BEST DRILL IN GOLF-FEET TOGETHER-JUST GOT BETTER!! (slow motion added!)

[@Stig911]

I ran across this video and wanted to express my thanks. I've recently returned to golf after an 8 year hiatus and have working hard to finally eliminate all the swaying from my swing which I ignorantly lived with for 30+ years prior when I finally just gave the game up. After watching this vid, I've incorporated the drill into my pre-shot routine, taking two swings, feet together, in front of the ball, spreading my legs which, as you pointed out moves the club head forward to address the ball. Beyond improving my rotation and balance, I find that using this drill in the preshot aids tremendously in terms of ensuring my tempo is correct for the upcoming shot. I've probably watch 100 hours of video since returning to play. Of all of them, this video has been the most magical. Thanks again!!!

[@golflessons]

Hi Stig! Right on and great on you for realizing this! You should check out my premium channel where you will find my life’s work for just $9.95 per month, stay as long as you like. The first video you will want to see is “feet together back to feet apart” to confirm your findings. Then see the “throwing series” and “Goldie locks series” then “target confirmation series” as well as the “kinetic chain facilitation series” and finally the “stick your finish despite the ball” series just to name a few of my best!

This is truly the one drill that can teach you how make solid contact without an instructor next to you. All you have to do is swing the club. I am learning the Jim Veneto golf swing as well, which is a beautiful swing, having more than one swing in your bag is awesome. Back to the feet together drill, if you're struggling this can dial you back in!

[@ignorance123]

Thanks

[@golflessons]

Thank you Mike! 👍😀

[@janestewart412]

Feet together - my saving grace. I was having a lot of trouble recently and began drilling with feet together. It works so well that I took it to the course and played every shot with it. Few strange looks but it works so well, why not use it. I swapped out my driver for my 3 wood and it went further! And so accurate! Also no pressure on my body at all. Loving feet together. I’m using perpetual motion still to heave the club up but I notice that Mu doesn’t do that. I’d love to know if the slow movement back is mandatory. Thanks again Shawn. From Australia.

[@golflessons]

Nice! Stick with it! When you are ready, our premium channel has the bridge back with “feet together back to feet apart” video; you will then get it even better! 😀👍👌

Amazing feet together drill Posted 14 years ago and by a much younger man. This has stood the test of time because it has good benefits much like the perpetual motion drill. I feel the perpetual motion drill is by far the most beneficial drill of all. I can remember one spring day looking out over my 4 acre yellow lawn plastered with millions of dandelions . Perpetual motion drill heaven for sure. I realized there were more dandelions that any one person could cut in one day. My only regret was not wearing gloves that day. Thank god I do not have neighbors cuz surely they would have thought I was insane. Who in the heck came up with the idea of cutting dandelions or grass using these drills ? Best dad gum Canadian instructor on the planet. That's who ! Thanks Shawn

[@golflessons]

Ooooh, when spring comes and those dandelions sprout, it is like a just went to heaven!! Send me a picture next time!!😀👍🤘

[@donschmidt8203]

There are many great drills in golf. If there is one "secret sauce" it is the feet together drill. It ingrains the feel of balance and pressure at address. It solidifies the natural movements of every body part. To paraphrase Star Trek, this new drill boldly goes where no drill has gone before. Your emphasis on a slow gathering swing with arms softly dropping is a game changer. From there you extend and throw like tossing a ball. This conjures up the effortless power of a Sam Snead. GREAT STUFF!

[@golflessons]

Right on Don! great of you for leaving this awesome comment and for having the wisdom to recognize a winning drill! 👍😀

[@quoostonator]

That’s some great clarity on the ball position there. Thanks! Still haven’t tried the driver with feet together, thinking it’s a good idea after that!!

[@golflessons]

You can do it!

[@charleshutchinson9480]

You have made a significant change to my game

[@golflessons]

So glad to be of service! 👍😀

[@peterbrewer1822]

Feet together establishes the fulcrum. Feet apart means you need to feel a different fulcrum. I play golf feet together now. As a handicap golfer playing once a week, it's fine.

[@golflessons]

Fantastic way to play! The one leg drill is awesome too!😀👍

[@georgiamay4045]

can't wait to try this one

Great drill. Is there a video showing a transition from feet together to full swing with feet apart.

[@golflessons]

OOOOH YES!!! One of the best videos you will see on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see “feet together back to feet apart” and it is a real doozie and is the grandfather of ground forces in the golf swing!

[@nitinsood3458]

So this drill works great ; no doubts; how do we carry this into the full swing tho ? What are we looking to draw from this into the full swing to replicate the strike and kinetic chain ?

[@golflessons]

Well where do we start? There is no sway back away from the ball and no getting ahead of it; you have a pure anchor to get the release to happen at the same place, low point is taken care of…the key is to master this TOWARDS A TARGET. BETTER THAN THAT, you want to apply this to a specific task and not go at the ball, like the “grass whip training shawn clement” video. On our premium channel, we have a slew of amazing tasks to choose from to see which one resonates best with you. Just type the word “task” in the search box and also see the incredible “feet together back to feet apart” video and the “kinetic chain facilitation series” Https://www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and it’s only $9.95 for now, stay as long as you like.

Well, if people don't listen/follow they'll be high handicappers Forever. You may recall I had knee replacement 4 weeks ago yesterday. I still can't go after it yet and I'm carrying my 8 iron 175. Heading to Florida for the month of March and can't wait. The golf swing for me is technic not power. Keep up the good work. BTW, Moo is an animal. Wish I was 30 not 66. Happy new year

You and me both Wayne! 😀👍🎉🤘👌

[@ryanrichardson9915]

I have been doing this drill for years as part of my pre round warmup.

[@DrewJ79]

I need to try this drill. When I chip, I usually have my feet together because I feel like I have more control. Ive never thought about trying this stance as a drill with longer shots though.

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

Spent some time on the driving range with my two grandsons (8 years old and 12 years old) Saturday. That feet together drill was the only drill I asked them to do. After a few minutes of this swing drill, they started giggling about how much better they hit the ball. 12 year old was hitting his drive past the 200 yard post (couldn’t clear the 150 post before the drill!)

[@golflessons]

Brilliant! So many experience the same thing! Keep enjoying and keep coming back to the drill to stay tuned up!

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

@@golflessons when they hit the ball further with their feet together than they did a few swings before trying to “drive the ball over the fence” like they do on the baseball diamond, they think it’s magic or a trick shot. They have a friend that was also on the driving range. His issue was hitting the ball shifting his weight in his trail foot. “Lifting” the golf ball. Used feet together and then step toward target with lead foot to try to help him fix the issue. But noticed he went back to not ending swing on his lead foot. He’ll need to pay a pro to get out of that nasty habit. Haha

[@harleyvol]

Having my right hip replaced in 2 days - I’ll start with this drill as soon as I’m allowed to swing a club (along with some putting!!)

[@golflessons]

Very good! this will keep everything in line! When you are ready, see our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com (only $9.95 per month) and you will see “feet together back to feet apart” to make the transition back to normal very seamless!

I might start the season playing feet together...

[@golflessons]

You and a bunch of others! Amazing how far you can smoke it and how centred you stay in the process; tightest dispersion ever!

[@johnaleck8672]

I use this drill regularly but after viewing this video, i see i need to do it better. No dead weight.

[@golflessons]

Good realization John! Bet your next practice session was pretty good! 😀👍

[@martingrainger570]

Great video guys, the ball position thing with Munashe answered a big question I had! However, I'm sure I'm not the only person wondering why feet together isn't the default way to play golf? What difference does it make to being able to send the golf ball out towards the target? Is it stability? being able to better use the ground? It seems like feet together doesn't hinder you in any significant way, perhaps you could explain?

[@javierr3515]

Why not?? If you play straight with this drill is a perfect way to lower scores and have fun.

[@martingrainger570]

@@javierr3515 I happily would, I think it's a fantastic Drill! I'm just trying to understand what widening my stance gives me in terms of a benefit over playing this way.

[@grantdallison6824]

Quite often do the feet together drill it’s excellent for keeping good balance and stops swaying like you almost lock that right leg with a hip turn only 👌

[@golflessons]

Not locked, but fully engaged in support of the COG!!

[@mikecrook8434]

Great demonstration of the golf swing, Shawn, BUT...after "loading of the ground" as you say to start the body into rotation around the core of its axis do you not have to push into the ground with your right foot to generate power to rotate left? (For lefties, the left foot to rotate right).

[@golflessons]

Both legs!

[@jayboek2854]

Wow!!! Hey Shawn. Been working a ton over the past month or so trying to take the correct divot after striking the ball. With the feet together and using the motion to the target its crazy. Its almost perfect everytime. How do i use this with the normal swing? Im now tearing up my backyard with divots. Wife will probably be not happy. 😂

[@golflessons]

on the premium channel, we have a superb video called “feet together back to feet apart” which is also the best video on ground forces out there!

[@chriswhite7236]

Great Drill Shawn! The hardest thing I'm finding at the moment is making a full backswing and making good contact. I tend to use a short backswing in which I constantly hit the ball almost as far as with a full backswing. 🤦‍♂️ Will definitely try this drill on the range.

[@golflessons]

One’s definition of a full backswing can be misleading; on our premium channel, see “purpose of the backswing” and then “unstoppable momentum series” and “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy”

[@rodlewis3587]

Hey Shawn I love the feeling of ball coming off clubface with this awesome drill,but I really struggle with feeling the club falling,how can I get and keep this feel

Wow Great drill! Can I just do this on the course during my round (I.e. play that way)?

Absolutely!

Shawn. Is it OK/possible to also do the two tee drill with this feet together drill?

Yes, called the slow motion drill shawn clement”

[@fseuss]

can this help with an extreme over the top swing with specifically the driver?

[@golflessons]

Hey Frankie! See all my amazing “over the top shawn clement” videos as well as the latest video we posted on pulling shots straight left!

[@matthewsafranic1831]

Shawn, I play to a 6-8hdc, but a question sir? Your drills about feeling the club being thrown towards the target. I easily replicate that in drills, and having played baseball until college, I know the feeling, but I can’t translate it to the actual swing. Should I just force empathize it and then adjust for good contact or is there something else I can do? Thank you!

[@golflessons]

Hey Matt! See all my “throwing the club shawn clement” videos and then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” on our premium channel, you would watch the following titles: -all the “release” videos -all the throwing series videos -the predict contact and Goldie locks series -the pre-motor cortex series -the target confirmation series

[@jukkakymalainen]

One off my favorit drills 👍 🙂 Does this work with different grips? I mean like you said earlier videos. Weaker grip needs more pronounced hand release and stronger grip needs more pronounced body turn.

[@golflessons]

Yes it does

[@anomad6314]

what is this voodoo? 180 yards with feel together?

[@quietlivingman3361]

Hi Shawn, tried it with the irons. Pulled a lot of my shots. Ball position was center. Could not figure out why.

[@golflessons]

Hit a draw and play the ball back of centre and let the club release in the direction it wants to! See “pulling shots left shawn clement”

[@Dave-wu5ug]

Does this really work. I've watched so much stuff on YT and my head is fecked. I hit driver 230 to 240. I'm going to drill this in garage without ball. 50 legs together and 50 one leg drill reps for next two days and I'll let you all know if I improve or not. Thanks for the drill Shawn.

I hit it so good when I do the feet together drill and as soon as a I separate my feet it falls apart. Should just start playing that way for every shot.

[@golflessons]

Hi Rob! I get that a lot! We have a video on our premium channel (in the description) that is called “feet together back to feet apart” and another series to use to bridge this gap is the “one leg drill” and “the diagonal stance series” and then you graduate to the “task update” and the “kinetic chain facilitation series” with more on the way on this subject!

[@mikecrook8434]

Second question...why wouldn't someone just adopt the feet-together approach as their standard method of swinging the club all the time from the wedges to the driver? I understand distance travel would be one factor for some people, but if they simply adjusted their distance scale based on their "feet-together" style, they'd be hitting straighter shots with much more consistency thus lowering their score. Is my thinking flawed? If so, how.

[@golflessons]

We get this all the time; absolutely! The only time it would be hard is if the course was very hilly, like Augusta or Bethpage black!

[@paulaotoole2097]

Shawn, love your work. I just played 2 weeks in a row with conventional stance but with my right heel just raised off the ground slightly and during the backswing. It's the first time i've scored in the 70's two weeks in a row. Solid straight strikes, centred swing & no sway and distance not really impacted probably due to strike quality, not swing speed. Stupid question, should i continue with right heel up or gradually revert back to right heel on ground to potentially get more distance particularly with driver?

[@thomasbarreca6305]

I want to make sure that I understand the ramifications of this video. Are you no longer recommending the "feet together, perpetual motion drill"? The perpetual motion drill would obviously produce a faster backswing than the slow motion backswing. So are you now recommending that we practice slow motion backswings with the feet together instead of perpetual motion? Should we also use slow motion backswings when actually hitting balls on the course?

[@golflessons]

GREAT QUESTION!!! Perpetual motion still wins in my book but you would be surprised at how many struggle with it in the backswing; so this is a nice BRIDGE OF AWARENESS to get to the promised land!👍😀👌

[@miket990]

Hey why was that last shot 126 club speed and only 150 ball speed efficiency was very low. Does not seem right

[@K415T14N]

❌ Watch every single tour player, they lose height in the backswing! 🚨DO NOT LIFT.🚨 THAT BEING SAID: FEET TOGETHER, GREAT DRILL!
