Wow. I'm telling you, Shawn, you are the best to ever teach golf in my opinion. This has been a mystery for me. I wondered why I could hit my 7i - 60 degree so well. It's because my ball position is ALWAYS in the middle of my stance. Now that I know that is true for ALL clubs (except Driver), I am now hitting all clubs much more pure and long. You make the game so much fun. I truly appreciate all you do for those who want to learn golf the simple way. Thank you sir.
How does one man hold so much golf knowledge and be able to serve it to whomever and see immediate results? How much do I owe you coach? Much love! you guys are great!

Love to see a course vlog n walk us thru the process n show case how the students understanding n execution of each every shot. Think it's gonna b beneficial for viewer n students without any Shawn's help.
We have some nice student lessons on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com One of the great things about coaching shot making on the range for us, is that there is no difference from being on the golf course.
Old tennis injury compounded by a cycling injury last year where I fell right on the shoulder; the left handed swing feels good; but the right handed swing has the same glitch as a baseball pitcher would have; it is getting slowly better though; driver is actually the best club at the moment!
Great video and instructions as a golf novice I didn’t appreciate the importance of ball position now that you’ve cleared that up for me how about ball position for chip and pitching shots
Right on Robert! Check out the series I did with my yoga teacher Chantal on my home page; called “swing builder series with Chantal” and then see all my “chipping shawn clement” videos.
I love that Mu and Sav are both lefties, as well as the occasional Evil Shawn (lefty) appearing. Makes it much easier for the oppressed lefties to learn!
Hey Golf Naples! You have a tremendous teacher of ours at Talis Park by the name of John Carroll, he is a life member of the PGA and a past Golf Digest Top 100 teacher and he has been teaching our philosophies for over a decade now. You will see him on our website at www.wisdomingolf.com and see the “about” page! 👍😀
@@golflessons Thanks Shawn, I met John when you gave me a lesson at the Alico Family Golf Centre Ft Myers FL in January 2018... I will look John up when we get back down to Naples for the winter - January 2022. All the best Hal
Greetings. Found your videos a week or so ago and I’m finding your explanations make more sense than any other I have heard. Watching Sav and Mu helps too, because it’s like looking in a mirror. Mimicking Sav’s stance at address, having the intermediate point, and emphasizing the target has made my results much more consistent. I’ve had a difference of night and day my last two range sessions, with your videos in between. I still need to let the club do more of the work, but boy, the times it has all come together feel great! I just watched this one, but the one I saw prior was your chip and pitch video from Winter Park I think. The prior one was chipping at your indoor facility. I’ll try to do some of that tomorrow. Thanks for putting these videos out!
I should say I’m recently retired and now live in a golf course community. My younger son is an avid golfer, so I’m doing a good faith effort to be able to play with him (and others) without embarrassment for me or others. Prior to this summer, I might have ‘played’ 10 rounds in 65 years. The vast majority of balls I have hit have been since April. So I’m on a steep learning curve.
@@golflessons The chip technique also stabilized in the 10-40-yard range. A friend and I are playing 18 on Greensboro National on Wednesday (weather permitting), so I’m sure the new methods will get a test in the real world. Thanks again!
That was from today’s session. Long stuff was about half perfect and those that weren’t were amenable to diagnosis. Mostly focus on ball and trying to start the downswing too hard.
Another great video Coach. Also glad to see all the advertisements happen at beginning and end 👍. I might have missed it but we did speak regarding the fitness program Sav used to cut the weight and gain the athleticism?
They say that when the student is ready the teacher appears. I guess I was ready. I’m on board with this. But I do have a curious question. Why the heck does Jack Nicholas say play the ball in line with the inside left heel? What’s that all about? By the way your assistants have very nice swings and your’s isn’t too bad either for a guy who’s not exactly yesterday’s spring chicken. Thanks buddy for the tip. It’s much appreciated. 😉👍🍀
You are welcome Paul! We have an amazing explanation of the Hogan and Nicklaus pictorial of ball position on our premium channel in the “diagonal stance series” at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com which involves WIDTH OF STANCE AND FEET POSITIONING to round out the incomplete explanations we got in their books! You then realize with a narrower stance and open stance with shorter irons and wedges that the ACTUAL BALL POSITION WAS BACK OF CENTRE!!!! 🤯🤯😝😀
@@golflessons That’s very kind of you. Thank you very much. May I offer you my sincerest wishes for a great continuation of your success and much much more.
I have recently started using a strong grip, and the good strikes are awesome. That being said, I have a new "bad shot".. chunky. I suspect the grip change has changed the path and the arc ends a bit sooner?? I'm pretty sure based on this that I have the ball too far forward with irons. It comes from a subconscious fear I developed a couple of years ago re shanking and I put the ball further and further forward in an attempt to avoid it.
Sav has a strong grip. However, it appears she opens the face at address with that forward press. Even with strong grip if I did that the I would hit a push.
Everyone is different! What matters is when you deliver the task in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball goes there! See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement”
Awesome stuff Shawn. Is it ok to place the ball in the middle of stance with 4-5 irons and hybrid? I'm sure I'm a bit too far forward with those shots.
Another great video. I’ve been doing the neutral grip closed club face but with ball about 2 balls inside the lead leg can hit very well at times but do pull hook straight left shots as well do you think that ball position cause be causing this thanks
These numbers show that my ball strike isn't as good as it should be. I swing 84 mph on average with my 7 iron (on the Rapsodo). But I only hit it around 150 carry. So I probably should increase my smash factor from 1.22 to 1.4..
We are at Royal Quebec in Quebec City; Mu is coming your way for a buddies from university trip! Loved playing in PEI when I was on the Canadian tour back in the mid 90’s!
@@golflessons Hey, I tired throwing clubs today! Then hit balls with my 7-iron, most of my shots were fat 😞 I set up where I wanted the ball to start ! I put the ball back of Center! Turn myself behind the ball! I focussed on throwing the club, out to the left of my target line! unfortunately the result was an extremely fat, straight shot, Or solid 😊 Pull or pull hook to the right. I even got a couple shanks😨likely Too Much from the inside. The more I try to go to the Target, the worst my results are for sure.
@@PhamtomKnight101 your prediction process is off! You are throwing at the ball instead of at the target; see How to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” Shanks, fats, pulls are you either too close to the ball or throwing at the ball.
@@PhamtomKnight101 of course! You bet! If you go to www.wisdomingolf.com and click on golf lessons and also see www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see the Double Eagle program which has been doing the best ever! Shawn
Sean, I recently got new clubs and they put me in x stiff shafts. Now all of a sudden I can’t draw the ball for the life of me. Is that normal? Miss my pretty draw :(
Don’t bother with that; the arc-blur of the club is what you want to direct through the intermediate point; see “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” On our premium channel it is called “arc-blur” series and “the goldie locks series”
I like it. I think I default play the ball way too far forward. Also not sure if related but also felt a lot of tension in my lead arm and shoulder. Recently I adjusted my setup to get feet a little wider and ball further back to where the lead arm/shoulder feels relaxed. To my eye it looks really strange like the handle is leaning really far forward and the ball is way back but it allows me "just swing" So far so good.
Take a look at our “goldie locks” series as well as our “predict contact” videos on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com which is only $9.95 per month for my life’s work. Then see all the “release” videos and follow that up with “draw fine tuning” and “fade fine tuning” which are another way to feel what is best by using the “goldie locks” concept which we use in so many other disciplines!
Hello Shawn, is the Rapsodo launch monitor a good investment? Have you tested the Mevo flight scope? Which one do you recommend for outdoor driving range use?
to focus on body part positions is a forever losing battle; what you want to do is get ready to deliver a task in the direction you want to start the ball; see “grass whip training shawn clement” and see where the best place to start is when cutting grass in the direction of the target!
Some times I find that my divots are way to the right and the ball goes way to the left. Even though my ball position is correct. Could it be that I'm swinging too much from in to out?
It means your club face is way too open and you have to swing to the right (as a lefty) to compensate for that. To reverse the process, see “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” and all my “release shawn clement” videos. Your brain needs to know that the ball will come back if you swing to the left (as a lefty) and for those on our premium channel it would be the “draw fine tuning”, “lead hand release”, “trail hand release”, “release fine tuning’, “snap release polish” videos.
I've been finding a forward press helps me get my syncing of my lower body ahead of my arms, am I seeing a forward press from these guys? beautiful swings.
You being new gives me nothing to go on; however, just search “hitting off the toe shawn clement” and I have a few for that; see also “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement”
Shawn would say it depends on your desired shot shape. Play it a little bit back to hit a draw, play it a little forward to hit a fade. Personally, I seem to be able to fat the swing no matter where the ball is. :D
@@DefenderTIM yes on ball positions; you just need to get into position to get through the ball, so see all the “tilt shawn clement” videos and “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and all the “throwing the club shawn clement” videos
@@golflessons Oh, I've seen 'em all already, sir. :D Putting them in to practice has been the hard part, but your stuff always helps when I'm able to keep it in mind. Right now I'm working on my grip (got my umbrella, got my knife) but with my old flippy swing I'm hitting pull hooks like a madman. I had some success the other day in the backyard hitting a line of foam balls with the walking drill. Still trying to find that natural and comfortable swing now that I can't brute force things with raw athleticism anymore. Tough part of learning through TH-cam is trying to convert something I know into something I can feel. I've been meaning to go buy some throwing clubs at the charity shop.
Shawn, thanks for all your video's. I've been struggling for a while, gone from 5 hcp to 8 ☹️ I'm a lefty, but my dominant hand is my right. Will this cause me problems in delivering a square club face at impact ?
There is a lot more to it than that; please see “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” and “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement”
This is the right of passage to the next level in golf; identify the shot that you missed and go to the moment you were preparing for it. Were you getting ready to “make sure” you were not going to miss it a certain way or were you focused on where you wanted it to go and you were comfortable and confident about how you were going to deliver that shot?
