Hi Shawn, in the Youtube video of this you teach to face the club instead of the tee. Could you tell me where my eyes are supposed to be looking at? In some other video related to cutting grass you said to keep your eyes on the tee and see the bottom of the driver clipping the tee on the way up. Should my eyes still be looking at the tee or should it be on the club and have my perioheral vision focused on cutting of the top of the tee?

Great video Shawn. Many times when I am lining up to chip on an uphill lie, I feel as though my club would gauge the ground if I don’t choke down… Do you ever choke down on an uphill lie or is your grip/club relationship the same as on flat ground? Cheers, Brian

Down to 6.8 handicap from 14.2 this year. Next year I would like to halve it again. Putting has been my weakness. I’ve tried many alternatives and even went back to wrist putting for a time this year. Your method of using the arm/club unit as one works, I like it. But I’ve struggled with consistency. Today I had a eureka discovery. I’ve always had my weight on the balls of my feet (unknowingly) when putting. In my full swing, I’m keeping my weight over my heels to allow the squat and stop early extension. I thought I’d try it with the putter and WOW! Whilst I didn’t hole everything, I hit every putt solid and straight-faced. My problem must have been lack of stability – weight through heels also makes hanging the club/arm unit from the shoulder much more relaxed and flowing. Watch our world!

Such a good video. My weakness is an outside – in swing path. I lose so much leverage. So then I started to take the club on the inside on my backswing, thinking that this promoted an inside – out downswing. But in reality, I was making it worse. Now the problem I am having is that I must be very conscious of my backswing “positions” at the mile markers; (i.e. “Don’t take it back inside”) Will that just go away on its own with repetition? If not, what do I replace that thought with. For example, my brain thinks that I can cut grass, regardless of bringing the club inside. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hello Shawn, been watching a long time, since the “Clemshaw” days. Decided to start golfing again after 6 years… “position” swing work ruined me. One question on the effect the skies have, it feels like there is more weight on the insteps of your feet, Ben Hogan talked about this in his setup, and its something I have been tinkering with trying to stay centered. Is that a bad idea as I work forward with your information? It definitely creates a bit more tension in the lower body at setup as a tradeoff.

I would also add that if you use the butt in the trebuchet then its pretty tough to early extend!

Thanks for all your years of hard work to help people!

Hi Shawn – I just watched one if your YouTube videos – how to separate the ball from the ground. Great vid! What video(s) would you recommend for “separate the ball from the tee”? Either YouTube or Premium is fine. Thanks (for everything)!

Sav, I think its a historical video 😅🤘💪👍

Wow, what a difference did this video make. I am imaging a kid on a swing in my set up, to overcome my “tugging” the club inside on my takeaway. Then I match that to the left or the right side of my intermediate target. But what really, really helped was “goldilocksing” [a new verb!]. I feel that I am reprogramming my brain to a different way of completing the task. Can’t wait for the season to start!

Shaun Clement, you freeking genius. x6 balls over the fence at the back of the range today, no wind and cold golf balls. I nailed everything, irons, and woods. My club head speed must have increased by 10% since listening to you. This will make you laugh, but timing-wise, I was mentally swinging a dog lead, waiting for it to hit my back before starting the downswing – it really helped – weird – but that was my mental image. Everything came together today.

Thanks for another great video. The paint brush video was brilliant.

Keep that twin angle camera coming…it’s a big help. Thanks again for the driver setup review videos.

Hi Shawn,
Love your instruction as always because it remains consistent throughout your teaching.
Shawn, you have to talk about Rapsodo. That is the neatest piece of tech I have seen in a long while. Similar tech to that I know cost $5K-$10K. So my question is, what is the cost do you like it and is it worth it?

Thanks Shawn!

Hi Shawn,
Would you say that both elbows should point towards the body?(not the left pointing a little forward)
I bought this great book and when I keep my left elbow pointing more towards my tummy and keep a wide backswing with passive wrists the club is a little closed at waist high and gives a little steeper plane with ball impact improved

hi shawn, although i know i have to throw or butt catapult with my legs and hips I regularly keep on doing this also with my arms, with bad results. Is there a drill or a method to keep the arm club unit passive when i am at the top of the backswing.? thx ,ernst

This is a great video, the snap description around 8.45 is very helpful…. now to buy a paint brush 😉
