Shawn, there a confusion right about hit down the ball and trought the ball, because I starting to undestand that hit trought the ball I think that the ball is a someting I gonne hit straight with a hammer, but If I think of hitting down the golf club stick on teh ground!!! any comment!!?
@tphabe,
The kid on a swing is the best analogy for this concept. Try to think of it as “assisting momentum”. Have a look at “Golf pro lesson How Much Hit to Apply” for further explanation.

Hi Shawn: I understand the concept of “let the club fall” but when I do this there is no “zip” or speed to the swing. The swing is very languid and powerless with a very low clubhead speed. How can I correct this situation.? Is there a pushing action in the hitting area (such as you demonstrated in your analogy to the child on a playground swing ? Thanks. Please reply.
@thelumberjackjohn
Keep in mind that a 4 iron tracks a much wider arc than a 9 iron and therefore has its own natural rhythm. Often golfers have trouble with the longer irons because they are not confident with them, leading to a “push and pull” type motion rather than allowing the body to swing the club naturally. Have a look at “Golf Pro Lesson Rhythm”. Try to make a more rhythmic swing to your target.

I can do this well with the 6 iron on up and blast it but its diffrent with the 4 iron do you have any adivce
nice titleist irons
hey shawn, merry christmas. i recently ”upgraded” to a set of irons with nearly zero offset. i went and played today and hit everything thin and to the right. i was trying to compress like i did with my old irons. but it was futile.
tchammer51,
you are swinging with your arms and you are coming over the top…that’s your problem. on the down swing you suppose to swing with your hips and shoulders first.
First see “golf pro lesson weak grip or strong grip?” and then see my “golf pro lesson one leg swing no weightshift” to make sure you are staying centered in your swing; then order my DVD to get all the info in priority sequence to make sure you don’t miss out on anything important; Thanks for the question!
Shawn
Keep watching shawn’s vids and I’m sure he can fix it
I get it!! Ha! I think I am coming over the top and hit the ball out side to in and cause a spin on it andI can’t seem to cure it.
seriously now, what is happening is that your clubface is open a little and it is creating sidespin. There are lots of things that could be causing it.
you hit the ball to the right
all my balls fade to the right about 20 yds from my target. Also when the ball hits the ground it kicks to the right. What is my problem?
Excellant Video I have been working on this at the range. My question is that I have a tendency to leave large divots (club head width) with all my irons. Does this have something to do with ball positioning or club head bounce?
All good golf swings are trapped by the club face. Spin is imparted by the amount of hit and a full follow through. If you cut off the follow through, you will get a check and a roll.
You really are too nice for your own good
Anyway, nice video and shoes!
Also, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that (thanks to your lessons) my handicap dropped to 2> in a year, and multiple people have offered to sponsor me!
7 iron…
Excellent video…my only question is can anybody tell what club he’s hitting?
This is good stuff, thank you Shawn. I’ve seen enough of your videos on Youtube, i’m getting your DVD instructional videos!
You can check both “golf pro lesson sand shot” and “Golf Pro lesson buried bunker shot”…:) Thanks for the comment! Shawn
you have great instruction especially to laymen who may not get the picture. Now…. How do I place the club face on a trap swing to get the ball to back spin on the green?
Great work.
this is a great drill, and just what i was looking for, but i have a question…. I never take divits but seem to generally hit my Irons decent. I dont get huge distance but am fairly accurate. I do focus in front of the ball when swinging, but i brush the ground without divits most of the time. should i be concerned?
Hey; Check your tilt angle away from the target; stay braced AGAINST THE LEFT SIDE; see “golf pro lesson braced tilt part 2″ as well as “golf pro lesson tilted spiral” part 1, 2 and 3;
All the best! Shawn
No problem!! Way to go!! You know the average launch angle of a 30 degree 6 iron is 16 degrees on tour don’t you?
Really Really! So you are on the right track and congrats!~
