    Great stuff Shawn I can do the perpetual motion drill but then I freeze over the ball and then lift up in the backswing any more thoughts videos or swing triggers I feel like this is the missing piece for me thanks

      Hi Shawn,

      I am a fan of how you teach to learn feelings in a golf shot and looking into the bigger picture to allow the human body to design the shot, this for sure is the best way to learn golf. This has significantly improved my game.
      However, i do want to request that during your ball position video in which you are teaching about draw and fades if you can highlight with dark prominent colors or logos on your wall about targets, that would be beneficial because currently i cant see where the keep out sign or wet paint or trees are in your target wall.

      Looking forward to finish following your entire video training lessons.

      Thanks
      Adeel

      Hi Adeel! Yes, we address that in future videos; you can always identify my intermediate point just in front of my ball when seeing the swing from down the line; super important!
      Keep going! You are going to enjoy the journey down the Rabbit hole and appreciate movies like “a week in Utopia”. Which is a nice Golf Movie with Robert Duval.

    Great video and just what I’ve been working on this week! I feel like when the feet together backswing causes my legs to straighten, I often have trouble getting back down to the same leg bend on the downswing causing me to either be too high or too low. Any advice? Thanks.

      When you come back down, it is because you stayed on task and needed the ground to deliver the shot to the target. See “throwing the club” video on premium.
      When you are focused on throwing to the target, you will come back down to the ground to engage the kinetic chain, so see the 7 part series on kinetic chain too, it is fun!
      When you stay up, it is because you need to stay up to hit AT THE BALL, or if you are being careful NOT TO MISS THE BALL.
      TO SEE THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT TO A SHOT, see the hammer throw in track and field, talk about staying with something because your life and others, depends on it! My favourite is Yipsi Moreno

    Shawn, do I need to brace the tilt when doing the perpetual motion drill practice?

      Great question!
      Not during the whole movement; you don’t want to feel like you are resisting the backswing’s kinetic chain.
      As you get to the top of the backswing, they feel the pressure hit the left ankle, use this pressure to brace the head from moving forward and let the swing glide around that axis through to the high finish.

    Thanks Shawn, this one continues to be my homework for the month. Very tough to stay away from that 40 bits per second thinking; gurus and mystics have been trying to for millenia!

    Swing to left edge of intermediate point to hit driver fade? I feel like I will either hit a draw or a huge draw. I can’t visually paint the picture to swing at to hit a fade.

      See a cool video called “lesson with John Shawn Clement” on youtube; a great visual for fades with the real grass whip;

    To hit the fade move the ball forward more in my stance and open the club face a little more then swing to left edge of intermediate point?

    Excellent series of videos. Will need to revisit them regularly.

    Talk about timing! I just came in from hitting great on one leg to hitting like crap with normal stance. Divine intervention perhaps?

    Hi Shawn, you mentioned ball essentially center of stance w/ irons.

    Is that all irons 3-pw. There are different opinions on keeping the ball forward in your stance w/ longer irons and center of stance w/ shorter irons. Would love to know your take on this.

    Thank You,

    Nate

    Hi Shawn,

    I’m a new member and I love your content and teaching style. Question – what causes my knuckles on my lead (left) hand to hurt for days after playing golf. My right hand is fine.

    Note – I’ve had this problem before switching over to your grip recommendations but is still sore even now.

    Take care!

    100% awesome stuff. So simple but so hard to reprogram the brain-especially after programming the swing to use positions. Time to restart the range sessions.

      It is when you see the task clearly and have the feel associated with the task that matches; then it is possible to achieve first shot!

    It starting to sink into this sore stiff senior Duffer’s body. It going to take complete trust in the process along with the ability to do the fundamentals correctly for each shot. You know grip, posture and staying in the shot stuff. :>

    Thank You!

    The 2 comments above just about sum it up. Reprogram the mind to have a new concept of a gravity fed swing going through a dandelion stem to a target out there. However the effortless balance and consistent reproducible flight path without positional thoughts is a joy. Takes a bit of work and real focus on the task.

    You are flushing those brother! I’ve messed with the “strike it with your trail side” tip by feeling “inside and under” your lead arm through the cut. However, this to me seems like another way of explaining it in a more strain-free manner. I’ve gained another 1/2 to 1 club distance with the above tip…much more pop!

    Can’t wait to try this thought out! Thanks Shawn.
