@mebagga I have all kinds of videos for this; just type in “golf pro lesson…” then the subject like “arm motion” or “wrist hinge” or “leg and footwork”…if you get my new 5 disc dvd series, you will see everything in priority sequence with 2 different camera angles; incredibly thorough! Shawn
Shawn, you always demonstrate practice swinging the arms and the club back and forth as if it should be second nature to us. We’re here to learn how to swing the arms and club back and forth, simply demonstrating it and saying the arms fall isn’t helping me. Can you break it down please? What are the hands, arms and wrists doing. When, where and how do they rotate for example.
nice
Yes of course!
I just uploaded a video today that will really help; you will like the title…”golf pro lesson the insanity of Golf”
Enjoy! Shawn
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for your excellent videos…
incredibly intuitive and practical … your “common sense” approach is a refreshment … you are truly one of a kind
Question: I keep hitting fat shots, about 1-3 inches behind the ball … when i do this drill, about 25% of my swings hit behind the ball …. any thoughts?
thanks in advance
Very humbling comment; thank you very much; but it is funny how you mention the very same guys who have helped in understanding half the equations of the golf swing! The other would be Da Vinci with his studies of the human body! I realized a long time ago how to bring them together in golf and continue to find better ways to communicate the feel of it; back to the lab!
Shawn
Shawn, you are like the Einsteirn, or Sir Isaac Newton of Golf.
Five stars aren’t enough for you!
You Bet!
Great comment! Thanks! Shawn
it’s quite interesting to see this drill. several years ago i would obsessively video tape my swing, and i noticed when i took my practice swings without stopping my swing stayed on plane, unlike my actual swings. so then my goal was to replicate the feeling i was getting during those “nonstop” swings.
it’s nice to see there was some merit in my little discovery
Hey Dan;
Same focus as in the “golf pro lesson swing plane” video and you can check out the “Golf Pro Lesson timing and tempo update” and “bilateral Golf swing” videos too;
Shawn
Hello Again and sorry for not responding earlier; see my “golf pro lesson how much hit to apply” video
All the best! Shawn
u just need practice. keep doing it. and in no time you will be hitting the right spot. try to concentrate on your swing motion initailly than where you hit on the ground. once the swing is groved it wil come automatically
Hey Shawn,
When I try this drill I find it difficult to hit the same spot on the ground. I’m guessing it’s because I’m trying to hit it. Where should my focus be or what is the main thought here to keep the swing plane intact? Thanks.
Dan
Awesome drill, I’ve been trying the perp. motion thing in my backyard and started hitting the ball much straighter. Thanks again Shawn, from Stonington, CT
hi shawn from germany. still snow here. waiting for spring. Question: Worked with the perp-drill and its really fantastic. feels a bit strange but the result is unbelieveable! doing this drill is a very steady movement. there is no time to worry about the movement of the arms, hands, hips etc. it is working by its own. BUT: to speed up, is it really only the “push the kids swing-analogy”? I suspect that its very hard to speed up in this short-termed time period… thanks from germany!
SWEEEET!!! Im going to try this soon
These have got to be the best videos on the internet.
Thanks shawn!
Hey Shawn,
Jim Flick has referred to this drill on Golf Channel. I felt worn out just watching you go through those 16? balls!
Question: How far apart are those balls?
When I play my sand iron I feel like I take too much divot. Should I be skimming or coming in flatter. I may have a mental block with my lofted irons to 7iron.
Little help if you please.

Hi and thanks for your comment;
This is why I came out with my DVD; it has all the important aspects of technique and training in order of importance and disc 3 has all the shots executed on course from Driver to putter; 4 hours on 3 discs all filmed from scratch! For $40.00 it is a real gift and you will enjoy it very much. Just go to the “My DVD” page on my website; Shawn
Shawn,
I am a 13 HC’er. I came across your videos the other day and I’m really enjoying them. Very informative. Do you have any recommendations on which order to go through them all?
This is the BEST drill to find your tempo. Correct tempo will transform your swing! Don’t ignore this drill. It will eat balls quickly but is well worth it. Shawn knows what he’s talking about!
Thanks 14thjuly! I will see what I can do about that!
Shawn
Hey GolfRules!
What you want to do is combine this drill with the “Braced Tilt”, “Braced Tilt part 2″, “Proper spine tilt” and “Great driver tip” videos; they are all on the “You Tube Shawn” page of my website…Thanks for the question and you will see exactly what has been going on through those 4 vids;
Shawn
Hi Shawn,
I’m becoming a fan of your method of instruction. After watching many of your videos I can see a lot of great simplistic drills which I attempt to copy. However because video is a 2 dimesional medium I can’t walk around you to check things – I don’t see how far hips turn, shoulders turn or the swing path etc. Could you do a video with the camera mounted several feet above you, so that it captures all of these things?
when im hitting my driver all i keep doing is hitting my tee and it goes straight up in the air and the tee isnt tee’d up high what am i doing wrong
