  • From Jeremy Moody on REMOVING OBSTACLES TO YOUR SWING - PART 5 | BALL CONTACT BEFORE GRASS

    The essence of Golf and WIG. I feel the process ( hands lead, elbow in, weight to ground etc) all come about naturally when the brain’s target is appropriate.
    I recently watched videos of Moe Norman and he sure is only producing grass clippings effortlessly. No positional elements other than alignment.
    What staggers me is that such a little object can command so much brain focus even though I’m saying DONT DO IT!
    Indoors I’m using a fuzzy impact board to see the ball- fuzz path and contact confirmation. The fat shots drive me crazy. What was I thinking of?
    Then I hear your voice ‘don’t try to control the club. Momentum and release will take care of things’.
    Before the action I definitely need to pull away and take 2 practice swings. 1 to confirm my alignment and swing path and the second to confirm the momentum and release out there.

      Hi Declan! “Feet together back to feet apart”, “pumping up the volume”, “Kinetic chain facilitation series”, “arc blur unstoppable momentum series”, “momentum already there before you swing” series.

    Hi Shawn thanks for the video. Been getting in the way of the swing last few weeks!

    Today when practicing throwing clubs, I finally just let go and felt the weight of acu…it felt odd bc I just let my arms feel like they were coming out of the sockets in a way… but i simply waited for the heft to build in the back swing..crazy as I was able to easily use this and hit the purest shots I’ve hit in weeks. Felt totally different powerful and not forced….bonkers and thanks!

    So from what I gather on all of this. Take the club and have it closed in front of you. Neutral Grip on a closed club face at address and then get into position behind the ball so I can feel like i am able to deliver the hammer or the arm club unit to the target. And as I swing to the target that clubface is going to square naturally? Have I got it?

  • From Phuong D on PERPETUAL MOTION DRIVER PART 2- ANCHOR THAT STRETCHED RELEASE!

    Hey Shawn,

    I have two questions if that’s okay. The first question is that I have noticed that when I’m doing perpetual motion, I’m not getting a consistent low point because I feel like I’m standing up and not holding my dynamic sandbag tossing posture. I’m completely aware of this but when I try to go back into posture during the PPM it feels like I’m putting in a lot of effort when it should be effortless and the whole machine completely breaks down. Any suggestions or thoughts on how I can fix this?

    The other question sort of relates to this video as well. I have noticed that I also tilt too much when I’m setting up and when I’m in the process of swinging and it typically results in digging at the ground before the ball or a slice or I skull it. This is especially prevalent if I’m going from driver to irons as I could predict, since you need more tilt for drivers. After a few shots I can kind of figure it out and decrease the tilt but do you have any recommendations for how to sort of feel for the proper tilt earlier?

    Thanks!

    What is ball position with w
    fairway metals and hybrids?

    • From Shawn Clement on Ball Position & Distance to Ball

      Hey Bob! More forward; club head in the centre and ball forward of that; apply the “hammer drill” to them and feel where the ball needs to be to get the club to squeeze the thing straight through the doorframe.

  • From Arthur Carvajal on REMOVING OBSTACLES TO ON COURSE PERFORMANCE!

    Hi Shawn, I have been a premium for a few years. And as other people have told you, their game has gotten better with all your tips. But I have to tell you the Momentum, and Removing Obstacles have been some of your best. In the last few months, my game was piss poor. Shooting in the mid to high 80’s.And in many of my rounds, my score was better than I felt I did. But incorporating the tips in these last two series has gotten me back to my normal scores. The low 80’s, but with a few 77-79’s thrown in. So once again, Thanks so much for all your help with my game!!!

  • From Arthur Carvajal on REMOVING OBSTACLES TO ON COURSE PERFORMANCE!

    Also, I think the ideas from the last two series might be able to help me shoot more 70 scores. I have no allusions to being constantly in the ’70s. I am 75 after all.

  • From Jake Pisano on Student Lesson with Kevin

    The “orangutan arms” have really been helping my ball striking. Would you apply this to driver?

    • From Shawn Clement on Student Lesson with Kevin

      You bet! Like the “hammer throw in track and field” see “the throwing series” and the last one is with the driver; you will love it!

  • From Frank Zoff on IMPORTANT GRIP UPDATE

    Hey Shawn, love this video as it’s helped me get longer more penetrating ball flight but my at the same time i am tending to have a more slightly pulled shots because of this strong grip. If I back off the strong grip the shots go straighter but are higher and weaker again. Any advice to keep the strong drip but not have it pull as much?

    • From Shawn Clement on IMPORTANT GRIP UPDATE

      YES-VERY IMPORTANT HERE: see “alignment reload” then “blur of club” then “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” then “tilt mile markers” and “contact mile markers”
      let me know how you do! BUT KEEP THAT STRONG GRIP!!

  • From Justin Harris on Grip & Arm Motion

    I struggle with my mid/long irons hitting behind the ball or just don’t have the distance, I can hit hybrids just fine but struggle with hitting at the ball and over swinging with the 5 and 6 iron

    • From Shawn Clement on Grip & Arm Motion

      Hey Justin! Have you done any club throwing yet? See “throwing the club” and the “throwing series” long irons

  • From Timothy Radloff on REMOVING OBSTACLES TO YOUR SWING - PART 4 | STRAIN-ROPE DRILL

    Hi Shawn. From many years back, I have one of those 5-irons that has a super bendy shaft (like a fishing pole). Watching the rope drill in this video prompted this question in my mind — do you view that particular training aid as a useful tool or not in capturing some of the feelings you are teaching?
