Video

This feels so fake. What about this video is so brilliant that all the super positive comments talk about? We are just watching two people say they swing with 2/10 efforts and reach almost 300 yard carry? Sorry I call BS.

Hello my name is Devin,,, im an interlocker..

Hello Shawn, Could you please tell me what is the first videos I should watch to understand how your golf swing works? Thank you very much.

Great advice! Shawn and Savannah showing us how to let go and swing freely! Using Wisdom in golf instruction today I managed an effortless round of 78 at the tender age 70. My goal is to shoot my age. Thanks Coach! Cheers from Nova Scotia…MikeR.

It is the weirdest phenomenon. I can go to the range and swing at full speed and then swing at what feels about 70% and the ball will sometimes go further but usually equal distance around maybe 270m. Though it’s so hard mentally to swing easy 😂

This little thought just increased my driver swing speed from 92 to 106 MPH. I was not even trying to make the motion hard just loose and smooth. I look forward to trying it on a practice session this weekend.

Meant to add that your natural leg movement is so much more logical and easier to perform than some of the current teaching advocating rather violent pushing up against the ground with the lead leg on the downswing, like you see Justin Thomas do in videos, nearly leaping off the ground. It’s hard to try and keep the head and spine angle steady on the backswing, bracing the trail leg to avoid swaying, then suddenly making that explosive push up with the lead leg. Your swinging moves both ways, with the out of the way thought, is far easier and better for most of us. Thank you!!

I noticed your cap and head moving an inch or two higher on the backswing than at address, then down again in the downswing, then up again, and wondered. This video explains it perfectly. Like you say, golf is a lifelong learning experience, and with your great videos I am relearning the golf swing at age 83 after playing for over 62 years. Heartfelt thanks. P.S. I see quite a lot of agreement with the teaching of Dr Kwon, Director of the Biomechanics Department at Texas Womens University just outside of Dallas, Texas. He has the trigger move forward, then it’s push up with the trail leg on the backswing followed by push up with the lead leg in the downswing. It’s very encouraging to see this considerable agreement between great experts based on a solid understanding of the biomechanics of the anatomy. It would be really cool to see the two of you together in a seminar.

Love the channel but I really don't get how these effortless swings can go 300 yards. Something doesn't add up, and not just for me, to others I've shown it to as well. Not accusing, just looking for more clarification. I should also be clear that it's because I don't see any pro hit it like this . They put in a ton more effort and only get 20 to 30 yards more carry?

I am relatively new at golf I get the full back swing part but I am confused what is meant by throwing it in the follow through.

Hi Shawn excellent vid as per usual. A question regarding my personal problem. I'm a right handed golfer but have a medical condition called "drop foot" which means I have no flexion of my left foot. In layman's terms I cant stand on tip toe with my left foot or raise my heel. How do I manage my swing to take this into consideration? Sorry it was so long winded. Cheers.

Super important for me at 83 having played for 62 years, now working to change from a neutral grip with straight face and bowed left wrist to your neutral grip with closed face while avoiding the error you show of the wrong type of strong grip. Your emphasis on the anatomically correct movement and showing that wrists in that position may look cupped but are not is genius.

Wonderful as usual Shawn.. Just off to play now and keeping that brilliant smooth action locked in my head ….. hopefully😀 Thanks for everything

Great video. Thank you

Very Nice

I see Mu on the tee in background….

Hey Shawn, what does it mean if the tee peg goes sideways instead of jumping forward. I can't seem to get it to jump forward it always shoots off to the right. I'm right handed by the way

Great video Shawn. I have been letting my left heal off the turf in the backswing to get more turn. I see many of the greatest players used to do this but now don’t. What do you think? Keep it down?

I’m changing to left handed clubs. I think that is the secret

Hi Shawn, thank you for the "gravity thing". I'm stuck... Can't decide from which side to hit the golf ball. I'm right handed but bat from the left, so I thought that left was the best to go. Sometimes it feels better to swing (I can do it from both sides) from left and sometimes I'm completely "out of bounds". Should I trust my stronger trail arm (right) and play right or play from the left side and trust the stronger lead arm...? Confusing... I go back and forward and is now stuck... Best Bo

Great video and teacher, big fan. What would this be telling me if I'm hitting it straight and far with the feet together, but then it all falls apart with my normal driver stance?

Nice 👍🏻

Where exactly does your trail elbow point at the top of the backswing? And should one even care?

Closed is power.

Just turned 83, so super senior. Been playing for 62 years. Just discovered your videos and am working to swing like you show, mainly not focusing on keeping the left wrist bowed in flexion and right wrist bent back in extension at the top of the backswing. Plus changing from a neutral grip to a strong grip. Played a round today and it works. Obviously still have to practice and do the full turn and synchronize movements, but the results have been amazing. Makes the swing effortless and good contact almost automatic. Thank you.

Is there an explainer for those rectangles on the wall? I would love to learn more about this.

Only had time to play 9 holes yesterday with my Dad and brother! Shot par for the first time in my life using the blur of the club and Goldilocks practice swing methods. Thx Shawn! You’re the best golf instructor I’ve seen on CZcams! You make the game easier! Stop wasting time folks on all of the technical garbage that is out there and just do what Shawn teaches. He makes the game so much easier to learn and enjoyable. You will get better faster and shoot lower scores! Just do it! And I do belong to the Premium Website! $9/month guys and girls! Come on now .. it’s so inexpensive!

Hey Shawn, Your lead side looks great after you finish the swing where your pelvis is tilted back in the one leg drill. I have read that Tour players typically have a forward tilt of the pelvis between 20-30 degrees at setup which I see with you (like water in a bucket being dumped forward). At impact, this forward tilt levels out or even tilts backwards (like water being dumped backwards). Do you have any recommendations on pelvic tilt and also on the importance of engaging the core, side obliques, etc that would help protect the back?

Another fabulous video. Golfers you need to check out Wisdom in Golf for super video golf instruction.!!!!

hypedup

Hey, Frenchie. You might need to bigger pants. SMH!

Just match the slope with your stance.

SUPERB!!! BTW Shawn,,,,,what is/was the thinking with Sav's ultra strong grip,,,,especially with the top/right hand for her,,,,,thx much

Phil Mickelson believes in this technique he has said in some of his chipping videos putting the ball in the back of your stance

Total opposite of what ben hogan taught. You need to stay connected and you basically say the opposite lol

Says no professional golfer, i think ill listen to them. Btw you lift up on ur backswing lol

Fascinating. Am working to change my swing to follow your guides after 60 years of playing. Thank you.

Second all the favorable comments. Great advice.

Something isn't working here for me. The whole concept he's trying to teach is fair enough, but the numbers don't add up somewhere either on his end or on my end. I was at a simulator yesterday hitting with very similar numbers from club speed, ball speed, launch angle, spin, etc, but mine only carried 270 yards and total 288 yards. Maybe I need to get on a different launch monitor to see if its the one i was at, but... 295 yards carry with a smash factor of only 1.45 seems strange to me. Happy to be corrected though! I'm not saying he's lying, I'm just saying that ONE of our simulators might need to be recalibrated!

Is it me or is that insanely high tee?

Don't tell the secret service about the slope

I tried the change, hooked the ball, thinking I need to move the ball back in the stance a bit?

For most people, this is not a good set up at all. Yes, she can.. but 99 percent of pga tour players dont do this

Pure as Canadian snow - LOL. I love the WiG explanation of the golf swing. It makes a difficult game doable for the average person.

I've been watching your channel for years and I've always wondered about how steep your club looks at the top of the swing. So you are saying that the club doesn't necessarily have to stay on plane on the backswing because it will fall back on plane when it comes down? Obviously it is because I'm watching you do it. But you are not manipulating the club in any way to get it back on plane?? Thanks!

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

I’ve tried your stuff before but I had low point issues. Trying it again now because I love the concept, but here’s what I don’t get. You bounce around with the demonstrations, but then your actual swing it’s hard to see much of that. For me, I actually do bounce around with my swing, so I’m clearly over exaggerating your feels, but I need help understanding how to tone it down. I wind up hitting everything fat or thin because there’s so much up and down.

His swing looks amazing Shawn, great work my man! Very smooth, would like to see it with a ball in the way!

Here are the carry numbers at the bottom with 8 iron for our Student Greg who is up from Texas; his carry with 8 iron was 135-140 at the beginning of today. BLISS ON A STICK!! Success is INEVITABLE Had a great time time helping him improve his feel for the swing and unlock more of his potential! 😁💪
