By: Frazer20. on 26 Nov 09, 22:47:14
In the last video shawn said something that clicked with me, and something I think about in similar terms.He said that Pauls "momentum' in the D.S reflected the great analogy of propelling the kid on a swing but Paul has his hand constantly guiding the swing, whereas if we ACCELERATE? through the ball, rather than keep a constant speed the club can do nothing but act as we are forcing it to, i.e a whip through the ball. ACCELERATION and TEMPO are key to whipping the club, and its a great feeling

I am a right hand dominant, left handed golfer. I have tried to use the frisbee throwing technique, but when contact the ball with the club, I feel that I am lifting the ball instead of compressing. I have tried to move the ball back in my stance, but that mostly causes me to push the ball weak and left. I like your videos, thought maybe? you could help me. Thanks.

By: phreephaller1540. on 06 Nov 08, 04:50:26
Shawn, really liked the visual swing images you? provide in this vid. I think golfers these days really underestimate the effectiveness of the "Snead Squat" that you emphasize i order to transfer weight leading to the downswing lag and adding the early backswing lag adds another element of rhythm and timing to the important move.

By: nwrob1. on 13 Jun 08, 16:40:11
Hey Shawn - Great vid as usual, and Paul has some nice things going on in that swing. One thing that I expected you to mention was his very handsy takeway. I tend to do the same, and it wrecks my width and keeps me from really "swinging" the? clubhead back. How important is it to start with your hands in front of the ball, and if you do, how do you get the "Bobby Jonesesque" feeling of really swinging that clubhead back? Thanks!

By: clemshaw. on 17 Mar 08, 15:20:56
When the tilt in the swing is properly braced into the left side BEFORE THE ARMS COME DOWN, and you are using inertia to track the arms and club, then you will feel everything releasing naturally towards? the target and feel VERY accurate; what you are feeling sounds to me like something is not clearing properly because it is not braced properly; Watch "Braced Tilt Part 2", "swing sequence" and "sequence power drills" Shawn... Plus I have more coming...:)

By: 123GPA. on 16 Mar 08, 16:43:06
Shawn a question. When I do this I feel like I have no control of? where the ball is going since I take my hands out of the "hit" of the ball. Does it just take practice to make sure the ball is heading in the right direction? I guess I have been guiding my arms and not tossing

By: clemshaw. on 11 Feb 08, 16:36:14
This is why we call them analogies...:) They are meant to conjure up mental images that? will help your central nervous system make a neuro-muscular connection to get to that all important "feel"; Why would it do damage? You get to the same hinge as you would normally; unless you snatch the club back so hard it makes your head spin...which I think is not likely; just keep things smooth and be aware of how inertia takes the club head during the swing; Shawn

By: aallenlenth. on 28 Aug 11, 18:28:06
If you could I would like a comment on their view -VS- yours on the "slot swing." Naturally I keep coming back to you because I really hate thinking so much when I know I can nail my targets? and distances without so much technical dribble. I combine your practices with Freddy Couple's two movements - "Left Shoulder passing under the chin going back - legs quiet - but not deliberately; then rotate hips forward." That combined with your set up techniues and I am GROVIN! Thanks

By: aallenlenth. on 28 Aug 11, 18:27:46
Now to Mr. McCain's point - he demonstrates that nearly all of the PGA greats past and present drop their right elbow into a slot and it is pretty effective. The problems with the inside slot swing is that it really encourages a hook - much like Calvin Peete's. The problem with Hogan's secret is distance? - although with the technique one can be as accurate as he and Moe Norman - it is quite impressive - but again - painful - for me.

It took me a while. I also read a lot of other folks and now have a question? about your definition of "CRASH" vs - Jim McClain's Inside slot swing. He actually encourages the right elbow to drop - in fact he insists on it "crashing" into the right hip.

By: clemshaw. on 04 Apr 11, 02:25:40
I would look at the set up and make sure that your arm-club unit with the driver is PRE-DEPLOYED OUTWARD; the distance of the hands from the body cannot be the same with all clubs and many? of my students do not allow for enough room between themselves and their longer clubs; see "set-up for all clubs; shawn clement" and "taut swing philosophy; shawn clement' as well as "swing plane; shawn clement" and "feel the swing plane; shawn clement"; discuss the findings in the forum too! :)

By: clemshaw. on 10 Feb 11, 19:16:24
I understand the need to try and figure this out by many golfers; but the fact of the matter is that you are already wired to do exactly the right amount at the right time and intensity depending on your target and choice of shot; please see this very important video on? the subject called "ridiculously easy; Shawn Clement" part 1 and 2 as well as "Hammer through; Shawn Clement" and "Throwing the club; Shawn Clement"; enjoy!

By: clemshaw. on 13 Oct 10, 02:50:08
To focus on this would be to take away from the important task of staying locked into your target with your mind; there are so many? things that just happen when you swing; you CANNOT BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING AT ONCE; when you focus on the arm in your site or the shoulder touching the chin, your TARGET DISAPPEARS AND THEN YOU ARE FORCED TO DEFAULT TO THE BALL; I do not have 20 lifetimes to teach anyone who goes to these places; please see "golf pro lesson ridiculously easy" part 1 and 2

I just uploaded a video that will definitely help as your arm-club unit is still not being allowed to swing freely; when the upper left arm crashes against the upper rib cage, it gets diverted across the chest into a flatter position; so see "golf pro lesson horse shoes and lassos" ! :) You will understand when you see it!

Thanks for the reply Shawn! You're truly a man of? the people and we appreciate that! I reviewed the swing plane video and that makes sense. I guess what I was wondering is what makes a person's plane steep or flat other than the length of the club?? Is it just body type, height, arm length...my plane has always been on the flatter side....Im 6'1 with long arms.....I try to use your method and have the dvd's :) wonder if which hand is dominant plays a role in wrist hinge?

By: danason20501. on 16 Feb 12, 21:51:04
Gonna try this training drill great tip on understanding this concept. I do this well 30% of the time. really not fully aware of opening hip turn first. Think I can learn this in two buckets thanks to you. I think at the top of the back swing if I weight transfer to the inside left first my right hip will turn faster and allow left hip Socket to become the leverage of the shot and my hips should open a fraction of a? second faster. Does that sound right to you.

Shawn, once again ...
By: h0ss66. on 09 Jan 12, 14:21:37
Shawn, once again awesome stuff. I finally figured out (with the help of my pro) that I was spinning out drastically because my hips were driving way to fast while my arms stayed behind. This opened up my shoulders at impact, huge slices or flippy pull hooks. Although I've watched this video multiple times, it finally clicked. Thinking "fast arms falling" helped me tremendously. Now I can use the arms to create speed and the hips to create leverage? at impact. My SS jumped at least 10mph!

Your ideas about ...
By: BenJogan. on 03 Jan 12, 14:41:26
Your ideas about arm falling in front while the body turns are very effective. At 3:41 that's a "Moe Normanish" kind of action to me! Btw I think there's another effective procedure for the downswing. The point is that we imagine that the body starts unwinding hard from the top along with the arms. This way the torso has to stop and stall at - or ever before - impact, in order to allow the hands and arm to be released. What if we start the? downswing with "pivot stall" + arm falling?

No matter how much i try i cannot comprehend starting my downswing "ground up" i cant get the kinetics of an independent lower body..Ive tried to fix an inside takeaway but its against my natural feel..

By: emncaity. on 23 May 11, 19:42:17
Also, it is observable in several great players that there is a slight rearward fall of? the club and arms. I've just seen too many people who try to apply the "in front of" thing end up like "tammywiseman" (above), getting too steep, outside, and over the top. Also, while it's true that crowding the swing with a too-inside move on the backswing can cause an over-the-top move to compensate, it's also true that players get OTT by being too rotary and/or torso-and-hip-oriented.

I do object ...
By: emncaity. on 23 May 11, 19:39:24
I do object somewhat to the popular "in front" theory of the last 20 years or so. Factually, the arms and club do move across the torso and to the side of it in the backswing, if the reference point is the turned torso; or, if you prefer, the club is definitely behind the head and neck. I've seen amateurs tie themselves in knots trying to keep the club in line with the middle of the "front" of the torso, as if they were? supposed to fight the natural swinging motion of the arms and club.

For more on "stone- ...
By: emncaity. on 23 May 11, 19:37:21
For more on "stone-skipping," check Faldo's? "Tips & Drills" vid. Also, check H. Penick's "magic move" and his slow-mo drill for it--shifting gently to the lead side while moving the arms and club partway down, slowly, with no spinning of the shoulders (the shoulders only responding). The "push" an assist to momentum is so, so right. What happens when you try to apply power too suddenly, extremely, or violently, outside the bounds of a swinging motion, when you're pushing somebody on a swing?

By: clemshaw. on 26 Jul 10, 01:55:31
I know how you feel because you hear this in all instruction magazines and books; do you have level shoulders on a flat lie?? No, of course not! And? none of the magazines and books will tell you that they should be because the right hand is lower than the left...so now you should do this on a downhill shot where balance against the left is of paramount importance? You see how I get frustrated by the ignorance out there? Shawn

I'm sure this ...
By: shinji0843. on 22 Jun 10, 23:54:36
I'm sure this concept still applies and is quite valid for all degree of angles, but how about on severe slopes (ball above and below feet)? I mean, there are times when you pull or slice the shot from the tee severely onto a hillside. You would obviously pick the safest route and maybe hit the ball as a downhill shot and just dribble it back onto the fairway, but... if you were to go ahead and try to hit it along the hillside towards the green, how would? you take care of such severe cases?

So, for the ...
By: cmterpsnskins. on 18 Apr 10, 05:05:02
So, for the downhill shots, you don't align your shoulders with the slope of the hill? You are the first instructor I've seen advocate this. Oh, I? will take your word for it than any of the others, but I was just wondering why. Thanks.

By: blouhoender. on 16 Sep 09, 01:10:46
Shawn, I have to thank you so much. I watched your videos on the full swing yesterday where you suggested lifting the left foot a bit and then planting it.? I then went to the driving range and shot 50- 17 yards further on every shot, just using your tips. I would recommend you to anyone. Thanks man, great job.

It's me again. I got to play with the club champion at Crystal Falls TX today. I had the ball below my feet and I was about 120 yards out with a pitching wedge. The pin placement was way in the back? . I showed the guy how to do this shot flat footed. I hit the flag stick squarely and the ball went strait back about 12 feet. The ball was as strait as can be. He was stunned.

I worked on this this past week. OMG! I am simply stunned and how this works. This goes against every thing you learned about sloped lies. I played with a guy on tuesday and kept dropping balls on different sloped lies and his jaw dropped. Yet again, I go to the course with this doubting thomas "ah this is BS" attitude only to have my jaw drop (and others)? and again proclaim Shawn to be a genius. In fact this lead to a birdie today. I had a ball above up hill lie and hit a cut shot to 10ft!!

Hey Just james! Have? a look at the "Golf pro Lesson Leverage power" video; when you have this natural leverage, you have a veritable launchpad! My longest shots have come from this kind of uphill lie; but obviously, more inclination that what you see here would require an adjustment; Shawn

By: justjames1111. on 16 Apr 09, 16:12:55
Shawn, I'm confused. I thought that if you hit up the slope you needed a club more, e.g a 7 to hit 8 iron distance because of the increased loft. You then hit a 5i 220yds instead of your usual? 190. Can you explain please!

No that doesn't ...
By: TheDistilledMan. on 21 Sep 10, 20:04:58
No that doesn't quite follow logically either. If you imagine a putt on a dewy green, the ball leaves a nice trail on the green as it arcs a path. The point of that path that is furthest from straight, is obviously the apex. Now you can't set it off at the apex, as it will break before then and? not go over the apex, so it must be be set off wide of it, to have broken onto it by the time it reaches it, to then continue breaking into the hole thereafter. This is why people miss low.

I think the method ...
By: DreamWindX. on 21 Sep 10, 05:33:55
I think the method of putting assumes that the apex of the putt is the moment you strike it and it rolls downhill from there. At least that is how I've always been told to putt instead of aiming at a particular? apex point.

By: TheDistilledMan. on 20 Sep 10, 19:21:34
Respectfully, I've never liked this method of putting. I understand the need to give average players a straight putt to hit all the time, and a way to break the putt down into parts, but? it assumes that no break occurs before you reach the apex, which is clearly not the case.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply; very busy summer!

By: 451mnu. on 22 Aug 10, 10:41:38
It's very easy to get locked into positions with TGM. I prefer your approach where you encourage freeing up the body. Speaking of positions :-), is your right elbow showing underneath the left arm on 4.46 a deliberate lead with the right elbow as in skipping the stone or side-arm throw in baseball? Never played baseball but skipping the stone right? arm is throwing while the left seems to pull back. What does your left arm do on? your DS or FS? Is it a "pull" or a "push"?

Am I tilting wrong? Sometimes I hit it? good with the spine tilt and sometimes not. I don't know if I am tilting too much or the wrong way.

Would it be fair to say that one could imagine or attempt to visualize the mid-point of the shoulder axis as the apex of a triangle with the base of the triangle at the hip level and that this triangle is "tilted" but the angle of this tilted triangle is constant at least through impact... BUT that there is an angulated "vertical-like" motion of the triangle which provides the gyration etc.

By: clemshaw. on 05 Mar 10, 04:50:56
@vjwmd, Shawn's finish position is a result of allowing the momentum of the arms to carry everything through to the target. If you try to maintain your tilt excessively past impact, you will be resisting momentum (or? hanging back) which is likely the source of your push. Hope that helps! -Matt Blois Golf Learning Centre Assistant Professional

Are u suggesting ...
By: vjwmd. on 05 Mar 10, 00:51:38
Are u suggesting that the tilt that u start off with does NOT increase on the downswing. If so, how do u reconcile that with other aspects of your swing teaching (which I am a huge fan/proponent of) in which you get that "bump" or "butt backwards" movement in the transition. When I practice this bump it seems? that if I stop the swing at impact and look in the mirror that my tilt angle has ? increased and I don't get the stacked finish that u get. I also push shots. Is my tilt angle 2 gr8

Hey Garry! I have a? whole slew of videos to help understand this necessity of tilting; they have all the answers you are looking for; see "golf pro lesson learn your golf machine" to start; then see "golf pro lesson..." "...proper spine tilt angle", "...braced tilt part 1 and 2" and then "...tilted spiral part 1, 2 and 3"; the light will probably come on in the Braced tilt part 2 but you should watch them all as they all have some solid nuggets to help.

By: granty1954. on 11 Feb 10, 11:59:28
Hi Shawn. On the behind swing camera shot, it looks like the shoulders are slighty closed to the target line after you brace the left side. Is that an optical illusion or a correct position as the brace places to shoulders in that way. At this? time, i find my brace is unfortunatelt opening my shoulders and i dont know how to stop that alignment issue. Thanx for all the videos, they are a mssive help. Garry from UK

By: clemshaw. on 11 Feb 10, 03:23:40
The longer the club, the more centrifugal force will result and the more important the positioning of this brace! 14 clubs-1 golf swing! :) Thank you for the comment and? kind words! Shawn

There is so much ...
By: clemshaw. on 11 Feb 10, 03:22:09
There is so much momentum exploding to the target on the follow through and if the brace is solid against the left side, there is no other place for the momentum to? go but up! So the arm-club unit levitates up the chest as it gets pulled away from the body towards the target and the head gets pulled up and lifts the whole spine in the process; if you do not allow this to happen, you will get pulled out onto your toes and will not be able to finish the swing and clear completely....

Shawn, this video came at the right time. I must say I have always respected your approach to the game.

shawn, you're a genius! I'm 15 and play off roughly 12, when i kill a driver it often goes no more than 220 yards with a large fade. I popped up to the course after school and used the? idea of swing to a target and not to the ball, i hit 7 drives out of 8 tha easily cleared 250 yards! I've just got one question: when will Tiger be calling you up? thanks so much for all the effort you put into your videos. Cheers from England, Sean.

By: Westernap222. on 14 Mar 11, 02:05:28
Shawn - another goodie, I look forward videos so much that I check daily! I think I finally found my feel for awesome compression. I feel like I hold the vertical swing plane angle with the shaft the same well past impact (clubhead lagging of course) - leads to a higher finish for me and keeps my ball flight from starting left. I now? feel a target bound action (not the ball) as you say w/o crashing, I didn't feel them until I came up with what I describe above.

The reason why the ...
By: clemshaw. on 13 Mar 11, 19:01:58
The reason why the swing plane was too flat in the first place is because of the body being in the way in the backswing and causing the arms to crash and wrap around the chest; from there, there is no way through the golf ball to the target; if the ball is no longer in the way of you swinging to the target, then the ball BECOMES? THE TARGET; you are then toast. Shawn

By: 123GPA. on 13 Mar 11, 16:12:17
good video the thing that has helped my OTT was making the hip turn as my first move to start the downswing. If I make a good back swing and the just think of turning the left hip back and then focus? on the target the OTT goes away. Secondly i beleive if your weight is on your toes at address instead of the middle your heals that will lead to OTT on the downswing and restrict your left hip turn.

By: pkochano. on 13 Mar 11, 15:51:32
As always, a great video. Do you think OTT can also be caused by swing plane? I've heard other instructors talk about OTT being caused by a very flat swing plane that results in? the right shoulder moving out to start the downswing as a way of compensating.

Hi shawn, My wife and I went to see the Shell Houston Open the last year it was held at the Woodlands. One the first day of the tournament we sat in some small grand stand that was placed in front of the driving range waiting for Fred Couples(my hero) to come out and practice. In about 30 minutes of practice, Fred left a range divot of about 8 to 10 inches in length. It seemed at though everytime he placed a ball down in the back of the divot, that he would barely? nick the spot under the ball.

Good question! ...
By: clemshaw. on 10 Feb 11, 19:02:06
Good question! When you are sending the action to a target through the ball,? the average launch angle of a 6 iron is 16 degrees; the average loft of the 6 iron is 30 degrees; the 5 iron and driver have about the same launch...it is the spin rate and club speed that make the difference; Shawn

What he is probably seeing is in my "where to park? the head video" and after you have mastered this, all you need to do is focus on a nice action through the ball and towards the target; you will see that your head will naturally want to stay back when you are focused on the feel of an effortless yet powerful release to the target like in my "throwing the club" video and my "fencing for power" video; most important is how you observe after the shot: see "mental baseball game for golf" video!

There is a huge progression of videos that follow this one emncaity and TheNYgolfer; one very important one is the "Ridiculously easy golf; shawn clement" video and after seeing that it is just a matter of feeling the right release? towards the target which you can get from "Fishing and golf", "Hammer through", "Farm Hammer", and my latest, "Fencing for power release and width"; WE ARE WIRED AND ANATOMICALLY DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS IN GOLF! :)

By: emncaity. on 03 Feb 12, 08:24:13
Also (since I'm in this thread now), for what it's worth, I've always thought (and taught this way) that the problem? with the "flip" wasn't that the hands were releasing, but that the arms had stopped moving or were trying to decelerate dramatically. As long as the supporting mechanisms of the arms, torso, and legs are moving the right way, your hands can release plenty hard, and it won't be--or look like--a "flip."

For what it's worth ...
By: emncaity. on 03 Feb 12, 07:06:32
For what it's worth, Leadbetter also teaches the slight cup in the wrist? at the top, for essentially the same reasons--because he doesn't want people manipulating the club with the hands and wrists on the way back. I also agree that straining for a superflat left (or lead) wrist at the top actually can hurt the ability to release freely through the bottom half of the swing, particularly where the flatness involves a closed or hooded clubface.

Don't get me wrong. ...
By: emncaity. on 03 Feb 12, 07:02:38
Don't get me wrong...I'm not misreading your post, and I? know you're clearly advocating the lead wrist ahead and no flipping. I'm just saying that the "less distance" thing doesn't actually pan out that way for any player I can name, especially if we're talking about average distance and consistency of distance.

I'm not saying this ...
By: emncaity. on 03 Feb 12, 07:01:32
I'm not saying this lightly, either. I experimented for a very long time (even in competition) with? a much more deliberate release of the hands that was designed to time the moment of release exactly at the back of the ball, with the butt end slowed down almost to nothing. Even practicing it constantly, it was hard to do. Once in a while you'd kill one, but then, once in a while you kill one with the lead wrist ahead, too.

By: emncaity. on 03 Feb 12, 06:59:24
NY, you know I usually like your stuff, but I have to disagree with you here on the distance question. It seems to me that not only in clinical practice, but also in hard research by people like Cochran and Stobbs, the energy transfer to the ball is so much more efficient and the? contact so much more consistently near the sweet spot that nearly every player gets _better_ distance from the lead wrist firm through impact and the clubhead trying to catch up.

I'm a big fan of your videos. I been trying? to make better contact with my Irons and stumbled upon this video. I noticed that at the top of my backswing, my left wrist is cupped. So much so that my knuckles seem to be coming up much closer to the top of my forearm. Would this be a big problem for solid contact with my irons? I have had problems with the shanks before and am wondering if I maybe need to work on flattening my wrist at the top of the backswing.

By: Mollineaux. on 11 Jan 12, 19:48:31
Thanks for responding Shawn and I certainly wouldn't question your take on this at all. All I have is my own? experience, and since ensuring a flat/slightly bowed left wrist at the start of the downswing, my irons have been crisper, more predictable and accurate. I am sure you could have identified/fixed my previous swing problems( a tendency to come from outside in for one) without reference to my cupped left wrist, but for me a change in wrist angle has helped mightily. Best wishes.

By: clemshaw. on 11 Jan 12, 13:44:02
If your action is to a target through the ball, your have no choice but to have a bowed or flat wrist at impact, and you won't even have to think about it either! like I said to Ny golfer, you load a fishing pole, a tennis serve, a football throw, a baseball swing with the same hinging action...let's see you keep? the wrist flat in a fishing cast...you would look and feel like a dufus...but in a golf swing, those who are strong enough can handle it; I deal with the other 95%

By: clemshaw. on 11 Jan 12, 13:26:04
There are so many things you just don't get about timing New York; if your grip-club is dynamically square and your action is towards a target and not the ball, YOU WILL GET THE FLAT OR BOWED WRIST AT IMPACT WITH HANDS AHEAD; see "ridiculously easy; shawn", "strike it pure; shawn", "hammer through; shawn", "Farm hammer; shawn" and many more; we are? anatomically designed and wired for it for 2 million years and counting; we do it for fishing, hammering, tennis...open your mind!

By: clemshaw. on 11 Jan 12, 13:17:55
If you are strong enough, great! I have a couple athletic students who loose their way mentally if they don't start and keep the back of the left wrist? bowed or straight during the swing; so keep at what you are doing; it is plenty sound. I, as a teacher see a huge majority in the other direction because it is not only more efficient anatomically, it is more powerful for the average man, woman, junior as it gets every once of power AND THEY STILL GET FLAT AT IMPACT NATURALLY!

There always is a ...
By: TheNYgolfer. on 11 Jan 12, 01:03:14
There always is a trade off in golf between distance and accuracy. A flat (or slightly bowed) left wrist is a MUST at impact. A flat left wrist at the top requires minimal forearm rotation to arrive flat at impact. This minimizes timing issues. Yes you will not be able to cock the left wrist as much and therefor you will give up distance but the payoff is accuracy."Flipping" the club through impact requires? TREMENDOUS timing,which the average golfer does not have due to lack of practice time.

By: Mollineaux. on 07 Jan 12, 10:39:11
Really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful and informative. However perhaps I could just say in respect of Hogan that although he had a cupped left wrist at the top, his first move with his hands down was to flatten the wrist and also drop his right elbow towards his right hip as a result. One of the best ball strikers ever, Lee Trevino, certainly had no cup at? the top.

hey I have struggled with the grip alot and iam finnaly on my way, if you have the? proper grip your wrist will automaticlly be in the right postion.pretty sure and shawn can comment, the amount of "stronge or weak grip" will determine how much cup/flat there will be in the wrist at the top of the swing. you dont want to be manipulating wrsite action during the swing. this may work at the range cause its all timing but on the course thats a different story.

Sorry Shawn. Can't go with you on this. If I don't keep my left wrist flat I lose power and slice. The flat left wrist is one of the anchors of my swing.? I can swing "against" it at full speed confident it will go straight (enough) and long

Hey Gyro; This is ...
By: clemshaw. on 09 May 11, 01:56:36
Hey Gyro; This is because your? grip is too weak to begin with; address and impact are very different and the video you need to watch is "weak grip or strong grip; shawn clement" it will explain a lot! BTW, the wrists cup slightly but don't COLLAPSE; if the left wrist cups too much or collapses, the right wrist will not be in it's proper hinged position; Shawn

By: slinger2k8. on 01 May 12, 10:29:16
Hi Shawn I have a problem whereby at the start of my downswing I am dropping the club excessively on the inside. This is leading to shots? out of the heel and even quite a few shanks. It causes my head to pop up before impact and my butt to fall into the shot. My backswing is on plane and is neither flat nor steep. My handicap is 5. Any tips please?

By: Isykul. on 23 Jan 12, 11:23:31
I think you make a great point around the 8.39 mark about the body not moving and the arms coming from outside to in which is what I found myself inadvertantly doing on short wedge shots. I? felt I was doing nothing wrong until I saw my club tracking on a golf simulator, with wedge coming in at 45 degrees to the ball which then squirted out to the right. Of course, once this starts to happen, tension creeps in and makes it worse. With a full wedge, I had not problem, playing like a normal shot.

By: headlesssoldier. on 17 Jun 11, 20:19:03
i was exactly the same way..and tried EVERYTHING. Do this: hit small shots with a head cover under your right arm armpit. what i discovered was that a shank results from losing your balance on the downswing. (ie, not moving through the shot). The pinned right arm will force your right elbow down and will make? you have to turn your shoulder away. it will also make you feel a connected take away.

By: sbosch22. on 30 Jun 10, 13:07:33
I've been shanking off and on now for over 8 years. Very FRUSTRATING. One day I can shoot an 80 and the next a 110. If I swing really easy and hold the club like an egg in my hand the results are straight , but I lose? the distance. Example: I usually hit my 7 iron 165 -170 on a good day. When the shanks arrive I try and swing easy as mentioned, but now I'm hitting my 7 only 130 tops. I can't tell if I'm leaning into the ball or not releasing the club and leading the hosel to the ball. Help!!!!!!

By: helenathena. on 02 Feb 10, 23:32:02
very informative, the golf fix says the same thing and Micheal Breed is an expert and you had a tad bit more information than him. its very important to keep you body and head level the same through the shot because u stand up your screwed and tiger use to do that many times before he really go this swing perfect, also to keep your body posture through the shot. but i have also study my swing and theres one? more thing

By: clemshaw. on 01 Feb 10, 01:11:26

By: fireatheaven. on 20 Nov 09, 09:50:11
Hi Clemshaw, My swing flaw is unfortunately thrusting my right? hip towards the ball. (maybe you could confirm or correct me on this) which gives my swing a tendancy to force the hosel nearer to the ball. unless I raise up and release early, (I think!). I have struggled with this and bouts of shanking which has devestated my feel and striking confidence. I seem to be able to maintain posture in practice swings but the dynamics of hitting the ball make me lose posture.

By: clemshaw. on 04 May 12, 19:05:54
Long irons are about the same distance; mid irons the fade is a 1/2 club less and short irons are 1 club less with the fade; sand and lob wedge can be more; it all has to do with launch angle and loft! 6 iron has average 16 degrees of launch on the PGA tour which is just a bit higher? than the driver!

Your body recognises how? you're pointing in the wrong direction to the target, so it tries to correct it on your down-swing my trying to push the ball to the centre of the fairway. Hope this helps

The face of the club is in the same alignment as Irons, directly adjacent to the shaft.

More an element to fine tune. What is so cool is how high my iron shots go & how clean I can hit 'em with your drill. In 7 iron, 100 ball practice from 170 to guarded a postage? stamp green, prep for the NCGA Senior Qualifier, it was great to not have to depend on a 7 wood, great to see the ball stop on the green. I missed the cut by 1 stroke. Still I hit some balsy shots and defeated 47 golfers. Need to build confidence but thanks to you I looked pretty darn good out there. Thank you, Shawn.

Now my problem is distance control. Where I used to use my 48 degree wedge I use my 56 for the same shot. My irons shots climb and accelerate like magic. My driver and 3 woods have each gained amazing distance. I want to add, I do not swing nearly as hard? as I used to but when I do WOW!!! Thank You!

By: clemshaw. on 05 Dec 11, 03:23:04
There are other things at work here that I can't see; bottom line is that you hit the ball the way you want to with the driver; you are definitely not in a bad position the way you are now so don't worry about it; this set up is still for the majority of golfers who are accustomed to FACING THE BALL WITH THE DRIVER which causes them to cut across and pop fly the? ball; Shawn

Hi Shawn Enjoy your teaching. Struggling with this video. I draw the ball naturally and started using this video to hit the driver. However I started to badly hook the ball every 4th drive. Went to see the local pro and he moved my club to behind the ball instead of that distance you have between club and ball. This has stopped the hook and given me a? nice booming drive.

Shawn, You're the only instructor? I've ever heard talk about how to calm down after blowing a gasket redlining at the driving range. I almost wish the range were private so I wouldn't have random strangers to try to impress with distance. LOL!! Thanks for all your videos. In your opinion, can someone ever permanently overcome the tendency to rush the downswing for distance or will we always struggle?

By: skwon11. on 20 Mar 11, 03:40:22
Shawn, Great vid. The funny this is, in doing the drill, I can't hit a 7 iron 75 yards. Free and easy aiming for a 75 yard flag it goes 125. Great and funny all at? the same time. Of interest to me... I can do this with the driver and consistently as anything else, can get the ball to travel 200 yards... straight as an arrow. It's like having another club in the bag! Thanks again for the vids!

By: yanks4everontop420. on 28 May 10, 14:45:58
Hey Shawn, I've been watching a lot of your videos and they have helped? me so much. Really my only problem is that maybe a 3rd of the time I push the ball out to the right. I hit it perfectly straight (no hook/draw/slice/fad) but it just starts out on a line to the right. What are the usual causes for pushes like this?

Great question!! ...
By: clemshaw. on 13 Feb 10, 03:57:11
Great question!! The intensity of the backswing should be the same as when you go to your finish with the arms out in front of you and then let them fall into the backswing; feel how when you let the body turn out of the way, you feel? a nice little pop about 1/4 into the backswing when your left hand crosses over the right hand and the wrists hinge upwards; see "golf pro lesson timing and tempo update" Shawn

By: mjs0039. on 12 Feb 10, 12:08:04
Hi Shawn I am using the drill(at 6:23) to start the back swing even when playing. I hope it is not against the rules. However to be able to use inertia and to use the body? to lift the arms, I feel that my backs wing is not the slowest or even slow. If it is slow I am not able to let the arms get lifted. How do you think I can have a slower backswing for better tempo and rythm. My ball striking is certainly better than befor even with the faster back swing.Thanks.

By: mattc1170. on 11 Nov 09, 22:13:23
Shawn: I have a question about ball flight in the tempo drill you describe here. When taking a full backswing and hitting the ball 50%, 75%, etc of the full distance of your club, should this drill result in a push (or push slice) of the ball? If my understanding of shaft flex is correct, if we're using clubs with properly fitted shafts, swinging deliberately slower will result in the clubface staying open at impact. I just want to know make sure I'm doing? this drill right..

He also told me that i need a "pause" when i finish my back swing, and then downswing, because what? i tend to do is i straight away do the downswing even before i finish my back swing, i am just asking if there is a drill out there for this type of problem.

Shawn, all of your videos are great. I basically intented to quit the game, or at least forget any real improvement. I found your videos. This one is very good. I watched videos for about a week that helped me understand what i call Toss-plant-Fall feeling the weight. I practiced hitting into a net for a week . I took that swing to a? practice tee and then to the course. What an unbelievable transformation! Gone now are the multiple random thoughts about position and lag and etc. I owe you.

I honestly started golfing this year so I don't' know much about swing planes or any of the like. But I know that if I do your perpetual motion 3 swing drill and watch the club path with each swing while combining it with feeling like I'm throwing the club towards the target, it helps me forget about the ball while getting? my distance to ball right. There is alot to be said about instinct and trusting what feels right, given the result is what you expected. Thanks for all the help.

By: larrybud. on 14 Feb 11, 03:36:40
I'm not sure I buy this. If it was true, there would be only 1 perfect plane for each player. But as we know from seeing? swing changes from the top players in the world, they're perfectly able to hit the ball well with drastically different swing planes.

I hate to tell the golf channel, but Hank, Butch, and Foley are completely overrated!! Their methods may be great? for pros who have been swinging since they were in diapers. Your method is amazingly effective for someone like me who didnt touch a club until 21 yrs of age. My hndcp is down to 3 and I will be scratch by next season!! Thanks!

I actually took a pencil and put it on the "ball" position and on the club head at the top of your swing to? verify this.

By: wardn53. on 16 Nov 10, 01:40:31
Shawn I watched the Axe swing video from the dvd. It seems I misunderstood the relaxed arms from other videos. The way I understand it now is it is a relaxed arm club unit where the right arm maintains the angle on the down swing. If I think of swinging an axe then I feel like I start the swing with more of my body while my arms fall in front of me but as a unit where my right arm is bent with elbow tucked in a little. It feels and sounds better when? I hit into the net. Does this sound correct?

Awesome observation bluejfk; but no reason to get amped up! LOL! When yu are focused on using THE WEIGHT OF THE ARM AND HAMMER UNIT, either right or left handed, the results will be the same; your body has to get out of the way in both directions to allow that weight to be used; this is why I say to try it for yourself with a nice heavy rubber mallet...and you don't even have to physically hit anything with it either; your brain can feel how it will? happen!

By: bluejfk. on 15 Nov 10, 14:42:56
Normally I sawllow the coolaid with Shawns videos but with this one I can't. The reason is that when I am amped upI have? a tendancy of pulling the club ahead of the body turn in the backswing. Here is the issue you can take a hammer with your right hand to the top position without moving your body since it is already out of the way. What has worked for me to cure my bback swing ills is to do this same thing backhanded. To get my left hand up there my body has to get out of the way.

Shawn, I have to admit after watching this video I now realize that I never properly understood your "arms falling" concept. I just could not get how your arms fall, not vertically, but rather down the swing plane. Now it makes perfect sense. I just now went? out back and hit some balls into my net and it all seems so easy now. Can't wait to try it out on the course. Cheers and all the best.

Now you are talking ...
By: clemshaw. on 14 Nov 10, 13:53:36
Now you are talking! This is? why I love Geoff Mangum's body of work; it is so extensive...but it comes full circle to allow you to get out of your own way and let the putter ride that little wave of momentum through the ball towards the spot you want to roll your ball over or the hole you want to roll into. See his website and use his (and my) resources this winter to putt lights out next spring! Putting zone is the name of his website...

Shawn, I got your DVD for Christmas - the chip shot section, as you also show here - is outstanding. I don't know why more golfers don't hit their short shots like this. I practiced and what is amazing is that it helps me go from being "mechanical" to "feeling" the short shot. Which = relaxation and straight nice accurate? chips.

Shawn indicated ...
By: theestrogenius. on 28 Aug 08, 05:30:59
Shawn indicated that he didn't need to hit a particularly high shot from this lie. Also, trajectory depends more on ball position, and less on the extent to which one exaggerates the "lower case y." Notice how Shawn plays? the ball more towards the middle of his stance. This will give him the ideal (low, but not too low) ball flight for this shot. If he played it off his left toe, the ball would launch at a steeper angle, flying further, and stopping sooner (possibly even spinning back).

By: gojipoj. on 15 Feb 12, 20:19:33
Hi Shawn, I have the tendency to hit a strong fade, which looks like a weak slice, if that makes sense. The ball starts going in the middle than strays to the right. Not all the time though, but when I go for the big drives it mostly happens, at 85% power they are straighter. I address the ball about an inch behind the ball with my driver and I think? that my shoulders are not parallel to the target, so it s like a outside in swing. Any help or suggestions will be great.

Moe Norman was the best driver ever and placed his even farther back than mine; if you look at many other tour players like Fred Couples and Tom Kite and many others on the regular tour, what they do is have the hands well behind the ball at address which leans the shaft backwards away from the target; Shawn

Hi shawn , on the last ball you hit on this video how would you explain keeping everything sqaure to the target at impact as there must be a point when the club head starts to turn in and come round the body...Is this done by a lateral sway towards the target? ....im asking by the way because i hit my irons very well from a centre position but as soon as the driver comes out ,its meltdown time .... great video,s by the way ..thanks

Shawn, I'm not sure if you answered this or not, but is this a drill or do you? setup this way on the course? If it's a drill how do you eventually get to the point where you're setting the driver directly behind the ball? I did try this at the range the other day and it really seemed to work. I got much better contact and ball flight. Thank you for your excellent videos.

Shawn, I was about to give the game up after a few seasons of very bad golf. I was frustrated with these "swing gurus" and their method of teaching,? i always felt like I was fighting myself to get into or out of these "must be in positions". Your teaching methods have me swinging the club like never before. You've become my go to swing coach and practice friend. Thanks, Shawn

By: clemshaw. on 08 Feb 12, 12:09:27
I have done some martial arts; they did a show on sports science that used force plate technology like we have here at the club called dynamic Balance system and demonstrated that the punch starts from the? ground up; imagine if you were raised off the ground from a harness around your chest, could you throw a punch or a ball with any power? Of course not! See "Create serious speed; shawn clement" and "horse shoes and lassos; shawn clement" videos for more and get on my forum too!

hah thanks but i actually was asking if this concept can be used in punching or kicking lol. Because i know that all sports and other kinesthetic motion is all used the same way: using your whole bodyweight o produce power. So im watching golf videos as well as other lectures on other sports just on that one question: how do you use your bodyweight or your hips to throw a baseball, punch, or even swing a golf club?! Ive? been trying ot find the answer but nothin. Do you know?

By: clemshaw. on 07 Feb 12, 20:51:55
A powerful punch is a great image to use when working on your? swing. (For a right handed player) While in your golf posture, try snapping a punch straight back (away from target) with your left hand. This will help you feel the body getting out of the way, and the arms staying in front of the chest in the backswing. Then reverse to feel it in the follow through! Hope that helps. Matt Blois

By: justjames1111. on 13 May 11, 17:13:29
Hi Shawn, Thanks for the advice. Can I just ask you your thoughts on a related matter. A number of pro's e.g Jack Nicklaus had/have a certain swing thought, such a 'complete the backswing'? or 'pull the handle down towards the ball' etc.. how do you think they would combine this with a target focus, as Dr Karl Morris has stated similarly to yourself that you can only focus on one thing during your swing. Regards James

Exactly! If you ...
By: clemshaw. on 13 May 11, 02:50:17
Exactly! If you have a ball in front of you and you are not focused on your target, then you make the ball the target by default; never let this happen!! I don't have 2 million years to show you that one! Use the practice swing to get the feel of the whip or swat you want with the flavour you need; fade, draw, low, high, firm, smooth always effortless and free? of any strain. Then use the feel to deliver to the target when the ball is there! Shawn

Hi Shawn, You ...
By: justjames1111. on 09 May 11, 09:55:00
Hi Shawn, You got my grey matter working now. Just so I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that when I'm on course doing my practice swings I should think/focus on the mechanics e.g. Keep head behind ball, don't go too far inside etc. but when I actually address the ball I should stop that and just focus on the shot I want? Also, that I should do the same at the range, or doing some of your recommended drills, and switch to target focus instead when I actually have a ball? to hit?

Not only? at the ...
By: clemshaw. on 09 May 11, 01:51:51
Not only? at the range but also in the rehearsal swings only or when you are doing a specific drill like feet together or one leg; when the ball is present, you should not focus on something that will take the target out while you are hitting the ball; this will not result in anything productive! All of our drills that involve striking a golf ball must include a target and an action to a target with a simple observation after the fact to be aware of how close we got...

i think what shawn said about the thin contact is very important. you take it and move on, rather than thinking about insane things like how your swing lines up on peter kostis' konica minolta bizhub swingvision analysis. this happened to me yesterday. i was stuck behind slow players, and when? i finally had a chance to hit my ball i was anxious. my last tee shot of the day, par 3, i caught heavy, so i decided to hit it again. the next ball was flushed pure and stopped 7 feet from the pin.

By: ansinkhh. on 29 Sep 10, 13:05:46
Everyone please listen to Shawn! Today front 9, I shanked like crazy. But, in the back? 9, I said "This is ridiculous." and then it reminded me of this video. Then every shot I took, Shawn's voice would overpower my thoughts: "make it ridiculously easy, effortless swing, your ball is a blur". I let go of the throttle and made sure everything was just easy. Shots were shorter but crisp and "straight". I saved $30 of balls and scored 51 vs 60+ in the front 9. Thanks Shawn! Now about power..

Shawn, I got to say I am really starting to by in to your teaching, your swing looks so efortless. One? question that I hope you are able to answer. I was at the range working on this rythmic efortless swing and found myself either hitting fat or slicing and I cant figure out why. I do have some decent shots but I find that if I dont try to address the flaw and just swing, it gets worse. Any help would be awesome. I am really trying to learn your teachin, your awesome.

By: clemshaw. on 11 Nov 10, 04:39:54
Hey Tony! Remember when you applied the push for a kid on aswing? On the way down right? So here, it is the same...the garage door analogy is much more for finishing the backswing and the hammer drill is for FEELING THE WEIGHT OF THE HAMMER RELEASE ITSELF? PAST THE BALL; now imagine a whiffle ball in the way of the hammer, no need to brace the grip pressure for impact there; then imagine a basketball, grip pressure just jumped through the roof! Golf ball is somewhere in between.

Shawn, Great ...
By: AKADRIVEN. on 08 Nov 10, 21:40:11
Shawn, Great concept, but I'm confused. Do the arms activlely pull down the club, or are the arms quiet pulled down by the torso through the ball, or do both actively pull? I've tried to facilitate the "Door" move by drawing my right elbow back on the backswing, and then pulling it down in the downswing. Is that a good idea? Also, in the hammer anology, does the wrist physically hammer the ball at impact, like when hammering a nail or? are they passive? Thanks, Tony from Pinehurst

By: clemshaw. on 19 Oct 10, 21:11:29
You have seen in my videos through my swings how long that back foot stays down; it is an integral part of a swing that is balanced with stacked joints that are braced against the forward side; which means that the tilt of the upper spine has to be supported with the back leg and ankle and the lower spine is supported inside? the front leg and ankle. So I would have to say good work! :) Shawn

Hi Shawn...you replied to one of my posts a while back about the weight shift for a lower leg amputee. I would be interested in your opinion on keeping the back foot flat through impact. ? I came upon this by accident before a round and it instantly cured my nasty push shot. It feels uncomfortable to me right now, but I hit the ball so much straighter I have to think I may have found something. I'd like to hear what you think about this with respect to the downswing thru impact. Thanks, Rick

By: MrMbroder. on 13 Oct 10, 15:13:19
I took the analogy out for a second spin at the range yesterday. first ball 6 iron flew to 190 yards (normal was 170). I decided to really feel the heavy door come down. Next shot flew over the 200 marker and mound. 210 with range ball? Incredible. It makes me feel like I am planted into the ground before the whip. I tried it with 8 iron same? result. Normal was 140. With garage door move 170 with no wind. When I reached limit shot dispersion grew so I simply throttled down. Thanks Shawn.

After I adjusted I shot 37 on back with a poor short game. I gained roughly 15 yards per club and was spinning wedges. Weird. Hammer analogy made me feel energy went out but garage door analogy made me feel down and then out towards target with energy. BTW handicap is 13 from 20? since watching videos in 6 mos.

Shawn, my long time inner game coach Fred Shoemaker has used this drill for decades. I began working with him in 1984 and as far as I know he had already been using the throwing the club drill at that point. He wrote about it in his book Extraordinary? Golf. I am sure others have used it for a long time as well. Greg McHatton uses it, however I am unsure for how long. I guess people will like to argue who did it first, however I feel that is unimportant.

If you fight gravity by keeping your body rigid to prevent knees from extending and heads from bobbing up and down, then you are asking for worse! Plug yourself? into the force man!! I show my students everyday how to hit the head off a pin! Compared to that, the ball is huge! Shawn

Shawn: Thanks a million for another great video. Is the idea in the backswing to do this to avoid snathing the club inside? And also to, as you say, give the club freely to gravity?

This is very good as always. I have been known to shank short irons and I agree its because the head moves forward. I think that the sensation of keeping head behind the ball leads to a fear of a high shot. Maybe Shawn could? comment on that. I have shanked in the past because my hands are way forward and my head is wanting to move forward to make sure I stay over the ball in an attempt to keep it low and hit down on it. This wrong swing logic leads to shanks as Shawn shows.

@4armSmash Just to add to this comment; have a look at my "How the arms and club release" and "Hitting the ball is not your job" videos; for those of you who do not understand the feel of it; they would be very important videos to watch; will definitely make a difference in? your ball striking!

Agree with ss02guy, Shawn makes it look so easy, but at the range or in my yard, very little seems to go correct..I thought the tips and drills would finally? help , but so far I am still hopeless..thanks for the video's tho, Shawn..

It is out there already called "Downhill Chip Yips; Shawn Clement";? and see also "How to feel the short swing; Shawn Clement" and "Short Game Chipping; Shawn Clement"; I also gave a nice answer to another gentleman on my forum today on this very subject! So go see it on my website's forum! Shawn

By: ss02guy. on 23 Sep 10, 02:02:42
@Shawn I love your videos. I've been trying to implement your techniques. I went to the range tonight and had mixed results. I basically hit three different shots. Either it would be an excellent shot long down the middle, a pull hook, or a shank. I'm hoping next time I go to the range the drill in this video will fix it. Any other ideas why these might happen? Also, I've noticed on my downswing I get? out over my toes at impact and follow-through. (even though I try not to) Ideas?

Shawn, you always ...
By: jerry5a1. on 21 Jul 10, 05:53:15
Shawn, you always hit the slot on the downswing perfectly. Any advice for us chronic over-the-top swingers on how to get to that position where the club flattens out and bisects your forearm?? p.s. a slot video would be great! there are none on youtube

Shawn, was that your daughter delivering the practice balls? If so, nice touch, as she was your aide in the "head steady" video of two years earlier. ? Just noticed this a year late. These details, even when accidental, help reinforce continuity of your lessons. Great stuff.

Wow! Keeping the ...
By: Texmatt21. on 10 May 10, 09:42:09
Wow! Keeping the head steady has been phenomenal for my game. I've been attempting the feet together drill and the one leg drill and have been losing my balance because my head was following? the club. Now that I keep my head steady, I feel rock steady and the club actually pops in front of and behind the ball every single time! It's amazing how the tiniest things can have such a huge impact on the golf swing.

By: brmiau. on 11 Dec 09, 10:38:00
shawn, the steady head part to this video is possibly the best advice ive seen... i've managed to play rounds in the high 70's, then the next week it'll be in the 90's due to swing tinkering. the last couple of rounds and at the range ive hit the ball with only one swing thought, keeping my head behind the ball. amazing!! ive always known it, but never really paid much attention to it. its definately the key!!!? thanks soo much!

Shawn, I really enjoy your videos, please keep up the good work for all of our sakes! I tend to shank my short irons after hitting my driver (well) for a lengthy period of time. Any idea? what causes this? Is it the same reasons as listed in this video? Thanks again - you are one of the best teachers out there!

Right on! It is so much fun and rewarding to? learn and be aware of what is going on with your swing and then making the adjustment successfully! Way to go! Shawn

After 6 years of not quite getting what the swing is all about, I re-watched your videos and saw that I? was taking the club way inside and sliding towards the ball. Fixed! Thanks Shawn.

By: clemshaw. on 27 Sep 09, 03:01:09
Yes! Have a look at my "golf pro lesson feet together drill" and then the "golf pro lesson one leg swing no weightshift"? for starters; then "one leg part 2" and finish with "Golf Pro lesson tilted spiral" part 1, 2 and 3; this will get you on the right track big time! Shawn

By: tfdoke. on 25 Sep 09, 12:06:10
Ya, exactly. Just wrap it around the shaft near the head and tie a knot. It makes it heavier and the towel catches wind resistance to make you use your hips more along with strengthening your core muscles. Tie the towel do 25 swings with the towel on there and then take it off? and swing and feel how much easier it is to swing...I hope you give it a try.

can you explain how ...
By: bossman96. on 25 Sep 09, 01:21:43
can you explain how you tie the towel? Do you mean tie it to the head? to make the driver more massive i.e. harder to get moving?

Shawn, Your videos ...
By: dkostecki001. on 17 Sep 09, 19:57:55
Shawn, Your videos are the greatest! I'm about a 7 handicap with a horrible and recurring case of the shanks. It always seems to happen when I'm playing well. I believe its because I'm sliding the hips instead of turning and clearing. This video is really helpful? in turns of emphasizing the turn. My only issue when thinking about not sliding the hips is a feeling of not getting my weight off the back foot. Any advice? Thanks again!
