  • From Eckhart Diestel on SLOW MOTION- LEAD HAND RELEASE

    Wonderful video Shawn, thank you.

    I recently had some success in practicing timing using the concept: ready – steady – go.

    ready – set up
    steady – swing back and down swing

    go (with emphasis) – the timing of the ‘go’ starts roughly just before impact and matches the release that you show in this video.

    Thus the go is timed surprisingly late. This assures the ‘through the ball’ and ‘maximum speed beyond contact’, or, expressed differently, assured continued acceleration of the club head during impact.

    Thus the ‘go’ happens at ‘release’, not at the top of the back swing.

    Best regards

    Eckhart

    This grip technique is hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Mu you give a different perspective with the say, “Cooking with rice”. This I will add to the training. Thanks.

      Watch “how to stop hitting with the right hand” on premium; I am in that lesson now and we just changed from 17 degrees closed face to 1.5 degrees closed and peppering the green from being 70 yards left of green.

    These two mile marker videos are wonderful. Spot on. You don’t really realize it was a balance issue, until your told.

    I’m just back from the park where I threw some hand sledges, some secondhand irons and an 8-pound maul. For the first time I feel some hope that I can develop a competent swing. I don’t want to sound grandiose but this really has been transformative.

      Hey David! IT IS VERY TRANSFORMATIVE! You realize that the golf club should always be delivered this way; WAY TO GO FOR GETTING OUT THERE!!! Now you will reap some serious benefits; I am very excited for you. Shawn

  • From Lyle Goodman on Hammer Drill

    Is there an advantage to swing outside of the ball to look for the arc blur?
    I’ve seen you demonstrate this by swinging on the inside of the ball, maybe just personal preference?

    • From Shawn Clement on Hammer Drill

      Great question Lyle; we would have to try it out! 😀👍
      Anytime you can see where the club is passing when you swing to the target, then it is a prediction model. So I am sure there is benefit to it.

  • From Stephen Brejc on The Grip - Part 2

    I’ve just joined Wisdom Golf Premium. So far every video that I’ve watched quits at some point as if it’s trying to load and I’m haven’t been able to finish any video. I never have a problem with my internet connection. Can you please help me with this. Thank you. Chip Brejc

      Hi Chip! Sorry for that; it has happened in the past a long time ago and we have enjoyed some very consistent playback with the Vimeo player; it could be that your browser needs an update or you can try with a different browser; also, you can check the little cog wheel at the right bottom of the screen and switch to 720p and see if the lower resolution works better and this will confirm if your internet is a bit bogged down.

    “[If] you don’t have a reference as to where the club is going to pass, then how can you let it go?”

    This is the best piece of advice I’ve ever heard. Thanks!

      Yessir! Next is “predict contact” and the “goldie locks series” if you haven’t seen those yet! 👍😀

  • From [email protected] on SLOW MOTION- TAKEAWAY FEET TOGETHER

    Thanks for these videos….What struck me about this one is how anchored your head is behind the ball. With the head tilt/turn it is like your left eye is staying right over that gap you talk about between the leading edge of the club and ball when cutting grass. I know that is a function of the swing not a part of what you are ‘doing’ but for me that anchored head with feet together does two things, it feels like I end up hitting behind the ball and also feels like it limits my ability to allow the release to the right of my IP. Wish I could replicate that feel/look as my guess is it will unlock some freedom and speed on the release.

    • From Shawn Clement on SLOW MOTION- TAKEAWAY FEET TOGETHER

      The purpose of feet together is to use the returning of the butt to catapult the arms and club into the direction you want the ball to start. If you see a ball and try to hit the ball, good luck!😝. So what are you getting ready to experience when you address the ball?

    • From [email protected] on SLOW MOTION- TAKEAWAY FEET TOGETHER

      I like the toss/toss feel that results in a release toward my target. I use a feature in the background like a gap between trees to give me a spot in the distance that I’m trying to toss my club into. I don’t always feel the release so then I have to play around with trail hand release and I start to get that feel about 1/2 the time. But during this practice, it is a challenge to compound ideas. I did play around with this some yesterday and it works fine if I only do 1/2 swings. It is only when I do full swings where things fall apart.

      Sounds like you need to throw the club some more! And we should do a swing analysis next to see what the heck is going on with full swings.

    Just Great Shawn ! You cannot do too many of these Slow Motion videos in my opinion. I hope you have plans to do the Snap Release . I want to see (When/Where) in the swing you begin releasing the angles created in the Backswing all the way through Impact. I want Deeper Lag , don’t we all ? 🙂

    Great Shawn …. Can you do this type of Slow Motion while you’re striking a ball ? As slow as you can get it.

    Great video slow mo. A centered cantilever on a shock absorber. I sometimes get thin shots with the head set back but with a good tempo and loading the front leg and then clearing the hips…bingo…effortless compression ball, grass, +/- dirt….thanks Shawn
