    Love it, Sent you a email this morning about braced tilt. Watching the premium channel this afternoon. Hand forward + Lag + Sticking to target is key to avoid hitting ground before ball.
    Great video that explain how to collect and release! Can’t wait for the driver video and go practice with this new drill!
    Thanks Shawn!

    Love this drill. For me the lag confirms that my mind has accepted that the kinetic chain will allow my tool to cut the dandelion and release out there to the target. Not submarining the sequence by trying to hit the ball with early release. As the videos show the whole process is very dynamic but not involving high effort. Thanks. These videos are so helpful.

    hi shawn,
    i have a question about some details of the engine of your swing . Offcourse i hear you saying about the legs are the motor. But you taught us also the buttcatapult. As i see you swinging it looks like that you pull your arm-structure inwards in the delivery position. Could that be a left hip activated pulling hip. Can you tell me 1. when you swing buttcatapult and 2. if you pull or push the club inwards AND 3. when you swing only legs?. 4.Or do you combine them? Thx. Ernst

      Hi Ernst! What moves the butt are the legs! It is all part of the kinetic chain! 👍😀
      when you see the “kinetic chain facilitation-engagement series” especially part 6 is my favourite, you get all included in one simple task! 💪

    I really see how you lead with the trail elbow. This is something I know I need to improve.

    Great video. I would love to see more over head shots. I see a big difference between Shawn’s swing and the kids. Hand positions and path are different. Shawn’s hands and arms in back swing, seem more out away from body and up over head and neck, and less around. Now that I’m 66, I was thinking that age may be affecting this. Is this what’s happening?

      Not so much no Joseph; it is just the way I came to engage my kinetic chain through 44 years of play! 😝😀👍 We will do a lot more this winter for sure as I have a nice overhead camera coming on October 4th!

      Check out target confirmation with Driver in the “off season training part 10”
      sorry, it happens sometimes that I will announce a part 3 or 4 and not get to it till later or at all; depends on the case and it does not happen too often though so no worries! 😝😀👍

  • From Christian Duguay on Lead Hand Release

    I played hockey right handed but iam a natural left handed. I play golf 20 years right handed but 7 years ago, i switched left handed but i don’t feel iam getting better. Should I switch back to right handed in golf ?

    • From Shawn Clement on Lead Hand Release

      Hi Christian! Answer these questions please:
      1-tennis backhand or forehand is better for you?
      2-baseball power at bat? Good or ok?
      3-what side do you kick the ball for soccer?
      4-what side do you throw the ball?-good arm and good sling or just ok?

    • From Christian Duguay on Lead Hand Release

      1 Forehand or backhand I don’t played much tennis
      2 bat whit left hand down like chopping wood with an ax
      3 kick with right
      4 just ok, shot with my left hand,

      Thanks! Ps. when I follow your system, it’s easier to generate speed when Iam swinging right than left!

      The acid test would be the “throwing the club drill” and the “throwing series”
      have you tried this yet? Whatever side you throw the club better on, you want to play golf on that side.

    I have the throwing motion down once I get it moving. But how do I get it started from a stationary golf stance? Any triggers?

      See “starting the swing smoothly to slow things down” and “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy” for starters!

    Thank you very much Nita and Shawn 👍 Very brave from Nita to come in front off the camera. It was also nice to see Nita. Her swing already looks like nice swinging motion. Me and my wife are very similar on the range. She wants help but don`t want to hear any comments her swing. I often stay quiet and try to smile 😉 We just had a baby and golf is now almost on a break. I will show this to her when we have time to go on the range again. Im sure this will help her!

  • From Donald Moir on Working the Ball

    Hi, Shawn. Ball flight question. Context: on the range; driver, maybe 3 wood; attempting draw or perhaps neutral (to target line); happens only on occasion (and I don’t think I can reproduce consciously); good ball contact; wind not a factor. What I observe is: for about first 2/3 of flight path, the ball appears to shimmy back and forth in its horizontal plane, as if it can’t decide whether to spin right or left. And then, in last 1/3 of flight, the ball makes up its mind as to spin direction and ends normally. Of course, one just re-centers and goes on to the next attempt. And it must be only appearance, not actual spin. But am curious what produces the effect. A noticeably different appearance from ball flight where spin is more locked in from impact. I’ve looked up knuckleball flight for baseball, but that doesn’t seem to fit in golf context.

      Hi Donald; you will get this kind of flight when you strike the ball above the equator and towards the toe with an open face or towards the heel with a closed face…

      Thanks. Helpful in absence of a flight monitor.

    Hi Shawn
    Focussing on task is the revolution and this one is so good! Grass whips are very hard to come by in Australia-and maybe we pay a premium at over $A220. What should I be trying to get and what should I be paying? It seems the ideal help for swing rhythm and timing.

  • From [email protected] on Shawn's Favourite Drill - Driver

    Thanks for this series and I can see how it would improve practice if you can make it work….My questions is, how does the acid test (dropping the club down to the ball) prior to the toss/full swing compare to an actual dynamic swing? For me I don’t seem to get a good correlation between the acid test and the actual contact. I really try to remove strain and just toss/toss with the legs but contact seems inconsistent once I get into the middle irons, woods/driver. Thanks Tom

    • From Shawn Clement on Shawn's Favourite Drill - Driver

      Hey Tom! The drill is to feel that you are collecting the ball from where it lies and you are delivering it in the direction you want it to fly; so when you see the club at impact, you see the shaft leaning forward and getting the look and feel of that collect and release.

      collect & release like a hockey wrist shot?

      Well that was crazy…I don’t know that I’ve ever felt that before but up through my 7 iron on a few it really felt like the ball was on the club a split second longer and it was less of a collision feel.

      Was not able to get that feel with the driver/woods/long irons. Still felt like a collision not a collect/release. It may be that I was never looking for that feel before but it was certainly more accurate. Is that what real compression feels like?

    • From Shawn Clement on Shawn's Favourite Drill - Driver

      Very good! Keep at it and continue being aware of the differences; a few more reps with awareness like that and we may have something there for you! When you go back to throwing the club with the tip of tee in the way of the throw, it could unlock some more! See “the throwing series again” in the longer clubs and the football throw series

      OK I played around with tee tip idea but I found something that seems to help but want to make sure I’m not traveling down a false trail. When I toss into my backswing, it feels like the top/back of my lead hand is riding up a plane or against a wall in order for me to have that feeling of dropping the club and collecting the ball shown in this drill. Otherwise I end up with too much wrist cupping and can’t get that acid test feel on release with my longer clubs. I use that feel in my practice swing away from the ball and go back to the drop/collect feel toward my target line during the swing while practicing this drill. Is this feeling of ‘back of lead hand’ along a plane going to take me down the wrong path?

      If this works well with the “backswing levitation” video and or the “garage door drill” then you are good! 👍😀

    So effortless. One of your best videos. Rather than a standing start so to speak , the whole pre-deployment/ predictive process frees up the swing. I feel the pivotal release. So much fun to feel the control…

    Hey Shawn,
    Nice video work. Thrilled with what I am learning. Thanks! My question is the minor movement forward before you take the club back. What is that and why? To get momentum going? Something else?
