My pre shot routine is the sword slash drill and it is what I think about as I step into the ball. Am I sabotaging my unstoppable momentum by consciously thinking about this
Heck no!! The machete is a heavy sword that cannot be stopped once in action! 😀👍
That’s my go to swing thought too. However, sometimes I focus so much on slashing with the right side that I can feel my left arm not “getting out of the way.” I really like the swing about the head picture of how the momentum turns over the hands/arms together.
I shot 77 today in terribly cold and windy conditions.
1. Get behind ball and pick flight plan.
2. picture slash of heavy sword to cut through dandelion stem on a path toward target.
I mishit about 4 shots in the round. All fat…all caused by allowing strain to creep in an effort to try and hit the ball. . .relaxed cut through the stem with unstoppable momentum. That’s the picture.
Great video Shawn.
…As you said Shawn, you have the club for the shot, you have the intermediate point, you have the distance to ball and path with Goldilocks . After that the real task is letting the swing momentum work. All the thoughts of..’ don’t go right, hit the ball, get over the trap, hit it harder’ ,..etc only create doubt and get the brain to sabotage the kinetic chain. Best tutorials. Best explanations as to how we work. The Golf Channel Academy could use such wisdom in their instruction. Nice…J.
See how awesome you understand this now?? I tell you man, I am still on the fence with your equipment; your shafts are too light on those cobras…you should go see the boys at TXG and just try out some irons and see what they recommend. I just tried the Callaway Epic Forged which is a monster; hit the 7 iron with easy swing at 210 yards consistently…my 4 iron is my 210 club…(I am staying with my blades still though…and yes, of course the lofts are beefed up to 27 degrees on the 7 iron but that packs quite the punch and the fun factor is wow…the new G-710 from Ping are spectacular too and Savy’s new irons are perfect where the Ping I blade stops at 7 iron and then she has 7 and 6 from G-710 and we just got her new shaft on the driver and yesterday afternoon in Phoenix, she drove the ball 305 and 315 respectively on 2 holes on the back nine…the shaft made a nice difference on that club for her and it’s because we were able to try them at Club Champion in January in Orlando.
Congratulations on making NBC Golf Academy – ‘unstoppable momentum’ guys!
Another great video for me – getting into the head space of ‘flow’.
Good stuff! We are getting into a whole new stratosphere because of the evolution away from positions and perfecting our tasks into our flight plans! So great to share this ride with you! 😀👍
I think this is the best explanation I’ve heard about finding that ‘green light’ feeling that I experience occasionally when the ball just goes boom. I know the feeling but sadly our relationship is intermittent and fleeting. I have never had a way to describe it and therefore duplicate it. Most of the time I know I just swing when the clock in my head says swing… hoping I’m doing enough things right that something good happens. I think I understand what feeling or idea to lock into now…. and it is genius! What I like so much about how you explain this is that the unstoppable momentum is out beyond the ball so not only will your brain organize your swing to get you out there, it takes away from attention “at” the ball. The feeling is out beyond the ball so for the most part the only job is to lock into the feeling and line it up to go in the right direction Seems to work in the garage with the whoosh sound but can’t wait to try this out at the range.
Can’t wait to hear about it! I have so many examples of shots we just executed on the course this week with Savy and I that validate massively all the aspects of this video;
It is a great time for golf! 😀👍
Excellent explanation and demonstration of how focusing on momentum puts “heft” into one’s shots.
Yeah man!
