This video just might be the glue that holds my swing together. I have been implementing Shawn’s teachings regards the swing and I confess that my game actually regressed for a while. However what made me persevere was the occasional and then more consistent strike which was sweet and effortless with great distance, shape and trajectory.
I was aware that my position at the top did vary from time to time, hence a source of my inconsistency. Of course trying to work out where I should be only increased that inconsistency. Thinking of holding my trail elbow under my right pec and then turning back has introduced a stable and consistent position at the top for me and even though I have only tried this within the confines of my front room I am really looking forward to hitting the range tomorrow.
I have an important club competition this weekend and I am so looking forward to posting a good score and shutting a few playing partners up who have had a few sniggers at my expense whilst I’ve been going through the process of changing from hitting at the ball to sweeping through the ball and on to it’s target.
To anybody having second thoughts as to whether Shawn’s method of playing is worth sticking with, I’d say this; keep watching the videos and as you practice, little golden nuggets of advice and instruction will resonate with you and you’ll find that you are, all of a sudden improving and marvelling at how well you are sending the ball to your target.
Yeah man, I was working with 2 of my new winter students at the Royal Quebec Golf Club yesterday morning who both had trouble coordinating the turn of body and swing of arms; the elbow under the peck and the football drill go hand in hand and work wonders! Ball flights on the GC Quad became WAY MORE streamline and distance did not suffer. The comments on both were that the swing felt much more compact and the key after implementing this was to maintain the feel of the use of the weight of the arm club unit sligning through (collecting the compression and releasing the compression to the intended direction of swing)
Hello Shawn,
Awesome content. About fine tuning the arm motion. If the flight path is draw or fade, does the arm path and plane get flatter or steeper, respectively, or is it always the same? Or is the ball position and the degree of the turning in of the golf club take care of working these two flight paths?
Garth from Green Bay,
Go Pack Go!
I would not look at it that way at all as the human brain is terrible at body part positioning; however, with proper references, it can tell you if it can accomplish the task from where it is!

Great tip… starting to have the “lights come on” Wondering if you could go into more detail into the “release the club high concept related to this arm motion review and insight. Seems like the 2 issues are tied together and hoping my ideas match you teaching…
Wide in the direction of the intermediate point forces everything up;

Shawn I watched Cure for Hooks and Pushes, and you talk about the trail elbow clearing, Have you noticed that it is easier to clear the elbow since you dropped all the weight. Reason I ask is I have lost 30 plus pounds and trying to get to my best weight, and I am having an easier time clearing. I have always been told since starting this game 18+ years ago from every Pro or great Am player the thinner you are the easier it is to clear the body in the swing.
I asked the question above, maybe it was missed.
I thought you sounded like you had a cold or flu, in the Youtube Fix over the top video. Hope you are getting better. Can’t wait to see you in Florida, I left a Question on that fore mentioned video on Youtube that video maybe one of the best explanations ever on alignment! Really cleared up a big mystery for me on why I was not able to clear body out of the way, and blocking shots!
Great Stuff Charles! Looking forward to some nice heat as well; can’t wait!
See you soon!
Shawn
Hey Charles!
Sorry for missing this; just recovering from a nasty cold!
Yes! You feel lighter all around and more buoyant!
Great on you for getting the weight off and continue! Well worth it!
Hi Shawn
As a new Eagle member you have cured the problems I was having with half shots, pitches and even chips going sideways. Love the fine tuning video which I practiced yesterday. One problem I was having was bottoming out before the ball. Having been a Rotary Swing member I remember the advice on what they called posting up on the lead (left) leg. This involves weight shift to the left then pushing hard against the ground. This seems to bottom the arc out and help with shifting the left hip. I have watched a lot of the videos on your site, have I missed out on this move or should I be doing something else ?
Thanks
John
PS
Love the humour such as Skully the skeleton.
Hi John! Good stuff, glad you are enjoying the content!
The reason why you don’t hear me harping on HOW TO SHIFT OR POST ON LEFT is because our system (human body-central nervous system) has this built in for free! We have incredible self preserving wires built right in.
See my “ club speed “ video which is a great session on throwing the club and perform the “walking and cutting grass drill” you will see a nice series on “off season training” and after the grip and posture videos around the 4th to 9th one, you will have some walking drills there that will ensure that you stay nicely centered through out the motion;
When you OVERDO weight shift, you send yourself out in front of the ball and dislodge your swing’s centre. This will cause a reaction to throw the club quickly atnthe ball so you don’t miss it!
See my “turn tilt swing shawn clement” video on the regular channel; we have a perfected one on premium;
We have some nice “mile markers for centering” coming in the new consistency series coming very soon!
Shawn
