Hi Shawn, can you clarify something for me? What should be my focus when i set up to the ball? Should it be the feel of the release of a certain task that i pick to the intermediate point? How can i focus on mile markers in the backswing and still be focused on the feel of the release through the intermediate point?
Either one is fine as long as you are able to switch to the release through and all the way to finish after confirming mile marker of top of backswing;
If thinking of the backswing has you defaulting to the ball, then no deal.
G’day Shawn. Can you clarify a point I continue to hear on WIG and that’s to do with the release.
I’ve think I’ve heard you say, release into your target, release in the direction you want the ball to go and release in the direction you want the ball to start. I’ve had problems pulling the ball and I’m starting to think I should be releasing in the direction I want the ball to start not at the target. Cheers….
Exactly!! See “throw the club straight shawn clement” and “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement” and the working the ball videos on premium;
THE INTERMEDIATE POINT YOU TAKE ONLY ONE FOOT OR LESS IN FRONT OF THE BALL, is to be used to guide your release, or snap that you are letting the weight of the club perform for you.
The “TARGET” is the “FLIGHT PLAN” of the ball that starts where you want it to, then curves to the side and up to peak at the height you want it to, then falls and lands where you want it to and then rolls to the end point. FULL PICTURE. Practice this on the range:
1-pick an “end target” or a place you want to have the ball end up
2-pick a flight plan that fits your ability to get the ball there
3-find an intermediate point that will set you up into that picture-so that when you let the weight of the club release you to the target, you can predict that the ball position, the distance to the ball, the posture, and the grip-club face relationship will fit the flight when you let the club track itself into the direction you want to start the ball.

4-set up done? Prediction of shot done? It is now OUT of YOUR CONTROL, just give control to gravity and let the weight of the ACU release itself in the direction you want to start the ball. Look for the feel of that low effort and nice whipping velocity that unleashes that ball into that flight with freedom and abandon!
5-DID YOU LET IT? DID you stay with the feel of that release to that direction? Or did you get distracted by “making sure” of a position or something else making noise around you?
If you stayed with it: how was the direction? how was the contact? How was the balance? How was the strain level?
If you did not stay with it, something short circuited you and you were trying to do something else; what was that you were trying? What were your concerns?
6-The most important stat in golf is how many times (there are average 36 full swings on the golf course) were you able to stay with your shot all the way to the finish? Can You CONFIRM WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT YOU felt the release of the club in the direction you wanted to start the ball?
I enjoyed your section number five. I would suggest to improve our learning you do a better close-up to show what you are teaching the student. You did a great job with instruction concerning the grip and the fingers but we did not Learn as much because it was too distant Ross to see Well.
Great feedback! Thank you and will keep this in mind for our next one; we have another student lesson on deck with one of my MD students; so the one after will need to be more close up!
Correction: Part4.
Part5: 9:00 min mark:
For fade, are we talking about changing our swing to hit a fade ?
Not change the swing, no; we want to match the set up to the picture and then release the swing fully in the direction you want to start the ball; because the club is less closed, the ball position is forward of centre, there is no need to change the swing;
Let the momentum flow, don’t try to make the swing do anything.
Thank you Shawn.
I am sorry, I missed your response 9 days ago. Setting up notifications when you reply to your members is critical – email alert. Like Youtube.
Fade is given me issues like many. Open stance for fade and diagonal or natural stance for draw (I love Diagonal stance).
Please give us some pointers on how you line to the target.
DRAW: So I line up with the flag, GET BEHIND THE BALL and release the club somewhere right. Ball is drawing, I don’t know what is normal draw versus hook. 2 yards – 10 yards draw also how wind affect my draw.
I can fade or even slice if I open my club just a touch or even keep it square.
Will be sending you a video for your analysis – Cant wait to hear your thoughts.
