Hi Shawn My comment is not relative to today's video but an oldie but goldie video of yesteryear.. I've been really struggling lately so I waded through your old videos "what to do when you lose your swing" Your old video was a life saver for my game. I played the whole round with only one swing thought -OUT OF THE WAY-OUT OF THE WAY ! It slowed down my tempo and blocked out all other swing thoughts about positions, straight left arm etc etc. Shawn that video was 2015 but still valid 7 years later. Thanks for all you do.
Can confirm this works. We all get told tee it high hit up blah blah blah. But I hit hardly any fairways. So I started working on a lower trajectory fairway finder and turned out I just hit it way better teed up low. Been trying to get attack angle hovering around 0. So far I’ve been hitting more fairways but the biggest thing is my misses haven’t been anywhere near as big. Less curve and more predictable. Also I went from 7.5 deg loft up to 10 which also had. A big impact. I’m not hitting had many out to 320+ but I’ll take 300-310 in the fairway over 320-330 in someone else’s fairway.
When we went to the Mexico open, we saw the vast majority of players doing this; Kitayama, Champ, Finau, and because of today’s low spin tech, they were hitting nice low bullet runners that were the best in windy confitions.
Just watching you consistently for about 2 months, off and on for the 2 and half years I’ve played. I’ve fixed my swing. I carry driver anywhere from 270-290, learned how to play 4 different shots with driver. Yesterday I hit 2 par 4s. I hit a 283 with a fade right over tree line on the left side. Then never hit the green on 18. It’s 305 uphill, hit the draw. Guy at the clubhouse said he’s only ever saw one other person hit it off the tee and the guy hit it with his wood
I always thought this is the way to do it, it makes more sense to me. I started having issues controlling the driver since teeing it high, so this is a welcome piece of advice! Thank you 🙏
Would a higher lofted driver, mine are 12+, help with this swing? I too have trouble creating that upward angle of attack but no problem with fairway woods off very low tee height. My miss is often a dead pull.
Always thought there was too much emphasis put on teeing it high and off the front foot. I know for me I get way more compression doing it this way than the other. I think learning this would be more feasible for most amateur golfers also then the tee it high rule.
Watched Mu and Savs LD comp yesterday. Both did amazingly well for being their first time. Mu hit some bombs and Sav accuracy was impeccable in that playoff. It’s too bad they don’t let some of these new comers introduce themselves on the stream but it was really impressive to watch some of those drives. I think they both have a shot at being highly competitive. Sav I think has a bit of a head start due to the smaller field but Mu was keeping up with a bunch of those guys. I liked seeing Mu set the intermediate point throwing the tee out in front of his drive. Great job y’all.
Yeah Man! thanks for the great comment Patrick! they did do awesome and the reps under pressure in the playoff were SUPER IMPORTANT for Savy and now she knows she can do it under the gun! 👍👌💪😀
I have started teeing it low to hit a Cut Fade with some power behind it. It’s far easier to control on my end, and yeah I lose probably 10 total yards, but I’m not a pro, I’d rather play from the fairways, and with this set up I can do it consistently.
Is this set up for the ‘new low spin’ drivers only or for all drivers? Do we not set up with the ball forward and off the lead foot and hit up on the ball?
The majority of our driver swings are exactly that; see “driver speed and smash shawn clement” or “driver shawn clement” for that matter and check out the dozens of videos we have on that; we wrote the book!
I used the lower tee that was about 1/8" lower than what I was using today, with a lot of wind and even though it my second round after 6 months of not playing, due to injury, I hit more fairways than usual and got good distance, and i wasthinkingaboutloweringmy tee hight and this video confirmedot. I even hit a low driver shot that you showed in the premium channel and it didn't get above the trees at all.
Problems for me have stemmed when I get the ball forward and higher tee. Still working on not focusing on the ball, it’s helped a lot but this works a lot better for me where I play because 4 of the 6 fairways I need to pull driver are tight where I play
get plenty of reps using the ground as a training aid and then when you are easily staying along the ground, you get a nice consistent low point and then when you want to tee it high, you get more success!
Thank you Shawn for everything you share, literaly 90% of my swing is being built around your wisdom. . Question tho, what is your club angle. 9° 10.5?
Love your channel, question on faces and draws...you said play the ball a nudge up for fade and nudge back for a draw.... are you opening the face when you move ball forward in your stance? And closing for the draw? You dont really mention that ....please elaborate....gracias
Hey Greg! Check out “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” as well as “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” in our premium channel, you would want to see “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning” and would also want to have a release that is anatomically sound by seeing all the “release” videos and the “grip” videos. Then use the “goldie Locks series” to blend!
I have been doing this but also choke up so to hit like a 3 wood. Works pretty well if I am struggling or not warmed up yet. But next practice session I will try thus full length and see what happens. I don't always think of these things on my own - haha
@@golflessons yes! When I was fitted we made mine 1/2 inch shorter than standard. It is a triple diamond so even my low punch shots roll out to 270. At 58 I can still hit 300 but only on the open holes where there are no houses or roads😁 thanks for being so helpful!
Bringing the ball back to center was challenging today. took me a bit to figure out the new swing (level swing) I want better accuracy and not miss the fairways. Staying low to the ground is tough. rather than getting the upward and out swing. if anything. had the snap hook today
Hey Vince! Not the ball in the centre!! The centre of the club head! If you set up for the straight fade, play the centre of club a hair forward of centre which places the ball just inside the lead heel.
Shawn , Where is the ball placement when Clubhead is in the center, Just ahead of the clubhead ? When teed high left heel? But clubhead never right behind the ball ? I noticed this when you swing the clubhead is not close to the ball ? Keep the goods coming .
Have you ever heard pf the ''water skier golf analogy'? I was wondering what do you think about it. I cant seem to use your ''throw the club to the target'' i need something like this analogy for me to have a feel. I've recently (8 weeks) started using your videos and it has helped me a lot! breaking 90 now but i still struggle sometimes with my follow through and the other day i started using the skier anlogy and it seemd to help but i kep hitting the toe of the club a lot and wasnt sure if this fits with what you preach. I notice not every pro does this analogy
Exactly! Especially when you deliver with momentum along the ground towards the target; we have another task called painting we just put out with Jammie Lett, our Teacher from Oxford Alabama; check it out at our home page!
I'll try this today. 1. Should I set up for a slight fade with the tee this low? 2. Am I trading carry for roll (which I have no issue with as long as I am on the fairway). 3. Hitting down on the ball can cause some wild mishits. As an amateur how can I train for a lower arc at the bottom of my swing please?
fade is easier here but we are talking straight fades; see the stripes on my driver? Helps my students see the blur of club to see where the club is passing and where the bottom of the arc is; you want the bottom of the arc at the ball with driver, and just past the ball with everything else. Our $10.00 per month premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com has really awesome series of videos called “arc blur” and “path blur” to really help you with this; also my whole life’s work in golf instruction is in this and you can follow along in the list of videos by date and see awesome series such as the “senior series” which is like a power series for everyone and “beginner series” which helps you brush up on fundamentals for those who are less familiar with my teachings. Enjoy!
i have struggled with driver since i started playing massive slice . I have a strong grip and tried everything with no consistancy . i can hit the driver off the deck at the range on a matt . i find that i consistantly hit the ball high in the face and sky them alot . when i dont they are slices . normal drives are about 200 to 250 i have had one drive 300 yards . im going to give this a shot .
@@golflessons Thanks i watched it and it might work for me because when i set up i would hold club in left hand square to ball then bring my right hand to the club i didnt tilt much though . off to see if it works . its bad when you would rather play with a 2 hybrid than driver .
I’ve always had more success with teeing it low in spite of every conventional teaching protocol saying tee it high. Two questions: I didn’t quite understand the concept of “use the ground as a training aid”. Also, what’s the purpose of ball in the middle of the stance vs opposite left heel?
Hi Paulie. What I take from his comment about using the ground as an aid is if you're skimming the club along the ground you know you will hit the ball in the centre of the club face. In your second question he specifically says the club was in the centre of the stance, not the ball. So that puts the ball closer to the heel. Lately more instructors have been promoting teeing the ball high and closer to the big toe. If I do that I have a terrible slice.
club in the centre, not ball, and we are keeping the sole of the club along the ground like a stone skipping on water INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HIT AT THE BALL which would cause an angle of attack that is too steep and make the ball balloon up with spin!
As someone who plays driver from the deck, on a regular basis, I tee it up kinda low, and hit this shot all the time. I literally hit my driver as if it’s a 9 degree fairway wood. Had 272 to the pin the other day, and hit driver off the deck onto the green. lol
Hey Shawn, I see you and Mu pickup your trailing(right) foot before you start your backswing I presume as n trigger, think you should do a video on that😉👍
I’d like to get him with more loft because that peak height is just far too low. Could have the same exact effect on consistency but actually still get it out to 280-290.
If Mu is in a long drive competition and the other guy goes 0 for 6 all out of the fair way or if its a windy day and Mu hits first he could use a fairway finder swing on the first ball to get the one ball in the grid insurance.
Yes, but Shawn looks like he's hitting an easy flop shot when he swings the driver and hits it 300! I noticed that at the Canadian Open in 2016 when I was in the galleries on Friday, some of the pro's have these long, lazy, languid swings that appear useless until club meets ball then BOOM.
Hmm, Darrell Klasson is a retired pga pro who strongly advocates against using a high tee and I think it makes sense, trying to hit a ball cleanly when it’s 4 inches off the ground ain’t a simple matter!
I would like to see real world lessons from your students in the wild. Sav and Mu are great but some of us real world golfers don't have availability to the intense instruction and limitless access to state of the art facilities and tech.
Shawn , It appears your backswing is made without the right wrist going into bent position, Is that correct ? More straight inline ? Do you have a video of how to arrive at that position, then have a right wrist bent at the top . At first when I attempted your style of swinging , with the understanding way you closed the clubface and realign the face with body , have appearance of a strong grip. I didn't pick up until this video that you have a straight right wrist . So both wrists on the back swing only cock up , neither should be bent , left could be a little cupped ? Just putting the last couple pieces in place . Good stuff .
see an oldie but goodie called “Grip and Wrist hinge shawn clement” and “loaded arms shawn clement” and on our premium channel the titles are “Grip and arm motion” and all the “release” videos
Hey Shawn I started randomly shanking wedge shots recently. Not sure what's going on. I focus on my target and releasing through to my shot etc etc and for whatever reason on anything other than full wedge I'm hitting dangerously close to the hosel. Doesn't matter if I stand further, or closer I almost shank every time now. No idea what's happening but can't shake it
Hey Kourt; you are just stuck on the contact with the ball instead of staying with the shot TO THE TARGET. See “solid contact =no shanks shawn clement” and the “football drill shawn clement” and then see the “spinning through the ball shawn clement” On premium you would see the “spinning series” and the “football drill series”
@@golflessons I'll check those out as well. I feel like I'm not focused on the contact, I feel like I'm swinging through to my target but regardless the strike creeps more and more heel side.
Teeing it low, unless you're using a 3 wood will definitely cost you distance unless you're playing a firm course that will allow the ball to roll a great deal.
hey Mike! you will gain a ton of distance if you are teeing low and hitting down on it at the moment and creating too much spin! the technique here is about FOLLOWING THE GROUND and removing excess spin for big gains in distance!
Not necessarily. Teeing it low can also for some make it A LOT easier to consistently find the middle of the club face. Therefor getting more out of your shots including longer average carry due to consistency of strike.
Question Master of golf: I driver longer, straight and with low trajectory with a low tee. Every time I try to mimic the hitting high on the ball it's just a recipe for disaster. Should I continue with what works event though, low tee should be considered for windy conditions. I hope I make sense.. 🙏
When you go to the next tour event or watch golf on tv, you will see a huge percentage of players tee the ball low. Stay with what you have a bit longer and then you can simply progressively tee it higher and play the ball a tad forward. See “driver speed and smash shawn clement” for a great take on this!
boom! With today’s lower spin drivers, you can use a 10.5 degree, get a nice 12 degree launch with low spin and get some solid yardage and not give up the accuracy!
You won't believe this. I touched a golf club for the first time in 2016, at age 64. By setting the tee low, and the ball further closer to center than recommended, I was covering 240 yards as a beginner fairly consistently. But as I took more "correcting" golf lessons over 6 years, I found myself losing distance and control with the driver. About 2 months ago, in desperation, I went back to my beginner settings. Bingo...the magic returned. No more driver lessons for me.

The lower tee height was pretty prevalent at the PGA Championship this weekend. Great tip!
The new low spin drivers are shaking things up!
I always thought this is the way to do it, it makes more sense to me. I started having issues controlling the driver since teeing it high, so this is a welcome piece of advice! Thank you 🙏
Yes sir! use this for a while to enjoy accurate drives and then try again later when you are able to stay along the ground wider!😀👍
Would a higher lofted driver, mine are 12+, help with this swing? I too have trouble creating that upward angle of attack but no problem with fairway woods off very low tee height. My miss is often a dead pull.
High lofted is perfect! 😀👍

Downwind: tee it high and let it fly. Personally, I prefer these low penetrating shots cause I live in Newfoundland and it's always windy as hell.

Bracing against the target while getting behind the ball. See our oldie but goodie called “feel the braced tilt shawn clement” part 1 and 2.

Amazing to see how Mu looks like he is casually swinging the club but hitting 300 yards plus
It is really fun to watch; we had a cool session hitting into a 3 club wind yesterday afternoon; it is really LONG RANGE penetrating drives!

Hey Kourt; you are just stuck on the contact with the ball instead of staying with the shot TO THE TARGET. See “solid contact =no shanks shawn clement” and the “football drill shawn clement” and then see the “spinning through the ball shawn clement”
On premium you would see the “spinning series” and the “football drill series”
@@golflessons I'll check those out as well. I feel like I'm not focused on the contact, I feel like I'm swinging through to my target but regardless the strike creeps more and more heel side.
You’re still hitting up on the ball?
You bet! Along the ground can be anywhere between +2.5 to -1.5 angle of attack
I would like to have seen both of you hit some draws for a comparison. Just wondering what the height would have been. Maybe at a future video.
Teeing it low, unless you're using a 3 wood will definitely cost you distance unless you're playing a firm course that will allow the ball to roll a great deal.
hey Mike! you will gain a ton of distance if you are teeing low and hitting down on it at the moment and creating too much spin! the technique here is about FOLLOWING THE GROUND and removing excess spin for big gains in distance!
Not necessarily. Teeing it low can also for some make it A LOT easier to consistently find the middle of the club face. Therefor getting more out of your shots including longer average carry due to consistency of strike.
Question Master of golf: I driver longer, straight and with low trajectory with a low tee. Every time I try to mimic the hitting high on the ball it's just a recipe for disaster. Should I continue with what works event though, low tee should be considered for windy conditions. I hope I make sense.. 🙏
When you go to the next tour event or watch golf on tv, you will see a huge percentage of players tee the ball low. Stay with what you have a bit longer and then you can simply progressively tee it higher and play the ball a tad forward. See “driver speed and smash shawn clement” for a great take on this!
Launch angle 5.7; smash 1.43, and still carry over 300????ive done a lot of fittings in my years and have never seen those numbers
I know! You should see it in person on the course! We just played our first round this week and it was crazy fun to watch!
Always hit it better with it teed up lower, I have a tendency to find the center of the face better and I usually hit it further
boom! With today’s lower spin drivers, you can use a 10.5 degree, get a nice 12 degree launch with low spin and get some solid yardage and not give up the accuracy!
@@golflessons brilliant, helped me so much shawn
You won't believe this. I touched a golf club for the first time in 2016, at age 64. By setting the tee low, and the ball further closer to center than recommended, I was covering 240 yards as a beginner fairly consistently. But as I took more "correcting" golf lessons over 6 years, I found myself losing distance and control with the driver. About 2 months ago, in desperation, I went back to my beginner settings. Bingo...the magic returned. No more driver lessons for me.
So no more tee it high and watch it fly?😁
For sure! That will never stop! But for many, this is way more efficient and a shot you need to have in the bag! 👍😀
Why is the podcast 28 seconds long this week?
Thanks for letting us know. We are working to fix that now.
@@wisdominmovement I was very disappointed! I’m glad it can be fixed
Obviously tee height is personal to each individual, this might work out for some and not for all.
Exactly!! when you see it, you will FEEL if it’s right for you!
Was this meant to be a joke? You never see the long drive guys tee it low for a reason.
I think this video is on accuracy and not distance
Yes for the average golfer not the long drive champ. Golf is about making ypur best score..
Hi Jay! for accuracy AND for hitting bullets in long drive! Mu used this in his 4th set and hit 340 into a 2 club wind!
I do not like this video. It goes against everything I have ever learned.
