Hey Shawn I love your video series. I see t be having some problems with ” levitation “. Feels ;ike when I levitate sometimes it feels as if I lose my balance. I had a stroke 10 years ago and you helped me get back to the game. My right side is a touch slower to respond and it appears I “over swing” and when I do I end tp top the ball. Any tips for keeping me centered. THANKS
Hey John!
Yes, start with the chipping and see where the club wants to bottom out and place the ball back of that; let the weight of both arms swing through the stem of the dandelion and feel what that contact is like; there should be no topping there if you cut through the grass right?
Then pitch then back to irons; and feel what is happening between those shots that is different than with the regular full swing and get back to me.
It has been working much better. However I would suddenly revert to my old swing. I am not certain if it was from my stroke ( 10 Years ago ) or my previous 40+ years of bad swings. I started playing with my grip presser and improver a lot. I have a grip strength of 4/10 with my left hand and a 1 with my right – it stopped me from blading the ball and had a MUCH better release. I can feel my right hand instinctively firm up my grip. Best contact I have had – maybe ever. THANKS !!
Twelve years on – “outa the way, Outa the way” still my mantra!
And a sweet mantra it is! I tell you Marc, when demonstrating the swing to my students now, it is such an awesome meditation out loud! I am so locked into my task now and the shots keep amazing me to this day; NEVER GETS OLD. We are so lucky to experience the world around us through golf; truly a blessing!!
Sean,
I’ve heard you all talking about the TWO TEE DRILL!! Where would I find it or could you please show us how to do it??
thanks,
John
Hey John!
It all started way back on youtube with the “fishing and golf shawn clement” and then we did “early extension shawn clement”. My bad, because I know it is in a couple videos here on premium, like “walk cut strike” and “grass whip training” but I don’t have a dedicated video title to it. Enjoy those videos though! 😀👍
And truly we could let Sav see the old videos and even the old training manual that came with Skully’s first appearances – Truly HISTORIC!!!
😀👍❤️
Great video, this is exactly what I have been needing. I combined this with the feet together drill from the consistency series. Question: it seems that we need to keep a centered base to the top of the swing, correct? Then, after grabbing the ground, the weight shifts forward? It is a challenge to get the weight shifting forward before the top of the backswing is finished. Any tips? By the way…. I do agree that this is a historic video 🙂
When staying so nice and centred in the backswing; there is NO NEED TO SHIFT FORWARD!! YOU SIMPLY DOWNSHIFT!! 💪🤛🤛🏾👍😀🔥💥
You are already above the lead side and when you are still in “I am going to let the UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM release me in that direction INEVITABLY, the downshift happens like magic.
You are getting there, I can feel it in your words! 😀👍
Thanks, Shawn. Can you expound a bit more on the concept of “downshift” in your response? Do you mean the action of going down to grab the ground at the point of levitation? Just want to make sure I get this right.
Haha, yes, you are still getting your head around some concepts; very important question! Please see “pumping up the swing” and “feet together back to feet apart” which was a huge aha Moment!
Hello Shawn,
My golf shots are very good now. my 9 iron is straight and about 155. Thanks to your good teaching. I wanted to ask you something.
I notice with my Cobra F9 hybrid it has an offset. At least it appears that way. My hybrid shots are always going straight left with a hook. When I open the face a bit. The shots go straight right. But my 5 wood is really good and straight.
Can you please explain how to hit this club? When I do hit it I am getting about 235 or so without even trying.
Please help!!
Paul
This I see sometimes! If you are NOT STRUGGLING with the 5 wood, then you have the wrong Hybrid!! Go try other ones at your local shop and get “tour preferred hybrids that don’t have any “anti slice technology!”

Too many hybrids were designed for big draw bias because too many golfers still don’t have our information. This is why players on tour have neutral-“tour preferred”gear that they can maneuver properly for fades and draws. Ping is nice and neutral and their hybrids are awesome in the G-410 and Titleist has a tour preferred model as well. I have had so many students say “i hit my fairway woods well but hybrids not; what is wrong with me”? Well, hybrids should be easier to hit than fairway woods, so that means the wrong club is in your hands and it looks like the case here.
Thank you very much! I am looking at Ping G410 reviews right now.
Always try before you buy! 👍. Go hit some shots at a Golf Galaxy or PGA superstore and compare with other brands-ask for “tour preferred” neutral hybrids. Taylor made coined the tour preferred term…
