Excellent!swing to a target
Please for the fade shoulder and feet left of the target or Just the left
foot??
Hi Shawn, always as interesting ! i follow you from france and i think i’ve
seen at least 50 times certain of your videos !!!
i very much like the way you learn that golf swing, and it’s funny to see
other videos on the web saying not to turn the hips , or the inverted
backswing etc…a thing i’d like to have your opinion about club face or
the club path giving the start of the ball trajectory, cause lots of
videos exist on this, and here is on of my favorite :

thanks for all and please never stoop !!! :)?
The best yet – now how about an analysis of Moe Norman??
Shawn. Would love to hear your viewpoint on = Dustin Johnsons phenomenal
play after a layoff of at least 6 months. Compared to Tigers!!!
Dustin stopped playing tournament golf before the 2014 FedEx playoffs
started. As we can all see. He’s tournament ready.
As a student of biomechanics it’s obvious to me that Tiger continues to
attempt to manufacture a swing that is not congruent with what his body
wants to do and is capable of doing. As long as he fights his body by
attempting to conform to a swing that doesn’t fit his body he’s going to
keep injuring himself.
Comments!?
Hi Shawn. While this is going over much of what your other videos teach I
never get tired of the message. They act as a great reminder of what golf
is actually all about. I am getting to the stage where I know what my
thoughts were at the exact point of impact on good and poor shots. The
biggest plus of this way of thinking is how bad shots can be easily sent to
the dustbin and get on with a new positive picture for the next shot. Keep
up the great work and thank you for the hard work you put in.?
Shawn how would you do this when you are hitting a driver? Do you choose
your landing area? When I hit my driver, I just try to hit it straight, I
try to have a target, but the target is way off in the distance. Its not
where its going to land…?
Well said Shawn. I play several golf courses where there are no yardage
markers whatsoever on the golf course. I don’t own a yardage laser or GPS
device. I think of your videos when I’m looking at the target before I hit
a shot. Swing to the target and not at the ball. As usual another great
video thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us.?
Really great video Shawn. Hogan was like a hawk!?
This is interesting. I really enjoyed the video about turning going back
instead of pulling from the front. Very innovative! Regarding Hogan, who in
my opinion is the greatest of all time based on his mental ability. Surely
no one else could suffer such an injury and follow it with winning a major
across the world in their first visit in such a time. Granted many of the
legends did not have to compete against European and South African players
etc, and the popularity of the game was less. Still Hogan is in his own
league.
I do not think Hogan swung to the target. I think his accuracy was so great
that he needed specific targets, but it was his focus on the swing itself
that caused this. Target approach to the game was the way at that time, as
you detailed caddies standing in the range. Of all the players then I would
posit Hogan was the LEAST target oriented. Many players since Hogan
describe picking a miniscule target on the ground as positive imagery.
Hogan picking targets in the sky seems to confirm a swingers approach. I’ve
read that Hogan spent hours in hotel rooms before tournaments, rehearsing
and perfecting every inch of his swing. This is what made him so great, he
knew and felt every position in his swing and could write a book on every
one. He did not have high speed recording and playback. But
Hogan had the most powerful feel in his mind, so in a sense he had as much
feedback as most pros achieve today with a camera. Don’t get me wrong he
wasn’t superhuman, I’m sure he constantly used mirrors. Hogan and Moe
Norman are the stand out golfers in having identical swings with all clubs
and all shots. This was allowed more then by not having 400cc drivers and
three inch tees of course. I am fairly certain Hogan thought more of the
swing than the target in comparison to his opponents. He did not work the
ball, he fought a hook in his early days, and at his peak his a slight push
fade on every single shot he hit. If we used his equipment, we would
quickly find a push fade would be the most efficient shot.?
Someone mentioned a Moe Norman analysis. I’ve watched pretty much every
YouTube video related to Moe.
There’s one thing that really stands out. He Never, ever takes a practice
swing.
And if you do a slow motion analysis of a particular video you see that
ever single swing in that particular video is exactly the same.
Moe was a golf swing savant. ?
Ok… so what IS the difference between a fade release and a draw release??
Great video as always, Shawn. One of my favorite Hogan stories is that one
day while hitting to his caddy, the caddy lost the ball in the sun and it
hit him and knocked him down. Apparently Hogan hit him twice more before he
could get back up. Sounds mean, and maybe not true, but a good testament to
the Hawk’s deadly accuracy!?
45yearoldbear, black and pampered,well ok then. lol there were clubs he
couldn’t play. Think about it. he wasn’t always rich! you people?
Awesome Shawn!!?
Shawn. Found this golf instructor from Calgary. Seems pretty much identical
to what you share. So cool!

Today I played a round with a young man who was obviously defaulting to the
ball.
I asked him if he’d played baseball. He said yes. I said if you were
pitching what would your target be. It took a moment but he responded. The
catchers mitt. I said how about a tennis serve. What’s your target. He got
the idea and stopped hitting those banana slices.
It also helped me. As I started getting more specific about my target.
Instead of picking a tree in the distance I picked a branch of that tree.
Didn’t always work but it did improve my overall ball striking.
Oh. Been having a lot of trouble from 100 on in. Decided to use feet
together drill as my actual shot. Worked really well. ?
Love it Shawn! Hit it there, or else! I need to think that way.?
