    Hey Paul;
    I understand completely and the key here is to feel that when you grip the club, that you now have a complete ARM-CLUB UNIT that hangs from the shoulder sockets; see “golf pro lesson grip awareness” and “golf pro lesson takeaway and starting the swing” this is exactly how the Great Payne Stewart did it; feel how when the right arm folds, it causes the wrists to hinge and that the arm unit LOADS UP LIKE A SLING SHOT! Shawn

    Thanks Shawn! I love your enthusiasm for teaching the golf swing. I work in a golf shop and when I meet beginners or people wanting help with their swing…I try to pass on some of your analogies and recommend they watch your videos on youtube…I think much of what you are teaching is sound advise.

    Hi Shawn
    I am the proud owner of your dvd,s but i am looking for some extra help in getting my right arm working, i play right handed but i am a left hander , sometimes i feel the right arm is just along for the ride, its robbing me of power. on wet day or slighty thicker grass i dont have the power to get through as i would like.
    I find if i really focus on my right arm i get the nice compression sound from the ball but i need something to get the right arm in the game.
    Many thanks Paul

    Hey tshoey22! A …
    Hey tshoey22! A complete backswing IS NOT A PARALLEL TO THE GROUND thing; a complete backswing means you FEEL THAT YOU CAN WHIP THE SNOT OUT OF THE CLUB WITHOUT USING MUCH EFFORT AND IS RELATED TO HOW MUCH TURN YOU HAVE IN THE WHOLE BODY. If you feel the need to push, help or shove the club through impact, then you are short of completing it; see also “golf pro lesson downswing weightshift”; Great post! Shawn

    Shawn,
    how do you know when you have finished your backswing? I feel if I rely on gravity and momentum only in my backswing, i don’t feel like a make a complete back swing..it only feels like a 3/4 backswing if that..and in your demonstrations it does not look as though you make a complete back swing either but a 3/4 or less backswing…should there be consciuos effort to turn the shoulders a littlef arther to complete your backswing? otherwise i lkie your teaching style

    Better than that Stephen; go to my “Golf Pro Lesson Perpetual Motion drill” and FEEL where the wrists hinge and unhinge when you COMPLETELY GIVE THE ARM-CLUB UNIT TO GRAVITY! Thanks for the question! Shawn

    Hi Shawn just a quick question. How far into your backswing should your wrists be fully hinged and is there one particular video that describes it? Many thanks

    Does the right hand turn over the left just after impact or thru? Also, how much should it turn over? Obviously not overdone :) But is there a point you should checking? Sometimes I dont turn it over enough but I dont want to slap thru the ball either.

    Hey Man, sorry for the delay!
    This is a tilt problem as well as a target perception problem; see “golf pro lesson Tilted Spiral” part 1, 2 and 3; all 3 are primo important! ” also see “golf pro lesson Braced Tilt” Part 1 and 2 and “Golf Pro Lesson Proper spine tilt angle”

    Hi Anthony;
    Sorry for not getting back to you earlier! Busy spring!
    There is a short circuit going on in your swing and it sounds to me like your eyes are moving in the backswing; have someone look at your swing and see if my gut is correct; see if the urge to hit is still there when you are swinging through to a target with your eyes closed; you might want to send me a video of your swing too through the swing analysis services page of my website… Shawn

    The best drill is the “perpetual motion drill” video and you can check out the “Golf Pro Lesson on the slopes” video as well and practice with the ball below the feet; then finish with the timing of the swing with “feet together drill” to “sequence power drills” to “Downswing weightshift” and then practice this sequence in the perpetual motion setting like in the “Bilateral golf swing”; nuff said? :) Shawn

    Hi Shawn,
    I have watched all your vids and DVD several times. Great stuff, perhaps the best available in the business. Yet, one problem that keeps plagueing my golfswing is an apparent ”hitting urge” resulting in not letting the arms ”fall”’ and incomplete follow thru, wrong timing. I tried the parking brake drill This is all driving me nuts. Any sound advice for me here, apart from giving up the game, seeing a shrink or commit harikiri ;-).
    Thanks in advance.

    This where i have a big problem. I constantly hit the ground before hitting the ball and i lose tons of distance. At the end when i am done at the range, my right shoulder is killing me from digging into the ground. Is there anything i could try?
    I also having a hard time just swing and trying to sweep the ground.

    …that the arms are swinging as one massive unit gathering taut momentum through the ball towards the target; see the “Golf Pro Lesson training aids part 1 and 2″ and you will see that blue band I am talking about and you can order it through the Izzo website for about $12.00; the other videos to watch are “swing plane and “taut swing Philosophy”.

    Hi Jette!
    The key here is to feel that Gravity and Centrifugal force is placing the arms and club in the whole swing! These videos are for your understanding only; the best drill for arms is the “perpetual motion drill” combined with the “feet together drill” and the training aid from Izzo which is an elastic bandage that fits around the base of both biceps to keep the elbows close together during the entire swing which keeps the arms infront of the body and gives you the sensation that…

    Hi Shawn,

    I have seen all you videos re arm movement.
    However, I am having trouble getting it right.
    Could you perhaps make a video where we can see in close up ( like you did with the grip ) how your left arm rotates and how far back your right hand bends at the top of the swing ? Thank you for always answering my questions.

    The GRIP! I’ve …
    The GRIP! I’ve worked all Summer on Shawn’s concepts. I first corrected my grip. Immediately, ball contact imporved. But, over the Summer, things deteriorated. I’ve found that I’ve crept back to my old grip - right hand rotated more clockwise to the right(stronger?). I think that has long been the source of my shallow swing plane/laid off club .. and troubles. I couldn’t hinge my right wrist correctly & it pulled my club off plane. I’m amazed how the grip had such a huge influence on my plane.

    Have a look at the “Through the ball”, “Contact and spin”, “Compress through the ball” and “Catapult Power” videos as a start; you will find all my videos on my “you tube Shawn” page of my website listed at the top of the description of this video;
    Thanks for the question! Shawn

    The picture of …
    The picture of pushing a child on a swing has been dramatic for me. I now realise that the power point must the heel of my right hand pushing. Correct application causes the arms to drop and the right elbow to lead the arms with a flat left wrist at impact. Can you please confirm that this is a correct understanding because I have never heard to role of the heel of the right hand explicitly explained before.
