Is your swing stuck in the downswing causing you to hit hooks and pushes? This video will show you how to prevent the club from coming from too far behind you and straighten out your ball flight.

A big shout out from Down Under! Last night my 10yo son Will and I enjoyed this vid and we took your wisdom to the Sat comp this morning - still being able to play, thankfully. It was great for both of us to be 'tuned up' by your sageliness before our game and we enjoyed better, more consistent ball striking. Many thanks again Shawn and please take care! Cheers from a very windy Sydney, Aust - Dave and Will
Really excellent Shawn. Thanks for sharing these superb videos. What is a tremendous bonus for viewers is using the Trackman (?) and screen so the viewer is not struggling to see the flight etc of the ball! Thanks again. Regards. Ian
I've been practising exactly this, for the last 3 weeks. My spray angle has reduce a lot. A real lot!
However, when I start to become a little fatigued, the hooks and push fades become more common again, because I feel the need to put in more effort, to hit the ball as far as when I was feeling fresh.
The other big improvement to my ball flight is thanks to your older videos, regarding posture, where you mentioned the feeling of some of your students feeling way too low. I found that if i stand too tall at address, the club goes too low and around in the back swing.
Right on Barney! Here is a nice present for you for 2018 since you are working so hard; this is going into my book once the dust settles as to our new venture this year which is super exciting:
1-pick an "end target" or a place you want to have the ball end up
2-pick a flight plan that fits your ability to get the ball there
3-find an intermediate point that will set you up into that picture-so that when you let the weight of the club release you to the target, you can predict that the ball position, the distance to the ball, the posture, and the grip-club face relationship will fit the flight when you let the club track itself into the direction you want to start the ball.

4-set up done? Prediction of shot done? It is now OUT of YOUR CONTROL, just give control to gravity and let the weight of the ACU release itself in the direction you want to start the ball. Look for the feel of that low effort and nice whipping velocity that unleashes that ball into that flight with freedom and abandon!
5-DID YOU LET IT? DID you stay with the feel of that release to that direction? Or did you get distracted by "making sure" of a position or something else making noise around you?
If you stayed with it: how was the direction? how was the contact? How was the balance? How was the strain level?
If you did not stay with it, something short circuited you and you were trying to do something else; what was that you were trying? What were your concerns?
6-The most important stat in golf is how many times (there are average 36 full swings on the golf course) were you able to stay with your shot all the way to the finish? Can You CONFIRM WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT YOU felt the release of the club in the direction you wanted to start the ball?
Happy New Year Shawn.... If there was ever a need to produce a Universal Pre/Swing thought "Staying with your intermediate point" should be a top contender. After using this for years It's the key stat I look at when reviewing my rounds. I was using a shot tracker for quite a while and seeing all the different variables it still came down to 1 thing.
Why was that particular part of my game weak on that day? But if you ask yourself after each shot "Did I stay with my intermediate point?" You soon start to see a correlation between the number of "yes's" and the score.
Excellent as always Shawn!! Loving the use of the GC Quad in your videos, it really allows us to see the wisdom with data backing it up!😀😀
It's been fun observing your excitement as you've impressed the fellas at TXG with your golf skills and performance! How do you separate Effort and Speed? To me they seem like the same thing.
You would think because your brain associates power to effort; matt and I did a great video together at TXG and here it is:ruclips.net/video/zJbRpFu-lxs/видео.html
This is great Shawn. So there are two aspects of more accurate shots: (1) where you start the ball and (2) how you shape the shot. Looking at the results of the ball flights - would you say the more important aspect is where you start the ball?
Yes, very good!
Great video as always, What club are you using?
It really depends, sometimes you need a bigger fade, or a bigger draw, then you need to aim your feet either more open or closed to the target line and swing more along the line of your feet (stance). I just don't know if the right edge left edge method will work well if one needs to make a really big fade around a tree to a pin tucked way to the right, for a right handed player. I just do this all by "feel" play around with it on the range; it is fun to mess around with my feet well left of target and hit some really huge fades. Or less of a fade using the method you see here.
I like how you’re not too far one way or the other. I feel if you slice conventional teaching is to hit a hook, and vice versa. You’re intermediate point is inline with ball and target so you don’t have to worry about the ball. But you’re slightly one way or the other of that point. To fix the slice I done conventional teaching and it had me then push slice, or a snap hook. Which at that point I’d rather just played what I knew
see “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement”
So the clubface behind ball is always lined up directly at the target, and then you adjust where your swing-path is gonna be (right edge of intermediate point for draw)?
The video you want to see for this is the “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” and also see “hit a honkin draw to hit straight shawn clement”
ALways enjoy your stuff Shawn..All the best for 2018
This freaked me the hell out when watching. I am having this exact same issue where he discusses too much firing of the hip and arms collapsing into the body causing a severe hook. i have been watching everything trying to figure it out and my name is Matt. So, when he said the nameMatt, I wigged out. It was like he was talking directly to me. Shawn is like a genie.... I guess he had another Matt he was working with but I think he figured out what i am doing wrong. I have been trying to produce too much power with my lower body movement. My power has way increased but now i am super hooking 75% of my swings. i will try to work on not generating tooooo much lower hip to my left side.
I think what you are talking about at the 7 minute mark is why my arms were collapsing during our lesson. That causes my big hook on my bad shots. My golf buddy tells me my back-swing starts getting flat when my hooks show up. That has to come from trying to hit the ball too hard and making the ball my target.
Very good! Too much strain usually ends up in a collapse of width; see “no more collapsing arms shawn clement” and “stop letting go of the club shawn clement”
Straight fade...lol. I've been getting too laid off due to firing a bit too aggressively. I'm hitting it far but pushing it as I've also been smashing an impact bag 100 x's a day. That's slowed my rotation down a little which isn't helping. Still shooting under 80 but it could be better with a bit more practice.
Nice helpful content.
Thanks Rod! Happy New Year to you and your clan!
Shawn
Okay for the draw, am I right or wrong here: You aimed the club face at the flag, but you aimed your feet slightly right of the flag, and you swung out to the right, or along the path of your feet? Right? No?
Lol! Lots of ways to skin that cat but the best way, and this is what I do here, is in this video: ruclips.net/video/NnWbQwrkB84/видео.html
Great video... Thx
What do u mean with right edge?
Right edge of the white marker in front of the ball
Not the left
Shawn, can you do a practice swing next to the ball?
