The most important aspect of arm-club integrity is turning out of the way; a nice series to pair this with is “super slow-super relaxed-super wide” backswing series

None of the above! 😝
The golf swing is 2 kinetic chains reunited by the transition; like walking! See the “walking drill” and the “kinetic chain facilitation series”

Keep letting momentum release into the direction you want to start the ball! It will get more accurate as you go! 👍👌

Yes! You may have to close more or less with the woods vs the irons; let the ball flight guide you! See the “goldilocks series”

You bet!! Extremely important!!

Great suggestion! Will do that next!

It can work quite well Joe! All you need to do is at the top of the backswing, you give yourself a little momentum (like in baseball) to get the swing flowing into a nice heavy snap in the direction you want to start the ball! 👊👍

Hey Krista! Get practicing on an uphill incline hitting shots up the hill; then ball below the feet. Just like I show in the videos. The trail foot has to stay bolted in these circumstances to pull off the shot nicely. Great way to anchor the swing’s release naturally!

Great feedback, go with what feels easiest to do!!

You bet!! This is such a key move!

lol

Haha!! 😝😝😝

I just noticed that’s also on your hat!

Puma! Progress! Pummel! Premium!! 😀🔥

Hi Adey! Great question, I know the youtube video is called “best lesson I ever got from Moe Norman” shawn clement…
this is a solid video here

UP AND OVER TREES PRACTICE!

Thank you very much!

Good stuff! Here is the routine written down. You need to get a date with Goldilocks! See Goldilocks series, then use that to dial in your set up to get through this routine:

Here is the Pre-shot routine’s non negotiable items
 
1-Best option for shot
2 rules: 1-Release into safe direction; never release towards trouble and draw or fade away from trouble; this puts unnecessary tension in the system with the “you better make sure you do this or that to not go there”
 2-No strain required to execute your shot; understand that you have 2 general yardages per club; one for the flush shot and one for the good miss about 12 yards short of the flush shot.  The good miss happens 82% of the time and the flush shot 18% of the time. This helps determine what club to use based on where the best place to miss will be. 

2-Once the shot option is chosen, confirm the flight plan-what line do you want to start the ball and what line do you want to end? (include roll out) 

3-Choose intermediate point; can be straight on or slightly off line, as long as it’s easy to see and well into your peripheral vision (6 to 12 inches in front of ball only) 

4-Confirm alignment of momentum-get ready to see the blur of the path of the club and match it to the ball and intermediate point and prepare to make the ball a PRECISE INTERSECTION on the way through the IP into the flight plan!   See the low point of this arc blur, which is about an inch in front of the ball with all clubs except the driver.  

5-Confirm ball position matches the flight plan and the direction you want to start the ball.

6-Confirm distance to ball and see that when you let momentum ride through the blur through ball and IP that you don’t feel the need to reach out from being too far or hold on from being too close and you can let it ride

7-Confirm Grip club relation; see that you know it will curve the way you want to in the air once you allow the momentum to release you through the arc-blur into the flight plan through ball and IP 

8-Confirm levels and low point with relaxed and engaged legs; legs are ready to heave the arms and club into the backswing that would match the direction of the flight plan; and feels like you are ready to allow that solid dose of momentum to ride through the arc-blur through the ball, the low point of the swing and IP into that flight plan

9-Ready? 
When over the ball, See the arc-blur already moving through ball and intermediate point through this low point.  You are feeling the arms and club already tracking the arc through the ball and intermediate point into a nice release snap and the body already gliding out of the way of these tracking arms.  What does that feel like again?  Oh yeah, about like this! This is the glue that holds EVERYTHING together is the letting the swing stay with the direction of flight and fully witness momentum taking care of that for you.

let me know how things go after that please!

Shawn, thanks so much for the quick reply. You are such a great golf communicator (hard to find!). I’m going to do all the things you’re suggesting. I’ve kind of jumped both feet first, and I’m just getting started with your videos, but wow, they are making an impact on me already.

This morning I was practicing my chipping, and all I was thinking about was an intermediate point, and giving my brain the task of clipping the grass in front of the ball. The crispness of my strike, distance control, and accuracy radically improved, instantaneously. And I haven’t even got to your chipping videos, yet! Really amazing stuff. Thanks again!

Right on Aaron!
