    Shawn I just picked a video to make a comment that I am absolutely "pasting the ball'! What I would tell people is you have to get your "hands forward ( ball back for me)", "your grip that you teach" and change your task. Lastly, the upper half of your body stay's back through the swing. For me, I concentrate on the ball as if to was sitting on a dime. I remember your video with the "carrot peels". I am trying to sweep the dime. Absolutely insane and easy.... Would love to come to a school just to tighten up or just enjoy Canada. Bravo!!! Walking informercial here.

    Great Shawn! I've been following you for about two years and I've seen hundreds of your videos both on your site and here on UA-cam. This one here is, for my needs and doubts, probably the best. I'm always a little doubtful about how to start the backswing in order to swing in the best way in terms of power... whether with shoulders, hips or legs or arms. Doubt whether to pull the stick back to create the pendulum effect...etc. Unsure which direction to initiate the backswing, whether thinking of a straight line back to square back to the target. But now it's crystal clear....in 5 minutes. Thank you!

    Thanks for the great golf instruction. I now use the catapult (sledgehammer) swing you have taught over numerous videos. Things that solidified it for me where: strong grip ( this allows wrist hinge up/down not sideways like slapping), the downswing starts behind you (another great video of the past), rotation is at core, not shoulders (wow no back pain)
    Best swing instruction ever and I now have a golf swing I can call my own. I don’t want to forget the axe video, another good one. Cheers.

Topped few fairway woods initially but once I placed a ball a touch back they went ok. This is definitely a way forward for me. Thank you!

    Shawn - Great video as always. Do you have any task oriented drills to help get to a proper p6 position like I see you at the 4.42 mark. I can sometimes get there without a ball but as soon as I introduce the ball I am about foot away from where I should be and losing angle early

    • @golflessons
      @golflessons  Рік тому +1

      Not about the positions and how to maintain them; the positions take care of themselves when you are on the right task! See “throw the club straight shawn clement” and be amazed at what P6 looks like when you do this well-and then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” so that you don’t default to the ball trying to find it and stay with throw the club into the direction of flight!

    Hello Shawn
    Thank you for your wisdom of the physics of a golf swing, I think there are a lot of false informations out there from other teachers.
    I only have an understanding problem with the start of the takeway/backswing: A lot of teachers out there teach that the kinetic chain in the backswing is inverse to the downswing, so first arms, then shoulders, then hips. But the understanding of the kettlebell and perpetuum motion tells us, that the hips comes first in the downswing AND backswing, isn't it?. But how can I start the backswing without using my arms? Is this only possible with a trigger? Or should I use my arms slightly? If I do this so, my left knee goes left, then forward (to begin the pump), the right. So it looks very weard and when you swing, it never looks weard.

    • @golflessons
      @golflessons  Рік тому

      You are close! Indeed, 2 linked kinetic chains are what form a golf swing; you need to get with our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see the following titles: “using the weight in your swing, axe drill with Savy” and then “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” and “momentum already there before you start the swing” series and of course, the “perpetual motion drill series” which will not only set you straight but also help you polish and evolve it in the true direction for human machines!

    Shawn-there is a straight line with your left arm and club to the ball? Is this only because you’re trying to hit draw? Brian

    • @golflessons
      @golflessons  10 місяців тому

      Hey Brian! When setting up, you are getting ready to use the weight of the arms and club to deliver a nice dose of momentum into the direction you want to release the shot; when you have a solid grip and a set up ready to go to the target, the shaft will have a natural lean forward and it will appear to be a straight line with the left arm and club. PAY NO MIND TO THAT.
      On our premium channel, see “grip and arm motion” then all the “release” videos including the “important release update” video which is HUGE. Then see the “throwing series” and once you have a good hang of throwing the club in the direction you want to start the ball, you can watch on video and be amazed at how the arms and club organise to load and deliver. Truly an amazing machine!
      Once this is good, then you want to have the ball in the way of this with “the goldilocks series” and “predict contact” videos and finally the “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball” series.

    "Pull get pulled" that set a really good picture in my wee brain. So I'm pulling from top with both arms correct?
    Edit. Should have watched full video before watching. Momentum from top to start than pull to be pulled

    Thanks

    • @golflessons
      @golflessons  5 місяців тому

      It is a feel; when the kinetic chain engages properly, while the legs are engaging and begin pulling the rest of the body through, many golfers experience the sensation of the arms falling down the plane and through to the target; a great way to feel this is in the “throw the club straight shawn clement” video; an oldie but goodie; and you can tell us what YOUR experience is! Be safe though!
