Hi Shawn,I have a problem with alignment with position of my feet,if I take 3 or 4 practice swings to find out where the club is bottoming out.,I usually make good contact with the ball.I was taught if the club bottoms out 4 to 5 inches in front of the ball then I will make good contact .Is this a good thought?I also seem to want to accelerate though the ball harder at impact..Am I on the right or wrong path..any suggestions will be helpful.thanks Jim
Shawn, I’ve been struggling to find the right ball position with my 5 or 3 wood. I feel like I can usually get it right to create a draw or fade with my driver and my irons, but I haven’t got the right feel for the 5 or 3 wood. Any suggestions? John
Have a look at my “rip the driver shawn clement” video which is an oldie but goodie on the regular channel!
Hey Shawn – i’m looking for a video where you talk about the distance your hands are from your thighs increases as the clubs are longer (so closer for wedges, furthest away at address for driver). I *know* i’ve seen it – but i can’t seem to find it here or on YouTube. Any suggestions? Would be awesome for keyword search to be able to find key video concepts.
Thanks much! David…
Thanks Shawn, now I finally know why my 5 irons fade! The ball is too much forward in my stance. Great advice, I’ll ask for some more in the next videos. 👌
Shawn, would it be right to say, for starters, that the ball position would be the same for all irons, at the centre of you sternum ? So, an iron 5 would require the same position as a wedge? Thanks for the great videos and for making or keeping it simple.
Yes, however, please don’t try to place in the centre for a so called “straight shot” !😝
You play the ball slightly back of centre; more precisely the front of the ball touching centre for draw and the back of the ball touching the centre for the fade.
To play a straight shot intentionally would require a forced manipulation that would sap power and accuracy because it prevents you from allowing the club to release you completely!
You plan on starting the ball on a specific line that is safe and working it towards the flag or the part of the green or fairway you want to end on. The brain has no issues releasing to safety; and if the ball stays straight, you are safe, just not as close as you wanted. This way, you hit more fairways and greens and hit longer in the long run!
