Swing Foundation: Lesson #6
Learn The ONE Indicator That Determines If Your Takeway Is Fundamentally Sound Or Headed For Another Disaster Shot!
Welcome back! This is the sixth of seven lessons I’ve prepared for you about the fundamentals you’ll need before learning the two steps to a perfect golf swing. If you missed my last lesson, you can find it by clicking here.
Today, I’d like to show you how to create the Imaginary L. The important thing to realize about the Imaginary L is that it is THE indicator that your takeaway is fundamentally sound. It shows that your arms hang from your shoulders at the proper angle and that your arms are apart at the correct distance.
This means that you have established not only wrist cock, but also one of the absolutes of the golf swing: width.
In fact if you take just one teaching point, one key aspect of this entire mini-clinic into the rest of your golfing days, make it the Imaginary L!
First, create the proper setup position, making sure your stance, grip, and ball position are correct.
When you take your stance, your hands are directly in front of your belt buckle.
From this your setup, work the wrist to the right to create an “imaginary L” between the left arm and the shaft of the club.
Turn your shoulders back and maintain the L, making the left arm parallel to the ground.

One question I have. I notice in the video you are using an iron. Would this also work with your driver and Fairway woods?
Yes it will work with a fairway / hybrid. Make sure the ball in on a tee.
hey shawn, a few years ago in england when sky had the golf channel on a weekly basis (sadly its gone now but it was a brillian programme full of interest and just great golfing personalities, and from time to time you were on there,i must say you ooze honesty and integrity,with such a great personality,i am pleased to be receiving your golf tips but may i may a small suggestion for you
please think about a way to get to all your fans worldwide with your dvd DOWNLOADABLE on say i tunes or some other way on payment. this will be instant gratification rather than a wait and possibly not receiving your dvd by post
regards your fan denis

Shawn
is it possible to have the Two Steps DVD Digital. I ask you these because I live in Buenos Aire , Argentina, and it will take time and probably customs problems if you send me the DVD.
thans and best regards

Juan–thank you!
Dear Shawn ,I like your teaching very much:it’s simple ,clear ,concise ,explained in Few Words .This being said .I’ve tried your méthod of THE ” early cocking” of THE wrists in THE beginnining of THE back swing .This méthod was also teached by great instructor JOE DANTE ,in THE ’40’s (FOUR MAGIC MOVES ).One of my golf pro’s tried to teach it to me also .I’m more comfortable with THE “slow “cocking of THE wrists .like GREG NORMAN and BEN HOGAN used to do .It “gives me more Time “to complete THE backswing ,which I tend to rush .
Any comments ?
This being said ,i’ll buy your DVD notwithstanding .
Raymond–You won’t be disappointed with your purchase of the training DVD.
