Hi Paul;
Don’t know why I missed this one; you can see all the rates and packages in the “richmondhillgolf” website;

Sounds like you are manipulating the club instead of swinging the big unit; see the comment response of kenaOangin; and then see “Golf Pro Lesson golf swing medicine” “golf pro lesson momentum toss” part 1 and 2″ and “golf Pro lesson Takeaway and starting the swing”! Shawn

See if you can’t feel the swing as a “one unit swing from the shoulder sockets down to the club head; see “Golf Pro lesson Ball bearings and sockets” as well as the “Golf Pro lesson Nike Heavy Gloves” part 1 and 2; Shawn

Dude!! Very important question!! Very important answer here: Go to the “golf Pro Lesson Grip awareness” video; how firm would a tennis player’s grip be through impact with a power forehand or a boxer at impact with his fist? Your instincts are always right in this case! The grip pressure will firm up big time through impact as there is the equivalent of 1 TON OF PRESSURE WITH DRIVER AT 100 MPH PLUS!!! See my videos on grip too “Grip 2 wrist hinge” and “proper grip”…Shawn

Sorry; what is a white card? Handicap card like the green card in Europe? Shawn

Hey Shawn, great explanation of these down swing nuances. I’d like an additional clarification during the ’skip’ or ‘whip’ portion. I realize from your youtube and DVD that gravity and axes is directing the arms and club. But sometimes I feel like I contract the shoulder and arm muscles as you would using a sledge hammer during the ‘whip’ – as if trying to crash through hard. Other times I consciously relax my arms letting gravity right their path, but this seems less powerful. Any advice?

Yo shawn
I need som tips after the winter here in my country. What should i do if i want the white card?
May 2nd, 2010 at 4:59 am
Hey shawn, thx again for your great talent to explain golf in a easy manner.>>>>Ive been hiting the the ball very well at the range but i dont really make those long nice appearing divots. Is that ok>? or should i apply divots during practice?

Hi Shawn,
Is there any specific reason why you use the frisbee throw analogy solely for lefthanders ? I am a righthanded golfer (althought i can remember I wrote left in my first schoolyear, back in the fifty’s). I feel that my left arm is doing the job in the downswing (frisbee like). Any overemphasing of powering from my right arm leads to stray shots (mostly hooked, some pushed). I once tried a lh 8 iron on the driving range, but this felt very, very awkward
Thanks in advance.

Hey….you can do both a left handed/right handed
swing??!!
thats awesome…
I also like the sledge hammer comparison…
bruce lee would admire this advice!! j/k really…
thanks again!!

Shawn. I always use the skipping stone. But I found myself on the back swing tilting my right wrist on the back swing more right and really really opening that club face. I hit a couple shanks. When I placed the club down and opened it up a bunch wow does the hossle really get closer to the ball. My question is. Can opening the clubface a bunch on the back swing actually cause this?

Have a look at my “Golf Pro Lesson right or left?” video and it will give you some insight; I love swinging in both directions as you will see from many of my videos like in the “100 episode from Pinehurst” video…Thanks for the question and all the best! Shawn

Hey Shawn! love this video too!
Just a question…Who is the person sitting at the CRT behind you? Is that your kid? Did you tell him stay quiet while I do this video?
Thanks!

Thanks for the question!
This is a lot of positional thinking man! The swing is way too fast to be thinking this way; start be watching the perpetual motion drill video and then go to “Takeaway and starting the swing”, “arm motion”, “taut swing Philosophy” for the baseball comparison; also, keep in mind that the follow through will change depending on the shot (high, low, fade, draw), club lenth, lie (ball above and below feet, uphill and downhill) Your central nervous system does it all!

hi shawn.. i watch the recomended vids n tried out at range.. results are mostly good.. i can struck the ball more solidly.. all my irons are going high and with slight draw.. but i do realise they are travelling shorter.. normal 8 is 140yds, but its less thn 130 now.. y is it so..?? n i swear i’m striking the ball more solid than ever.. funny.. lol.. thanks..

Hey Shawn…say (for example) if I were to give you a thumbs up, that would be a 12:00 analogy. During the backswing, should my arm and wrist (and thumb)rotate backward to 9:00 and then rotate back to 12:00 on the downswing and on to 3:00 on the follow through? Or…should by arms stay at 12:00 in relation to my body and let my body turn the club? Thanks.

Thanks Shaun for this video. Being right hand dominant the stone skipping analogy works for me. I tried the frisbe motion with my left arm but it is but weaker than my right. The net result is I get poor results. However, when I have the short club in my hands for chipping and pitching the frisbe motion works very well.
Thanks again,
Rene
