i have told not to turn your hips too early watch simon holmes show you.

in fact the takeaway starts firstly in ball of your left foot to counter balance the pull of your left forefinger. most people over analyse but forget basics. 95% of people grip too tight. it should only attain 100% 6″ from impact. 12-20% is all that is needed to keep hold of the club on the upswing. muscles are connected and if 1 is overtight- so are the rest. concentrate on the feeling of restriction in your left stomach muscle (seratus anterior) and external obliques. know your body!!!!!

i,ll do a video and show you how easy the game is. if you havent got rhythm, forget it. give you a tip- EVERY shot you play for the next 6 months count from 10 to 0 at onset of swing ,with 0 striking the ball-practise until EVERYTHING you do after that becomes a habit. why? do you actually think that golf and tennis dont have players with mental illness. there are players out there with ADHD,compulsion disorders,and variants. thats why were better. enjoy your sanity. i HAVE TO PLAY GOLF.

arrogant!! yes i am. and that is what makes me better than you. in fact thats what makes champions, in golf and every other sport. i used to feel sorry for players but now i much prefer to play 2k a round per person. im not here to cuss people ,just explain things. 1 if you aint got aggression you wont find it in you to adapt. 2 if you dont spend at LEAST 5-6 hours per day to golf -training/fitness/flexibilitytechnique/strategy/recovery you wont adapt. 3 i trained people since 19. 38 now

you have a poor grasp of basic numbers and english durs6, go back to school. you really are one in a million: 1 arogant twat, among a million people who want to improve their game by listening to a great teacher….

nah . i play all the time and all i see is INFLEXIBILITY. you lot make me laugh . oh and yeah i earn good cash out ofcoaching and side betting. like 94,000,00 last year. not bad for a supposedly amateur. maybe im just 1 in a million. and just for fact this guy is pants. aint got a stomach muscle in him..

Either or! The key is to feel the weight of the arm club unit at address and feel like you are going to use this weight to compress through the ball to the target! Shawn

at address should the clubhead be just sitting there on the ground or do you hold it lighlty on the ground?

See “golf pro lesson golf swing medicine” then “golf pro lesson momentum toss” part 1 and 2 and finally “Golf Pro lesson perpetual motion drill”; very important subject!!! Thanks for your question! Shawn

Hey Jamison; I was doing what your father in law is doing about 15 years ago…:) I found this much more efficient and this is what they were teaching until the era of video analysis where teachers started giving their opinions as to how to swing the club but they did so without looking under the hood! (anatomy, physiology, neurology) See “Golf Pro lesson learn your golf machine” and it will clear certain things up for you; Thanks for your comment! Shawn

MmmMmm Tim Hortons…

Hey shawn im a bit confused. My father in law is a scratch golfer and is currently trying for the pga senior tour, and he told me the take away starts with the arms and shoulders and then that forces you around. That you are not supposed to let your left side turn much that the only reason it turns is because your lower body resists the upper body turning. I like what you have to say but just a bit confused. Which one is right? Thanks so much for the help. Your videos are awesom. Just supscribe

watch his tempo video he talks about it

Shawn, I’ve noticed every single time you hit the ball, you do something with your right knee, why is that? does that help you with your backswing? you move your right knee to your left before you take away the ball

I’ll believe those numbers when I see them. I bet your short game *****. I’m guessing you can throw a 98 mph fastball, and throw a football 80 yards with full pads on.

There isn’t a better instructor online, period. Def. not one that offers this much GREAT information for free.

man i dont even play and still hit 300+ dead straight and no worries. ALL THE PROBLEMS IN GOLF START IN YOUR HEAD. damm if you cant play with wrist break and a twist fro the hips (not the top half) then sort out flexibility. i also hit a tennis serve 121 mph. it aint hard fellas — unless your born cack handed. like this fella…

Another awesome video, looks very smooth, and comfortable! I’m gonna give this a try!

It looks a damn good takeaway to me, well connected, no manipulation of the hands or wrists and everything bang in front of him as it was at address. As for casting, I can take the club outside, inside or zig zag between the two whilst doing a little pixie dance all the way up to the top , it doesn’t mean i will cast it on the way down. This is such a simple, efficient and natural way of swinging a club and you dont need the strength and suppleness or a tour pro to use it. Great stuff Shawn.

so are you saying its fine to have the club that far inside the swing plane at the start of the backswing? this would more often than not result in them casting the club on an out to in line. if i was one of the 71 students being taught this i would not be happy.

I like the idea of ‘catching the next swing’ as it creates a sense of rhythm and can counteract tension, which is a killer. However i don’t like the idea of ‘a little nudge forward’ to start the momentum of the swing. I think a lot of golfers, including myself (5 handicap), fight the problem of forward movement at the start of the backswing - resulting in too much weight in the left leg and difficulties completing a proper transference of weight to the right side.

he’s probably a fine player, better than other instructors. im just wondering why he doesn’t do what he says

excuse me but are you in charge of a golf course? do you teach people the game? if you don’t, your honestly not in a position to talk. especially over the internet.

watched em’ all pro. no mention why you’re close to a good plane at 1:20-1:30, but when you make a fuller swinger you get so vertical your hands wrap around your head. seems like you talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk

You mean the left arm? Yes, very important and you can see my “golf pro lesson arm motion” and “golf pro lesson left arm straight?” for that one;
Thanks for the question and kind words! Shawn
