Heave”, “hinge” and “levitate”.” Left pec starts the mini heave. You heave it into a hinge and the hinge levitates it up. Feel the perpetual motion drill. Be patient in the back swing, esp. for the driver because it takes what seems like a long time for the levitation to take place. Be patient for it. The weight of the club sets you (your wrists at the top). Shawn, unlike Jeremey you bend your right arm to 90, when does this happen with the min-heave? These videos helped answer my 3 questions to you on the Fine Tuning video.
Ok, good stuff! You will find answers to pretty much all questions eventually! 😝👍😀
PMD drill is key to feeling when gravity folds and unfolds the arm unit;
See “toss vs place shawn clement” on the regular channel on youtube where I review the PMD again; let the right arm fold whereever it wants to in the backswing; no placing and no holding on…
Wandering around Premium and stumbled upon these great vids. “Heave”, “hinge” and “levitate”. Fantastic. Wisdom in Golf speaks my language. Awesome stuff Shawn, and Jeremy and I even have the same Adidas golf shoes although I’m not a fan of them and now have some wide FJs.
Yeah Man! Jeremy has some True Shoes now too; nice wide toe box and the flattest shoes you can get!

Hey Sean,
Keith from Bend Or here…. I recall from a previous session that you discuss ‘reverse’ lag in the back swing. I recently found this sensation and it has helped so much with syncing. My guess is lagging the clubhead in the take-away sets my wrists/ hands a little sooner as opposed to wrists cocking last in the BS.
Thoughts ?
Hey Keith!
Like in the perpetual motion drill, the release into the backswing will make it feel as if your wrists set early; the key is to LET THEM set whereever they want to and make the biggest yet most strain free backswing that matches the direction you want the ball to start on; Shawn
Hello Shawn, I play off of 11 and today I filmed my swing and see that my club is way across the line at the top of the swing and my left arm is bent it really doesn’t look pretty!
The upside is that i’ve been regularly practicing your drills such as feet together, throwing the clubs and swinging the Kettlebell and as a result i’m actually hitting the ball so much better and i’m Task focused. I’m able to fade the ball which I’ve never been able to do and also draw the ball. Also I’m hitting it longer and i would say in a more consistent and in a controlled manner. However, I’m struggling to improve the positions at the top without it interfering with the task, what would you suggest?
I’m really looking forward to playing at the weekend to test the new techniques but i’m doubting myself after watching the filmed swing. Should I just ignore the across the line and bending left arm or how can I get both? Happy to send some swings over this weekend. Thanks Mike (from Kent, England)
Hi Shawn
I have a slow back swing (this gives me too much time to think) would this effect the momentum of the gravity wrist hinge or not, the lighter my grip(about a 1 or 2) the more wrist hinge I get but the swing does not feel very constructed, and when I tighten the grip I can’t feel the hinge at all
It is not about the grip pressure; it is about the quality of the whip through the dandelion stem or the delivery of the grass clippings towards the direction you want to start the ball! Use a firm grip and feel a nice whip through that divot of grass towards that direction. Your brain will figure out how firm depending on the lie and conditions of the shot!
Hi shawn
Any ideas what makes me stand up at the top of the back swing, trying to keep down just makes me loose focus on the task
Thanks
See the 2 ball drill Or the “early extension shawn clement” video; or the “golf is as easy as peeling carrots shawn clement”
Hi shawn
I had someone tell me that my down swing starts with my shoulders and looks to steep and my follow through goes to far to the left, is this just down to the wrong focus or am I missing something, he was talking about laying the club off more
Thanks
This IS ALL FOCUS BASED!!! You are not defective at all!!
See the “throwing the club” video and the first in the series of the “consistency series” and you will see what I mean!! The darn industry has everyone (except us) brainwashed into thinking we are defective and need a fix…brutal!
Thanks Shawn, I know you don’t believe in certain positions and the backswing must match the shot, am I right in thinking laying the club off is something else we should not think about
I know how hard it is for an engineer to not think about these things; did you see the “how to stay with your shot” or how to match the backswing to your shot” videos? Take your time to digest; this is like the movie “the Matrix” in here…😀😝
Correct; if you were to focus on that, what would be the purpose? 😜🤔
