I have been using the Claw Grip on the Putter for a long time. What do you think of that type of Grip. Please respond. Thanks.
Very sound grip anatomically! I did a video for golf wrx on it actually!

Thanks. That was very helpful. You should be a Teacher, ha-ha. Be Well.
Shawn, when putting, should I have the ACU hang naturally with my posture for putter head placement OR should the putter head be under my shoulders?
Hard to tell if the putter is under the shoulders or eyes over the ball or any of those things because we are so bad at body part location.
I feel that your first statement is best; “posture for putter head placement” is the question mark…
ACU hanging from shoulder sockets is the feel though; and the confirmation is when you do a PMD and see the track the putter head wants to stay on and the putter head should hang on that line.
I practiced just the ACU placement and PMD today and hit a lot of solid putts. I have a feeling summer golf is going to be a lot of fun this year. Thanks Shawn!
You bet and go get ‘em!! 😀👍
Hi Shawn
Alway enjoy your videos and your concise, on target explanations. In viewing the putting-stroke and distance video, it appears you do not advocate a forward press of the putter, as that changes the angles and stroke momentum line. What if a person has difficulty initiating the putting stroke? How would you advise to rectify this problem.
The deep key here os this:
We are using the weight of the arm-putter unit to roll the ball in the direction you want to start it;
I used to forward press like Crenshaw when I was a junior player and was able to switch so easily once I felt how to use this weight.
See the “best golfers are lumberjacks shawn clement” and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QVj6cejjBA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq7K3N7qCWs on youtube; very important to be in a state of weight use and not manipulation of the arms and putter; and a forward press with the hands definitely puts you in a manipulative state. Some can handle it and putt well regardless, but I have had some pretty solid success teaching the putting this way!
Hi Shawn, for distance control, I practice the length of my stroke arc on the side before taking the position on the ball. This works better for me than deciding on the arc length at the very end. Is that what you recommend as well? Thanks
This can work; it works better when you match it to the speed you want to see the ball to roll into the hole!

Shawn,
Over the summer I have begun to struggle with Right to Left breaking putts. I’m right-handed and typically what happens is I’ll either accelerate out of fear of leaving it short and hammer it through the break, OR completely decel on it out of fear of running it way by. It’s lead to way too many 3 putts in tournaments. Have the state Senior Am coming up in about a month and been working hard on Right to Left putts to get some confidence back but would appreciate and Drills you may have.
Thanks for Colorado!

I have seen that one before; and it has a lot to do with our side vision debacle; give your brain an absolute reference; meaning aim way way too far right and confirm that it would be silly to even consider that set up; now you have an absolute. Next is to work your way back to the line you picture the ball rolling into AND THE SPEED YOU WANT TO ROLL IN ON. One more look at the ball rolling in on the last 4 feet of the treck and let the momentum react to the picture. Made some awesome putts yesterday doing that!
Thanks for the Response/Input Shawn! Question: Did you receive my Driver Swing video I emailed you 3-4 days ago? I tried to upload it here on the webpage but it didn’t work. Thanks Again!
I did not? Looked for it but some days the emails coming in are very numerous and I lose certain ones; please go ahead and resend; and if I don’t respond within the week, remind me for the next time; can’t leave my peeps hanging!!😀👍
