The more careful you are, the more the brain will cease the body to allow you to manipulate the club; this will be in vain as the body is now smack dab IN YOUR WAY!! The route has to be the one of the SEASONED LUMBERJACK; where the body reacts to the WEIGHT OF THE ARMS AND CLUB and pivots out of the way; that happens through the legs!

Dear Shawn, Your lessons are literally saving my joy in life. Last year, I got injured. Bulged disc, sciatica, leading to immobility, sarcopenia, and lots of pain. Long story short, I could hardly walk but I could play golf 🏌🏽‍♂️🚀. And the funny thing is, I’m playing better than ever. My hcp is 5.8 but I’m now regularly playing two or three over. By trying to apply your wisdom. I would like to thank you, Sav, and Mu for the inspiration. Playing golf from first principles in physics works for me. Thank you from Portugal. Erik

“Get out of the way…..get out of the way” is in my head all the way around the course ⛳️

I loved the "Walk like an Egyptian " analogy to make the point that our kinetic body is meant to move naturally, not stiff, mechanical & meeting certain body positions instructions. Perhaps you should have worn the King Tut costume from Steve Martin's infamous video to further entertain us mere mortals...

Shawn's golf swing has such beautiful and artistic tempo and rhythm. Great swing!

Listen to this man folks! This isn’t his opinion, this is facts and science, neuroscience, and kinetics. Shawn knows his stuff!

Thank you very much for the great comment Erin! 😀👍💪

😁Every time I think I have my favorite video, you post one of these... New Fave!!!

Shawn, I have watched your videos for a while now...tried what you where saying. I just couldn't connect UNTIL NOW THAT I SAW THIS VIDEO!!! Went out and tried this 1st time with 9 hole ladies league. Normal round 40 - 42....BUT HOLY SMOKE!!! Drives normally 200 yds. Par 4's are around 250 and I drove the greens!!! Just relaxing the arms and letting the legs start the swing....UNBELIEVABLE!!! PLUS I HAD A 37!!! NOT BAD FOR A 70 year old woman!!! Normal 8 iron is 120 yards and went 140!!! Dead straight without trying!!!! Your lessons are so simple to follow. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!! 😊

Dear Shawn, I have watched numerous golf lessons from you and I consider you to be the best instructor I have ever seen. Your dedication to transferring your skills to us is truly commendable. I believe the best way to show our appreciation for your efforts is to analyze, think, and practice what we are taught. Without our initiative, even the best teacher in the world cannot make us great players.Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge with us. I am committed to practicing and integrating your teachings into my own style. Sincerely, Andy Koh

Thanks for the refresher Sean! I quit watching golf video's for a while now, there's just so much content, and rabbit hole after rabbit hole. I started to get off track and this was exactly what I needed to get back on track. Glad you're doing well and still hard at teaching the effortless golf swing. Thanks!

Couldn't hit my new hybrids consistently at all, worked my dead arms yesterday and voila.

Wonderful analogy with standing on the swing and pumping the legs!! Unfortunately many of today's kids and young people have NEVER done that!! Found out that I couldn't do it very well now with70 year old knees without braces, but THEY WORKED and boy is this FUN!!! Thanks for some new life to my swing!!

We have awakened another gravity genius! 💪🫶😀👍Way to go Chris!

Hit my driver 280 yards on stroke 1 hole yesterday, split the fairway, using Shawn's swing, then hit a wedge 30 yards over the green - LOL. I'm trying to understand why his swing generates so much effortless power. I have a feeling the secret lies in WiG and Gravity Golf's approach which share a lot of secrets in common. Don't play golf sideways on, rotational power generates way more momentum. The hardest thing is to turn away from the ball and face behind you with your back facing the target.

Good problem to have! This can easily be controlled once you have that “letting go” feel that is turbo charged from the ground! The back to target is because the side vision is playing tricks on you; see “alignment reload” on our premium channel as well as “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” to keep using that nice dose of momentum to deliver through that ball and intermediate point with the sight of the arc-blur of club.

Throw or cut w the legs. Amazing stuff. Been throwing w the arms too often. Added some serious pop w this feel.

Hi. I’ve been seeing some videos on keeping the arms, especially the trail arm to the side or close to the side for better ball striking. When I let my arms leave my sides I seem to just sway😭😭

A lot of instructors say to bring your rear arm elbow into your side on the downswing. When I tried this I hit the ball weakly to the right or hit a toe shank. A drill I use is to put down two balls side by side maybe 1 and half inches apart. I set up to the inner ball and then try to hit the outer ball. This drill has helped me get more freedom in my swing and much better ball striking rather then the cramped up position with the elbow into side. What do you think?

See a simple task of throwing the club and film your swing once you have it down; (make sure you are in a safe area!) see “throw the club straight shawn clement” and you will see the right elbow does exactly what it should do BY IT’S OWN SELF because this is the natural part of how the body slings stuff at it’s food! To instruct someone to use the elbow is like showing a fish to swim…😝😝

Good video 👍🏼

It's tempting to try and control the club like a precision instrument. Swinging with large arcs and controlling the arcs is counter-intuitive at 1st, but makes so much more sense. Let your self swing on an arc, then align the ball, arc and target. Im learning the clement laws of golf haha. 1. stay on task 2. have an intermediate target 3. swing back and through, let go, release into your picture there's a lot of wisdom in these succinct phrases. taking the time to unpack them. love the content man!

Terrific video Shawn! I request more front facing swings and slow motion swings please...they are so helpful to further understand your explanation. I see why you insist on focusing the target and that seems to cause a full turn facing the target. Looks like hip and feet are open but shoulder is closed. Is that correct? Thanks!

Nice 👍🏻

I know it’s not the focus on the video but can you do one on picking the correct shaft flex please

@golflessons

Ай бұрын

When you throw the club, a shaft that is too heavy will feel difficult to throw and too light will feel flimsy; same for flex; when you throw the club towards the target without letting go (see my “throw the club straight shawn Clement” or my “throwing series” on our premium channel, you want to feel the shaft load and release in sync with your swing; too stiff and you will feel the need to strain to get it to load and too soft will feel like it’s lagging behind and you have to wait for it. You want it to match your body’s kinetic chain! See also “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” on our premium channel; when you whip those divots into the bushes, you want to feel what I just mentioned above.

We don’t walk like a hieroglyph.´. 😅Don’t swing like one. Great video Shawn.

I’ve tried your stuff before but I had low point issues. Trying it again now because I love the concept, but here’s what I don’t get. You bounce around with the demonstrations, but then your actual swing it’s hard to see much of that. For me, I actually do bounce around with my swing, so I’m clearly over exaggerating your feels, but I need help understanding how to tone it down. I wind up hitting everything fat or thin because there’s so much up and down.

The key is in the task! Stick to a task such as whipping grass clippings towards the target, of throwing the club towards the target through the intermediate point; on our premium channel you want to see the Task 2.0 series and choose a task you like and see “unstoppable momentum series” to use momentum to deliver that task; when you use momentum freely, the legs engage naturally at your own pace. Not your job to manage body parts!

something big I don't get. In your shot at 5:38, your entire body position says "hit behind the ball" yet you stripe it. Your sternum, rotation around your spine, everything, is lined up behind the ball. And whenever I try to swing the way you train, I cram the club into the ground way behind the ball. I've watched many of the vids, and I just don't understand how to hit the ball cleanly that way.

I have a fantastic oldie but goodie for you! See “delofting through proper tilt shawn clement”, “feel the braced tilt shawn clement” and “how to get behind the ball shawn clement” You need to feel that the low point is still going to be ahead of the ball at address; many overdo the set up away from the target to try and emulate this; you need to feel it!

The trick is to NOT THINK ABOUT THE LEGS; use the weight of the arms and club to deliver your task into the direction you want to start the ball! Stop the thinking and deliver to the target; see “throw the club straight shawn clement” an oldie but goodie.
