Shawn- one of your old videos talked about the left vs right hand action through the swing…it’s more of a pulling through with the left than a push with the right. I noticed that it’s rarely discussed in your videos, but I was hoping you could address it in New ones. I still struggle with a dominant right hand and push the club. My best rounds (low 70’s) is when pull through more with left hand. Hoping you can come up with more drills or thoughts on this in your videos. Thanks again
It is actually none of the above Bryan! It is the ball on a string! See the “hammer for more power shawn clement” video and then see “throw the club straight shawn clement” or the “club speed” video on premium!
You will feel that there is no pushing or pulling; just a kinetic chain!!!

Hi Shawn,
You should be on Golf Channel..your instruction makes a lot more sense than some of the others on that channel. In fact, I do not even watch them anymore. I have been playing more than fifty years and am relearning the swing using your method.
I was trying to work on the right elbow the other day after watching the football drill, and tried throwing the club with lead elbow…I hit several “fat” shots doing this…could it be I was focusing to much on throwing the right elbow and not shifting weight ?
Question 2, do you ever do any seminars in the US …I live in Ohio and would like to get some first hand teaching.

Hi Elio; thank you for the great feedback;
You simply want to stay with your task of throwing the club to the target pr use the weight of the sword to cut through 2 STEMS (use 2 tees) but just feel that the right elbow has the space to deliver the COMPLETE KINETIC CHAIN. Do you get the difference in focus here?
As for travel, I sometimes go to Chicago area and New Jersey areas as well as Louisville and just got back from Atlanta and sometimes Charlotte.

Shawn you make the most sense on how to approach the golf swing! I notice when you finish your swing that your hands are almost on top of your head and sometimes even in front of your face, almost. Is this something that I should try to copy as well? Is this the result of a proper release and swing? I dont end up in that position but then again I dont hit the ball as well and constant as you, at least not yet.
This move you are seeing is MY WAY of dissipating the excess momentum after the release! Left handed, I slap my back with the club! Everyone has their own way of doing it; sounds like a video to me! 🙂
Haha, stay tuned!! Shawn
I think I actually have the opposite problem as I give myself room with my shorter clubs and struggle big time getting stuck with my driver. Is there a good trick for making sure the distance between body and ball is sufficient to give room? This is so bad for me I almost never tee off with a driver anymore.
Hey David!
Goldie locks it baby! Get way too far from the ball and feel that it would be impossible to swing to the target and hitnthe ball solid; then adjust until you can! Remember the ball on a string!
Hi Shawn,
I’m following your teaching since i have begun to play golf, 10 months ago, and i can say that you have saved me so much time and effort. I’m now a 15.8 handicaper and every time i hit a wall, i find one video that help me keeping making progress. I have also taken a couple of lessons with Edouard Montaz, since i’m from France, and it was great. I really enjoy the new website and the audio files in the Eagle exclusive part are pure gold.
I have one issue that keep bothering me every time i think i have solved it :
I truly recognize myself in the last video you recently posted on your Youtube main channel “Release your club”. I have the same issue as the one your student is struggling with. The club head keep coming sligthly open, causing some fade/slice and losing me some distance. My main feel when i swing is the tomahawk/fishing rod underneath throw. But i’m unable to find the similitude between that feel and the football drill : i would definitively throw the ball like you do but i think i would never throw it like i throw a tomahawk. Where am i wrong ?
Another little thing for the website, don’t you think it could be a good idea if premium or eagle members could ask you some simple questions that you would select and which you could answer to in a some regular videos ?
Thanks for all the great job !
Thomas
Ps : sorry for my poor english…
Hi Thomas! English is very good!
The football drill is not for the release; it is for swing plane, elbow room, and kinetic chain!
The sword is for both football AND release;
See “all about the release shawn clement” and “dominant lead hand shawn clement” and “release the club fully shawn clement” on the regular channel;
The sessions for the “consistency series” start next week and the first one is perfect for you for this situation!!
