No worries about delofting the club at all Raymond; when you swing through the ball, the hands always lead which means the club IS DESIGNED TO BE DELOFTED!

Please see an oldie but goodie video on my regular channel called “delofting through proper tilt shawn clement”

I don’t believe it really matters how you trigger the start of your swing. It is what really works for you. The way I see it , what Shawn gives are really the basic information. Each person will have to adjust the basic ideas to fit themselves. Not everyone is exactly the same. However, all adjustments should evolve around the basic moves Shawn had taught.

Hey Drew! Contact and direction is a centering inconsistency; the very latest videos coming out for the “consistency series” are exactly all about this! Go take a look! Shawn

My comment was regarding the placement of the ball for the putting rhythm skill set. I want to know where you put the ball set up just after front he’ll sit in the middle of the stance is it just Florida the middle ?

The arm-putter unit hangs from the shoulders and with the weight even on the feet, it should hang to the point where the centre of the putter head is in the centre of the stance. Then place the ball ahead of that.

Hi Charles!
Sometimes, it happens, I will loose my train of thought and miss something; the best drill is to place the club against a doorframe and apply pressure with the index of the right hand; works very well! Shawn

Goldie locks is the bomb!

Awesome Steve; thank you for your valuable feedback and let’s show the world of golf what they have been missing!

Good question! It all starts with where do you want to start and where do you want to end the shot; then use goldie locks to find your set up through the prediction process; and yes, good idea for a video and I will note it down right now for our next shoot!

Shawn

Lol! It is not about the positions man! What task are you associating this to? Throwing the club? Compressing into door frameor cutting stems?

Thanks, Shawn. Cutting the dandelion stem, throwing the club, compressing into the doorframe, skipping stone and hockey shot all work for me. Then I see a video about the elbow, and thinking I’m missing something, I try to bring the elbow past the ball! Thanks for the feedback.

Just an extra measure of delivering through the shot; you are talking about the football drill correct?
This is mostly set up confirmation and then stay with one of the tasks you mentioned in your comment! Shawn

Yes, the football drill. Thanks for the feedback: it’s been great for my awareness game.

There is no such thing as a straight shot! Really Really! 😀

Hi Shawn,

You are the only one teacher I introduce to my son and my friends. One question needs your hep to clarify:

What’s the line for the takeway? Will it follow the target line(straight) or shoulder line which will be slightly opened after braced tilt? If shoulder line, that means the backswing will be slightly inside, right?

Hi Chien Chien!
Backswing should always match the direction of the shot! Please see “stay with your shot shawn clement” on the regular channel and then see “working the ball” on premium! Always choose a ball flight; fade or draw; then match the backswing to it!

Shawn,
Would you suggest something about the width of the stance on full shots and driver.

See the “width of stance and finish position” on youtube and premium!😀👍

Hi Nicholas!
I will be there January 22 in Ft-Myers-then Jan 24 in Melbourne-then back in Ft-Myers on Jan 28th

Hi Bill! LOL; did you notice I was playing and putting LEFT HANDED?
My left handed putting stroke is like Jordan Speith’s, cross handed, as I feel that my dominant hand works better with my non-dominent hand this way;
Same fundamentals though; arm-putter unit in balance under my shoulder sockets and riding their own arc;
Shawn

Thank you, Mr. Chairman for the prompt response.
At the risk of sounding like I think I INVENTED it, I’ve been putting cross-handed since the mid-EIGHTIES?

I’m beginning to get the hang of this Eagle-Premium stuff?

dude abides

Lol! Keep rockin’ Dude!👍😀

I will be at the Alico Family Golf Centre on Monday January 22 and Sunday morning January 28
One spot left in the morning and 2 in the afternoon for the 22nd and 2 spots remain for the 28th in the morning; email me at [email protected] to confirm and I will get you final details;
Shawn

Right on David! Ball position is HUGE
Make sure you see the “predictions” video and keep that ball position “predicted” as part of the release to target together with distance to ball, grip and club face angle and level of posture for how much turf you need to shave for the shot at hand!

I also notice if I dont turn my head right (i’m right handed) far enough – almost chin to right shoulder – with longer clubs i tend to get really hooky too. I think that’s because it allows for a full shoulder turn, and for longer clubs you need more turn/time to get everything flowing in desired directions, right?

That makes sense if you feel the need to help it and strain too much when you don’t do and don’t finish the backswing; do a goldie locks on it to feel what would be too much (you would be too far back and out of balance on the right foot) or too little which would not allow you to finish the backswing;
Just right allows you to finish the backswing in balance and feel that you can get through the ball with ease!
Shawn

Ah ha! After rewatching the Complete the Backswing video I think I have a clue why the head turn is important (at least in my home made swing lol) – the head turn tricks me into turning and gathering. As you pointed out in the video if you don’t gather you don’t have any ability to whip the club through impact. For me with a pretty strong grip and open hips I get hooky when this lack of gather happens. Thanks for jogging my brain on “why” this works 🙂
