    My best is 117 but my normal is 102 is that fast enough for a 3 wood cheers Steve

      Hi Steve! You would be much better off with a low spin 16.5 degree 4 wood or 18 degree 5 wood; you need 110 to BENEFIT from a 15 degree 3 wood. The Taylor Mades and Callaway Speed and Rogue fairway woods have been incredible!

    Great video! Now I’ll realize if I feel myself loosing my posture around contract, it’s because I’m in manipulation mode, and not using my legs.

  • From Aaron Dixson on USING WEIGHT TO HIT THE SHOTS-AXE DRILL WITH SAVY

    Hi Shawn, love the feeling of this drill, it feels like I am forced to generate momentum and pull the axe down on plane and use my legs then body.

    Hi Shawn,

    Been enjoying your videos. Was looking for any videos on hitting out of the rough. The only one I saw was #6 in the on course playing lessons. Curious if you’ve got something more in-depth.

      hey Vik! We will have some more this year on this for sure; the key is to choose the right task which is the “cutting of the dandelion stem” in my book and understanding there will be more resistance to that cut. Then you need to goldie-locks the club you are going to use to make sure you have the proper loft so that when you get through the stem, the ball won’t meet a wall of grass! 😝

  • From [email protected] on BACKSWING LEVITATION

    Hi Shawn , on my back swing I can gather the club with my irons excellently, however really struggle with driver and fairway wood .

    I can’t feel the club head at all and always feel that I rush the down swing

    Hi Shawn,

    Whilst my focus is on spinning the ball deep into my picture, I notice that at address my eyes are looking in the vicinity of the ball which is a bit blurry rather than fixed on the ball itself and I sometimes struggle with clean contact on chips and pitches.

    Should my eyes remain fixed on the ball throughout my backswing. I assume so as if I was cutting a dandelion my eyes would remain on the stem with focus of sending it into the picture?

    • From Shawn Clement on SPINNING THROUGH THE BALL!

      Hi Craig! Yes, when I gaze down where the ball is, the picture looks blurry too and it’s not that we need glasses, it is the fact that we are focused on a specific task which is dynamic! This is a good thing. Now the key to solid contact is to make the stem of the ball a precise intersection on the way to the target (flight plan of the shot-and the “target” represents the direction you want the ball to start on)
      The way to make this precise is to see the “blur of club” and match it to the ball and intermediate point and feel like if you allowed momentum to swing naturally in the direction you want to start the ball, that the blur of club would go through both.

      See all the “arc blur” and “unstoppable momentum” videos

  • From Thomas Parisi on LEAD HAND RELEASE DRILL ASSURANCES

    Hey there Shawn – the emphasis on keeping the elbow in front in the last video was unreal – wondering is this the same for the driver? TY – Amazing the progress of Mu – congrats Mu!!!

      Hey Thomas! Sorry I missed this one; and the answer is yes! See “the throwing series” and you will feel the difference between throwing a wedge vs throwing a Driver. Shawn

    Hello, Rather new here. I see a lot of tilt in all your set ups. When I look at the ladies on the LPGA I see very little tilt. Lydia Ko is more of my size. Also when you tilt – do you bump your hip forward to create that side bend (a la Axys golf?) or do you just bend the upper body to the right (right handed small lady 68 years – hcp 15). Weight equal?

      Hi Barbro! Welcome to our channel!
      what you want to look at is the tilt they have through impact; most of them remember have been classically taught and they have succeeded despite their distractions to body parts. If you watch Rory or Tommy Fleetwood or even Saheeth Thegala who almost won as a rookie on a sponsor’s invite last weekend through impact, they get to the deep tilts we advocate as this is the only way to get through the ball in an anatomically friendly way!
      just search the words “head position tilt hip turn” in the search box on the “list of videos by date” page. Enjoy and talk to you later! 😀👍

      Thank you, I look at your daughters wonderful swing and to me it seems as she is setting up almost to impact and then leave that position (naturally) in the backswing. For me when I (almost stack and tilt?) do that I get very stiff and I loose the feeling. Guess I have to stick to it and give it a further try. Understand what you are saying about – forget positions. Just focus on the target.
      Love all your videos and your explanations and the fact that you have your daughter on the show.
      BTW Have never before closed the faced – (thought that was a bad thing in the past lol). I love it and I can swing more freely out to the right. Hopefully some nice draws will show up soon.

      Good stuff! What I would like for you is to get some good HOOKS going and show your brain that side of “goldie locks” like in the “draw fine tuning” video and then it will find a better balance and get you there much faster. As for the “forget positions” YES-But you forgot an important “interchange” which is the TASK and the “target” is the direction you will deliver your task into which is a “flight plan” and therefore the direction you are delivering your task is into the beginning of this flight plan or the initial direction of the ball to the right or left of the intermediate point.
      Task examples:
      -send the dandelion stem into that direction with a nice momentum
      -send a divot peel into same
      -squeeze a ball through a doorframe with weight (momentum)
      -throw the club into a nice release into the initial ball flight with prediction that stem or peel is in the way
      -spin those tees that way with momentum
      enjoy! 😀👍

    Great stuff!
    Any chance you’ll be doing any golf schools in the US this year?

    Hi Shawn, working thru the modules. Switching from Stack and Tilt to a more conventional swing.
    Loving your style!

    I have an issue taking deep divots, I am clipping the dandelion roots but not the stem. Any ideas?

      Hey Aaron! Welcome to the channel and you bet!! Use the search box and see “grass whip training” and and the “tilt and hip turn” videos as well as get with the “feet together drill” and “feet together back to feet apart” videos and “weight shift with Savy” which will give you the proper feel of the backswing turn-fine tune this with “the walking drill” and the “kinetic chain facilitation series” (number 6 is my absolute favourite!)

      Other videos to help you get out of the S&T pitfalls are “uphill shots” “downhill shots” ball above and ball below feet which you will see in the latter part of this video series Wisdom 1.0 which are by far the best in the industry and are the ultimate acid test to any golf swing!

      You are home now; relax and enjoy!

    Shawn,

    I have watched several of your throwing the club videos. I find that I do get to a full finish when no ball is present At the beginning, I missed right of target most often and now I am missing left. In this video, I noticed your rhythm and how your head picks up the target during the perpetual motion. You also appear to be releasing the club in front of your body. Finally, I am much more accurate with the hammer throw. Is it because of the weight?

      I have just finally gotten to the “ball and turf in the way” or ball in the way with driver in the latest spinning series; in there, we talk about the weight of the ball will SLOW DOWN SLIGHTLY your ability to spin the tees using momentum, but it won’t PREVENT YOU FROM DOING THE TASK. This is the secret to having the ball in the way of the swing towards the flight plan and not becoming the destination. We will elaborate in the “target confirmation series” 2.0 soon!

    Shawn: Very helpful video lesson. It all makes sense to me, and most of the time it yields great shots. However, I continue to get a very disturbing number of double hits when chipping. More frequently with shorter shots. Any suggestions?

    • From Shawn Clement on Pitching

      Make sure you see all the chipping and short game videos in here as they are by far the best; the key is to use ONLY THE WEIGHT OF THE ARMS AND CLUB to perform the task of cutting the dandelion stem; no force, no interference. It is either ball position or direction of backswing not matching that forces you to get involved and that is when it gets messy.
