This video stopped at 1:30 at 1020mps. I switched to 720mps and it worked.
Hello Shawn, since a short time I became member. It’s awesome. Gravity it’s all about.Lots of top videos. You never talk about strait shots. Why?
Hi Shawn,
You are the only one teacher I introduce to my son and my friends. One question needs your hep to clarify:
What’s the line for the takeway? Will it follow the target line(straight) or shoulder line which will be slightly opened after braced tilt? If shoulder line, that means the backswing will be slightly inside, right?

Hi Chien Chien!
Backswing should always match the direction of the shot! Please see “stay with your shot shawn clement” on the regular channel and then see “working the ball” on premium! Always choose a ball flight; fade or draw; then match the backswing to it!
Shawn,
Would you suggest something about the width of the stance on full shots and driver.
See the “width of stance and finish position” on youtube and premium!😀👍
There is no such thing as a straight shot! Really Really! 😀
Hey Shawn, loving your philosophy and teaching. Soaking it up like a sponge. Question on the braced tilt. I believe I have heard you say you feel a 60/40 or possibly a 70/30 lead leg vs. trail leg weight distribution at setup. At the top of your back swing what sort of ratio do you feel then? Do you also feel the brace shift from lead leg to trail leg at the top? Thanks! -Adam
Hey Adam! See the walking drill video! It will explain everything; plus you need to experience that one for yourself big time!
I have to agree with dctheobald on his comment about how the left knee has to feel like its kicked in. It was a critical feel to having the proper brace and took me some time to become aware of. I was having an issue of defaulting to the ball due to some disconnect from my brace and posture and realized how my left knee wasn’t moving in properly. Once I adopted the feel of the kicked in knee, my posture and braced tilt was much better and I felt like it was key to stopping the disconnection from my shot.
As soon as I came to this kicked in knee feel realization, Hogan’s 5 fundamentals came to mind, how he says to start with the knees in since we need to use the inner muscles of our legs – this seems to really apply to the braced tilt and also the posture! Pushing the knees together forces the posture required to get the suction cup feet feel as well so it seems like a good posture acid test to me.
BTW I would say that the Hammer Drill video on Premium WIG is a braced tilt video that is far better than any of the free youtube vids!
Hi Shawn – braced tilt is the key to your setup philosophy – but there is only one premium video on it? 🙂 I know there are a ton of videos on YouTube but i get lost in them. Beyond this video, which ones (and preferred order?) from YouTube should i review on braced tilt? This is my focus of winter study! Thanks! David
Best ones are the latest called:
“turn tilt swing shawn clement”
“tilted spiral part 4 shawn clement”
My series with Jukka is very good with this as well, and you will see some more coming up in Eagle;
The key is to find the task that allows you to find the tilt and understand why it fits the task; then do some goldie locks on the tilt and see what does not fit the task.
Then it is about the mile markers; are you staying with the task back and through or no?

Hi Shawn – you are probably going to laugh at this but i’m trying to confirm my feel of the ‘brace’ part and not so much the tilt. I find when i worry more about the target, the tilt takes care of itself. However, after reading Brandel Chamblee’s book “The Anatomy of Greatness” last winter (btw, i’m super excited to see that he and you align on almost all details because i loved that book and your videos – its rare to find golf instructors agree!) i realized that i was bracing on the wrong side. I was tending to kick my right knee in (for right hand golfer) vs. getting the left knee in on the turn. Once i switched sides on the knee kick in, i started seeing amazing results. The part that flew over my head all summer was the brace on the left side too. To me, it feels like you get the left knee kicked in, but the weight needs to be “locked in” on the left heel at address for stability. I tended to spin out a lot on the downswing which seems to indicate on enough weight was on the left side through impact…but was trying corroborate my theory! Thanks Shawn!
I think I’m in the same place as you DC. I’m going to try focusing on ‘getting the ground’ just before I start the downswing, but keeping that left knee ‘inside’ my body, rather than letting it ‘flare’ out. I think this what I’m seeing Shawn do – but it’s deceptive because it looks like the body is moving towards the target, but this happens well after contact, pulled by the momentum of the club.
But I could be wrong!
