Hey Shawn & Sav, I can’t tell you how much this video has helped me feel more positive about golf in general Im living proof of the golfer with a natural strong grip from the beginning that’s spent several pounds £££ (I’m from the U.K.!) on golf lessons to be told I need to change my grip to neutral to improve. I’ve also always preferred to be set up with the hands slightly higher too and this video is helping me understand why I’ve always liked that feeling with the strong grip I’ve recently fell down the rabbit hole of trying to execute mo’s ‘single plane’ swing to no avail. The explanation you gave on how it lines up with right forearm and that it’s a bit of an optical illusion has given me much more confidence that I can improve at this wonderful game we play! I’m still on the search path to be able control my ball flight but this video has given me the belief I can get there with my makeup Thanks for the content, it really helps! Off to watch the video again!
Right on Matthew! Stay right here; we will get you where you need to go together! The human machine is incredible and all it needs is to be listened to and worked in harmony with to deliver target bound actions through the ball and intermediate point. Make sure you see “pulling shots left shawn clement” as your essentials!
Man, my wife will ask me if my head will fit through the door this evening! 😝😝 Much appreciate the kind words and so happy the info is helping and resonating with you!👌👊
I was one of the ones who started hooking everything after using a strong grip. I resisted the urge to go back to a neutral grip even though my irons were missing all the greens! I noticed in older videos that Sav was raising her hands at the beginning of her takeaway so I tried it and it was amazing! My irons went higher and straighter plus I was hitting crisper shots and the sound at impact was beautiful. I thought that maybe I shouldn't be doing this because it looks a bit strange but the results were so good I have kept doing it. Thanks for addressing this in this video.
Tune in @worldlongdrive at 12pm EST to watch Savannah compete against some of the best ladies on the World Long Drive circuit at the Hobe Long Drive Event! 😃⛳🏌🏻♂🚀🚀
I did tune in and was able to see some a Savs shots. Of all the competitors I saw Sav had the smoothest swing. Many of the competitors who were leading the contest looked like they were headed for long term back problems.
@@thomasmccauley9607 thank you Thomas! And yes; Sav and Mu have that reputation out there as being the smoothest; they were also deprived of being able to get data from their shots as the organizers did not have the launch monitors available for the lefties and they were not able to use their GC Quads; we were very upset and that put both of them at a clear disadvantage and they both missed getting through by a thin margin of 50 points. They promised it would be the last time…
I've been watching your videos for years now. This one was of extra interest to me but I failed to follow what the differences were. it may just be me and I may need to just watch it again. Thanks as always for helping out us regular guys.
A great time to head to our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see the “wisdom in golf 2.0 series” we just posted and then take advantage of our swing analysis included in the PAR program at just $9.95 per month so I can point you to the videos that will take you to your next level!
Yes, was playing another inconsistent round of golf when on the back nine tee box, I remembered the swing thought of hammering the nail and slightly rotated my grip to slightly stronger. Hit a Bomb! Outdrove my buddies by 50 yds! Picturing Sav’s effortless swing is the key. Thanks!
“This is strong and snappy” past two time I have been out , I have all of a sudden been hit with a hook which cost me the first few holes of each round. I have been setting up incorrectly exactly like you mentioned at 6:40 . Great video as always
I usesd a strong grip years ago that an instructor taught me but gave up on it after I started hooking everything . I think he taught me a similar setup but I forgot it due to lack of playing ( but I remember smoking drives 300 yards wlhen it did work). I’m going to try this setup and hopefully recapture some of that distance I’ve lost over the years.😊
If you hook it, see about your strain level and if you feel that you are using too much effort, this will wreak havoc with timing and hook it; and it will cause an early release which hooks even more! See “ridiculously easy shawn clement” an oldie but goodie and ll the effortless power videos we have! Then when you are ready, get with our premium channel!
Hi Shawn, hope everybody is well. I would appreciate a new Video about the foot work during the swing. I think it is important to emphasize what the feet and legs do during the hitting moment. I think you promote that they stay flat on the ground? If I lift the trail foot too early I hit shanks. Thank you!
Great lesson, can’t wait to try it out. So you are just raising your hands up a little bit at address? Would you recommend hovering the club just a bit as well?
You can yes! As the legs are the buffer zone that bring you down and through the grass as you deliver your grass clippings to target; also important video is “how to match backswing to target shawn clement”
So you mentioned using a 44 inch driver … once we’re into the 105-110 mph swing speed is having that extra 1-2 inches on the driver not necessary for more distance and dispersion or is it just for more accuracy without much loss of distance just curious.
That is why the GC Quad is so cool; realized my speed was best on the 3 wood and did not get any extra with the driver in my stock swing; so chop chop and now more fairways and same distance.
In both swings (tennis and golf) the trail wrist is in extension, lead wrist in golf flexed. To achieve this position, using the ‘motor cycle’ move, encourages the wrists to droop into radial deviation at contact. Is Savannah just doing this at the outset, or have I misinterpreted? Hope Sav does well in the LD.
Before or after, it does not matter; just feel that when you whip the club in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball will do what you want in the air! See “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement”
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately over the past several years I've gone from having a slice to more of a draw/hook. I'm happy with the draw but not when the ball goes 27 yards offline. So I'm going to give this a whirl in my simulator this evening.
My swing speed is only about 85mph. 62 years old. Pretty flexible, make a decent turn. What is your opinion on The One Club training aid to develop speed?
Sav has really evolved! Interesting that you (or Nancy Lopez’s coach back in the day) resisted changing their swings. That long driver shaft must really flex, would be interesting to see it in super slow motion:) That said, what is your feeling about shaft flex at impact in relation to heel toe? In other words should the toe be raised slightly at address (for all clubs) to compensate for shaft flex at impact where a flattening of the sole of the club occurs?
With the driver and fairway woods, it makes less difference as the sole is rounded from toe to heel and flatter from face to back. The toe will droop and another plus is that the lower the loft, the less it affects the initial direction.
Tell you what...I took lessons for 2 years from the same instructor, traditional grip etc etc. Couldn't stop slicing the ball...went to a strong grip ala Clement and started smashing it, baby draw, picked up 3 club lengths....everyone was pointing out my strong grip and slightly closed club face...until I kept bombing it past em and beating them consistently. I'll take "wierd" (which I don't agree with you anyways) like Mr. Clement's swing any day. Also, I putt with one hand, and it drives people crazy. 😂
You bet Jack! To our eyes, this is the most beautiful swing because of the insane functionality and the complete harmony with human anatomy; we were made to swing like this and not to keep fighting the grain just to look like the rest of the crowd; do you have any idea how many students show up at my door saying “I am sick of everyone telling me my swing looks good when I know something does not feel right!
You two have vastly different techniques. You have minimal shoulder turn and are bludgeoning the ball with the right arm hammer method ( Hitting Method as The Golfing Machine calls it..aka Axe Handle technique) where as she is using a pure swinging method with a massive shoulder turn, club past parallel, hands reaching for the sky, then unwinds and just freewheels through impact. No right arm hammering. Just a pure kinematic sequence with passive arms and hands. She wraps that club around her neck at the finish. You stop way short of that. You are a hitter. She is a pure swinger. 2 vastly different methods with actions that are not interchangeable. She is obviously more flexible than you so it makes sense that she is using the swinging method. You lack flexibility but have greater strength, so the hitting method is more suitable.
A year or so ago I started utilizing a very small tweak to the very start of my back swing (Thank you @PaulWilsonGolf) where I emulate a slight dragging motion, almost as though the club is too heavy. This was intended to keep my arms relaxed, and it did(!!). I see this particular video and the lightbulb went off, my little drag also raised my hands slightly, which provided amazing results. I now know why... and it does 2 things for me, it relaxes my arms and also puts the shaft in an ideal location for my body motion. 🤌

That’s awesome Shawn, I wonder if the same “one hammer plane” approach applies to irons?
of course!
Hi Shawn, hope everybody is well. I would appreciate a new Video about the foot work during the swing. I think it is important to emphasize what the feet and legs do during the hitting moment. I think you promote that they stay flat on the ground?

Lets see what we can learn today. Thanks !

You can yes! As the legs are the buffer zone that bring you down and through the grass as you deliver your grass clippings to target; also important video is “how to match backswing to target shawn clement”
Great stuff, and good luck Sav.
Juli Inkster also had this move. Played with her once and she was incredible, straight and long!
That must have been a treat! 😀👍
Loved this one. Can’t wait to try this. Does this also apply to shorter irons and wedge shots?
You bet it works on all clubs;
Do you do the Nancy Lopez move on grass also?
So you mentioned using a 44 inch driver … once we’re into the 105-110 mph swing speed is having that extra 1-2 inches on the driver not necessary for more distance and dispersion or is it just for more accuracy without much loss of distance just curious.

Interesting was doing a drill with a tennis raquet and realised how that position is basically a forehand position in tennis
very good! 👍We use tennis all the time; same for baseball swing!
In both swings (tennis and golf) the trail wrist is in extension, lead wrist in golf flexed. To achieve this position, using the ‘motor cycle’ move, encourages the wrists to droop into radial deviation at contact. Is Savannah just doing this at the outset, or have I misinterpreted?
Hope Sav does well in the LD.
So is the club face closed before the brace and tilt?
Before or after, it does not matter; just feel that when you whip the club in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball will do what you want in the air! See “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement”
Long time baseball player turning to golf at 53. Just trying to get my feels to correlate into the golf swing.

BOTH!!
@@golflessons what is she using for speed training? Do you sell it on your website?
Sav, I must confess I lost the links you sent me yesterday. Could you please resend?
When I hook it with my strong grip and closes face it’s because my focus left the target
Shawn, you have one really weird swing, club is up over your head, miles away from the plane but hey, it works….
I agree...can't watch him swing but I admire his daughters swing... good luck to both of you.
