Shawn Clement, NOW DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AT THE LEGENDARY ROYAL QUEBEC GOLF CLUB, one of Canada’s premier Royal Clubs, shows you HOW a proper grip leads to a proper arm motion and this in turn leads to a better release for more distance and accuracy.
Hi Jette!
The key here is to feel that Gravity and Centrifugal force is placing the arms and club in the whole swing! These videos are for your understanding only; the best drill for arms is the "perpetual motion drill" combined with the "feet together drill" and the training aid from Izzo which is an elastic bandage that fits around the base of both biceps to keep the elbows close together during the entire swing which keeps the arms infront of the body and gives you the sensation that...
Hey Paul;
I understand completely and the key here is to feel that when you grip the club, that you now have a complete ARM-CLUB UNIT that hangs from the shoulder sockets; see "golf pro lesson grip awareness" and "golf pro lesson takeaway and starting the swing" this is exactly how the Great Payne Stewart did it; feel how when the right arm folds, it causes the wrists to hinge and that the arm unit LOADS UP LIKE A SLING SHOT! Shawn
Hey thanks a lot tshoey22! Much appreciated for the kind words and well wishes; I hope you guys are having a great season! Shawn
Thanks for the response Shawn. Thankfully, after watching most of your videos, I have found my swing. My slice is virtually gone and life is groovy. You're the man!
Shawn, let me thank you for the tip "Wrists Flat" and used the grip pressure technique in your video and it worked. Thanks again! BobMakati
Hey shawn,
man am I glad I found your videos. I am getting your dvd's to take on the road with me. I am single digit am 55 yrs old and have a deteriorating left knee. It is playing havoc with my golf swing. It doesn't like to move in the way it is supposed to. Any suggestions on how to take some pressure off of it without destroying everything you have given me.
I have taken lessons from many teachers and you are the ONLY one that makes perfect sense to me.
thanks again,
bob
The best drill is the "perpetual motion drill" video and you can check out the "Golf Pro Lesson on the slopes" video as well and practice with the ball below the feet; then finish with the timing of the swing with "feet together drill" to "sequence power drills" to "Downswing weightshift" and then practice this sequence in the perpetual motion setting like in the "Bilateral golf swing"; nuff said? :) Shawn
Hey tshoey22! A complete backswing IS NOT A PARALLEL TO THE GROUND thing; a complete backswing means you FEEL THAT YOU CAN WHIP THE SNOT OUT OF THE CLUB WITHOUT USING MUCH EFFORT AND IS RELATED TO HOW MUCH TURN YOU HAVE IN THE WHOLE BODY. If you feel the need to push, help or shove the club through impact, then you are short of completing it; see also "golf pro lesson downswing weightshift"; Great post! Shawn
Yes; you are on the right track; "Golf Pro Lesson Pronation Supination" and "Golf Pro Lesson Contact and Spin" will elaborate on this...Shawn
Hello Shawn,
I would like to thank you for your awesome advice! Tried it out on the course, and my shots are getting consistently more solid. Your lesson is easy to understand and very effective! By the way, I'm just a high school golfer, so I'm still learning!
Thanks,
Adrienne
The GRIP! I've worked all Summer on Shawn's concepts. I first corrected my grip. Immediately, ball contact imporved. But, over the Summer, things deteriorated. I've found that I've crept back to my old grip - right hand rotated more clockwise to the right(stronger?). I think that has long been the source of my shallow swing plane/laid off club .. and troubles. I couldn't hinge my right wrist correctly & it pulled my club off plane. I'm amazed how the grip had such a huge influence on my plane.
Very nice awareness piece here!
Thanks for posting! Shawn
Hi Bob; Thanks!
Have a look at the "Golf Pro Lesson Wrists Flat??" video that shows how the wrists hinge with a good grip, and at the end I explain the why and the how of the grip pressure; Shawn
Hey Man, sorry for the delay!
This is a tilt problem as well as a target perception problem; see "golf pro lesson Tilted Spiral" part 1, 2 and 3; all 3 are primo important! " also see "golf pro lesson Braced Tilt" Part 1 and 2 and "Golf Pro Lesson Proper spine tilt angle"
Hi Anthony;
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier! Busy spring!
There is a short circuit going on in your swing and it sounds to me like your eyes are moving in the backswing; have someone look at your swing and see if my gut is correct; see if the urge to hit is still there when you are swinging through to a target with your eyes closed; you might want to send me a video of your swing too through the swing analysis services page of my website... Shawn
Shawn, during the downswing is your left arm pulling with more grip pressure than you left arm grip pressure? Your teaching is outstanding thanks.
Hey Shawn, Would you describe the left arm motion in the swing as pronating (palm pointing down) in the backswing, and supinating in the downswing (palm up). Is this how the clubhead is square at contact? Thanks.
Yes, you are overthinking it a bit, but you are not the only one and I have created the perfect video for you on this called "Loaded arms shawn clement" and it follows with "how arms and club release shawn clement"
Hey Shawn,
When you mention keeping your left arm straight:
Is the left elbow locked?
-or- Is it just kept to a point that it is almost locked?
At the hinge point:
Does the club stay 90 degrees to your left arm? It seems like the right arm folding beyond this would result in a "crash"?
I am probably over thinking all of this. I love your videos and appreciate all of your help.
Hi Shawn, Continuing to work on the game. I see the beautiful extension in your right arm coming through impact but I even after having tried have not been able to get it right. It kind of folds. Any suggestions. Thanks. Working on seeing you for lessons in July 2011.
Hi Shawn just a quick question. How far into your backswing should your wrists be fully hinged and is there one particular video that describes it? Many thanks
Stephen
...that the arms are swinging as one massive unit gathering taut momentum through the ball towards the target; see the "Golf Pro Lesson training aids part 1 and 2" and you will see that blue band I am talking about and you can order it through the Izzo website for about $12.00; the other videos to watch are "swing plane and "taut swing Philosophy". Shawn
Hey Bob;
Sorry I missed this one; it is a bit tough to give you advice when I don't know what the extent of the damage is and on what side of that left knee; it is difficult as this is the leg that receives the most torque in the swing... I know that a full knee brace has helped many of my students though; what does your doctor say? Have you consulted an orthopedic surgeon yet?
Shawn
Better than that Stephen; go to my "Golf Pro Lesson Perpetual Motion drill" and FEEL where the wrists hinge and unhinge when you COMPLETELY GIVE THE ARM-CLUB UNIT TO GRAVITY! Thanks for the question! Shawn
Have a look at the "Through the ball", "Contact and spin", "Compress through the ball" and "Catapult Power" videos as a start; you will find all my videos on my "you tube Shawn" page of my website listed at the top of the description of this video;
Thanks for the question! Shawn
very nice tips!!!
@djames1967 Please see "golf pro lesson how to coordinate arm motion with body turn"; it has all the answers together with "golf pro lesson stop crashing" ; Shawn
The picture of pushing a child on a swing has been dramatic for me. I now realise that the power point must the heel of my right hand pushing. Correct application causes the arms to drop and the right elbow to lead the arms with a flat left wrist at impact. Can you please confirm that this is a correct understanding because I have never heard to role of the heel of the right hand explicitly explained before.

See the first 2 minutes of the "Golf Pro Lesson Taut swing Philosophy"; Shawn
@mjs0039 It sounds to me like you are allowing the arms to crash into the body because the ball is still your default target; but I would have to see; in the meantime, review my "golf pro lesson stop crashing" video as well as "golf pro lesson top view of swing" and "golf pro lesson coordinating arm motion with body turn"; Shawn
Great stuff ,, have a better posture ,better lean with right leg,,,wen I back into my left side, my body take off way fast , never allowing my arms to fall. I end up with a drag or push away ,,,always had fast body slow arms,,, I'll work setting parking brake,latter today,,get right shoulder to go under me more, thank bill ceeBut
I would also see "feet together drill shawn clement" and "one leg drill shawn clement"
Shawn,
I apologize if i ask to many questions, but is ur left falling in place as if skully was standing to the right of you and you were going to punch him. or would it be as if skully was to the right of you but behind you...lets see as if he was sitting beside you in the movies or behind you.....i dunno tried a clement analogy there....again thanks for everything....
Correction: During the downswing is your left arm pulling with more grip pressure than your right arm and grip pressure?
Very helpful :D
