera and it looked like the face was shut (7min 27 sec point). You then set it down behind the ball and got your shoulders and arms into a loaded position which then squared the face (looked like your right shoulder dropped lower than left). Are your shoulders slightly closed in this position which then promotes your natural draw. I just worked on the same thing in the house (didn’t hit any balls of course being in the house!) but it did feel like a very solid set up but my shoulders felt quite closed. However, it felt pretty solid. What are your thoughts?
Always match up what you are doing at address to the flight plan of the ball; don’t just copy positions; they have to have a purpose!
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the video! How do you avoid being ‘flippy’ through impact?
Thanks!
Shawn your videos are great — so clear and so helpful! I found this one terrific but I was confused about the section about the closed face. Do you really close the face that much as you take your grip? Sorry if this is obvious to others. Thanks for wonderful teaching! Chrid
Hi Chris! Do you have issues missing shots to the right? This is the question I ask because most will say yes and most will cure the direction when they close the face the amount I talk about; it seems like a lot; but when you look in the mirror or take a picture from the front you will see that it is not. If you start to hook the ball, and you can confirm that you had released the swing well past the ball, then it would be too closed.

There was another video where you showed the proper trail hand release. You were swinging the club one handed to show the proper release with the trail side arm. Can’t find that video. It showed me how much power I have taken out of my swing from being told I needed to be lead side dominant. I want to see it again to get that right trail hand snap. Thank you
Hmmm; could be Grip and arm motion or Hammer drill or in the “off season training” in “sword drill”
Youtube it would be “fencing for power”
Hi Shawn, just wanted to leave a comment about how happy my son was today. So he just finished his jr golf tournaments for the summer. This year he had to start from the ladies tees and play 9 holes . He started out in the 60s. I’ve given him some tips I’ve learned from watching Alex Fortey and he dropped to the low 50s. Today he played your setup , braced , club closed and tilted.
We played 9 holes and he shot a 47. I can’t tell you how happy he was watching his strokes drop. Thanks for all you do!
Awesome! Tell him congrats from me for the benchmark and congrats to both of you for the great team work; this is what golf is all about and to have a part in your success is so fantastic; great team work and look forward to breaking 40!
Shawn
