      Ok, good feedback! See “feet together back to feet apart” and try the swing caddy again!
      California event was cancelled 3 weeks prior to the date; we are still scratching our heads; I was fully booked so I went down to do my clinics like the old days before Covid; had a blast with both my students and the great folks at Cobra!

      Hey Mark! Good question! I have not seen Mu’s from his bag in a long while so I forget! 😝
      But I would say that it would be a great idea to match up to the grip size and material you are using on your set for sure!

    Hi Shawn,
    Been topping my 5 wood , have tried taking the ball position back, and then tendency to hit into the ground or not finish my swing. Been doing it for a week my fairway woods. My driver is going long and straight. Any videos I can watch regarding topping of Fairway woods.

    Great video.
    What did you do to correct your shot that you hit First which started left and stayed left. The first shot you hit is my typical miss when I hit a fade.

      it is just once; it will not repeat so there is nothing to fix! If that happened 3 times in a row, then I would simply open the face a bit more and continue to let momentum flow left of the IP; see “fade fine tuning”

      Allow things to evolve! 😀👍
      as the swing gets higher, the arms start to track better, then the legs will start responding to turbo charge the legs and another chapter will begin!

    Now that I fully grasp what out of the way REALLY feels like I think it’s the single best piece of golf instruction in the history of the game. It puts everything you need to do on autopilot. Tempo, balance, rhythm, full turn, full finish, natural hinge. It’s got it all!

    Shawn is it suitable to just play w the task of get out of the way + chest to target? While I’m grooving this in I find if i try cut grass / dandelion stems I start to default to cheating it with the arms a little.

      When you just go with the feel of out of the way, and you have great contact, don’t worry about the task.

      This is good to know since I had a similar question to Matthew’s. I have a disconnect in combining getting out of the way with a task since i would never think or focus on getting out of the way if i were to throw a club, cut grass or slash a sword.

    • From Shawn Clement on WISDOM 2.0 INTRO TO SELF PRESERVING KINETIC CHAIN

      Some players have developed their games around themes of “when I do this, I get great contact” and the contact issue is very much subconscious; this is Matthew’s case. For a lot of us, having a simple task delivered with momentum and freedom is what puts the mind at ease and stops it from getting into the “make sure” and “be careful” mode which impedes the ability to deliver with ease.

    This was tough drill to do 😅 First my divots were everywhere. When i was able use more momentun and getting out off the way, they started to line up 👍😯🙂

    Hi Shawn,
    as I have experienced different distances of the IP infront of the ball does have different results.
    For the driver I can keep it up to 2 feet in front, for the irons I am very confused.
    One thing is clear without the IP the swing can get you in to all kinds of trouble.

    Is there a hard and fast rule how far the IP should be ahead of the ball for different clubs?

    • From Shawn Clement on Consistency Series

      Well, there are no hard and fast rules about how people think and organize their thoughts; this is why I love the variety in my work! 😀👍
      what I am showing is a very apparent pattern of how the eyes relay information to the brain. When you look at Anika Sorrenstam and David Duval, they both found a different way to find the target; time to find yours! 😀👍

    Playing a Golf league here these days.
    To put it simply, you ARE the best teacher out there!!! Your methods can get a person on course within a week!

    I have never been so consistent off the tee, Yes I do have issues, where I top my 3 wood occasionally. Irons I need to be more consistent. Somehow I am unable to levitate and my draws become pushes or low draws.

    A very important shot 142y to flag I decided to hit a 9 Fade, and I shanked it, unluckily went OB and it was my stroke hole. I just cant figure out what went wrong. I hit my 9i 150Y.

    Tomorrow hoping to make a video of iron shots and will try and do a video session with you next week. Really looking forward to that.

    Hi Shawn,
    what I have learnt is for irons eyes between the ball and the leading edge,
    for driver on tip of tee or at least and idea where the tip of the tee is.
    For 3 wood or hybrid or irons off the tee , would the eyes be on the grass or tip of tee?

    Go to comment
    • From Shawn Clement on Consistency Series

      You could do either one! 😀👍See which works best! Send the tee into the direction of flight or the grass clippings; see what your mind prefers.

  • From amarjot Bedi on WISDOM 2.0 ESSENTIAL TARGETING SKILL

    One of the best videos Shawn.
    Hugely clarified a few things for me.
    Sending grass clippings towards left or right of IP was my magic moment, along with two swing drill. Finally found something that I could trust and predict. Which was huge! Will try and repeat to see if it was not just a fluke.
    Also always kept my eyes on the ball, will try keeping it between the ball and leading edge.
    Had not been able to hit consistently ball after ball, finally did that today. Felt great joy today.

  • From amarjot Bedi on 2 SWING DRILL- KETTLE BELL AND DIVOT PEEL LAUNCHER

    How does the two swing shot work?
    I was all over the place and when I did this all of a sudden I was accurate and very consistent with a beautiful ball flight? Then I tried the sending grass clippings with the sole of the club. I could turn pro right there and then. 9i – 150 yards soaring high and accurate. (I have mentioned this in another video am so excited).

    In in the end you said keeping eyes on outside the ball or front, thought it was between the ball and the leading edge? Should I try the 3 eye positions and see what suits me?

    • From Shawn Clement on 2 SWING DRILL- KETTLE BELL AND DIVOT PEEL LAUNCHER

      The 2 swings forces you to stay beautifully centred; the brain understands that there are 2 swings to make and has to stay centred and braced inside the feet to contain the swing’s centre; this is why it is such a great drill! And yes, the eyes could also be slightly inside the ball too; they are all good because it is just a place to park the eyes while your focus is on the momentum delivering through into the direction you want to start the ball.

  • From Matthew Costello on WISDOM 2.0 WRIST HINGE AND ARM ROTATION

    Was playing around with this feel today practicing (can you tell my competitive season is over? lol) and I noticed something. There’s basically one spot that it releases in both directions. After “getting out of the way” back, I noticed if let the lead hand release sooner (for me, I tend to hang onto it and release late at times), almost from the top of the backswing, I was puring the ball about 10-15 yards farther.

    So get out of the way back, and then slash that bamboo shoot from the top. I filmed it and by feeling that I could still see the kinetic chain engage, and my arms were much more synced to my pivot. Valid feel for someone who tends to hang on and hit it with the face slightly open?

    I also noticed that by doing this, the weight of the club balanced me in my swing. Good by slight early extension, hello a faster rotation with less effort.

    Flukey one off? Or is that feeling of getting the back of the hand back to the ball and then back behind me sooner a good one for my miss?

    Sensei! Just had a session from 15 yrs ago pop up – when we first discussed weight shift v pressure – what took the world so long to catch up!!! Do you think we could do this series (best of) wth tracer and use Sav, Mu and you to demonstrate!!
    I reckon we could destroy another 500 myths that have evolved from single frame “hacks”
    Love this game –
