What is Wisdom in Golf
Shawn Clement, one of the top 20 youtube teachers and the only one recognized for teaching without body part or positions, drives the ball over 300 yards both right-handed and left-handed and breaks par from either side, and is also the only one who ever qualified and played world-ranked events with 1/2 left and 1/2 right-handed clubs in the same bag! He is the ultimate expert on golf instruction!
He and his team will show you how to play to your full potential with our Online Golf Lessons Academy...

very helpful. On the full swing I assume the right hand (assuming right handed golfer) also always stays above the left on back-swing and under left on follow through. I tend to rotate hands and many teachers preach the tray position on back-swing whereby right hand ends up under left as it would need to do to keep a tray from dumping the dishes on the floor. Results in your system problematic. I can’t wait to try the right hand on top rule on back-swing etc on driving range. Or is this rule wrong in your system of using gravity and momentum???
Before you jump to conclusions; See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” then “arm motion fine tuning” and “release fine tuning”
Then we can talk!😀👍
Please provide English version of your answer to question about whether your feet are open at address for chipping and, if so, to what extent. Thanks.
You don’t want to turn the feet towards the target; you keep a square stance with feet slightly open and then drop the left or lead foot back just slightly;

I have been rewatching all of your chipping and pitching lessons, I especially like your lessons with “Chantel”. My problem is my very dominant right hand tries to hit at the last moment when I’m trying to let the AC unit cut the dandelion stem. This is especially noticeable on short chips on the course
Hey Joe! You know what the beauty of this way of going about things is? YOU CAN GO CROSS-HAND!
Does not matter how the hands go on the grip WHEN THERE IS NO HINGE IN THE WRISTS and we are using the weight of the ACU around a single pendulum point to make the shots.
Your brain is used to seeing the ball and hitting at the ball and has very deep connections to the “hit impulse” with the right hand; so going cross handed for a while will remove this connection and eventually, you will be able to come back; If you want.
There is no advantage either way to putting or chipping with either grip; the advantage is which one works! 😝😀👍
Shawn, how does your technique compare to the Stan Utley? Seems the big difference is that Stan promotes a risk cock. Seems your technique is more foolproof / simpler.
Hi Daniel!
Stan is a good observer but does not have the “anatomical and evolutionary” background to clean up and make his teaching more streamlined. Notice how this way is as simple as tossing a soft ball underhand to a plate and serve up an easy ball for someone to hit?
No need for wrists or elbows because there is no OBSTACLE (rib cage in the way of the arms) and the arms get to stay in their original state and swing freely from the shoulder sockets and ride the momentum through uninhibited.
If you freeze the lower body, the legs become duds that prevent the ribcage and pelvis from moving out of the way of the arm swing; then the arms hit you on the way back and collapse…
Thanks Shawn. I agree that your method will hold up better under pressure – less moving parts!
Hi Shawn
I am looking for any material you have which covers the sequencing of the body parts to provide maximum efficiency through the ball. Is this the video(s) about kinetic energy? Also any stuff on the timing of what moves when?
I noticed in passing your comment to someone about not thinking about the hips as the first move whereas some of the works on Physics I have been reading (only the bits I can understand which are very few!) suggest the hips must be turned out of the way first. Hopefully this is less confused than I have been recently about the whole timing issue!
Sorry to trouble you in this regard but couldn’t find anything about “sequencing” in the Search.
Many thanks. Regards Ian

Oooooh yes; this is my area of absolute expertise!!
See the kinetic chain series videos in premium-HUGE
Then see the Throwing the club video on premium just below the kinetic chain series 1-7
Enjoy!!
BTW, we are already wired to achieve this and THINKING about how to move the hips first is a good way to SABOTAGE THE ACTION!!
