Hi Shawn, IMHO, THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER! With a BS in Kinesiology (Hi Mu) and as a PT I have always admired your functional approach and the biomechanical knowledge in your instruction. All of which makes perfect sense. Your "10 Commandments" on one video is pure gold for me. (oh yeah...and the fact that Sav/Mu are fellow LHers is a bonus.) Thanks Shawn. You and the "kids" work very hard to make us better golfers.
Thank you so much Joe! Thank you for taking the time to comment and give us an important seal of approval from the medical community! We will continue to bust our behinds to bring you our content and make the world of golf a better place than we found it. Wish them luck this week; we are in Atlanta at the WORLD LONG DRIVE FINALS! 😀👍👊🫶
I'm saving this one for future reference…amazing video! Whenever I get lost I always refer back to our great Canadian Coach Shawn Clements. Cheers from Nova Scotia. MikeR.
This is it in a nutshell folks. For me the key is the relaxed pause at the top of the back swing. That heavy feeling of arm/club unit at the top gives you the green light to start the downswing (kinetic chain takes over). The heft will feel like you are swinging 2 clubs. Your balance and timing will be spot on. Also much less taxing on the body. Well done Shawn!!! Cheers.
So glad I revisited this video. It’s amazing how each point supports the other. I find a low strain level on the takeaway anchors a better balanced takeaway giving you the green light to proceed. The rest of the points follow suit. The on range video showing Freddie, Vjay and Ernie is a good example. Without feeling balanced and anchored the thought process changes to survival/hit ball mode. Feeling the weight of the arm/club unit is key to know when the time is right to use it to your advantage.
Thank you so much for the appreciation gesture; it all helps in our quest to bring you the best golf instruction content and for Sav and Mu’s competitions in Long Drive!🫶👊❤️💪👌😀
Hey Shawn. Awesome video. For those that are into feedback utilizing technology, I just finished a practice session with my 3D motion capture software & ever swing I made using Shawn's teaching, produced perfect kinematic sequencing & more rotational speed thru the ball than I have ever had! Thanks Shawn.
Shawn I think you just fixed all swing flaws, this is absolutely brilliant thank you. Would you apply the same for fairway woods and driver? Please let me know thanks Harvey 😅
Always enjoy your insights. Regarding the grip, do you have any videos describing HOW the grip the club? Would it be strong grip with square face or strong grip with closed face?
You bet! Starts with placing the hands properly on the club with “grip and wrist hinge shawn clement” a real oldie but goodie; then see “knife the grip shawn clement” and then see “best video on grip ever shawn clement” and “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” and for the APPLICATION in real life, THIS REQUIRES A DYNAMIC APPROACH. See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” and “”hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” On our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com the titles are “grip” “grip part 2” and “important grip update” and then see the applications dynamically with all the “release” videos including the “important release update”, and “draw fine tuning” and “fade fine tuning” which show you how to combine the grip-clubface relationship for creating the ball flight plan you want. ENJOY!!
I have n amazing guy in Naples Florida! Well worth the trip! John Carroll is a former top 100 Golf Magazine teacher and he is at the Talis Park Golf Club
Great video, Shawn! Regarding using the strong grip, you said the left hand should be placed where 3 or 4 fingers show. What about where to place the right hand?
@@golflessonsbefore the second pendulum on the downswing, your right wrist is facing up and then you say it wraps around the ball, it seems like a last second roll but doesn’t that require timing? I’ve seen you demonstrate this with a hockey stick or the jai alai basket, but they have curves. Why not let the wrist work with extension and flexion keeping it parallel to the spine with no roll or wrap as in a throwing motion.
Hey Shawn - how do you place your elbow especially the right one for a right handed player - do you point it towards the ground or just let them fall loose
Shawn doesn’t teach body positions. He teaches tasks. Like you wouldn’t ask where do my elbows go when you’re throwing a punch or throwing a ball. If you love golf he’s the best.. His premium channel is worth it. Wisdomingolf.
Hey Joel! There is a great video called “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” that shows how the rest of the body lines up towards the target in relation to the stronger grip; on our premium channel, it is called “important grip update” and you want to combine that with the “football drill series” which is specific to the trail or right elbow “position” at address and during the swing as well as the “hammer drill”. Super clear and you won’t look at the golf swing the same way after that!
You have good vertical control, you seem to lift up slightly to the top and come down slightly and back up slightly as your club head pass through the ball. Am I correct?

what was old is now new again; everyone is chasing their tails; how about we simply match the swing’s momentum to the direction we want to start the ball and let the brain figure it out for us?❤️👍😀😝

Shawn , Was watching Sav today . It appears she is under the weather or has an injury. Didn't look at all like she was in ramp it up mode. Very tentative . Hope all is fine.
She was trying too hard; had a great day yesterday to get into this spot; was awesome to watch her fill the grid with balls! but day 2 she felt she had to do more to continue on as she faced the top distance women and too much strain slows you down.
It must just be me, but I find it painfully difficult to follow your practice swings when you're saying one thing but doing another.. simply because your takeaway is super steep and NOT on plane in any way. There are moments where your practice swing stays on plane back and through but your full swing definitely isnt. I know everyones "feel" is different, but visually, I find you difficult to follow... then your test subjects are always lefties which also throws a wrench in watchability. For me anyway :) Surely its just me... LOL
Yea, it's just you, jack Nicholas has an upright swing, he also had the longest straight drive in the history of major winners. In 1963 jack won the pga long drive championship with a 341 yard drive, steel shaft and a little wooden head. Several recent contests 2018,2019 would've lost to jacks persimmon head driver. There is an article showing how upright is right.
Shawn can hit it over 300 yards with driver from both sides of the ball, a cupped wrist at the top is not a problem, Bobby jones with many in the golf community has him as a top 3 of all time cupped at the top. What matters is through the strike zone and shawn like bobby is perfect.
The old adage of "swing your swing" has never been more relevant with this guy You could get 50 golfers and all 50 will swing differently yet they'll be good at golf The only thing that matters in golf is how the club face makes contact with the ball and however you swing is irrelevant if you're hitting the ball right Shawn clearly knows alot about golf, is a very good golfer yet his swing looks absolutely horrendous

Yes and yes!
Fantastic video. Thank you Mr Shawn.
Great lessons Shawn. A question. Should I grip strong with the club face square? I guess so. Thanks for the video
Have a look at the “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” and you will see how to build that grip into your set up seamlessly.

I get better just by watching your swing.
Great way to learn! Very harmonious action that flows with the human anatomical grain! 👍👌👊
Do you have any golf schools or teachers in Bradenton FL that I could get help from ?

Great video, Shawn! Regarding using the strong grip, you said the left hand should be placed where 3 or 4 fingers show. What about where to place the right hand?
Under the left; parallel to it in general

How does this sort out with the video you did recently on pulling your right foot back like Ben Hogan and demonstrated by Mu.
It works hand in hand with it! See the diagonal stance series on premium to sort out ball position so that it is not too far forward!
Hi Shaun,
Are you a fan of the Jumbomax grips?
Only if it fits the person’s needs! Notice they have smaller sizes now?
You have good vertical control, you seem to lift up slightly to the top and come down slightly and back up slightly as your club head pass through the ball. Am I correct?
Yes, you bet! This os one of the things the human machine does best! 👊👍💪😀
On a cold,wet, windy Texas afternoon Kyle Berkshire made a long drive officially recorded carry distance 577 yards.
Was it not Wyoming?
When your wrist does at the top that opens your club face? That is on your right wrist?
If you keep your right arm bent longer will that work?
Be more specific about where you want the right arm to extend towards! This will time it’s extension properly.
En français svp !!!!!!

The new way of thinking is to swing OTT. Hogan and Snead both did. Now Woods
what was old is now new again; everyone is chasing their tails; how about we simply match the swing’s momentum to the direction we want to start the ball and let the brain figure it out for us?❤️👍😀😝
@@golflessons Sounds good
Forgive me father for i have sinned.... I was indoor golfing yesterday and i broke commandment # 10...
and 1 thru 9 😢
Wish I could see face on view so I can see the ball position and head tilt

I agree- why such a severe upright swing?
Yea, it's just you, jack Nicholas has an upright swing, he also had the longest straight drive in the history of major winners.

There is an article showing how upright is right.
The way he cocks his wrists with a cupped left wrist at the top lends itself to a more upright swing, IMO.
The principles still apply. It's like transposing music
Shawn can hit it over 300 yards with driver from both sides of the ball, a cupped wrist at the top is not a problem, Bobby jones with many in the golf community has him as a top 3 of all time cupped at the top. What matters is through the strike zone and shawn like bobby is perfect.
