Hi Shawn
One tendency i have a hard time fighting is over extending my arms in the down swing. Hard to explain but basically my arms are swinging out beyond the ball, which makes me have to compensate at the last minute to get the head back to the ball. This causes a hard draw, in to out path but but over closing the face.
Any pointers on getting the arms to fall closer to my body?
When you are standing over the ball, just before you swing, what are you focused on?
The flagstick or fairway or wherever I’m trying to send the ball. I just have a hard time with reaching out to far with my arms in the swing. I just watched another video about arms but still working on finding a drill for arms coming more down and not out. Kettle bell os helping but could use more direction.
Once the MLM2Pro comes out I’m planning on hitting you up for some online lessons. Just want to have something with data to present to you.
Hey Lance! Here are some important videos for some solid visuals:
-battering ram
-shawn’s new favourite drill
-Henryk Stenson Drill
-football drill series
that new MLM2 is impressive!
Great video as always. I have a question about the grip which I haven´t been able to figure out yet. I look at your videos and it seems as if the clubface is pointing in the direction you want the ball to start.(draw – a little bit open) Shall I first take the grip (normal grip closed face? or strong grip just a bit closed) and then aim the clubface in the direction I want the ball to start – never adjusting the grip afterwards – I´ve seen Horsel do that – but he is an exemption.
Usually I see players aim the clubface first and then take the grip.
I am confused where to start. Aim the clubface and then take the grip feels strange to me. I feel I have to manipulate to get the clubface closed (looks like I aming to the left) and then adjust the body (tilt) which will provide the strong grip (tiny open face look).
I usually stand behind the ball and chose my target and visualize ball flight – at that point I am also closing the face a bit (differ from club to club???) Then I align my body without changing the grip. I often think – is this the right way to do it? Not so good to have that thought coming into my mind at that point.
Hi Barbro! Sorry for the delay; I set this aside to make sure I got back to it…😀
IT IS NOT ABOUT AIMING THE CLUBFACE. This would be static thinking. The arm-club unit does not look at all the way it does through impact vs at address. So what we do is get a task such as whip through the stem of the dandelion into the direction you want the ball to start (like in the “grass whip training” video) and see how the ball flies. After you see a pattern, you can then make adjustments to close or open the face or make the grip stronger or a bit of both to suit the shot you want to hit.
see “draw fine tuning” and “fade fine tuning” first
then polish the release patterns of your anatomy with all the “release” videos
then polish fade and draw fine tuning again.
finally, see “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series” to apply these new predictions on your shot making sessions and on the golf course when you are not comfortable over your shots.
Thank you.
