Magic! The bonus tee height information is absolute gold! There is nothing like the feeling of the ball firing out of the centre of the driver and watching it fly - for less effort. Oh so easy!!
Having only just discovered you, I have to thank you for my golfing light bulb moment. This is amazing instruction; I only wish I’d discovered this years ago. You are inspirational.

12 months ago I returned to golf after 10yrs not playing (I’m 65), I started playing with my old school fundamentals and swing, struggling with poor strike and distance. I’ve had lessons & watched countless TH-cam videos trying to sort out my game to no avail. Then I watch this video and it was a revelation! The next day I played a links course with 30 mph winds & hit the ball at least 30 to 40 yards further with the driver into wind and with a beautiful high penetrating trajectory, my irons were another surprise holding their line and trajectory also with 20 to 30 yards extra distance and all with so much less effort. Why did no one show me how to swing this way...!!!!?? Thank you..!
I have incorporated your idea of the " center of the machine " into my drives in the last couple of rounds. I have seen an incredible improvement in the height of my drives. Not 100% every time yet but a work in progress. Still have to get away from " Hitting the ball " instead of gathering it. I have only started watching your videos in the last week, but your teaching makes so much sense. I am 72 years old and have been playing for 5 years. I am an 8 handicap only because I break 80 enough times to lower it. I usually shoot in the low 80's. I have been using my innate athletic ability to be able to play this well. But I have reached a plateau. I am going to start to use your drills to break the chain. So thank you for some useful ideas!!!
You definitely want to join our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and dive in to the “senior series” first and then do a swing analysis with me so I can point you to the videos that pertain to your needs. Shawn
I used to play with a strong grip and instructors kept trying to get me more nuetral. Having watched several of your youtube videos, I have gone back to my old grip, and am striking the ball solid again! Thank you!
Yes!!! Don’t let those guys change you!! So many up and comers on the tour have super strong grips; see the Porto Rico open and check out Ryan Gerard who was the highlight of round 2!
Coach, this lesson comes at the perfect time. The bonus secret about ball position and tee height with driver is often overlooked and ignored by most weekend warriors. This hugely impacts strike point, ball speed, smash factor, face to path, swing path, etc. Mixing these with proper ground force reaction is a lethal combo for huge distance. My position tends to creep to far forward in my stance and I end up chasing after the ball relying on flash speed + hand-eye coordination to make solid contact. When my ball position and strike are right my smash is between 1.49-1.51 with ball speeds ranging from 175-180mph. I am going to put your tips to the test and go full throttle to ramp up even more ball speed to try to catch up to MU!! 💪 Cheers
yes! when you have a clear task like throw the club through the IP in the direction you want to start the ball or whip through the stem of the dandelion in that direction, then things get simple in a hurry! see “grass whip training shawn clement” and “throw the club straight shawn clement”
I know this is an old video but I just found it and subscribed. I will strengthen my grip a bit tonight in practice. I am excited to see what happens, thanks
Great video ...as always !!! I didn't get kicked out of the simulator last week so heading back tomorrow morning . The 3 of you are coming with me so I can reference this video !!
Thank you, thank you and thank you. After watching this lesson...forgot square then I added 20 yards to my driver distance!!! Nominating you teacher of the decade :)
Your videos are the best and the tip pertaining to centering the driver for hitting up makes perfect sense to me who has popped up often instead of driving down the fairway Thank You and your crew for the clear training 👍👍
Warmed up using your cut the grass swing back & forth drill. Then started practicing punch shots. Without thinking began using my legs & suddenly my punch shots were effortlessly going 30 yards further! Thanks Shawn! 👏👏
Wow i umm just discovered I've been swinging with way to much arms for way to long :) , went out to the course today tried swinging with the "weight of my arms" rather than swinging with my arms. I'm not in great shape but i went from 235 -245 Drives to 275-285 Drives after 20 minutes. :) this is insane stuff 275 feels so easy now and 245 felt like i was going to strain my body to hit that hard .... Effort level is like a 3 on the 275 and it felt like a 9 to get the 245 ;) love your videos you make golf more fun :)
I love that you mentioned George Gankas because ive been trying his turn and it is complicated. You just simplified it alot! I would like to see you talk about this and go through turning with irons as well or even a different between Driver and irons.
Hi Shawn I am left handed however my lead arm is my strong arm, is this same for Mu and Sav? I am concerned that this makes a difference to throwing the club and the swing in general. Please comment. Regards Diogo.
Hi Dee! Sav is like you on her backhand and my left handed swing is the same as yours; this would be the same as Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Henryk Stenson, Phil Michelson, and so many others! You are in great company. On our premium channel, one of my favourite videos is the “lead hand release” which is equally as important for backswing and for the follow through and we just made “Lead hand release in the backswing” just a few weeks ago because of that importance. See www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and it’s only $9.95 per month and stay as long as you like!
Love your instruction, however, a quick question using your legs and heaving the club in the back swing is causing me to sway, how do I alleviate that,
What a shame I wasn’t living in Richmond hill when you were teaching there. Unfortunately I’m back living in cold England but still love watching your great videos.
Hey Shawn. Great info. as always. Almost let myself go down the mechanics hole, but thanks to you, I am back to the "task". Also, an upcoming episode of Golf Pass is going to feature Bryson & Chris Cuomo with discussion of what you are already sharing. Thanks again. Mick
Comme toujours, une excellente vidéo, vraiment très impressionnant, il n’y a plus qu’à essayer de reproduire vos conseils au practice Encore merci Shawn.
Shawn, you have a talent for getting concepts across without having us get caught up and frozen in the technical. This stuff is for real, i picked up 10 yards on my irons instantly in my simulator and started hitting my 9 iron 160 carry. Took it to the course and was hitting it high and straight for the most part. I carried one 9 iron (pull fade) 170 minimum. Can't wait to get used to this and sent this video to my friends.
Also saw your sweet driver swing down the middle with that beautifully dynamically square club face that allowed you full access to the middle of the fairway looooong!! 👍💪👌🏌️
@@golflessons I did smoke that one. Good thing my buddy was recording. I actually hit 280 carry on the swing caddie today for first time ever. I’m pretty sure this lesson got me there 👍🏻
I like the strong grip method with the closed face. I feel you have to find your grip, then go slow with your natural swing to impact and then address the ball if the clubface is open just ever so slight close it to square. I’ve been doing this with all of my clubs and marking where my thumbs are on the grip. The lightbulb went off watching your videos. I’m a consistent golfer, for instance my misses on my natural swing are always found in the same exact spot. I’m looking to keep my natural swing but make minor tweaks all around that still allow me to keep that and not change my swing
See my “pulling shots left shawn clement” video and let me know what you think about human binocular vision and how distorted it becomes when playing golf from the side!
I've watched many of those videos from 2007, back in 2007. I used to watch them over and over. I learned to swing the Clement way, and never looked back. The secret is in relaxing the arms and using "catapult power" I.E. momentum to swing the club effortlessly, in the direction that you want your ball flight to start. Sav has truly embraced the idea of turning the hips with the ribcage. Her backswing looks just like Jack's. That's why her numbers are off the charts. Momentum.
That is a perfect description and assessment Daniel! Awesome stuff! Thank you for voicing your observations in this comment, much appreciated! 👍😀. Today we saw a different Savy, she really opened up the machine and is now swinging at my speed...blowing away my expectations...👍😀👌💪 She is now over 110 MPH club head speed!! 🤩🤩
@@golflessons I remember watching her in your videos when she was just a tiny thing. Her swing has evolved so nicely. Surely you are bursting with pride, and rightfully so. Congratulations to both of you. 😎👍
Shawn, can you explain intermediate point or if you already did a video on it please tell me which video? I understand the basic concept but don’t understand how you use it when shaping shots.
You need to get on premium big time! See “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” as well as “draw fine tuning” and Fade fine tuning” just for starters! On youtube, check out “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement”
65° outside and man did I hit alot of golfballs today. :) :) :). I'm very satisfied with my all aspects of my game. You and Mu stomp that right heel to start the backswing. Could this be to start the momentum of that rear glut back, around and up into the backswing. I guess my question is what are your thoughts on a "slight" lateral move of the hips to start the backswing. I look at it as a rebound off a forward press to start the swing. The reason I'm asking is this has proven to be a golden nugget and is producing positive results. Very impressive Mu nice work. Thank yinz
Don’t worry about the “lateral move” that you think you need Mike; remember the walking drill?? 0.0 lateral moves in the walking drill; just changes in pressure...
You can search any related subject in golf like “distance to ball shawn clement” as see a very important video to “predict contact and direction shawn clement” as well as “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “dynamic distance to ball shawn clement”. On our premium channel, the titles are “predict contact” and the all mighty “goldie locks series” 😀👍
Great video! Do you have a recommendation for filling a gap between driver and 4 iron? Looking at either 5w or Hybrid. I’m also a high handicapper. Thanks in advance!
Best is to go to club champion for a fitting; they can also give you a gapping session and really pin point which clubs would suit you best! They are all great options!
Hi folks, Shawn, In the far away Netherlands I watching your vids 👍 for quite some years now. The progress you made, never compromising you philosophy, is impressive. Now, as I am getting older (70) and weaker, and trie my best to stay in shape. However, in about two years I lost 10, 20 yards in average for all club's. Are there any tips for us seniors on top of your great instructions that could compensate/minimise the loss of distance due to flex, speed and muscle detoriation. (U know statins medication don't help in this regard) Thanks for any feedback and warm regards to the three of U, Harry
Hi Harry! First you get the book “grain brain” by Dr Permutter and get off the foods that cause you to need statins so you can get off that poison! It did a very bad number on my dad’s muscular system and his ability to function normally. Then when you are back to normal, (I was on the same path 7 years ago and look at me now!!) you can start swinging with more freedom and you should also get with Munashe at www.wisdomingolf.com (see our fitness page and our blog for recipes) who will get you back into a good shape to deliver a whole kinetic chain.
@@golflessons Hi Shawn. Thanks for the advice I will for shure get the book. On the food I am working on the good food list. Just a little afraid to stop with statins. I am in consult with my GP when to stop and monitor. Thanks again cheers, Harry
Great video guys. Your ideas have transformed my driver. I now for the first time have some control over where my drives go. I play off 6 and I think I'll be getting lower very soon. 🤞
What is the loft of the drivers you are hitting? Most of us watching do not have access to the tracking machine. We do know the degree of loft our driver is. The technical analysis is somewhat helpful but we need to know how it relates if the driver is anywhere from 8 to 14 degrees. Thanks
These videos are awesome. I’ve gained 12mph on my driver speed thanks to you. The friends are jealous and the ladies gawk. Do you have a video explaining the differences of hitting driver vs irons. Setup, swing etc?
You bet!! See “driver vs irons shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” On our premium channel the titles are “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”
@@golflessons Thank you so much for getting back on this. I immediately learned something for myself to experiment with too. My spinn was also low to even under 1000. So I think I will push up loft too. Thx again and stay metal, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Do you recommend practising by throwing a large hammer? Should that be done using only one arm, or should it be done using both hands as in a golf swing? For a right-handed person, should the hammer land left of the target? And When you talk of looking at the tip of the T, is that where the tee is meets the ground, or is it where the T touches the ball?
We use the default settings on the quad which are at 500 feet above sea level; same here as in Quebec city; our numbers are a 1/4 club shorter at sea level in Florida. And I am 56 years old! 😀👍
Hey Shawn. I am 69 years old and left hip and leg issues. My ability to do a full turn (butt to the target on the backswing) is very limited. How can I maintain or increase my distance without aggravating my existing hip and leg issues? Thanks for your time.
I cannot possibly answer that without some 1-1 time with you; power comes from a Kinetic chain and we would want to see how yours is engaging and where the weak links are and what your focus is over the ball. The best would be to start with the “senior series” on our premium channel and then set up a 1-1 online lesson with me so I can point you to the rest of the videos that will make the difference for you!
This is an eyeopener! Everyone tells us to keep the head still and don't bob up and down. What are the position of the hands/wrists on the follow through once the ball has been struck? Just wondering if I use a strong grip like Savvy what stops the ball from hooking?
We have this week’s video is on fading and drawing the ball with any grip; Savy is demonstrating a fade; just like Dustin with a 90 degree closed face. This is what ALLOWS ANYONE TO GET ACCESS TO THE TARGET THROUGH THE BALL!!
I was taking your advice I’m still at setup. I started slowly swinging in the house just barely moving the club to where I could watch the face. I have a strong grip but at impact my club is ever so slightly open so I kept my my hands that way and slightly turned the club to square and put it back in my hands I want to try that
At the top of Sav's backswing, her back is pointing to the target.. that is incredible torque! I'm going to try that, but my concern is that I won't be able to square back up consistently.
Hey Ron! It is not about coming back to the ball, it is about having the momentum to deliver through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball! A huge deterrent to finishing the backswing and causes of sway off the ball is side vision; see “pulling the ball left shawn clement” In our premium channel, you want to see “alignment reload” and then see “blur of club” and the “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” and then see “weight shift with Savy” which talks about having a fully complete turn in the backswing to get a proper weight shift in the downswing. Then see “lead hand release in the backswing” to really open up the backswing completely and the latest video we posted this week and last week called “super slow-super wide-super relaxed” series www.wisdomingolfpremium.com
Hi Shawn, one question about tee height and COG of the driver. I went and had a go at this and hit the ball so much better "funny enough you haven't steered me wrong yet" but did find it went high and a little left, not draw just flight. I though hand position may be the issue. anyway, another cracking video and I'm sorry I haven't subscribed to the premium channel but COVID and dollars in Australia are making it hard. Thanks again
Have you seen Drew Cooper's swing? There's starting to be more videos of him on TH-cam. 205+ ball speed with the smoothest swing I've seen. He talks about how to begin the backswing he thinks of heaving something heavy forward. Your tips are really helping me, but I have an issue that's mental when I play. If the hole is tight at all, I think I'm swinging nervous because I know it will go long and wrong if I miss it. When I'm nervous, I seem to block it to the right. I know I'm probably swaying when I'm nervous. If it's open, I'm fine, and hit some around 330.
Hi, I have been trying to forget about focusing on HITTING THE BALL, I find it very hard, is this a focus that I should stop? Or is there something I can use to help make it a bit easier? Tks Marc
Yes, you need to replace the “hit the ball” focus with a nice task such as “cutting dandelion stems towards the target” see “grass whip training shawn clement” which will help big time!
Shawn when I use four knuckles grip with 20% closed face of the club, I get a nice impact but then ball gets almost hooked instead of a nice draw. Any idea what wrong I am doing?
See “how to match backswing to target shawn clement” and “power fade shawn clement” as well as “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and all the “throwing the club shawn clement” videos. Once you KNOW you are through the ball in the direction you want to start the ball and the ball is still hooking, then you can back off the grip-club face.
That’s all relative to where your play your stock shot from. Back of the stance doesn’t mean by your back foot. For me, playing a draw is only about 1/2 a ball rotation back from playing a face.
I’ve been practicing about a ball length back from stock shot for a draw. Shawns video describes placing the tee at an optimal distance to collect the ball on the way up. So moving the ball back and forth may affect the angle at which the ball is collected. So curious if this makes a difference.
Irons are back of centre (front of ball touching centre) for draw but not driver! See “driver speed and smash shawn clement golf wrx” for more details!
Hi Shawn, when did you stop kicking the right knee in to start your backswing and go to the heel stomp? Years back I couldn't find anybody that understood this swing technique and kept trying to "fix" my swing when I would look for touch up lessons. I found I was better off going back to your videos!
Hey Lance! yes, went to the heel stomp to kick start the backswing’s kinetic chain! See our “kinetic chain facilitation series” on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com
Hey Shawn I’m curious what the loft is on each of your drivers. Savanna’s numbers were 18-20-10 launch,loft, and attack angle. Mu’s were 15-22-5. And yours were 18-18-6. All numbers approximate and rounded up. Simple theory I’ve always thought if my driver being 8 degree if I hit up at 8 degrees my launch should be 16 degrees. Thanks for your thoughts. Love your channel. JS
I really want to focus on this action this season. I need to train my mind....the feeling of hitting the ground in my downswing is something I need to overcome. I guess it’s lots of swings to get to the right timing to reinforce the feeling???
Naw! That is all yesterday’s stuff! The key here is to stay on task of delivering your action to target! See “throwing the club straight shawn clement” and then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” for starters.
@@golflessons Super that's what i was thinking. You've got me playing better than I have in months. The whole 'hip restriction' nonsense hurt my back and threw everything off. 'Throwing the Club' is a winner once it clicked in my thing skull :) You guys just seem like good folks too...I love your team.
What do you do if you have bad legs I have been using a moe norman swing for the last ten years but my knees are week and hard for me to swing with knee rotating to behind the ball what can I do to increase the speed?
Could you say which specific driver model you each use and why you selected them based on your specific swings, and if you use standard length or shorter shafts? Thanks for all the great vids.
@@golflessons Wow! It really works and seems so effortless. I managed some great contact , ball went where I wanted it to go and longer! Even the poorer shots were better misses! My playing partner of five years was shocked, after a number of “wow!” comments she ended up saying you played beautiful golf today it just looked so good! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 👍🏼😁 Ps Premium channel here I come!
@@hildahudson2344 this brings such a smile to my face! 😀👍Way to go Hilda, this is how you want to enjoy the game and what I wish for everyone to experience. Looking forward to more benchmarks in the near future!
Whenever I try to increase my angle of attack, I wind up hitting on the bottom of the face. I noticed on some of your early attempts you did the same. When I tee the ball high and focus on hitting the tee, I usually make good face contact. I would like to hit the ball in the middle of the face and increase my angle of attack. Is it simply a matter of experimenting with ball placement? Thanks for the great instruction.
This can be an option; or square it up and make it a very strong grip with square face or a bit of both! See “why your swing is underpowered shawn clement” and “most important video on grip ever shawn clement”

Hey Shawn! One analogy you used years ago that helps me to this day achieving an "effortless" swing is 'pushing someone on a swing'. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I have heard; finally more experts preaching the good word!

Hi Dee! Sav is like you on her backhand and my left handed swing is the same as yours; this would be the same as Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Henryk Stenson, Phil Michelson, and so many others! You are in great company. On our premium channel, one of my favourite videos is the “lead hand release” which is equally as important for backswing and for the follow through and we just made “Lead hand release in the backswing” just a few weeks ago because of that importance. See www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and it’s only $9.95 per month and stay as long as you like!
Awesome video. Great stuff!
Hi Shawn. Amazing vidéo Again. Do you have a drill or trick to bring the back elbow on the right stop to lead the downswing
Not stop but spot.
see the “football drill shawn clement” 👍😀
Thank you once again great information love it
You bet Tony!! We are VERY JAZZED with the new turn of events in the teaching industry; this will be so good for so many!!
Love your instruction, however, a quick question using your legs and heaving the club in the back swing is causing me to sway, how do I alleviate that,
See all my “stop swaying shawn clement” videos; tons!
What a shame I wasn’t living in Richmond hill when you were teaching there. Unfortunately I’m back living in cold England but still love watching your great videos.
Still colder here! 😝😝 I will make it back to the UK for some sessions again some day!
Hey Shawn. Great info. as always. Almost let myself go down the mechanics hole, but thanks to you, I am back to the "task".
Also, an upcoming episode of Golf Pass is going to feature Bryson & Chris Cuomo with discussion of what you are already sharing. Thanks again.
Mick
Loving this. I can't wait to get back to the range.
Comme toujours, une excellente vidéo, vraiment très impressionnant, il n’y a plus qu’à essayer de reproduire vos conseils au practice
Encore merci Shawn.
Je ne crois pas qu’il va réagir à ton commentaire en français lol
Just Excellent! Thanks Shawn
Shawn, you have a talent for getting concepts across without having us get caught up and frozen in the technical. This stuff is for real, i picked up 10 yards on my irons instantly in my simulator and started hitting my 9 iron 160 carry. Took it to the course and was hitting it high and straight for the most part. I carried one 9 iron (pull fade) 170 minimum. Can't wait to get used to this and sent this video to my friends.
Right on Jay! That is fun city my man! 👍😀👌💪
I bought those Martini tees with the ring molded half way down the spike to give me a consistent ball height at address. Made a huge difference.
Great stuff! They are very nice!
Also saw your sweet driver swing down the middle with that beautifully dynamically square club face that allowed you full access to the middle of the fairway looooong!! 👍💪👌🏌️
@@golflessons I did smoke that one. Good thing my buddy was recording. I actually hit 280 carry on the swing caddie today for first time ever. I’m pretty sure this lesson got me there 👍🏻
@@jdheelfan Beauty!!💪😀👍
Great video you lot.
I like the strong grip method with the closed face. I feel you have to find your grip, then go slow with your natural swing to impact and then address the ball if the clubface is open just ever so slight close it to square. I’ve been doing this with all of my clubs and marking where my thumbs are on the grip. The lightbulb went off watching your videos. I’m a consistent golfer, for instance my misses on my natural swing are always found in the same exact spot. I’m looking to keep my natural swing but make minor tweaks all around that still allow me to keep that and not change my swing
I absolutely agree with his physics. I don't agree with his different alignment positions with driver and irons
See my “pulling shots left shawn clement” video and let me know what you think about human binocular vision and how distorted it becomes when playing golf from the side!
Great video, isn’t this what Moe Norman use to do at address where he was back away from the ball. ?
I've watched many of those videos from 2007, back in 2007. I used to watch them over and over. I learned to swing the Clement way, and never looked back. The secret is in relaxing the arms and using "catapult power" I.E. momentum to swing the club effortlessly, in the direction that you want your ball flight to start. Sav has truly embraced the idea of turning the hips with the ribcage. Her backswing looks just like Jack's. That's why her numbers are off the charts. Momentum.
That is a perfect description and assessment Daniel! Awesome stuff! Thank you for voicing your observations in this comment, much appreciated! 👍😀. Today we saw a different Savy, she really opened up the machine and is now swinging at my speed...blowing away my expectations...👍😀👌💪 She is now over 110 MPH club head speed!! 🤩🤩
@@golflessons I remember watching her in your videos when she was just a tiny thing. Her swing has evolved so nicely. Surely you are bursting with pride, and rightfully so. Congratulations to both of you. 😎👍
Shawn, can you explain intermediate point or if you already did a video on it please tell me which video? I understand the basic concept but don’t understand how you use it when shaping shots.
You need to get on premium big time! See “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” as well as “draw fine tuning” and Fade fine tuning” just for starters! On youtube, check out “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement”
Cool video
65° outside and man did I hit alot of golfballs today. :) :) :). I'm very satisfied with my all aspects of my game.
You and Mu stomp that right heel to start the backswing. Could this be to start the momentum of that rear glut back, around and up into the backswing. I guess my question is what are your thoughts on a "slight" lateral move of the hips to start the backswing. I look at it as a rebound off a forward press to start the swing. The reason I'm asking is this has proven to be a golden nugget and is producing positive results. Very impressive Mu nice work.
Thank yinz
Don’t worry about the “lateral move” that you think you need Mike; remember the walking drill?? 0.0 lateral moves in the walking drill; just changes in pressure...
How do i know the appropriate distance of the ball from me. I cant figure that out so i often slice or hit it on the inner most part of the head
You can search any related subject in golf like “distance to ball shawn clement” as see a very important video to “predict contact and direction shawn clement” as well as “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “dynamic distance to ball shawn clement”. On our premium channel, the titles are “predict contact” and the all mighty “goldie locks series” 😀👍
Love the Video's Hope someday to be able to get a lesson in person from you :) Hoping to break 80 this season :)
Great video! Do you have a recommendation for filling a gap between driver and 4 iron? Looking at either 5w or Hybrid. I’m also a high handicapper. Thanks in advance!
Best is to go to club champion for a fitting; they can also give you a gapping session and really pin point which clubs would suit you best! They are all great options!
Hi folks, Shawn,
In the far away Netherlands I watching your vids 👍 for quite some years now. The progress you made, never compromising you philosophy, is impressive. Now, as I am getting older (70) and weaker, and trie my best to stay in shape. However, in about two years I lost 10, 20 yards in average for all club's.
Are there any tips for us seniors on top of your great instructions that could compensate/minimise the loss of distance due to flex, speed and muscle detoriation. (U know statins medication don't help in this regard)
Thanks for any feedback and warm regards to the three of U, Harry
Hi Harry! First you get the book “grain brain” by Dr Permutter and get off the foods that cause you to need statins so you can get off that poison! It did a very bad number on my dad’s muscular system and his ability to function normally. Then when you are back to normal, (I was on the same path 7 years ago and look at me now!!) you can start swinging with more freedom and you should also get with Munashe at www.wisdomingolf.com (see our fitness page and our blog for recipes) who will get you back into a good shape to deliver a whole kinetic chain.
@@golflessons
Hi Shawn.
Thanks for the advice I will for shure get the book. On the food I am working on the good food list. Just a little afraid to stop with statins. I am in consult with my GP when to stop and monitor.
Thanks again cheers, Harry
Great video guys. Your ideas have transformed my driver. I now for the first time have some control over where my drives go. I play off 6 and I think I'll be getting lower very soon. 🤞
Go for it Brad! Keep us in the loop!
Great videos. Added a club length just watching your videos. Does Sav use stiff flex clubs?
A combination of them! Regular steel men’s in the irons and hybrids and stiff 50 gram shaft on the driver-
Excellent work!!!
What is the loft of the drivers you are hitting? Most of us watching do not have access to the tracking machine. We do know the degree of loft our driver is.
The technical analysis is somewhat helpful but we need to know how it relates if the driver is anywhere from 8 to 14 degrees. Thanks
All our drivers are 9 degrees...
These videos are awesome. I’ve gained 12mph on my driver speed thanks to you. The friends are jealous and the ladies gawk. Do you have a video explaining the differences of hitting driver vs irons. Setup, swing etc?
You bet!! See “driver vs irons shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement”
On our premium channel the titles are “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”
Great vid again Shaun. Just for me to have a little bit mor reference. What is the loft you all have set too?
Stay metal, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Savy is 9 degrees and is experimenting with higher lofts because her spin is staying low; Mu and I are at 8 degrees.
@@golflessons Thank you so much for getting back on this. I immediately learned something for myself to experiment with too. My spinn was also low to even under 1000. So I think I will push up loft too. Thx again and stay metal, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Do you recommend practising by throwing a large hammer? Should that be done using only one arm, or should it be done using both hands as in a golf swing? For a right-handed person, should the hammer land left of the target? And When you talk of looking at the tip of the T, is that where the tee is meets the ground, or is it where the T touches the ball?
I love using a 6 pound sledge; a blast! And you want to land it on the target for that; like tossing horse shoes...
Another nop notch video Shawn. On another note...is that an old school Aldila NV shaft you got there?
New this year and feels very close to the old one; good things don’t need to change! 👍😀
Yes Sir..agreed. I'm thinking about getting one myself...great shaft!@@golflessons
Shawn, those are some amazing numbers! What elevation are you using with the GC Quad? Would love to see some videos of you teaching a 55-60 yr old.
We use the default settings on the quad which are at 500 feet above sea level; same here as in Quebec city; our numbers are a 1/4 club shorter at sea level in Florida. And I am 56 years old! 😀👍
Hey Shawn. I am 69 years old and left hip and leg issues. My ability to do a full turn (butt to the target on the backswing) is very limited. How can I maintain or increase my distance without aggravating my existing hip and leg issues? Thanks for your time.
I cannot possibly answer that without some 1-1 time with you; power comes from a Kinetic chain and we would want to see how yours is engaging and where the weak links are and what your focus is over the ball. The best would be to start with the “senior series” on our premium channel and then set up a 1-1 online lesson with me so I can point you to the rest of the videos that will make the difference for you!
Please make a video on how to hit fairway wood without a tee by using this strong grip. Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/C6K2_Kd7rcc/w-d-xo.html
See “hit out of a divot shawn clement” and do it with a fairway wood!
Can’t wait to throw some old clubs! Thanks Shawn
IT IS A RIGHT OF PASSAGE TO ALL GOLFERS! Like throwing a tennis racket to practice your serve!
This is an eyeopener! Everyone tells us to keep the head still and don't bob up and down. What are the position of the hands/wrists on the follow through once the ball has been struck? Just wondering if I use a strong grip like Savvy what stops the ball from hooking?
We have this week’s video is on fading and drawing the ball with any grip; Savy is demonstrating a fade; just like Dustin with a 90 degree closed face. This is what ALLOWS ANYONE TO GET ACCESS TO THE TARGET THROUGH THE BALL!!
I was taking your advice I’m still at setup. I started slowly swinging in the house just barely moving the club to where I could watch the face. I have a strong grip but at impact my club is ever so slightly open so I kept my my hands that way and slightly turned the club to square and put it back in my hands I want to try that
At the top of Sav's backswing, her back is pointing to the target.. that is incredible torque! I'm going to try that, but my concern is that I won't be able to square back up consistently.
Hey Ron! It is not about coming back to the ball, it is about having the momentum to deliver through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball! A huge deterrent to finishing the backswing and causes of sway off the ball is side vision; see “pulling the ball left shawn clement”
In our premium channel, you want to see “alignment reload” and then see “blur of club” and the “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” and then see “weight shift with Savy” which talks about having a fully complete turn in the backswing to get a proper weight shift in the downswing. Then see “lead hand release in the backswing” to really open up the backswing completely and the latest video we posted this week and last week called “super slow-super wide-super relaxed” series
www.wisdomingolfpremium.com
Is Sav getting ready to play competitive tournament golf ? LPGA or Canadian Tour ?
Yes, diving in!
Hi Shawn, one question about tee height and COG of the driver. I went and had a go at this and hit the ball so much better "funny enough you haven't steered me wrong yet" but did find it went high and a little left, not draw just flight. I though hand position may be the issue. anyway, another cracking video and I'm sorry I haven't subscribed to the premium channel but COVID and dollars in Australia are making it hard. Thanks again
Right on Bretto! Glad you are enjoying the content! See “driver speed and smash shawn clement”
Have you seen Drew Cooper's swing? There's starting to be more videos of him on TH-cam. 205+ ball speed with the smoothest swing I've seen. He talks about how to begin the backswing he thinks of heaving something heavy forward. Your tips are really helping me, but I have an issue that's mental when I play. If the hole is tight at all, I think I'm swinging nervous because I know it will go long and wrong if I miss it. When I'm nervous, I seem to block it to the right. I know I'm probably swaying when I'm nervous. If it's open, I'm fine, and hit some around 330.
Hi, I have been trying to forget about focusing on HITTING THE BALL, I find it very hard, is this a focus that I should stop? Or is there something I can use to help make it a bit easier? Tks Marc
Yes, you need to replace the “hit the ball” focus with a nice task such as “cutting dandelion stems towards the target” see “grass whip training shawn clement” which will help big time!
Shawn when I use four knuckles grip with 20% closed face of the club, I get a nice impact but then ball gets almost hooked instead of a nice draw.
Any idea what wrong I am doing?
See “how to match backswing to target shawn clement” and “power fade shawn clement” as well as “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and all the “throwing the club shawn clement” videos. Once you KNOW you are through the ball in the direction you want to start the ball and the ball is still hooking, then you can back off the grip-club face.
Great
Great great video
Shawn usually talk about having the ball back in the stance when hitting a draw. Are you doing that with the driver? Lovin’ the videos!
That’s all relative to where your play your stock shot from. Back of the stance doesn’t mean by your back foot. For me, playing a draw is only about 1/2 a ball rotation back from playing a face.
I’ve been practicing about a ball length back from stock shot for a draw. Shawns video describes placing the tee at an optimal distance to collect the ball on the way up. So moving the ball back and forth may affect the angle at which the ball is collected. So curious if this makes a difference.
Irons are back of centre (front of ball touching centre) for draw but not driver! See “driver speed and smash shawn clement golf wrx” for more details!
Best Shawn video to increase angle of attack?
See “delofting through proper tilt shawn clement”
@@golflessons thank you!!
Golf season kicking off in Michigan I’m back Shawn ...hi Sav😊 ...... 🤨moo lol
Hi Shawn, when did you stop kicking the right knee in to start your backswing and go to the heel stomp?
Years back I couldn't find anybody that understood this swing technique and kept trying to "fix" my swing when I would look for touch up lessons. I found I was better off going back to your videos!
Hey Lance! yes, went to the heel stomp to kick start the backswing’s kinetic chain! See our “kinetic chain facilitation series” on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com
Hey Shawn I’m curious what the loft is on each of your drivers. Savanna’s numbers were 18-20-10 launch,loft, and attack angle. Mu’s were 15-22-5. And yours were 18-18-6. All numbers approximate and rounded up. Simple theory I’ve always thought if my driver being 8 degree if I hit up at 8 degrees my launch should be 16 degrees. Thanks for your thoughts. Love your channel. JS
Exactly!!!! Mu and I are 8 and Savy is 9
I really want to focus on this action this season. I need to train my mind....the feeling of hitting the ground in my downswing is something I need to overcome. I guess it’s lots of swings to get to the right timing to reinforce the feeling???
That’s good bro.
When the 'heave up' happens is that considered coming 'out of posture' ?
Naw! That is all yesterday’s stuff! The key here is to stay on task of delivering your action to target! See “throwing the club straight shawn clement” and then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” for starters.
@@golflessons Super that's what i was thinking. You've got me playing better than I have in months. The whole 'hip restriction' nonsense hurt my back and threw everything off. 'Throwing the Club' is a winner once it clicked in my thing skull :) You guys just seem like good folks too...I love your team.
What do you do if you have bad legs I have been using a moe norman swing for the last ten years but my knees are week and hard for me to swing with knee rotating to behind the ball what can I do to increase the speed?
See “Sledge Hammer Axe Drill Shawn Clement”. And hit some shots like that and see how you do!
Could you say which specific driver model you each use and why you selected them based on your specific swings, and if you use standard length or shorter shafts? Thanks for all the great vids.
You guys are great! Shawn could you tell me how sav and mu don’t have a reversed pivot with such a big turn? I really struggle with that...
Shawn u gotta come to Seattle area and help me out! :( haha
Getting a lot more demand from your area; always wanted to head out there and do a session in Vancouver at the same time!
Can’t wait to try this, love that you have Sav demo this too, feels like female players are included in these sessions 👍🏼
Go for it Hilda! 👍😀 Thank you for your important comment and feedback!
@@golflessons Wow! It really works and seems so effortless. I managed some great contact , ball went where I wanted it to go and longer! Even the poorer shots were better misses! My playing partner of five years was shocked, after a number of “wow!” comments she ended up saying you played beautiful golf today it just looked so good! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 👍🏼😁
Ps Premium channel here I come!
@@hildahudson2344 this brings such a smile to my face! 😀👍Way to go Hilda, this is how you want to enjoy the game and what I wish for everyone to experience. Looking forward to more benchmarks in the near future!
Whenever I try to increase my angle of attack, I wind up hitting on the bottom of the face. I noticed on some of your early attempts you did the same. When I tee the ball high and focus on hitting the tee, I usually make good face contact. I would like to hit the ball in the middle of the face and increase my angle of attack. Is it simply a matter of experimenting with ball placement? Thanks for the great instruction.
Yes, tee height and ball placement; you noticed at the end it was much better and longer because of the strike on the face?
Do you grip your clubs neutral and close your clubface 45 degrees?
This can be an option; or square it up and make it a very strong grip with square face or a bit of both! See “why your swing is underpowered shawn clement” and “most important video on grip ever shawn clement”
@@golflessons Thank you, my results are interesting, I've turned into Captain Hook, but now taming it back slowly, it's working...🍀
Are you looking at the top or bottom of the tee at set up?
Damn she crushes it!!
You bet! She is for real!!
What do you think of stack and tilt? I see a lot of the same teaching in yours. Straight trail leg most weight on front in downswing.
