Hey there Shawn. I just started watching your vids a couple of months ago. You are by far the best golf instructor on the net. I like to keep things simple and you make the seemingly complicated so simple. Very informative and entertaining! Thank you, Savv and Mu. You guys are awesome!
Long time follower Shawn. I lost track of your page over the years and found it again. It's amazing how natural the progression of the swing and the swing thought is with your teachings. I recently changed to a low tee and my exact thought was hit this like a fairway wood. Boom! Started hitting my driver at least 20 yards farther and straighter. Now when I do tee high, I still gain distance, but the swing thought just naturally progressed with my game following what you taught from years ago.
I was really sceptical about Shawn's message about facing the club and not the ball etc. when I first starting watching this channel. That was becasue all the 'good' players I watched did not seem to do this. Anyway to cut a long story short I adopted Shawn's methodolgy and have not driven the ball longer, more consistently and 'as wanted' i.e. hit it high or low as the situation demanded ever. I also learnt why those 'good' players also had a few choice words when the 'wheels fell off' after 2 or 3 holes. This WIG stuff is magic! Keep up the good work S!!
I like the way your videos show the position of your head behind the ball at address,this is very useful and has helped me personally as it provides a good reference point at set up too.
Hi Shawn, I was scrolling through looking for one of your bunker videos and came across this video. I don't know how I missed it, but WOW!!🤯. Aiming high above a target tree for the high tee worked perfectly and using my fence for the low tee perfect also. Like you said, no way could I hit the lower tee swinging at the high trees no matter how I tried but hit it every time swinging at the fence. Thanks for this video. I can't wait to try it on the range/ course.
Great video! I love the part when you talk about picking the height of the shot, and Moe Norman's comment about focusing on height (vertical), eliminates any lateral focus. Vertical focus/flight plan, instead of lateral thoughts.
Glad you appreciated the mention! I learned so much from Moe, very grateful and will never stop talking about the man. He left quite the mark and standard for us!
Thanks for the video.. is hitting up on the ball only for newer drivers. Mines about 10 15 years old and when I try it it's either a knuckle ball or dives hard down to the right (left handed)
There have been too many advances to count in today’s drivers compared to 10 years ago; 5 years ago many are still just as good; but over 10 we need to go shopping…
Great video, Shawn. When I look at the set-up, it appears that the only difference is ball position. For high shot, the ball is more towards the heel, half of the ball is above the club head, and the Club is at the center of the stance. with a closed stance. For low shot, it appears everything is the same, except the ball is now just off-of the club face and the ball is level with the club head. Am I correct?
Great video Shawn it has transformed my game, esp driving, following your videos, and I see your 112mph clubhead speed. I am an athletic 40 something guy and can not get my speed over 100 on launch monitor despite following all your tips. Any advice, drills or exercises you can recommend to get me closer to 300yard/110+ mph with driver? Thanks, keep up great work!
Hello Shawn! I really love your videos and after a few month where I „tried“ other things in my golf game in order to get more consistent I‘m coming back to you, cause now I start to understand what your advices and tips really mean. By far one of the best teachers out there, unfortunately thousands of miles away from where I am. My question Shawn is regarding the driver especially: is there a chance you could make a video one day where you show us in detail the complete setup. What I mean is, I understand you have a closed stance, I know you have a strong grip with a slightly closed clubface (Sav and Moe even very strong and I estimate pretty closed) , I think at address your clubface aims in direction of the target (?) and your initial swing path is in direction of the intermediate target. I‘d love to see a video where we could see that in detail, with some close ups of the club head and even more appreciated if we could see that from a top view. I wish you all the best for 2022 and many thanks for your great work!
Hi Thomas! Thank you for the nice comment! What you need to do is head to our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com (only $9.95 per month) where you will find my life’s work in multiple camera views with several of the videos with drone views. Type “Driver” in the search box and watch them all! 😀👍
Looking forward to trying this. It didn't look like the position in stance changed much ? That's a lot more variation in tee height than I normally use. Thanks
Ball position is different for the hi and low shot. Ball for hi drive forward in stance, tilt so can strike up on ball. lo drive is more inside heel(center/balance feel).. for sweeping turf motion. Teeing hi just aids in being able to swing up on the ball, chipping tee if ball wasn't there(would just top it if tee'd low).
When I work the tips in this video I must be leaving the club face open. I checked some slow motion video's and my body position closely mimics yours in the vid, but I wind up hitting a ball that starts straight out and fades/slices to the right about 150 yards after launch.......I just cant seem to close the face, and I have no clue how to get there with this particular set up. The only consistent thing about my drive with this set up is my ball landing on the adjoining fairway. LONG, but still on a different hole. Darn it, I wanted this to work for me, too.
Hey Joe! See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” and “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” and the first video in our “consistency series” and “the goldie locks series” on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com Most Golfers have no idea what closing the club face means; have you turned it 45 degrees closed with the same grip and hit a few hooks yet? Then how is your brain supposed to know what to do when that reference does not exist?
Hi Shawn, been watching your videos religiously but I can't seem to crank up my distance appreciably. I have been wondering...on a scale of 1 to 10 (where 10 is the highest), where would you place the importance of the back arm for power? I am strongly right handed dominant, but golf left handed. I don't seem to get a lot of power in my drives. So, I can't seem to get the my distance past 210 with any consistency. Thanks for you videos. They have been helpful.
Hey Shawn! Long time follower here. When you pick the height of the shot (with any club in the bag), do you incorporate draw/fade? I’ve found that I’m much more consistent when I pick height, but I struggle to incorporate both. Thanks!
I recommend playing with the face dynamically square which means for many golfers, this will appear much more closed than what they are used to seeing at address! 👍😀. See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement”
Hi Shawn, I've been focusing a lot on positive AoA and this is something newer for me. With the ball position so far forward and center being so far behind, it seems much more natural and practical to play fade vs draw. Do you have perspective on this?
If you go to our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com you will see the “great driver nugget” and the “diagonal stance series” where you will realize Hogan had a very important set up for the driver with a closed stance to support the forward ball position. Otherwise, very easy to pull left because the body will not compromise BALANCE for a golf shot.
Awesome tips here. My driver immediately straighter. Much needed. Thank you!!!
Right in! Mo knew what he was doing!

Yes! See “how to get behind the ball shawn clement” and “head position shawn clement” for kore on this; enjoy!
Great video... love the shout out to Moe!!! His philosophy was there wasn’t any hazards in the air... awesome

Nice new logo. Looks great and shiny 💫👍😎 I like it that you show first that slowmotion drill 👍 It gives more clear picture.

As always Shawn, great video!!! As someone who struggles with the driver I need to practice this.
This is FUN practice for sure!
I've learned so much from u Shawn, can't say thank u enough for ur efforts!
You are welcome! Thank you for the kind words and feedback! 👍😀

Wow, no wonder why I always feel open to the target with my driver. I was setting my club up to the ball at address..... Thank you!
If your trying the hit the driver like you do/would your fairway woods than ball at address is fine.
You are welcome Nick B! Big important revelation you just got! 👍😀
Your videos are great , your explanations and tips are so to point but where are my lefty friends 👍👍
They are back drawing the ball around the tree back into the green in this week’s video! 😀👍

Yes, the ball position does move a tad more forward, the club face needs to close a bit more and the tee height needs to go up.

@@golflessons you just made my head explode!
@@willmorton4042 nice to have some Aha moments; they are a lot of fun! 😀👍
If you were on an elevated tee and the landing area is right at the point where the ground starts to rise would you hit the low or high shot?
No wind high road!

excellent o
Hey Shawn! Long time follower here. When you pick the height of the shot (with any club in the bag), do you incorporate draw/fade? I’ve found that I’m much more consistent when I pick height, but I struggle to incorporate both. Thanks!
Yes, full flight plan!
Can height targets on the line replace all other tasks? Just send the momentum at that height
With the ball up in the stance for the high shot how does it affect your grip and alignment?
Idk, I think a stronger grip would be needed, Shawn has some good videos on Grip.
The higher you want to hit it, the stronger the grip is needed; next video! 👍😀
Shawn do you recommend always playing with closed face?
I recommend playing with the face dynamically square which means for many golfers, this will appear much more closed than what they are used to seeing at address! 👍😀. See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement”

I have a SIM 2 set to 7 degrees. What is your driver set on?
8 degrees! 👍😀
@@golflessons I love that lower trajectory
I have such a problem hitting the ball left with my driver. I’ve tried different grips but can’t seem to fix it.

How do we know the shot went high?
Did you see the Rapsodo feedback? The launch angle was 16 degrees vs 8 degrees on the low one.
@@golflessons Awesome thank you👍
