Well - for 2 weeks I've been taking this new feeling with me to the course and I can say that it has fundamentally changed my game. Bit long winded this but I'm excited... :-)
I've been playing golf since my teens in the early 80s (other than a 15yr break) and have been down to 7, about 2 yrs ago. In Jan I was playing to 8 when I had a massive hand injury with my tablesaw, severing tendons, damaging finger joints and ripping out nerves, almost losing the fingers and thumb of my left hand. For almost 6 months I was resigned to never being able to play a decent round or even hit a big drive again. A tough time for me (and I'm a serious pianist).
In the last 2 months I have been able to hold a club again and have worked very hard to regain my strength and swing. Having had many lessons over the years my mind has been full of swing thoughts as I've come to terms with my 'new' left hand and the challenges it brings. Gingerly I started playing Sat comps and endured an endless procession of scores of around 20 points, blowing out to 10.8.
Then 2 weeks ago, I watched this clip and the image of casting my arms towards the target line has stuck with me. It is so easy to visualise and repeat on the course and it has almost completely replaced the tirade of technical jumbo that would plague me as I stood over the ball. Now I am striking the ball as confidently as ever, but so much better than ever before. My dispersion has reduced significantly and I'm able to shape the ball like never before. This is all so amazing and unexpected for me!
A big event for me this week was to watch my handicap finally turn the corner and come down, signalling that I am actually improving and may even get to low singles one day.
I have worked very hard but I will stand up and attribute most of this wonderful personal victory to Shawn's infinite wisdom and in particular this one clip. I have also learned much from Extraordinary Golf (Fred Shoemaker) about the joy of golf, the mind and being present and aware without being self critical.
As a footnote (because this post isn't long enough yet...), having had months lamenting the real possibility of never playing properly again, now every shot I play is like a Christmas present. I can honestly say that this event has taught me much about gratitude and happily, my enjoyment of the game is in no way linked to my scoring. As the competitive bugger that I am however, I will continue to work my butt off to get as close to scratch as I can before I croak.
So a very big thanks (and a man hug) Shawn if you read this - your help has really been of immense benefit to me, on and off the course! Cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave (and I'm playing piano again too!) :-)
Awesome stuff! It was a pleasure reading your post and it made my Day! This is what golf should be all about! Shawn
I feel exactly the same deldridg, played off 5 for 30 years but never hit the ball that well (short game always saved me). No technical shite in my head now! That feeling of smashing through a door with a battering ram/hammer/the golf club and kind of imagining the left leg is the door frame (or planted against the frame) - using both shoulders and adding perpetual motion in for extra speed and natural lag...it's amazeballz. Shawn rocks. It ties in with the head angle he talks about too and throwing the club to the target. Once you suddenly get it...you suddenly get it and...oh...my...God!!! Thanks Shawn, going to go premium over winter as a thank you :-) (obviously when I've stopped playing so much damn golf)
Good luck to you Deldridg!
Amazeballs comment Rob! My new favourite adjective!! 😝😂😀👍
@@rvhextall That's great Rob! Like for you, my golf is such an important part of my life. Great to feel your game psyche evolve isn't it! After years of doing the same kind of practice and having the same kind of coaching - BOOM, along comes our Canadian buddy and we're quickly up to another level! Very grateful Aussie here (currently not playing golf on a family vacation to Norway). Good luck mate! PS. Google "Lofoten Links golf" and watch the vids - we are staying close to here and will check out the course in the next few days - claim to be the most picturesque course in the world - probably is too!! Cheers - Dave
@@golflessons Use as freely as you like! LOL :-)
Shawn is the Bob Ross of golf instruction (legend). 👍❤
That is a sweet name in golf! Humble thanks! 😀👍
@@golflessons FYI: You are on Vietnamese Golf Channel again, great to see!! Lookin' great Shawn!!
Very cool! Was it with Anna Whiteley?
@@golflessons Yes, but that one has been on a bunch of times. The one on yesterday (Sunday our time) was a new one and only you.
Bob Ross?
Finally a video explaining issues for left handed golfers who are right handed. You should have a video called Canadians who played hockey left handed, and play golf that way . I switched to right got better accuracy lost ton of distance, so switching back. Sorry my comment may not be relevant, but just what u said about Phil made me realize something. Thanks, great work!
Great stuff! And yes, the world authority on which side to choose is right here; we even made a video on it! Search “beginner how to choose which side to play in golf shawn clement”
I'm on it !!!!
Shawn, throwing the club and your grip tip have elevated my ball striking to new, uncharted, levels.
Yessiree my man! Great on you! 👍😀🤘👌💪
I’m actually very experienced at throwing my clubs 🙂
Good for the soul, great for the swing!😝👍
If you are going to throw a club, might as well be the way Shawn prescribes! It’ll benefit our golf games!
Some times I throw it crooked and have to throw a provisional club.
Surprised no other instructors on UA-cam has shared this drill/feel. It has really improved my strike so thank you!
This one is huge for acquiring the right feel for the golf swing!
I love the explanation of the swing/release!
Good lord, this works and how!! I'm currently returning from a bad hand injury (tablesaw) and have blown out from 8.4 to 10.9. Since being able to pick up a club again a month ago I've been working hard at getting things back on track. Today I decided to give this a go, though not with actually throwing the club. The feeling of the arms being cast towards the target, engaging both shoulder sockets (4:05) is perhaps the most profound golf insight I've had in years and years of lessons and playing. The new problems to deal will be relearning my new distances (10% to 15% longer) and managing the embarassment of being right up the middle of the fairway all the time. Very wordy I know but I'm pretty excited and am VERY grateful to you, all the way over here in Sydney, Aust! Cheers and thank you Shawn, Dave
Right on Dave! Thank you for your terrific comment and I can feel the excitement from here and it is just great! Have a blast! Shawn
Glad I found this video, because it provides everything you need to know about making the proper move through the ball - you basically drag the club through until your arms are virtually extended at the target, which makes this drill the ultimate method of learning the essence of the delayed hit - pretty amazing stuff - working with this is really going to pay off. Thanks for the great explanation!!!
boom! Instant accomplished golfer! 👌👍😀👊
Throwing the club drill in combination with keeping the head back from an imaginary door frame and feeling the right shoulder coming down and through has helped my release tremedously - thanks Shawn for your passion of teaching and sharing all your wisdom...
That is how you do it Jimmy! Your description tells me you are on track! Shawn
I enjoy your instruction very much Shawn. Very easy to understand without all of the “professional player” instruction. Your an amateurs godsend! 👍🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Jason! Very cool of you to say; playing on course is enough of a challenge; golfers need something simple to hang their hat on and be able to call on it and lean on it when it counts!
Thank you Shawn!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Literally so much gold in this. Saved my enjoyment of the game. The hardest part is committing to the throw when you get over the ball.
Best way to do this I’ve found is ask yourself “did I throw the club at my target?” Make that the first thing you evaluate after a shot!
Spectacular!
Shawn, I came across one of your videos that was similar to this a couple of weeks ago. It drove the point home for me, maybe for the first time, that the target is not the ball, and that my energy goes to the target and not to the ball. This changed everything for me (mentally). Thanks so much!
Game changer, aint it.
To be able to cross this bridge in golf is truly awesome and opens so many new doors to the game! Congrats on that realization!
Thanks - very helpful!
Hi again Shawn! Still watching your videos as we bring this golf season to a close. Made it down to a 6.6 handicap this year so not too bad but got some work to do. The point of my post today is something I discovered while doing drills throwing the club. I did some video work this last week comparing my throwing the club drills with my actual swing and was disappointed at the difference I saw. I thought I was getting it but I was missing something. I set out to do some hard work and get it fixed so I was truly throwing the club in my swing and not flipping at the bottom. I got so frustrated that I couldn't get the result in my real swing that I put my clubs away and meditated a little on exactly why my brain would not allow me to throw the club at the bottom. I convinced myself I would give it one last try and I finally had a breakthrough! My flipping the club at the bottom was simply my brain saying, "Hey idiot...you're never gonna hit this ball if we don't somehow get this club head LOWER TO THE GROUND!" So I tried exaggerating at first...getting myself as low as I could to the ground with what I felt was excessive knee bend. Wouldn't you know it...flushed shot after flushed shot and NO FLIP! The interesting part was what felt like excessive knee bend to me looked like a normal, athletic stance on video. Classic struggle of real vs. feel.
Anyway, I really hope this post benefits someone else as I'm sure there are others that are struggling with something similar. Any person that struggles/struggled with flipping the club is going to be WAY WAY WAY too far from the ground to actually throw the club as shown in your videos. Answer...get LOWER...WAY LOWER. You will find yourself smashing shots with awesome lag and being way more consistent throwing the club. Thanks again Shawn for all of your hard work! - Chris
Woooohoooo Chris!!! Exactly!
There is a big difference between the distance to ball when you release AT IT vs when you deliver DEEPLY THROUGH IT!! Way to go man; meditation has it’s advantages big time!!
Hi Shawn. Just wanted to say a big thanks for this video (and your coaching methods in general) from down in Australia and helping me get rid of swing thoughts and enjoy my golf. It’s taken me a few months of practice to get my head and body used to the feeling of ‘throwing towards the target’ but on the weekend it all clicked. My handicap has yo-yoed around 15 and I have never nailed a hole round of consistent ball strikes for a whole round. But on the weekend I was able to hit consistently pure shots and even holed a sand wedge from 130yds! I can’t wait to get out there and do it again!! 🙏👍😎
Right on Kurt! So happy for you and your breakthrough! Keep representing us out there! 💪😀👍
Wow! This actually is extremely helpful. After practicing this for a half hour, I am striking the ball consistently now. It still pulls left but it feels great and effortless. I've been sad over my game for a while, it's really nice seeing some breakthrough. It also made me realize my grip was a bit too strong, I am now holding it in my right hand how I do with just my right hand (still strong but not ultra strong). Def adding that flicking motion with one hand as a practice swing before each shot moving forward! I've been watching a lot of your content and it has been giving me hope, thanks :)
Right on Brandon! You should check out our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see “lead hand release”, “trail hand release”, “release fine tuning”, “snap release polish” and then the “throwing series” where we throw all different length of clubs and finally you want to be able to predict how the ball will be in the way of this throw with “predict contact” and “the goldie locks” series. This will get you next level and it’s just $9.95 a month!
Brilliant!
This just helped fix my slice, with a slight change to the grip too based upon natural grip to throw. I have now gone from topping, slicing, and duffing shots, to hitting a good 70% clean and further. Just need to continue sticking to a routine setup and natural take away focusing on the target... Boom, awesome videos and instruction keep up the good work.
Way to go Jason! Another good complement to this video is the sword Slash drill! ua-cam.com/video/2k6QOcAQrk8/v-deo.html
Nice clearance Clarence
I've had so many great range sessions with other theories and swing thoughts; push down, turn, drop, turn over, pull the shoulder etc....I get grooved and really start to hit the ball almost like a scratch player. None of that can I actually do on the golf course; at least not consistently. However, this lesson, throwing the club is the most natural thing you can do for your swing IMO. If you are confused, or are having a hard time, I'd suggest just doing this a few times, relax and go play some golf. Because it's winter, this is the only thing I'm doing now, no time for the range, and my scores are dropping. I wish I could get my putting to cooperate some more, but it is fun to just go out there and swing like if you're throwing the club at your target. Thanks Shawn.
Yeah man! This drill flawlessly transfers weight at the right time, clears the hips at the right amount and produces deep and lasting lag all the way THROUGH the ball and towards the target. Combine this with “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement golf wrx” and you get even deeper and better! As for your putting, you know we have the goods there too right? LIKE DEEP AND EASY!
Hi Shawn, this looks interesting I will try it. Cheers.
Had my daughters (they are 9) throw their clubs a few times before they hit the range today and they both made some of their best swings yet!
We're having such a blast!
Right on Bill!! That is so awesome; you have some video of that? Would love to see it!
@@golflessons - I WILL GET SOME FOOTAGE! ;)
I remember Fred Shoemaker talking about this but I always felt this wasn’t aplicable to irons. However, this is golden advice for the driver in developing the skill. I feel I have to get the head moving quicker and create more lag to feel the club is being thrown up to the target. It’s definitely a hole in my golfing skills. So I’m looking forward to more natural ball speed.
Hey Chris! You definitely want to see our “throwing series” on premium where we show the true nature of this action WITH ALL LENGTHS OF CLUBS while matching the set up to each type of club from wedges, to mid irons, to long irons and hybrids and fairway woods to driver. Then you want to see “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” to understand where the power source comes from; A HUMAN REFLEX ACTION CALLED THE KINETIC CHAIN OR KINEMATIC SEQUENCE; once you understand what to focus on to get that sucker activated, watch out! Big power awaits!
@@golflessons will do. I coach athletics and this really speaks to me. It should be the staple for most players as a basic skill.
What's funny is, I've been watching your videos for YEARS!! And throwing the club JUST kicked in YESTERDAY!! (Slow learner I guess) but it actually clicked when you said , the club should feel like it's coming out of your sockets, the directions you are throwing it. Me! I've always had a problem with having more of my momentum going towards the ball instead of the target.... Meaning, starting my downswing fast and hard, & by the time the club passed my body or the ball, the momentum was DEAD! THANK YOU
The light bulb went on big time! Congrats!
Very good video. That body clearance is very importan't. It could be also reason why Phil is using more neutral grip. With strong grip he might have some hook problems. Well offcource amazing player 👍 Club throwing is fun drill and i like that premium channel ☺
Love to try this, but I don't know where to do it. 😂
hope you found all those clubs
I was just practicing this and it's clear that I've been accelerating the club at the ball vs at the target. I have been accelerating too soon.. 🤪
Shawn, this vid is an eye opener and revelation of how deep into the downswing the arms-hands must be without releasing the angles where the full straightening of both arms occur about two feet past impact. It’s difficult to trust this proper and late release to occur because, for me, I tend to tighten up or tense up just before impact thinking the clubface will be wide open and not square up. The revelation is to have and trust tension free and “oily” shoulder-arms hinges, especially in the wrists. Do you have a method or skill you can suggest so I don’t need to “bust my brain or mind” to overcome this innate fear? I have a terrible time with this mind game which negatively fights my natural tendency to release at the ball.
Hi Harvey! See the response I gave Dim Willow on this. We have an incredible ability to predict as human beings on this planet; we are gravity geniuses! On our premium channel, we have a whole slew of videos that will help with this big time. For the clubface open part you mentioned, so many golfers don’t realize that their grips are way too weak and will not allow them to go deep into the target at all; see “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement” and then see “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement”
This advice, along with waiting for the weight of the club, is as important as the fundamentals of grip, stance etc. I thinks it’s that important!
It’s essentially the difference between actually playing golf and just digging random holes in the ground. I know what I’d rather be doing.
Thank you Shawn!
Great video! I love the methodology of teaching by feel instead of strict mechanics. I'm right handed, and you were exactly right, my first throws went high and left. I've been able to correct that, and get my throws lower and just right of center. The resulting swings have produced nice solid contact and a ball that start just a few degrees right. The problem is that I'm still turning them to the right. It's a nice fade, not a spice, but I can't get that little draw you talk about. Any advice?
Means the club is too open to start or the release is not complete; see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement golf wrx” and on our premium channel, for just $9.95 per month, see “lead hand release”, “trail hand release”, “release fine tuning” and “snap release polish” and “most important video on grip ever” and then see “predict contact” and the “goldie locks series” for starters!
@@golflessons Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. I watched the videos this weekend and got back to the simulator this afternoon. A stronger grip and some work on the release had me hitting 195yd 6 irons with a few years of draw. Not only did your advise help my ball flight, but I've also gained about 15 yards. I can't, though, seem to replicate the results with my driver. No matter what I try, it still moves left to right. I thought I saw something in one of your lessons about adjustments when going from the irons to driver, but I can't find it now. Can you point me in the right direction?
Just a quick question regarding tension and effort Shawn. Does your actual swing feel like an easy throwing motion to you, where you're just sort of helping the natural motion of the club out? And if so, when you want to put something extra on it, do you just sort of speed that throwing motion up?
After frying my brain with too much technique based thoughts I have tried this for a couple of rounds and have seen some promising results. More distance, compression and a penetrating ball flight. Just thinking about throwing the club at the target is really my only major swing thought at the moment. I still hit a lot of shorter irons fat but that's another story. Thanks Shawn.
Just means you are not staying with the task from the get go! See “how to put the ball in the way of the swing shawn clement golf wrx” and predict contact based on the throw to target and also, make sure you are throwing through an intermediate point; see :”why you can’t line up properly shawn clement”
@@golflessons Ok thankyou.
I use this with absolute beginners and they end up striking the ball remarkably well in no time whatsoever. Forget about grip, don't waste any time on stance or takeaway, etc, just tell them to throw a club. So simple, we are all wired on how to do this. Wish I had known about this so many years ago. Without a doubt, this is hands down the number one drill for beginner golfers. Period.
This is very helpful. I think one thing that makes it harder with a golf club is that you are not just throwing a straight stick on one plane. You are throwing an angled stick that is on plane only part of the time. It's more like throwing a hockey stick. So you can't just imagine throwing your hands in a straight circle in your mind. The club head might travel in a simple circle on one plane, but your hands divert inward from that circle as the face of the blade turns square. Or am I misunderstanding that?
Do you set up with your body and vision kind of oriented toward the target or does that sort of happen in transition?
Shawn j'ai essayé ce truc depuis 3 ans car j'ai tendance à tirer légèrement vers la gauche et c'est la première fois que j'ai un bon résultat en l'essayant lorsque je lance vers un arbre. Aurais-tu un truc lorsque la cible est loin? Bravo! tu me surprendras toujours avec tes drills.
Lance toujours à droite de la cible au loin; mais essaie toujours d’avoir un point intermédiaire très prêt pour t’orienter et livrer ton lancer. La vue de côté est toujours trompeuse et ne doit jamais être utilisée!
merci pour le conseil 👍
Thanks for the great videos! I started with your sledgehammer video from years ago and have been binge watching lol. For throwing, Do you throw to the target or to the line you want the ball to start? When I have the target in mind it tends to make my path more out to in. (Could have something to do with distorted side vision you mentioned).
Hey Jamison! Yes man, you bet! You want to throw in the direction you want to start the ball and I recommend you go the next step and get on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com (only $9.95 per month) and see “alignment reload”, “blur of club”, all the “arc blur” videos, the 2 tee perpetual motion drill video and finally “draw fine tuning” and “fade fine tuning”
@@golflessons Awesome thanks! I actually paid for premium earlier this morning and watched the PMD I will check out the rest (to others seeing this comment… premium is well worth it!) I really appreciate your response . . . your passion for teaching . . . and your unique approach to tapping into the powerful unconscious mind.
I’m a little worried about changing my grip. I’m a lead wrist bower. But man, your grip videos make a ton of sense (seeing instant results on irons . . . Still figuring out the launch with woods / hybrid). Thank you again!
This is a great exercise, where in the world can we go to actually throw a club?
You bet it’s good! Find a driving range with a netted area; see if you can go to the sides or the back of the range to throw into the net; again, safety first! make sure there is nothing behind you or to your left as a right handed player!
When you say throw the club what should think we are throwing towards the target? The grip, hands, arms, clubhead? Thanks
RHE FULL LENGTH OF THE COMPLETE CLUB!🚀😀👍
@@golflessons ok cause I just working on closed club face today which I actually used to do 15 years but got away from it. Anyway some very nice Irons … definitely more solid with draw. My driver was awful… but was killing driver at range 2 days ago using closed club face at address. I think to many swing thoughts caused poor play. Btw I’m 61 only 5.4 had my HC down to 10 but creeped up last couple years 14. But had a couple of low 80’s this year. Hopefully with these new changes I’m getting from you I can get back near single digits. Thanks for replying I appreciate it!!!!
Hi Shawn.. Can you please put this throw together with taking a divot and not topping the ball? How does this full release feel when taking a divot?
See “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” and on premium see “predict contact” and “goldie locks series” as well as “pre-motor cortex goldie locks series”
We have a new “Throwing series” starting this week and the “short stop throw” will put you in a perfect set up for divot taking!
It feels like cutting grass.
All your videos are great and I'm trying this. I'm throwing the clubs straight as long as I have no intermediate point (ball, 2 pegs, dandelion, grass or whatever). As soon as I'm trying to take a step forward to hit something, I'm throwing the club backwards again. Almost hit my car in the front yard from practicing in the back yard, and I have smashed some tiles on my roof... I just can't NOT focus on what I want to bring with the motion into the picture. I wouldn't take defective out as a possibility... Any ideas?
Don’t be careful or try to place the throw; it is called a throw for a reason! Just more practice!
Here!!🤣
I’ve thrown a few clubs in my time :-). I do need to take my old clubs out to throw “Shawn-like”. It’s a way to get the mechanics right without over-thinking. Love to toss a ball to help with pitches. I did focus today on a spot 18” in front of the ball - like I wanted to hit thru that spot and I hammered the shots long and straight! Even with some swing mechanic thoughts still running thru my head - the focus ahead of the ball “worked”.
Right on Ronald! Stay with that focus like fighter pilots stay with their wing men! 😎👍
Often times, I want to throw the clubs...now, I'm gonna do it. When I get out there.
Go for it! Very important to your golf development!
So if you throw towards a target the clubhead will automatically be square? You dont have to think about the clubheads rotation?
Hi Dim!
Your anatomy is already perfectly designed for rotation is all aspects; however, being able to predict that the distance to ball, ball position, club face angle-grip relation and levels are optimum at address so that when you do throw the club to the target, you can predict that the ball will be well struck, and start on the line you want and curve in the air the amount you want.
See “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” and for those of you on premium, the videos are “predict contact” and “the goldie locks series”
My pro has had me toss a small medicine ball. Helps with the release and my rotation to clear the hips better vs my slide and tilt. Hands even, Ball is straight. If I rotate right hand over left on release: draw. Hold left over right on release: get a fade.
Seriously I would be worried about ruining my clubs/shafts ... I like the feel you are going for however . I have a similar feel , I use with my bottom hand only along for the ride and pushing with palm area but not attached . See Vijay Singh impact with bottom hand , it’s almost off the club. I find this similar to a throw feel .
stuey2112 Roll up about 4 towels at impact position and do the same thing. The towels will slow down the clubs after you release them and you will still be able to tell the release direction.
Melted butter; I think you are onto something and gave me a sweet idea for a video!! Thanks bro! Oh, and you are exquisite on my mashed sweet potatoes! 😝😉
Hey Stuey! This is why we go to “play it again sports” and get old $5.00 clubs; and please don’t throw graphite shafted clubs! They brake easily;
You will not have to let go of the club with the bottom hand btw when you throw the clubs; both hands can participate in the task as long as you are NOT throwing AT THE BALL.
@melted butter: have you seen Liam Robinson do that? He’s a European Tour pro, said he didn’t have the $$ to hit range balls one year so he’d slam into a bunch of old towels with a very light grip. That’s how he prepared for the tour one year ( might have been weather too, along with $$). If the club released straight, he knew he was doing it correctly.
Excellent instruction as usual Shawn. Thank you! However, there is no doubt that you’re crazier than a loon eh! 😳😜🤪
😜😜😎
I wish I had a real golf instructor near me
See the description in this video and see if there is one of our guys in your neck of the woods!
Shawn: what do you think of the “360 Yard Impact” training aid? I have been endeavoring to eliminate my hip slide on the downswing and when I think of slamming the back of my left wrist into a wall I seem to rotate and clear my hips without thinking. Then I saw someone come up with that training aid....have you tried it?
Perhaps another way to picture it would be like throwing the club like it was an axe into a tree…
I tried throwing my club. I’m struggling with throwing it left. Keep going back to it.
Make sure you havena proper intermediate point to throw through on the way to target; 2 feet in front of you max!
Shawn Clement’s Wisdom In Golf Lessons so pick a spot on ground 2 ft in front and make that the aiming point?
@@canefan17 yes, exactly! See “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement”
You owe me a new set of clubs now
😂😂😂😂
But I actually getting a feeling of throwing the club in actual swing?
Yes, you bet! IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!
Shawn, do you realize that if golf required every swing to alternate between lefty and righty you would be the best golfer in the world?
Pretty cool huh! 😀👍👌💪🤛💥🔥
