Damn. You make it look easy. I’m going to try this out tomorrow on a couple hundred balls and see what happens!

Shawn Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Sir would it be possible to a snippet on how much divot to take with certain irons or at least say which club you are using at the time of your drills. TYVVM

Good point!
Here I am using a 7 iron; divot should be 1/4 inch deep and about 4 to 6 inches long…about 1/2 inch per club from there…shorter as clubs get longer…

Shawn. Bought your set of Videos. They have already helped me as I am just getting back into golf. Between Tennis and Work I just dont have enough time to work on your drills. And Adidas makes the best shoes I have ever worn. Barricades for Tennis and the Powerband for golf. The support is unreal.

excellent video just like the rest of them

would you recommend this on all shots onto the green using irons/wedges? or just wedges?

Shawn. In my opinion the bottom “apex” on an effortless golf swing follows your center of gravity. You swing up on the driver because your center of gravity is behing the ball since the ball is forward. Yout club comes down on the ball in your irons becuase your COG is infront of the ball when you make contact and all of this happens naturally.

If I cast too soon the weight of my swing is going into the ground and not toward the target and my COG gets stuck behind the ball.

All fine and dandy; well said! Although I find the vast majority of golfers who cast too soon do this mainly because they don’t know the feel yet and that the focus defaults to the ball because the instincts are distracted by a conscious mind trying to tell it what to do. Once the instincts or the cerebellum knows how THROUGH THE BALL FEELS, then the only conscious effort is to recall the feel to a specific target out to the fairway or the green; then the COG will be positioned properly…

All shots! Every shot from the fairway is DOWN AND THROUGH;
Thanks for the question! Shawn
