I do the same thing but I learned it from Wisdom In Golf 😂. I think the kettle bell drill was my Haha moment

Omg sav looks great

Love this, I shift weight forward to my lead side…then use that momentum to push of and throw the club into my backswing before catching it and throwing it towards my target

Nice! That is a great description! Where did you learn to do that?😀👍

I think it’s something I learned coming from cricket! Always did a forward press when batting, it helped me lots in the swing and allowed me to stay as athletic as possible 🎉

I always had a trigger movement pre delivery to help me get moving…that combined with watching your videos for 5 years 😂 lead me to find what worked for me. Just allows me to turn golf the golf swing into something reactionary ❤

I found a very interesting observation by myself. Bad swings, if the shoulders are somehow stiff, mostly a shorter fly and bad feeling swing. Then I command myself to relax. The shoulders and the arms and the club feeling like lowering 1-2 cm. Means, tension disappears, everything is a little more hanging down. Relaxing the arms, they are getting ‚ longer‘. If so, most times the result is much better. I often wonder, what, that far, I did nothing, just let it go. I am vintage 1962 and still can perform 110-115 mph.

We have a series on our premium channel called the “pre-motor cortex series” which shows how having the right task and the right feel to execute the task BEFORE you take the swing makes a massive difference. Example: See the ball and hit the ball hard (ouch) vs Use the weight of the arm-club unit and gather some nice momentum to whip through the ball with velocity and ease.

I start the swing by moving the club at the ball before taking it back. That's how I get the tension out and let the club track on it's natural arc.

Hey Shawn, do you still have the WIG forum? I ask bc I haven’t been on it in a minute and I want others out there to know about it if you do. It use to be the best resource available for those wanting to follow Shawn’s instruction beyond KZread. You were surrounded by Shawn’s students and it paid dividends for me personally, before being able to meet Shawn and have some private lessons.

We have temporarily stopped the forum and working on a much better AI powered one now! Stay tuned!

Long winded comment / question here Shawn but…, Pushing into the ground makes you heavier. Then the energy rushes through the kinetic chain all the way to the club head. This causes the arms to levitate up the rib cage. As the club head is levitating. This action / reaction phase also brings your head up w it, and you’ll be “higher” at the top of the backswing. From here we want to push back down into the ground with as much force as possible. This will be the down phase. We are at our heaviest at this point and the club has essentially released its kinetic energy back into our bodies and into the ground. From this point we almost can’t stop the momentum created by this kinetic chain and the energy will bounce back from the ground through our kinetic chain out into the club head. This will create so much momentum that the club will release and peak speed will end up happening after impact unless played way outside the front foot. Is this correct? Push down, ground pushes energy back through us into the club head for backswing. Same for downswing. The “release” is just the energy hitting peak velocity at the club head portion of the kinetic chain?

Very solid description! The down also collects the ball from where it lies and the release delivers it into the direction you want to start the ball beyond the intermediate point! Well done! 😀👍💪🫶👌

@@golflessons totally makes sense. I tend to forget the push down to start the backswing feel. My tasks end up being a bit too armsy. Do you have a favorite task that really super charges the legs to initiate the swing? Thanks as always for your responses! - Matt in NH

I’m curious what Sav and Mu’s handicaps are. There’s golf swing on the range and then there’s golf. I find the hardest thing is bringing the range swing to the course.

Sav has a 1.3 index, she breaks 80 from the back tees at 6900 yards regularly; Mu is now a solid 6 and closing in on mid 70’s scores!
