Hey Shawn - great stuff as always. I took your 3 swings and made a snapshot of the start and impact positions. You should see how many lines I've drawn comparing your head, shoulders, knees, hips, hands placement. There's a definite 'dropping' of your body at impact, but your contact is always clean. When I try to do this I seem to hit behind the ball by 6-10" or so. Do you get clean contact because of the weight shift? Is that what does it? It's the only thing I can think of. Thanks.

I did try the set-up that you recommended and it works just fine. I play an old-school, Composite Maple Ping driver, as I am re-discovering the game, and with this small adjustment, the club I was going to put to pasture came alive. I finally made correct contact (250-60 Yds.)! Thank you.

You could try a different driver; are you hitting it in the centre of the face? Shawn

Just answered under Freed 345 on top! Sorry for the wait! Shawn

Yes! Because it helps you maintain your tilt! Have a look at the Braced Tilt Part 2 video in the set up section of the "you tube Shawn" page of my website! Shawn

Good question and the answer is always on a spot that remains in place; so it may as well be the ball! :) It can also be a blade of grass behind the ball that you focus on whipping the club head through;if it is the club, this is no good because the club is going to move way too much and way too fast and will make you way too dizzy! :) Shawn

Great tip as always Shawn; quick question. Since the ball is forward of center and there are several inches between the the club face and back of ball, are your eyes on the back of the ball (your 'eye ball' video) or on the club face in this scenario? Thanks.

Does this technique help hit the ball more higher ? I seem to have a problem with hitting it low to the ground and it isn't a problem with the loft because I tried a 9.5 and a 12.0 and both had little changes.

Dear Shawn The tip works great. i used to slice it alot but now it is straight down the fairway. but it feels like i don´t have any power, the ball goes very high and somewere around 210" should I accellerate even more throu the ball or sould i try a driver with less loft "I have 10.5" thanks again for all your great videos, they are a real treat..
