Shawn:
Last drive of the rd today I threw into a natural patented Shawn Clement twirl follow thru does that indicate I am making progress? It was my best drive of the rd

Two questions: 1) I am down to heave and throw to the target for me and I like stamping the back foot to initiate the heave and the front foot to initiate the throw. Question 1) Is that OK? Question 2) When I set an intermediate point from behind the ball and then set up, it looks so off that I lose confidence in my direction. It also happens when I putt. And as a consequence I have a bad shot. I have learned over the years to just line up at the target which works great for me. It may be because I am very much left eye dominate so much so that the intermediate point just looks so off that it does not match my mental picture. Your thoughts?

After finding myself losing balance during my swings, I decided to try diagonal stance once again – wow, it really frees up the backswing and make me brace to target better as I can make it feel like the One leg drill. Hitting it one club further as a result! 🙂 Done it for more than a week now. Thanks for the insight!

How does the task change when the “sand” is really just wet or hard packed, eg almost dirt or mud hardpan? (I play some cheap courses…lol)?

Hi Shawn!!! Great video! But could you PLEASE do detailed video on baton twirl? I think baton twirl motion is realy important in golf swing and it is totally different from just moving arms back and forth. thank you! Vaclav

This video greatly helped me feel the release as it should be. Really is liberating. Used in my round today and got some good low effort smashes.

Shawn, I’m swearing with my inside voice, should have watched this video before. I know the content is there in other videos but sometimes it takes some different packaging to resonate. One day a couple of one on one lessons would be great. Too bad we are passing through Quebec City tonight.

Hey Shawn, I know it’s a big no-no, but often times it happens, going to first tee with no balls hit first. Any tips on warm up and prep when you don’t have time or course doesn’t have a range for ‘normal’ warmup hitting balls?
Thx,

What loft club were you and the team using Shawn? Thanks.

Hey Shawn,
I’ve been training my walking drill last saturday. Results are encouraging! All of my drive where on the fairway. contacts are much better and some of my shots where really great :). I can really see the swing arc with this drill and it’s changing completely the way I swing. Things difficult I have also observed during the game : I top the ball to much with my irons, my drive are not very powerfull (220 yards= 200m total). When i drive, the ball tend to go a bit high wich may cause loss of distance, I think my ball takes backspin that doesn’t help to get more distance.
In addition I felt that i was hitting my balls using more the first pendulum and a second pendulum that was incomplete.
Question: As the swing is in both way with this walking drill that is a perpetual motion, do you have in your mind to take two targets and two trajectories in both way and to switch your visualization durung the motion?

Thanks sebastien

Awesome video. Mu’s steep chip swing and your coaching (task orientation) helped me learn a lot!!! Thanks.

Hi Shawn, is there a similar video for further out from the hole in the rough? For instance, tee shot goes into long rough, so the second shot

Hi Shawn!

Even though I have seen you, Sav, and Mu swing the kettlebell before, this video really sparked an “aha” moment about how the body moves in the golf swing! I am trying to get this kettlebell swing feeling when I swing a golf club. What I have noticed on video is that I tend to restrict my turn on my actual swing vs. my practice swing. Even with the grass whip my turn changed when I went from the perpetual motion drill to cutting the bottom of a tee. I may be rushing and not letting the backswing finish. When I consciously try to complete the backswing (with mixed results), I feel like my focus is then taken away from the target (in the opposite direction) and task and my swing suffers. How can I gain consistency and length with my turn?

Thanks,

Tim

P.S. Is it healthy that your Wisdom In Golf music has been stuck in my head all week??

Hi Shawn, I’m thinking of getting the skytrak simulator, what do you think about that unit? I will also need to find a good high impact screen net, do you have any advises?

What is the best task for club release…I have a great release but way too early…my chest stops rotating and my hands and forearms complete the swing. I am the best hooker and can draw the ball but have never hit a fade ! What is my task? HDCP 12
When I throw the club out in front of me it is ALWAYS 15 yards to the left! Help !!
