Right on Joey! Thank you for your comment! Remember we have an amazing website with all my life’s work at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com for just $9.95 a month to keep you sharp! 👍💪😀
Even before this video, I recently started making a baseball swing with my club as part of my pre-shot routine to get the free swing feeling. As a result, I have been hitting the ball extremely well. I utilize your concept of throwing the ball to a target and making each shot a "lay up" shot. I know for me, your teaching the swing as a task-oriented concept has been extremely helpful. As others have commented, when I revert on occasion to making the ball the target, bad things/swings happen. I recently shot a two over 72, admittedly on a short/easy course, but still a personal best of all time. Without your instruction, I doubt I would be where I am at now. My next goal is to get to a single digit index (10.1 currently). Thank you, Shawn and crew, for all you do. Cheers.
I've watched this a few times, but this was the first time that I really appreciated how focusing on the tee/ball changes the intersection. So much "gold" :-) Thanks again Shawn
Started playing 1 month ago...im 143lbs 28 years old 5"6. .. 1st week I was carrying 235 yards (But I did hit 1 random 258 carry one time and I had the ball in middle of my stance so I moved ball to front foot but then I couldn't hit over 70 yards... (kept topping it) Then I changed something, brought club higher, snapped in the middle and BAM, I outdrove all of my who are experienced golfers. They shoot around 85. (They were telling me I hit a 300 yarder!!!! Couldn't believe it and I don't know how it happened...) I still scored 10 strokes above them... and im still terrible. But im living off the high of hitting 300 yards in my first year golfing... Already got a birdie on my 8th round. Current record is 109 on 18 and 51 on a 9. Pretty pumped about it... Im about to buy 1000 dollar clubs now. Grew up playing baseball, hockey, and I workout rock-climbing and callistethics. Seems like golf is the only thing that can pry me off my computer instantly though. So happy I found golf. No matter the day or time, I can book a sim to go play if I ever need... Beautiful sport. The noobie gains are insane.
Congrats! You don't need $1000 clubs. You just need to learn course management. How to stay out of trouble and avoid big number holes. 85 is 13 bogies. I would suggest searching course management on youtube. And play with 3 piece golf balls. With your power and some course management you can get into the low 90s in a matter of months just by learning where to hit the ball.
Thats really impresive she's hitting it further than 90% of the male pga tour players. Acording to the stats Rory's average is 311 yards. She's going to be a super star if she ever goes on tour.
Every time I think about hitting the ball I screw up. I’ve trained my brain to never think about the ball in my swing and my strikes have improved so much. Every now and again I revert to thinking about the ball and my strike, again, screws up. So never think about hitting the ball only think about making a good swing. Cheers.
Get a task that will deliver the ball to the centre of the face; use the sole of the club to send grass clippings to the target; ball will meet face; make sure the ball is centre stance! If you make some practice swings sending grass clippings to the target, you will see that when you succeed, the grass always starts getting cut from the middle forward…
Shawn great lesson as always.Just wanted your opinion on counterweight on driver and irons.Will you really have more club head speed and hit it farther.Thank You.
Watched over 100 of your RUclips videos, subscribed the premium, this didn’t hit till now. Throwing the club, sledge hammer, hammer through doorway, casting the fishing pole, waggle, etc… I lined up to my “target” which in my mind was the hole or the flag where I wanted the ball to land. Comically enough, closing my eyes and feeling the release on the trajectory or the line to my intended landing changed everything for me. Not just “out there”, but a very specific point in front of me. At least with drives, maybe it feels a bit different with a chip shot or approach.
no on the comments below; please see “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” and “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” and “why your swing is underpowered shawn clement”
FIrst of all...Savannah is all grown up and FWINE ah!!! 2nd...Shawn...your instruction is top notch...you would change the game if you were stationed in Florida. Thanks again for yet ANOTHER gem.
Another interesting thing.... when Moo is swinging the club upside down, he does not keep his lead arm straight but allows it to bend on the backswing. I actually saw one golf instructor who radically claimed that if you let the lead arm bend on the backswing, it kinetically creates another joint for added power on the downswing. The idea that straightening and snapping a bent lead arm would add power. What do you think of this theoretically? Oh and by the way... on another video you showed Moo in slow motion and it said "Slow Mo"... I'm suggesting it should have said "Slow Moo".... sorry, had to do that.... couldn't resist... .
It really is amazing the stuff we have heard over the years in this game to “make sure” and “be careful” or else…What matters is that we stick to a task and let the body respond to the task and the brain’s mission is the path of least resistance when you let it; then allow things to evolve!
I was on a launch monitor swinging around a 106 -108 mph 2300 spin ,good smash,launch 155 mph ball speed..only carrying 255 mph..how is it she gets 265 with 142? Something is inconsistent with some of these monitors
The last little thing I'm working on is flippy wrists at impact. I hit the ball well realsung to the target with the whoosh past the ball but consistency changes too much. I don't feel like i have a good release.

Hi Shawn .. I think I’m a bit backwards with my setup. I feel like when I move the machine in, I’m bunched up.. so I move back a bit and then go to the target.. causing a lot of toe contact. I think the “bunched” up feeling I have after observing the blur and moving into the ball is my brain telling me there’s something in the way…
THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING READY TO HIT THE BALL VS GETTING READY TO SWING THROUGH THE BALL AND INTO THE FLIGHT PLAN!! Get on our premium channel and get cracking with a task (see all the task videos and all the release videos and then the “goldie locks series” and finally “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball series” have you seen how close John Rahm is to the ball, because he is getting ready to collect the ball from where it lies and then release the ball into the direction he wants it to go. If he was getting ready to hit AT THE BALL, he would be much farther away from it so he could extend at it. EARLY EXTENSION IS YOU TRYING TO HIT THE BALL!
They are both Ranked in World Long Drive! Savannah Meyer Clement finished #10 in the world this year, made it all the way down to #7! And Munashe Masawi came all the way down to #43 in the world with one event made the top 16! Which is big league for sure!
Hi Shawn. I was watching one of your videos and thought I heard you mention an affiliate instruction in Orlando. I am here for a week Can you recommend that affiliate instructor to me. Thank you.
Sorry I missed you Charles! What part of the country are you in and also, do you have a hitting area with a good internet connection? I have a super online program to help get you to that next level and then some at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com
Question for you Shawn. I am 5'8" tall. My friend is 6'4" tall with long arms. Theoretically if we both swing exactly the same, with his long arc how much further should he be able to drive the ball past me? Just a theoretical question.
A lot more involved in that; compare Mu to me! He is 80 to 100 yards past me now and yes, his arms are way longer than mine but he also has more muscle and more explosive fast twitch muscle fibres. One could have a complete kinetic chain and one not and that would be 30 to 50 yards longer…longer arms are 1/100 of the equation…😝
Both products are great; Callaway does not cater to long drive the same way Cobra does and Cobra now has the best blades I have ever felt and I am back baby! Company culture is very different too; we are now official teachers with Cobra Golf USA, something Callaway was supposed to get done but everything got lost in the Pandemic.
I look forward to these enjoyable you-can-do-it lessons. Stronger grip and free-wheeling is just fun--even if it doesn't go 300--it does go longer and in the right direction. Shawn, can these kids putt? ;>) Thanks!
If our target is out there, why do we face the ball head on? Doesn't it make more sense to have at least a slight open stance with feet to make it easier for the arms to swing freely towards the target?
Golf instruction is so weird I'm told keep my lead arm straight and bend slightly my trail arm ....this guys lead arm is all bent at top of swing ..I'm confused?
Body part positioning will always end up bad; you are already “Pinocchio without the strings” man! You just need the right task and all the body parts will fall in place at once! See an oldie but goodie called “throw the club straight shawn clement” and a nice task is “grass whip training shawn clement” FREE YOURSELF!!
Most baseball players have excellent hand eye coordination, but they have a hard time transitioning to golf because they don't recognize that the bat in golf is the club head (Heel to Toe) and not the shaft!!!
Send them to us! We use baseball analogies all the time! The first video in our “consistency series” on our premium channel explains exactly this! Wisdom in golf premium.com
Wrong.... you CAN OPEN club face to stop hook (temporarily).....IF you choke down on shaft an inch or 2.....yup....done it a thousand times to hit low cut.....I don't ever try to FIX MY SWING mid-round (that is the insane thing to do)......
Sorry. The baseball swing is not what should be adopted for the golf swing. The baseball swing has changed from 20 years ago. The golf is now totally different.
baseball has gone through the same rabbit holes of positional thinking; who is to say if it should have changed? HUMAN MOVEMENT PATTERNS ARE ALL BASED THE SAME; from the ground up, they are reflex actions that are pure self preserving. 1000 + years ago, you needed to swing axes, slash swords, throw stuff at your food; all with this kinetic chain. Same goes for golf, tennis, hockey, baseball-this is why we love sports!
I do not want to be critical. That said. If you make a mistake doing these drills holding the opposite end of the club. You may hit the ground and you will be holding the head of the club, and the shaft will be flying down range. NEW SHAFT REPAIR! VERY EXPENSIVE! It happened to me. Not hard to do. Be careful please.
Wow thanks so much for the baseball swing concept,20 years playing golf, Im finally having fun, I'm killing it, thanks so much

Very good! Nice realization! It will be similar with approaches and pitch shots; chips don’t release the second pendulum.
Both the baseball bat & the upside down club are round (no face); how do you incorporate face awareness to keep from spraying all over the park?
Pronate (bow) your lead wrist as you enter the strike.

Your lead foot pushes your weight back during the baseball swing
With a baseball swing your lead foot braces as you transfer weight/energy forward and effectively pivot around your lead leg. Same with golf.
Nice response! 😀👍👌
Her drive carry makes me feel very inadequate as a man. ):
Me too. But the lesson is that it's not about strength.

I have always been a longer than average player throughout my career; she is as long as me now and often outdrives me from the back tee at 6900 yards!

You weren't kidding about a batter not snapping and breaking their wrist. Mike Trout broke the hamate bone in his leading left wrist, recently. Boooo
