@@EnTitledTown hi Caesar! That is a very general question and calls for my more universal video series and I have 2 options for you: see “swing builder series with Chantal shawn clement” which is an awesome series I did for a novice student of mine who is also my Yoga coach (me being a novice there too) and or head to our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see our “beginner series” or our “wisdom 1.0 series” or even our “senior series” which all start with our wisdom fundamentals based on simple tasks.
It amazes me how cupped your left wrist is, and how across the line you are at the top, but STILL flush every shot you hit. Just goes to show... A person can make ANYTHING work, if they stay focused on the task. I'm not criticizing you at all Shawn. It's actually VERY inspiring, and proves that "positions" aren't the most important thing. I love your content. It's a breath of fresh air.
I move toward the target first (press) and then back, as you have shown in previous videos. I find it helps keep my arms and wrists loose. Just shot -2 (gross) finishing with four birdies. Two years ago I played off 14! I'm 53, so there's hope for everyone out there, if they follow your lead and practice regularly.
this is a good helpful video, i do remember mike weir's waggle. the 2 young people have very similar swings, nice and wide going back, a good prompt for me. thnx.
Gave this a quick try and amazingly was able to hit the ball. I've been doing some stops at the top of the backswing to make sure I have a good plane, but that's not something I would do in play. But I will try this out as I have a couple tendencies this might help me with. My backswing can be too long and I have a hard time bringing it all back, and I can sometimes get unbalanced or stand up a bit too much on the top of the backswing. Just in some brief tests, I was able to make good contact and not feel unbalanced, instead making sure my stance doesn't move offline. More downswing, less backswing, which for me is a good ratio,
Shawn, you mention you’re a happy Callaway family, do you think these techniques work as well with other clubs? I’m just about to purchase Cobra irons. Also, I’ve got offset driver and hybrid, how does set up change if you have offset clubs? Bought to fix my slice but I’m hoping your instruction will reduce that! Thanks , loving your work 👍🏼
Moe Norman comes to mind here, he used to start a foot or so behind and always said, "it gave him the advantage of being 1/4 way into his back swing already"! I see a lot of similarities in what you teach and what Moe did in his swings....
@@golflessons for certain....wish I'd have had the chance to seen him swing his clubs live, vs. the hundred or more hours of video footage I've seen...so grateful for those who were wise enough to captured all I've been able to see of him here on youtube! The sounds his clubs made as he struck golf ball after golf ball, were incredible! Never heard any others make those sounds as the balls came off faces of his clubs! A few who come close, I have yet to hear any as crisp and LOUD as his were!
Taking the club too far inside was one of my demons. I found that it was directly related to a flat shoulder turn. If the lead shoulder works in a more downward manner off the ball the club stays on plane better. It also increases shoulder tilt and keeps the club more in front of the body as opposed to getting deep and wrapped around the body. If you ever studied Hogans swing he does this wonderfully. Mr. Hogan had a flat arm swing but once the club reached parallel in the backswing he stood that shaft up very abruptly. Wow what a beautiful swing. Mr Hogan dedicated a large part of his book on the waggle. He felt it was that important. Although it was very different from Mr. Weirs waggle. Mike's waggle was more of an arm waggle whereas Mr. Hogans was almost entirely a wrist waggle. Great video. Grand babys here got to run. Thank yinz
A old school pga instructor told me swing sequence is hips first, body and arms. This helps the hips wind up nicely But modern instruction advocates up[er body initiates takeaway and arms and then hips. This has a tendency to freeze the hips and for amateurs like me causes early extension
Please give me list of these instructors? Because modern teaching is changing quite a bit more these days! The human kinetic chain is not wired with any of the above you mention (which have and are still unfortunately taught) See “sledge hammer axe drill shawn clement” as an example of how the human machine uses the ground IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to gather a backswing and deliver an action THROUGH something TOWARDS somewhere.
@@golflessons shawn, he says the takeaway is initiated by moving thebrlt buckle to the right...his sets the sequence ...it is a simple and easy to remember move.
@@golflessons hips initiating the swing is the core ideology that to me was new and was contrary to what is taught and was taught the last 20nyears and mentioned numerous times in golf magazines as " one piece take away "...to me this was preventing the lower body from turning as it should. So the first time I heard this guy say it I was taken aback ...but one piece to me is hips and arms and shoulders all turning .....
@@Rd-bi7vr yes, exactly! See “best way to shift weight in the swing-take a walk-shawn clement” and “grass whip training shawn clement” where we walk and cut nice tidy rows of grass-in both directions! When going into the backswing from the follow through, you are performing the proper backswing to mirror and imitate when with one shot and one ball.
Throwing the club into a specific window in the sky, yes! See “high and low shots shawn clement” and “best lesson I ever got from Moe Norman shawn clement”
@@charlyo7 I wish! We are still in lockdown with 8:00 PM curfew; borders are still closed and if I fly, I have to quarantine 2 weeks coming back...travel is just not on the menu right now...
Great video however I don’t see Sungjae Im pausing like this on his backswing. He has a continuous slow backswing and is not pausing as you describe here. I can see the benefit of your lesson but am I missing something here on the pause? - thanks
Simple question. JT is a great player, no doubt. However, he does go a couple/few of holes where he can spray it on those couple/few holes in a row. What is he doing different during those bad holes?
Classic example on the 2nd shot of the zozo at Sherwood CC on hole #16 par 5; he said “I did not want to miss left” just before he swung...happens to the best of them!! All he needs to do is spend an afternoon with me and his Dad so I can show them what to focus on and what to ignore on a neurological standpoint to show them how the machine is wired so they can keep him focused on what he wants instead of what he wants to avoid.
Don’t like this video Shawn.The first of all that Ive seen of yours but I think the idea distracts and clutters the mechanisms you’ve advocated so brilliantly before.
Hi Nicolas! Thank you for the feedback; how so? The takeaway is to confirm the intentions on the direction we want to deliver our actions! Like the “how to match backswing to target shawn clement”
Hello Shawn I just think that of all the fantastic videos you’ve done this one seems to go against the principle of not being position orientated. You say yourself in the video that it creates a potential for drawing the mind away from the target and the eyes to follow the club. It’s in no way a criticism(how could I as at my level) but it does feel a bit conflicted with all of your other material. Which I love, have benefited hugely from and will continue to follow. Thank you for taking the time to respond anyway.
@@nttrumpet interesting that you say that; no positions here, just a takeaway that allows the golfers to confirm that he or she is on track for the direction of the task; which is really important as this leads to being centred in the swing. The head staying centred comes from the awareness that the swing is staying with the target!
A very underrated and overlooked aspect of the golf swing! This will help so many of you!!👍😀👌💪🤛🏾
Is there a specific video that you demonstrate the basic setup/grip/backswing that Sav & Mu are demonstrating?

Glad to hear you are with the Callaway family!
Thank you Newman! Very exciting! Their tech is off the charts!
Finally a coach with students that are hitting left handed .. this is perfect as I'm a lefty!
Very well guys!!! Waiting so bad for the fade shot. My hardest shot in the bag. Thanks a lot
It will be up on the premium channel this Wednesday! 😀👍
Hit the bell!
Sav hits it so pure. I can only dream of hitting balls like that.
What I would do to have an in person lesson from Shawn! Keep up the great videos. We appreciate all the good information 👍
You are so welcome! We are very busy these days with online sessions! Check them out at either www.wisdomingolfpremium.com or www.wisdomingolf.com

Unrelated question. What kind of turf do you use in the studio to hit off? I'm looking at building a simulator and that looks nice.
From the boys at Design Turf in Toronto! The best!

Shawn unrelated to this topic but how do you hit a higher draw playing the ball middle of stance? Is the intention throwing the club to the sky?
Throwing the club into a specific window in the sky, yes! See “high and low shots shawn clement” and “best lesson I ever got from Moe Norman shawn clement”

He does not do it all the time; but sometimes it is VERY APPARENT.
It might help the viewer if you laid down sticks to better see the alignments: feet, target, centre of stance.
Thank you for the suggestion! 👍😀

What is the name of the lead-in song? I just kind find it. Thank you.
See the description in the video
The way she gets her left hip behind her is unreal.
I thought you would hate the JT take away. He turns his head and looks at the club in the backswing.
The takeaway is good; notice I say don’t let the eyes move!😝😝
Bubba Watson
Yessss!!!! 😀👍💪👌
Pretty sure JT has more hinge in his waggle
His is a different purpose but still fits the shot he is trying to hit; sometimes he does not stay with the shot but still is a good model.
Down below
I dont like the way that this guy intentionally shape his student in to a super strong grip
Not for everyone! For a lot of golfers though! See “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” for the logic and anatomy and task behind it!
