I too am predicting a win for Scottie. Tune in this time next week for my RBC pick.

I started golf very recently and naturally took an extremely upright swing due to lower back problems. Keeps torque off my lower back and helps me feel like I'm behind the ball.

[miketom]

I would love to have a repeatable upright swing but has never worked for me. I am a flat swing. Staying closer to the hitting plane during the swing always made more sense to me, aka, David Duval, Jeff Maggart, Ben Hogan.

Shawn; I’ve been playing golf since I was 12. Was scratch in college, a 4 in 1996 and quit the game in 2000. Was too busy to practice. Fast forward to NOW, took the game up again in 2017 in and forgot more than I ever knew, but thanks to you and a few other coaches, I now believe I know more about the game than I ever did when I played my best golf.
Have been floundering for 5 years trying to take my range play out to the course. Never could until I subscribed to your channel and embraced your conceptual (metaphysical) approach to the game. It’s spot on of course and is LIBERATING to forget about the damn positions!
I shot 82 Monday, 78 on Tuesday and 75 Thursday with FOUR 3-putt greens. 2 birdies in that round so imagine if I’d putted well. My ONLY swing key today is to remain relaxed as I swing the club, turning my back to the target. And on the way down, I no longer THINK AT ALL about hips or anything EXCEPT for “cutting the dandelion stem” as I swing out toward the target. That’s truly all we need. Give the brain a command telling them body WHERE to be at impact and just swing and the brain will handle it, ,, as long as we don’t allow ourselves to get in the way of the main task! You’re the best!

I used to have trouble sleeping until I found this channel. I lost the point of the video and the super strong left hand setup is perplexing. Try making some shorts or set a timer for 5:00 as a challenge.

[sambailey]

Loved the video, awesome thank you for putting the effort into putting it together! Throw those grass clippings!

[davidkim]

What I really noticed was the free wheeling swing of Rory McElroy in that final round.

[aldohernandezcocina]

Shawn, please, make a video about low wedge shot!

[joeldriver]

Sheffler's swing at the top has his hands really high and is pointing right at the target in a perfect position, similar to Bubba Watson even though they both take it pretty upright to get there. It's easier to come down into the slot from there because you don't have to manipulate the club hardly at all to do that. There's not much hand manipulation going through the ball when you watch him so it's easy to hit it pretty straight and he pretty much never misses it left which is death for a right handed golfer. I'll be interested to see how long he can play at this level.

[theshepherdoffat]

watching this a month after the big win @ the masters..nice prediction

[jaycalli]

I'm 5'11" with a +5 wingspan. I like to look at his swing even though I believe he is a bit taller than Me. He has similar proportions.

[proo]

Hey, Shawn. Is the feeling/sensation of ‘throwing’ your club through the ball a good concept to have in your head? All the best to you and your team.

[jmack]

Hi from East Canada . When you hit the power fade, it looks like the ball had a different spin ? Thank you happy Estérel.

[scribnick]

Hey Shawn, my irons are playing like never before when I use your nail in a doorframe task! I hit a power fade every time. If I’m trying to hit a draw, should I feel like my back stays facing the target slight longer than when I hit a fade? I saw a comment on a different video of yours from someone and was wondering if this is a good feel to try and work in. Thanks as always for your awesome teaching. You’re the best out there by a long shot.

Did you see the drive Cam Champ hit on #2 on Saturday morning? 384 yards

[davidpearson]

I hope your were supporting Corey Conners very consistent at the masters over the last few years

[stashuk]

All these guys show off their distance, accuracy and shaping in front of a screen, but where are they on the Korn Ferry tour?

[jamiesloan]

I wanna say that your extremely cupped left wrist(at the top) is a good match for your extremely strong grip. Same as the bowed left wrist matches up to the weaker grip(Jon Rahm). I can only think of one player that uses the bowed left wrist, WITH a strong grip. DJ. His insane hip rotation, with his insane amount of right side bend allows him to do this. However, this is not recommended for mere mortals. lol

[larrylasik]

i am going to be 91 this month and never found anything easier than going from rotary to the upwright swing. wrote to Flick and Toskie and never got an answer why they abandoned it. If you cant do it, try bowling---you wont lose as many balls!!!

[p-Claud]

I found myself drifting too flat again the past couple of years and am trying to be more upright again.
