Hi Shawn, thank you for all the work you do helping us play better. I was wondering if you could talk about Kyle Berkshire in one of your upcoming videos and why he hits it so far?
Mark
We could do a little somethin on youtube!
Great
Got it right here BTW! FOUND IT!

I knew I had done one! 😝😝
Lol Shawn, I’ve actually seen it and totally forgot. 😁 Thanks for finding it 👍. Kyle has a on course vlog where he plays and comments on it. Maybe you can do a part 2 😉
Isn’t Sav’s strike seriously low on the club face? GC seems to show them completely at the bottom, so quite thin…
Depends on the markers position on the club; sometimes it may look low but it’s not. That could have been a thin shot yes, but she always goes back to the prediction process for the next shot and does not try to fix it.
Hi Shawn, In the back swing when you turn do you feel any kind of stretch in your upper body? I have been turning hips and shoulders together but I notice I feel a better swing if I allow a little stretch in my upper body. I’m not talking about anything intense, just a mild stretch. I also feel it helps me to actually bring in that squat better. I see that in the swings for all three of you that your shoulders are turned more than the hips as well.
Well, it sounds like you are feeling what you need to; however, stay away from perceptions of what the body is doing and just feel that you are in a nice position to throw the club with ease and a nice velocity in the direction you want to start the ball.

I hope all is well with you and your family and everyone is safe
I’m finally back on the course after shutdown. We had a lesson right outside of Trenton NJ about a year ago and I have finally begun to play golf more to my abilities. We worked on a lot but the one thing that sticks out in my mind is when using my irons. We worked on using the ground to start my swing and use the ground to release in the direction of the target. We also were using a bit of an open stance and we were working on a sand bag like toss and trying to get me to think I was throwing a screwball with my right dominate hand. We also worked on pushing my hands out away from my body and trying to hit a screwball fade. Prior to seeing you I kept on toping the ball or hitting strong hooks. Since our lesson, I was playing to scores in the high 80’s when prior I had a hard time breaking 100. I can’t remember some of the drills I could use to help me with this motion. Can you please lead me in the right direction so I can continue to work on this. I have played about 3 times since Golf courses reopened. I am hitting my driver better than ever. Consistent and longer than ever. With my irons I’m having a problem figuring out how open my stance should be and how I can get my swing in the correct spot. I feel like I’m releasing at my target however I’m topping a lot of my iron shots. Could I be to far away, could I be not releasing towards my target. I’m not really sure. I do know that when I hit my irons good they are better than I have ever hit them.
Lastly, since we changed my stance to a more open stance I’m having a hard time chipping the ball. I was wondering if you can direct me towards a chipping video that may help. Perhaps I shouldn’t have an open stance chipping.
Thank you
Rick Sciulla
Hey Rick! Great feedback!
Chipping with feet together is very effective; ball outside the back foot for positioning.
As for irons; the key is to be able to make a prediction for contact!
See “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” then see “pre motor cortex series”
So, you have a task, you throw the release in the direction you want to start the ball and you need to be very familiar with this feel! See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning”
Then predict the dandelion stem is in the way of this release and then stay with the feel of that release past the ball!
I am a dominant left handed person playing golf as a right hand player. Will the exercises
improve my ability to compress the ball any better??
You bet Richard! The release is what prevents the ball from sliding off the end of the face and therefore get compressed by obligation! 😀👍
