Quick question... In this video you line up the ball to the center of the fairway and swing towards the tree line. But where are your feet, hips and shoulders aligned? Towards the trees or the center of the fairway?

@luker78 Great question! Have a look at my "working the ball" part 1, 2 and 3 videos; especially part 3; you will understand why on the answer as well; Shawn

@luker78 They are at the center of the fairway; have a look at my "Working the ball; shawn clement" part 3; to see the difference between fade and draw shots; Shawn

@clemshaw ok, I watched part 4 and I understand how it's done. My next question is with the driver. If I play the ball further back in my stance to play a draw, won't that change the launch agle as well?

[clemshaw]

@luker78 No, because of how you get behind the shot; have a look at my "draw and fade part 3" and then see my latest "Feel the Braced Tilt" and the "Braced tilt down the line" you don't pre-turn on the fade but you do on the draw to always feel that your centre of mass is right behind the ball.

I'm trying to understand the logic of the wider woods requiring an ahead of center alignment. I'm not questioning that this works, just trying to glue together the why. The face of the club is in the same alignment as Irons, directly adjacent to the shaft. So forward for woods, is to allow the trailing portion of the head bottoming out at the center and beginning to move up and return to the inside? ?? Thanks I'll also post on the forum.

[clemshaw]

@bboardma It is not just the face but the center of gravity of the club head which is way back of the face; this makes a big difference in the set up; Shawn

Great video shawn, I watched your video on using a strong grip really backed up my thoughts of strong vs weak grip!

My fades or cuts, especially off the drivers, tends to go further than my draws. Is that normal? Thx again.

Hi Shawn.

I took your advice on the driver regarding leg drive and whipping the club through impact. I was so amazed to feel the result and the quality of impact was fantastic. Direction was not too bad either, one seemed to bring the other :) I will now work on hitting through to the target as you suggested in your other videos. Thanks.
