    As usual, a great video Shawn. I don’t know if it’s on my end or not. But I cannot make this video go full screen on my computer. All the other videos of yours I can. If it is my computer, not the end of the world. But if it is something you can fix on your end. I would be very grateful.

    I have a tendency to over swing with the Driver and this drill really helped me today.

    When I did some continuous swings in between the drills the club felt weightless, paused and the then fell all by itself..

    The feel was incredible..

    Question, do you feel like the butt of the club points towards your intermediate point on the way down?

    I’ve always tried to sense the club face, but, now it feels like I’m pulling the handle more.

    Hi Shawn,
    I just thought of something that I may have missed. When I line up my body, as a lefty, to the left edge to hit a draw , where is the club face supposed to be aimed? Is it facing left edge too or straight down the ball line?

      Hey Shawn,
      I did not understand your answer.
      My main question is “where should the club face be pointing in the initial setup, regardless of the grip”?
      In our lesson, I was pointing the face straight ahead with super strong grip. After watching the video, I think I should have had the driver facing to the left of intermediate target with a strong grip. Then, back off if it was drawing/hooking too much. Correct?

      I can have a weak, strong or neutral grip with face pointing down the ball line or to the left of target.

      Feeling foolish. I am not sure why I thought I should aim the clubface straight down the line to where I want the ball to end up and then try to swing to the left along the intermediate point. Trying to hard, I guess.

      Hi James! Sorry for the tardy reply! See “draw fine tuning” and “the goldilocks series” in the grip and club face video. Everyone is different!

      Hi James!
      this is why we call it a grip-clubface relationship. See the “goldilocks series” on this topic as well as the draw fine tuning video”. What you see at address is not what will be at impact at all. It is merely a millisecond in time. When you allow momentum to flick the tee into a nice summersault into the direction you want to start the ball and stay that way into a full release, what is the ball flight? Then fine tune the grip and club relationship until you see the flight patterns you like. EVERYONE is different.

  • From Norm MacFarlane on How To Go From a Weak Grip to a Strong Grip

    Hey Shawn – I have found the transition to strong grip easy and helpful to my game thanks to these videos. My question/comment: Things really came together when I made my task throwing the club. I found that task made my release more consistent and effective. I have never heard you directly reference throwing the club concept helping with release in your videos so wanted to get your thoughts on this idea.

      Hey Norm! Oh, it’s in there! I reference the throw as the base to getting all the way through the ball and when you throw the club AND DON’T LET GO, the club head snaps the trail hand over the lead hand and forces the lead arm to fold under the trail arm in a yielding action. This release is key for the brain to latch onto so that it can evolve and organize the ground forces to turbo charge this snap release action. So cool that you were able to figure that out on your own! A testament to the brilliance of the human anatomy when you let it work it’s magic! You sir are on the right track big time and please continue! 🔥💪👍

  • From Frank Zoff on HIGH SHOTS PREMIUM DANDELION CUTS

    Hey Shawn, I noticed my lead wrist at impact point upwards instead of flat which is causing all my shost to have no forward roll at all. I can fix this by turn my hands over at impact but it feels very manipulated. Any ideas what’s cause this?

    • From Shawn Clement on HIGH SHOTS PREMIUM DANDELION CUTS

      Hey Frank! Great to see you! Releasing AT THE BALL and letting the club catch up to the hands early will do that. See “two pendulum swing series” and “jackknife drill series” and you need a proper strong grip to deliver deeper through the ball so see “how to go from weak grip to strong grip” video and the “important release update” video

  • From Lyle Goodman on How To Go From a Weak Grip to a Strong Grip

    I’ve changed my chipping to use a slightly open club face as per your chipping video. With a forward shaft lean would this not negate the bounce and create more chance of gouging? Maybe open the club more? Does Miss Wedge chip with an open club face?

  • From Paul Finnegan on How To Go From a Weak Grip to a Strong Grip

    Hey Shawn, can you talk about spin more for the wedges? Like how we get max spin on ball from 30-100 yards or hit the one hop and stop wedges like the pros.
    All the conventional positional teachers have their own rotational based ways of maximizing, but how does your swing methods compare ? Can you launch 56 degree wedge at optimal spin loft in or around 30 degrees launch angle for a full shot?

    • From Shawn Clement on How To Go From a Weak Grip to a Strong Grip

      Hey Paul! Ahh yes, the theorists!
      Speed creates spin, and if you look at the 20-40-60 yard shot video, you will see how the arm anatomy is our guide to that. The 60 yard swing gives you speed, then you can use the 60 degree wedges or the 56 if you need more bounce to execute the shot with a more open face. The open face takes away distance but keeps a nice amount of spin.

  • From Frank Zoff on Clubhead Speed

    hey Shawn been working on superspeed for 6 weeks and my swing speed went from 94 to 98 but not hitting the ball further as it seems my smash factor has dropped to 1.3. I think the super speed has me whipping hands quickly at the ball. Any tips for getting that smash factor back up. Also any good tasks or drills for staying behind the hit on the driver. With the forward ball position is very tempting to rush forward and sending the tee spinning isn’t helping as the tee is also very forward and wind up trying to hit that also. Thanks!

      Hi Frank!
      2 things:
      “Blur of Club and ARC BLUR UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM SERIES” to make the ball the precise intersection on the way to the target. In the driver one, you will see the importance of KNOWING where the low point is so you catch the tip of tee at the right place. Pay attention to the logo on the top of the driver head as it it closer to the heel of the club!

      grip! The grip is the compression chamber for ball speed production! Polish the heck out of it with Grip, grip part 2 and important grip update videos.

    I finally made the jump to a strong grip, feels close to Savs but I’m sure it’s a little weaker and committed to playing a full round with it last week, the conditions were tough, 20-30 mph winds with really strong gusts on a links course here in the PNW upper 40° Fahrenheit.

    I was noticeably longer, 30 yards about with my driver, even pointed out with my playing partner who we are normally fairly even when it comes to distance. And I didn’t exactly hit it short with a weaker grip.

    I shot my best round in years post back injury after getting back into the game, I feel like besides the distance I had less “short circuits” and was able to stay on my task of throwing the club the whole round, basically every shot. Needless to say the strong grip is here to stay, can’t wait to get back out with it.

    If only all golfers could experience WIG.

    Hiya!
    Would you say that momentum is the feeling of the club face catching up and releasing? Still making tiny steps forward 🙂
    THANK You Shawn – Capless Wonder!

  • From James Hild on Kinetic Chain - Part 2

    Hi Shawn,
    I’ve notice that my arms are collapsing in the backswing and you mentioned a video called Loaded arms. Is that still available or is does it have a different name now? It did not pop up when doing a search.

    Wasn’t getting my left knee behind the ball; wasn’t deliberate enough in my takeaway and wasn’t getting sufficient levitation in my back swing. Details matter. Hitting much better shots now. Watching videos help enormously

    Shawn, at what distance does short game begin and long game end for you? Is it 60 yards or closer to 100?
    Would you do a video on judging distances from 80-120 yard shots showing spin numbers?

      Hey Paul! See this video: https://wisdomingolfpremium.com/20-40-60-yard-shots-to-full-swing-mastery/
      Use the blue print to match to the wedges you need to deliver the distances you want. Chip swing bleeds into pitch and that bleeds into full swing! 😀👍
