  1. Old school. Many now teach a much more forward (cover the ball) everything.
    I’m not saying 1 is better than the other, just 2 different styles. Myself,
    my weight NEVER gets behind the ball with the slight exception of the
    driver (ascending hit). I start with my weight left — being right handed–
    and am moving more left even before the transition. I do enjoy your videos
    and swing though.?

  4. so I skip the stone on a 3 wood and I hit down on the irons? Do you keep
    your weight on your left foot or ball inline with your left foot or in the
    middle of your stance? I think I’m always off balance when I switch from
    iron to 3 wood.

  6. Id take his swing over mine any day. Plus more times than not the best
    player in any sport is not the best teacher.

  7. After watching it closer, the swing doesn’t seem to have as much hip sway.
    It’s probably just all the knee bending that makes it seem that way.

  8. @terps2703 Thanks; and it would depend on the model hybrid you use; I find
    the Adams and Titleist can be played back like irons but the Callaway and
    certain Taylor mades that are very shallow faces need to hit more like a
    fairway wood; Shawn

  9. Correct me if I’m wrong on this, but after watching plenty of instructional
    videos about irons and hybrids, it seems that some instructors emphasize
    that the hands need to be in front of the ball with a normal stance, and
    other instructors emphasize tilting the spine to get the hand position in
    front of the ball. Or is it a combination of both? I may just be
    overthinking it at this point.

  11. Shawn….I have really enjoyed all of your videos and wanted to let you
    know so. I’ve really learned a lot about my golf game with your help. I’m a
    4 handicap and am always looking for anything that can help me lower it
    even more. This video about hitting with the hybrid is very interesting. I
    have never heard anyone talk about “skipping” any club into the ball like
    you described. I’ll have to try it the next time I’m on the course. BTW, I
    love my hybrids!

  16. how do you hit the ball higher with an iron? i’ve tried puttin it further
    forward in my stance, but i either fat it becasue the bottom of my swing is
    b4 the ball, or i try so hard to get to the ball, i end up covering the
    ball and hitting it lower! any tips for hitting it higher with my irons?

  17. I came across your videos some months ago and I had the same thought. It
    seemed to me that your swing has too much moving parts that need to be
    perfectly timed right. But I started to seriously watch your videos again
    some weeks ago and they make so much sense, everything just fall into place
    I’m still not saying that you have a great swing, but you are definitely
    one of the best instructor. PS: Your YouTube videos are so good I don’t
    know if I want to purchase your “DVDs”, lol…

  18. Shouldn’t a hybrid get the ball up in the air more easily, because of the
    weight and the centre of gravity? Oh, and please, please make a video on
    putting grip, please 🙂

  19. After this I hit a 5 wood 240 m to a target and landed after 1 bounce to
    within 5 feet directly in line. At impact I automatically had a natural
    tilt with a feeling of all the weight on my left side and I could feel the
    powerful compression on the ball coming back through my hands from the
    club.

  22. @jingoducky I have to disagree with you on this one. If you were to take
    snapshots of the swing, I believe that you will find that he is in good
    position throughout. Plus he’s a top 25 CPGA teaching professional. He must
    be doing something right.

  23. Thanks Shawn for explaining the fairway wood and hybrid. I’m a lady
    beginner golfer in Australia and when I learnt we didn’t practice either.
    When I got my bag of clubs I didn’t know what they were used for. When I
    tried using them I would fluff the shot, lose confidence and go back to
    using my irons usually taking three or more shots to get to the green. I
    practiced with both clubs on the driving range today. I feel a little more
    confident about using them in my game in future. Thanks again.

  24. I’ll take it. And he can score par or better left ot right handed. My hope
    is to someday get a lesson or 2 from Shawn
