I have a couple of ideas for new videos: (1) What are some tips for keeping the picture of the task in your mind’s eye when you are set up over the ball and not looking at the target? (2) Does the extent in which one opens (for a fade) or closes (draw) change as you go from wedges to mid-irons to long irons?
Hey Jim! We have the answers to this in spades on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and the title of the videos there are “target confirmation series” and “pre-motor cortex series” and the “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning” video are top freaking notch!
There are many nuggets of wisdom in this video. A formidable case for the argument of heel up vs heel down in the backswing; I hope you all enjoy and have the chance to try very soon for yourself! Shawn
Hi Shawn, I am again starting to lift my heel in the back swing for a still better turn. My head wants to move a bit going into the full turn. Alongwith the head, the eyes also.
Every time I have a thought you have a video on it. Squat move. If I lift the heel I can’t get it. I’ve went from 25+ handicap to my new pr of 6.8 just watching your videos there’s still more there but now I’m watching the videos for confirmation more than learning
Getting this right, was amazed. Par 3 140 usually a pw and was spray and pray full out. I hit an entire grocery bag of shag balls because it clicked and I was hitting a pw 160 into the water behind the green. No one was on course so I just kept doing it. Now what used to feel like a 3/4 swing I’m hitting green with pw at about 135-145 carry but I feel like I can control it just by going and getting the ground. Started carrying driver 290 have gotten up to 327 but I still have the early extension from time to time that’s still messing up my handicap only get it when I don’t focus and lift and slam the heel comes back
Early extension is NOT a defect in the swing; it is a lapse in focus where you lost the direction you were supposed to send the task into! STAY WITH THE SHOT AND TARGET!
I'll add here that if you have a dodgy lead knee, that heel off the ground really helps a lot. I simply can't rotate my lead knee it to facilitate a full back swing as a result of a few bad sporting injuries and subsequent knee operations. Once the heel left the ground, it was all good 👌🏻 Thanks Shawn, great vid!
Clear and powerful as always, great video again Shawn! I wonder, no matter you lift your hill or not, if there is a slight lateral movement during the backswing?
To understand this better, see an oldie but goodie called “best downswing weightshift shawn clement” and “best way to shift weight in the golf swing take a walk shawn clement”
I find myself in a quandary. I like the idea of lifting the heel but it has to happens consciously, in my case. I am not able to make it seamless/so automatic(or whatever:)) where my focus of going to target does not get affected.
From Mu's hole in one to Savy's beautiful pivot and Shawn's analytical descriptions this video is a masterpiece. Matt Wolf has the best lower body pivot ever. That unique across the line position at the top is a direct result of him maxing out that right wrist pronation at the top. No wonder he hits the ball a country mile and is very accurate. If you study Matt's swing you will notice he lifts that left heel off the ground big time and yes he squats as good as Snead. In my opinion these moves are undoubtedly the reason he is a pga tour winner. The only question which remains is will he get rich ,fat and lazy or will he push forward with determination and drive to be one of the best. Dunno ? Something about old dogs yep I love Reese too. :)
So you do want to be taller at the top of the backswing then at address. That axe drill was monumental for this feel. I can actually feel the weight of the club when I come up and then engage the ground coming down to the target!
Dude!! I just emailed you about this. Haha. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I guess my question now is: If Mu carries his 8i at 170+ HEEL DOWN, will his carry go further if he goes HEEL UP? The reason I ask is because I want to get more juice out of my driver.
Mu is enjoying his own evolution in the game right now and getting way more consistent as a ball striker and enjoying some nice power and compression; we need to allow him to EVOLVE with his task and let his own brain and body figure it out at 40 million bits per second. As for you, do you feel you are getting a velocity of at least 7/10 with driver at an effort level that is lower than 5 out of 10? Meaning you could swing like that all day and not get hurt and get up the next morning and do it again?
Really enjoy your methods Shawn; I'm hoping to gain more consistency from this, if I can mange to play right handed as you do left handed then I will one happy man.
At the beginning you seem to suggest that it’s easier for Mu to keep his lead heel down because he’s trail arm dominant. Does that mean it’s harder to do so if you’re lead arm dominant? Should someone that is a backhander lean then towards lifting the lead heel? Thanks!
Downward strikes come naturally when you deliver to the target! See an oldie but goodie of mine called “delofting through proper tilt shawn clement”; it will open your eyes big time!!
Who's body held up better? I'll take Jack's swing and play into my 80's & 90's insread of all the surgeries, cutting years of near peak performance and playing pain free throughout my golfing life. This question was a layup.
Hi Shawn, I was taught to grip the club when the hands are in a position of letting the arms hang naturally when in golf posture. I notice your students here have extremely strong grips. Is this what you recommend? How do they not hit a huge hook with a full release?
Well, that is because we are collecting the ball from where is sits and we are delivering the ball to the direction we want to send it! Deep release THROUGH THE BALL. Neutral grips tend to release AT THE BALL. See “through the ball shawn clement”
YOU ARE NOT DEFECTIVE AND CAN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG!! Just focus on a task that will deliver these “body parts” properly. See “throw the club straight shawn clement” as an example!
I don't know because I can't ask them. I was genuinely asking what the reason is for her choosing to use such a strong grip. There must be a beneficial reason which I was trying to learn from. Could you please answer? Thank you.
@@BAA3595 of course, you bet! Please see “most important video on grip ever shawn clement” and “30 more yards with this grip shawn clement” and add “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” just to name a few! 😀👍
Hi Shawn I`m a long time fan from the U.K much appreciate your videos.Can I make an observation? Your saying `whip the snot` makes me cringe, as `snot` is a slang term for mucus over here in the UK. Keep up the good work.

Do not let the eyes go! They stay so that you never loose sight of the intermediate point to keep your arc-blur in place!

@@golflessons I will have to figure that one out. Usually my back feels pretty sore/stiff the day after a round.

If it helps you whip the snot out of it easily, yes! 😝😀👍
Loving the videos Shawn keep them coming 👍🏾 Congarts Munashe great shot 👏🏾👏🏾
They both have a lot of shaft lean at address with a shut looking club face. Is this to help with a downward strike?
Downward strikes come naturally when you deliver to the target! See an oldie but goodie of mine called “delofting through proper tilt shawn clement”; it will open your eyes big time!!
You mentioned trail hand dominant as a left handed person who plays righty how does hand dominance affect the swing?
Have a look at my “lead hand dominant shawn clement” video; the feel is very different from “forehand” to ‘backhand”
It's a curse!
So the squat should feel like you are squatting more into the lead side on the down swing correct?
Yes, Correct!
Who's body held up better? I'll take Jack's swing and play into my 80's & 90's insread of all the surgeries, cutting years of near peak performance and playing pain free throughout my golfing life. This question was a layup.
😝😝Exactly!! No strain, no struggle, plenty of power provided my our natural KINETIC CHAIN. 💪👍😎
I think I'll do what the best ever did... lift my left heel.... thanks Jack!

Sean if my right handed swing was as good as your left handed swing I wud be a happy man lol!
You are right! I am very happy with both my swings! 😀👍
she has such a strong grip, nice
Heel up but still go get the ground if you do, don’t do it and extend the leg too quickly that’s the problem
YOU ARE NOT DEFECTIVE AND CAN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG!! Just focus on a task that will deliver these “body parts” properly. See “throw the club straight shawn clement” as an example!
Wish Moo would hold for a moment at the end of the back swing
Heel down can be a recipe for lead knee issues as you get older.
Why is her grip so strong?
Why is Paul Azinger’s and Zack Johnson and Brendan Steel and Ted Tryba and Jim Nelson and Jerry Herd and 25% of the tour super strong?
I don't know because I can't ask them. I was genuinely asking what the reason is for her choosing to use such a strong grip. There must be a beneficial reason which I was trying to learn from. Could you please answer? Thank you.
