      Couple of important things:
      1-is the grip club strong enough
      2-is the release happening to full potential
      3-is the centre of the swing staying in place

      acid test 1-
      see “draw fine tuning” and see how much closed you need to be in the grip-clubface to get the ball to curve to the left
      acid test 2-
      when you hit shots feet together, is the result the same?
      Important feel to acquire:
      see “lead hand release” “trail hand release” “release fine tuning” release polish”
      Let me know how you progress!

      Progress update !..

      Just left the range and after watching your recommendation videos …

      This was spot on shawn! I was not releasing and was not staying centered.

      I was trying diagonal driver also and there is definitely some magic there!
      Was hitting some flush bombs! 💣

      I will keep you updated as I go further down the rabbit hole 🐇

      Thanks again Shawn for all that you do.

    Man Shawn I can’t wait to get the range and just work on this. This is the video that answered my question of how how to come to find my goldie locks grip to square my face at impact. This has been the most fun summer at the range ever!

    Hi Shawn,

    Do you see any set up problems with a grip that uses a reverse overlap (i.e., I’m a right handed golfer and it feels more comfortable to have my left hand index finger on top, in the groove between my right hand pinky and ring fingers)?

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Shaun, I don’t understand your comments on the pre-turn. Are you advocating doing a pre-turn and braced tilt for a draw. In the beginning of the video you also state we should be moving away from a pre-turn, but at the end you seem to say that it is done in conjunction with a braced tilt for a draw. can you clarify this?

      See the “hammer drill” video and the “kinetic chain series” which will explain this further for you; the purpose is to have full access to your target with your action!

    Hi Shawn. Great stuff and very interesting material.
    But I can’t download the sound, the music. Isn’t there another link available for it?
    Sorry for that..
    Best regards,

      Working on including it in the website again; things were lost in the server when we had to upgrade and working on getting it all out of my old computer! 😝😝

    Great video, very good demos. I do get a little confused on having a strong grip and body lean angle. They must go together, correct? My local golf pro never corrects my grip so I am assuming it must be okay. However, since I’m such a new golfer I’m not sure if I’m getting t he most out of it. It’s crazy that folks criticize Savi’s grip, I do everything I can to emulate her swing except hit lefty. Thanks again for another great video.

    will try it asap, I feel my left forearm is very sore.

    • From Shawn Clement on Lead Hand Release

      Yes, this means you are fighting the club and trying to place it! Play some table tennis and hit some top spin back hands; the move is the same with the left arm and hand.

    I think this is another timely video…access to that front foot is key to what I’m working on. At 12:30 mark you made an adjustment in the knee and shoulder as part of getting behind the ball. Why did you do that? Was it to get the weight on the inside front foot? You also asked if it was forcing him to the left. Was that part of being in a draw setup? Keep up the good work and it is really helpful seeing you work through adjustments with your co-stars!

    Any changes with driver or fairway woods ?

    • From Shawn Clement on ONE LEG DRILL UPDATE-PURE POWER!

      Hi John!
      As you could see, the ball position changed more forward with woods and driver; distance to ball too. Proportionate to what you are used to seeing with us.

    Thanks Shawn… The Drone Footage was AWESOME…in particular captures what it looks like to stay centered which I have been working on this week so very timely video. BEST PART WAS… WATCHING THE BILL OF YOUR GOLF CAP in particular in slow motion and how long that Cap 🧢 stays behind the ball after the club face passes through the ball and stays there until the shoulder pulls it into the finish. Drone footage is extremely helpful and YES… YOU ARE… TEACHING WISDOM. THANKS

    Shawn another outstanding video lesson! I discovered my weight shift was causing me to shift off the ball. I did the one leg drill on range and the feel helped me sort that out. Wow what a difference in contact. This with throwing the club might be the best two drills for us typical weekend warriors! Thanks!

    Hi Shawn… I use the feet together drill often while warming up. I have also used the one-legged drill when I start to have trouble with swaying into the ball. Recently I heard Say suggest a narrower stance might be of help. I have gone to a 12″ to 14″ width stance on most of the irons. For some odd reason, I feel more stable and centered with this stance. Is there a long term problem with using a narrow stance or putting the feet closer together in a match where we might be struggling with location?

  • From [email protected] on Driver Fitting

    Hi Shawn, I play with G400 Max 10.5, recently switched from the stock shaft to Tensi Orange. The fitter said I hit very hard, so I should change the shaft. The regular stock shaft was very very soft. He replaced it with the Tensi Orange Stiff 60g. Ball flight actually gotten better from a lot of sliced shot. I guess I was able to hit it with more square face vs open. Now it is more like bigger fade. The issue is it would launches high, and dead stop after it lands on the ground. After watching your videos on driver. I start to aim more clipping the tee, target out front, at address I hover the club, leave it in the center of stance, close the club face. I began to see ball goes to the left, some with little draw. However, the ball flight still seems to be higher than ideal. I read something about this is a high launching head. I feel because the launch is so high, it lost distance. Should decrease the loft from 10.5 to 9.5? Currently, I am carrying like 200-210 (don’t have launch monitor, based on distance marker. Thanks Hung

      Yes, definitely lower the loft; especially since you hit high and you are now able to draw!

    terrific instruction and drills. Question before you start down are you squatting down to be able to push of the ground as you do on the 2 legged swing?
