These videos are such a great resource for anyone who wants to improve. I'm absolutely thrilled with the progress I've made over this past season. Broke par again for the first time in years and I had long given up on that ever happening again.
Excellent video, Shawn. I have two students who block to the right and THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM much easier than trying to change their entire swing. Well done.
Been trying to work the ball both ways. A game I play on the nine hole course I play is front 9 I play 2 balls. One fade one draw and I split the score. Second time around I have to beat the score, found out I have an easier time hitting the fade
Make sure you see our very latest video on the release on our home page; very recent; and on our premium channel, the title is “important release update”
Hey Shawn, I'm a left-hander, right-hand dominant, from my perspective, I feel like I'm making myself set up too much to the right and then turning my shoulders and head Left! Behind the ball. I go with the strong grip, with my forearm to the sky, trailing arm. I shut my club face and swing, letting my arms and momentum go out to the left. I developed a solid straight push to the left ironically! with my 9-iron to gap wedge, But with the strong grip and shut face, my driver, on the other hand is developing its draw, sometimes overdraw, but the the push slice to the left is gone! and the block is very minimal when it occurs.
We need to be much more precise with your path and club face; on our premium channel, you will see “alignment reload”, “blur of club”, “how to match backswing to ball direction” and “arc blur unstoppable momentum series”; then you can see polish club face and grip relationship with the “goldilocks series” and then “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning” Now, if you have not done any release work, get to the “trail hand release” and “important release update” videos; and finally “target confirmation series” so that when you let momentum release your arm anatomy into the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball will start there and curve in the air the way you want it to. 😀👍
Always love your videos Shawn! I was cracking up at the shaving bark comment - you can have the Bark Shaving series of videos 🌲 It really is helpful having the visual clues to focus on what it means to do things like moving the head forward and being out of position. Thanks again, you have really transformed my game over the last few years!
No more upright than Bubba Watson’s or Justin Thomas or Jack Nicklaus! And the release part is pure anatomy being allowed to release into the direction of flight; just like in baseball hitting, tennis serves, hockey wrist shots, ping pong top spin backhand releases etc…we were built for this move! See our premium channel for way more details on this at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see all the “release” videos as well as the “throwing the club and throwing series” and predict contact and the goldie locks series” for starters!
Shawn when you set up to the ball with the closed face and neutral grip do you assume a side bend to make the face look square to the target line or just ignore the look of a closed face? I'm blocking driver.
As always Shawn, excellent video. I never tire of seeing and hearing your advice. I play regularly two days a week but I am very irregular with my shots and I would like to hit straight every time. I wanted to consult you: in your opinion, how do I get that regularity that I so desire?
Hi Marcos! get with my premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and start with choosing a task you enjoy executing. See “task trumps everything” and “top 3 tasks” and then see “task update” When you get good at the task, you begin to use momentum and freedom and that is when things really begin to get interesting! after you find your task and feel confident with it, reach out to me for a video analysis or a 1-1 lesson and we will show you which videos you need to get with to get to your next level.
Hooking right recently, after a few great days of nice push draws. Watching this and seems like i have migrated to too much of a closed face. Have to reset my mind and try going more open face fade or slice using "Goldilocks" to dial the right grip to face.
So good as always. I have a problem that I'm slicing and blocking no matter how much I close the face (with the driver even 90 degrees closed!). I have realized lately that it must be my wrists doing something like collapsing, unknowingly to me. They try to be even stronger gripped than the 90 degree closed face. To have the face of the blade follow my arms/body, I have to feel like I'm twisting the club while swinging. It works and I can now both fade and draw, but tend to also hook more often when I overdo it. Is this normal or have I started a bad habit manipulating the club? Wish I could film myself in ultra rapid and find out what happens.

Shawn , Okay had two drives block out the right . I was set with intermediate target divot mark to my target , one foot in front . Had the blur going right over divot right side . Big Block , club face closed 20 degree's . Now I see this video on blocking and your closing the face and swinging straight down the intermediate target . Hmmm I know where addressing the block . But my club going right of the intermediate blocked , maybe I just didn't release and held on. But had went straight down the intermediate target I might have released . Confused just a bit on this.
See ‘how to hit the power fade shawn clement; sometimes with longer clubs the club falls too far behind you…see also “vertical backswing shawn clement”
EXACTLY!!!! Why do you think hockey sticks are curved closed? Baseball Bats are round? Jai Alai and Lacrosse baskets are curved? It is the only way THROUGH THE BALL, and it is also the reason we have round grips to be able to close and open at will depending upon the shot! And no, we are not a fan of the reminder grips…😝😝
Hi Shawn, I play with one length irons. I have ZERO problems hitting my LW to 8i straight with a slight draw. I have a really strong grip (3 knuckles at least). But for some reason, I have a tendency to block my 7 to 4i to the right. Same grip, same length of club, same lie angle. Would you know why this happens? thanks.
Yes, this one is easy! The more loft you have the more backspin and less side spin you have; so the lower loft they are, the more they show your mistakes; which in this case is an open face…
Shawn, will correcting the clubface to be squared with handle leading result in a straight ball flight or will it cause a draw? Everyone who sees my driving swing says I’m not turning my shoulders fast enough… but when I look at Kyle Berkshire, our shoulder turn is about the same. I don’t see Kyle with a closed clubface at address. Kyle keeps his trail elbow bent and leading in the downswing, when getting to trail thigh he lets the wrist release, hips already facing target, with shoulders slightly open. Although he doesn’t have a closed clubface at address, I do notice he aims slightly to the left and he embraces the slightly open clubface to match up to where he wants to hit. Any tips or insight would be great, just thought it might be wrong if my driver address has a closed driver face. It seems I’m not releasing my wrist early enough like Kyle is doing around his trail thigh… Not sure which way to lean, your way or Kyle’s? Or if there is similarity in both. Thanks Shawn! I only trust your knowledge out of all the instructors out there, you absolutely know your stuff!
You can’t go about it that way Scott; what you need to do is get a task that will get you that naturally; then learn how to place the ball in the way of the swing; see all our “throw the club straight shawn clement” videos and then see “how to put the ball in the way of the swing shawn clement” and “grass whip training shawn clement” videos.

I really need help, I’m 76 years young, I usually score between 80 to 90. With once in awhile I will hit the 70’s 75 is the lowest I have shot. This winter I started playing more in the mid to high 80’s and now a lot of games are hitting the 90’s, I can’t seem to figure it out. Some of my shots will go straight to the left or right? I can’t figure it out???

I’m not really pulling or pushing shots, my problem is too much spin one way or the other. Well maybe a pull from time to time but my problem has became a hook. I can hit a fade almost on command lately but I got a hole number 2 about 40 yards of fairway to work with and I smack the tree down the left. Kind of not feesable to hit the fade on that hole. Just the way the tee box is setup can’t get a clear fade off.Tighter down the right side than left right side completely blocks you out from the hole almost all the way down. I’ve started to play course management by playing at the trouble that way I don’t hit it. If it’s down the left I’ll aim at it and play a fade if it’s down the right I play at it and play a draw been working numbers but I need to develop the draw more properly
Question! Could you make a video for folks that can't go to the range every day? Or that doesn't have an indoor range, but only have a backyard with no net? Lol...I guess I'm asking for a practice video with no ball🥺🥺
A lot of his stuff is done without a ball in the way. You can get pretty dialed in with just a T in the ground acting as the ball. Also foam golf balls work great for tight areas, same as wiggle golf balls. Hitting a volleyball/soccer ball is a great drill too to add speed, delay the release, add lag, get deeper compression etc. And I promise you won’t hit it too far if you have a 4-6’ high fence. He has tons of this stuff on his premium channel and his professionally shot teaching videos with 99% of his lessons in one. I believe he has 2 of them now. The 2nd one I think is seriously the bees knees
Your anatomy is designed to do this for you; you start with a grip and club face relationship that is pre-closed enough that when you deliver your task into the direction you want the ball to start, the ball will go there too! See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement”
Hey Neil! We have a whole series on the diagonal stance on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com where we went to town on giving you all the possibilities with all clubs with draws and fades; a very complete series that is a real eye opener!
I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. You are advising people to just shut the club face at address? I get it from a physics perspective, but surely it feels like a band-aid solution??
You mean like hockey sticks with curved blades and Jai Alai baskets with 90 degree bends? When you throw a ball, why do you wrap your fingers around the ball? See “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” for more!
@@golflessons We're not throwing or whipping the golf ball though. Those analogies don't apply here. They have to be curved to keep the puck or ball from sliding off the tip of the hockey stick or flying out of the Jai Alai basket way off line. And you have to wrap your fingers around a ball when you throw it because without holding it you can't throw it. A stronger grip or some shaft lean at address is one thing, but closing the face is just plain bad advice.
@@alexanderlitzenberg tell that to the guy who beat me by 5 strokes in one of the junior finals! 😂😂 His club face was 45 degrees closed with a strong grip and he put a ball striking clinic for 67 to my 72; I have been teaching full time for 38 years and have coached top college and PGA tour pros; you?
Seems like the most recent age of instruction has been pushing a neutral grip and getting away from a stronger grip, also there was a lot of keeping the hands forward and embrace your fade. Now we’re starting to see, stronger grips and getting club face in front of hands with a lot more draw bias. I would say from my experience it really depends on the player and what feels right.
Here are just a few…RYAN MOORE, FRED COUPLES,PAUL AZINGER,WEBB SIMPSON,PATRICK CANTLAY, BUBBA WATSON, Sergio Garcia, Zack Johnson, Brant Snedeker, Shane lowery, Gary woodland, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Kyle Stanley, Martin Laird, Paul Casey, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Terrell Hatton, Mark Leishman, Bernhard Langer, Joaquin Niemann, Ryan Palmer, Mike Weir, Jason Kokrack, Rory Sabatini, Lanto Griffin, Brendan Todd, Kevin Kisner, Danny Willett , Jason Day, Stewart Cink, hall of fame Judy Rankin, Kevin Streelman (very strong and fader) Thomas Pieters (solid strong) Kevin McCarthy (very strong) Brendan Steel-(super strong and best driver of the ball!) Todd Sinnott, Denwit Boriboonsub, and the list goes on and on!
I did it all an I'm still pushing the ball to the right. I line up and the practice swing divit is still going right. !@#$%&. Frustrated. Sometimes the driver will also faide a bit.
go ahead and close the face too much and see how the ball flies! 80% of the time, my students don’t close the face enough on their own; then when I show them they always shake their heads in disbelief and then smile when the ball leaves the club…😝😝😝
Wow have you been stalking me or something?? 🤦♂️ I have a tendency to have these gorgeous fairway wood shots that look perfect except for being 30 degrees the right. I practice using alignment sticks ensuring shoulders hips and feet are aligned so I know it's not my alignment.
Can we just appreciate how incredibly beautiful that sky and green is behind you? Thanks for the advice!
Thank you man! Yes, gorgeous place here! 😀👍❤️

Shawn when you set up to the ball with the closed face and neutral grip do you assume a side bend to make the face look square to the target line or just ignore the look of a closed face? I'm blocking driver.
Ignore the look of the closed face; see “most overlooked detail with driver shawn clement”

Here are just a few…RYAN MOORE, FRED COUPLES,PAUL AZINGER,WEBB SIMPSON,PATRICK CANTLAY, BUBBA WATSON, Sergio Garcia, Zack Johnson, Brant Snedeker, Shane lowery, Gary woodland, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Kyle Stanley, Martin Laird, Paul Casey, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Terrell Hatton, Mark Leishman, Bernhard Langer, Joaquin Niemann, Ryan Palmer, Mike Weir, Jason Kokrack, Rory Sabatini, Lanto Griffin, Brendan Todd, Kevin Kisner, Danny Willett , Jason Day, Stewart Cink, hall of fame Judy Rankin, Kevin Streelman (very strong and fader) Thomas Pieters (solid strong) Kevin McCarthy (very strong) Brendan Steel-(super strong and best driver of the ball!) Todd Sinnott, Denwit Boriboonsub, and the list goes on and on!
I did it all an I'm still pushing the ball to the right. I line up and the practice swing divit is still going right. !@#$%&. Frustrated. Sometimes the driver will also faide a bit.
go ahead and close the face too much and see how the ball flies! 80% of the time, my students don’t close the face enough on their own; then when I show them they always shake their heads in disbelief and then smile when the ball leaves the club…😝😝😝
Okay, I'll give it a shot.@@golflessons
And thank you for replying
Wow have you been stalking me or something?? 🤦♂️
I have a tendency to have these gorgeous fairway wood shots that look perfect except for being 30 degrees the right. I practice using alignment sticks ensuring shoulders hips and feet are aligned so I know it's not my alignment.
Right on Mark, had my eye on you! 😝😝
See my “hit a honkin’ draw to hit it straight Shawn Clement”
