Shawn, you are the only prominent pro teaching the “heaving” motion. You absolutely raise your head - I don’t know of any tour players that do this. But sure enough that move works like magic for me. Thanks for keeping it real. I can’t bend like those pro’s.
Hey Greg! They finally arrived with this on tour in 2020 with Mark Blackburn who put out a video stating that if you wanted to use the ground better on the way down, you need to COME UP in the backswing! 😎😎 Been teaching that for only 15 years on youtube!!
hello Shawn, since I put the two strips on top of the driver I have to admit great success. The driver either flies straight or there is a small draw or a small fade. I can live with that. In addition, I now have 10% more distance without having changed anything. And yes I use the inner stripe for my setup and yes as a slicer I have a very strong grip. I've now tried it with my 3 wood. The 3 wood was in the cellar all year round, but now with the two stripes on it it has been used again. It flies off the ground as far as my driver off the tee. And the cord straight. Unbelievable what these two stripes do for my eye for my brain. Thanks very much from Germany
Fantastic! So happy this is giving you a more precise reference to better predict where the club will pass and have the ball in a more precise intersection! 👍😀
Shawn where can I find information about your clinics in CT? Would love to finally see you in person. Your teaching has made me enjoy golf more than ever!
We are booked solid for that gig; but you can come see Savy compete Saturday at 4:00 next week and Mu on Sunday at 8:00 AM! I will be in the stands cheering! 👍👍
Shawn, I have a Ping G410 Plus. Since there’s no logo on the crown and the face is round, how do I figure out the right place and direction to place the white tape on the crown? Thanks!
There are some nice turbulators on the top of the club right? Notice the configuration leads to the centre of the club? Very clever design! You could put 2 strips side by side between them and see if you can observe a nice blur there
Hi Mike, as i realized still hitting too often from the toe i noticed my stripes were not properly „centered“, so put a a golfball exactly centered on the sweet spot in front of the club. My wife fixed the club and i put new tapes on so that that ball now is in between the two lines, same with my 3 wood
you always have good information in your videos so I am hoping you could do a video on squaring your shoulder at setup as mine where not they where open not pointing toward my target and so had a giant slice
Shawn I had major epiphany this weekend. I always try and basically just Throw the club to target for every shot. I’ve learned if I pretend I only have to throw the club like maybe 40-50 yards In front of me I’m swinging much slower and ball is Jumping off clubs straight. Instead of pulling it all the time!
you should only really power on 2-3 feet behind the ball, when you coming back to hit that ball after reaching the top of your backswing. that is if you want to get more yards!
@@pmportella What you should be doing is feeling the peak speed PAST THE BALL TOWARDS THE TARGET, that way you will power at the right time WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT!! Kyle is on the right focus, do. Ot distract him from delivering his throw in the direction he wants to start the ball with when to turn on the power; that would be an unnecessary distraction from the task to the target. Micah is a good player, but he is trying to explain a feel instead of just delivering to the target with a task.
Good info but i played a windy links course today and a high ball is trouble unless its a tail wind, a fade turns into a slice with a side breeze straight into Marron grass (dead as a door nail). A low shot is very important. Have you done a Vid on hitting low drives?
Outstanding Work My new main Golf Man,today I shall become a premium member!!when I return from shooting stick at the BEA U T Ful local Stephen Argyle Northern MN Golf Course I shall check out your memberships! Thank you kindly for your awesome work also Mooo and you daughter Savskie,r awesome kids!( 40 miles from the border of OOOOOO Canada)
So if you’re hooking would trying to go more toward the heel slightly help the curvature or would it completely make it not predictable? I suffer from a massive hook. Hit a good fade though. My fade has always been get the outside of the ball and try cut across it. I’ve been carrying it 270 here lately but even playing a massive hook at times the ball goes further but it dies into the ground so quickly that I have no clue of the potential it has. I’m going to say I could carry 280-290 if I ever can get a good one off
From the literate I have read online, it seems the low spin drivers are for players with faster swing speeds. Would these drivers be suitable for a 14 hcp with a swing speed of 95-105?
I will put on display, for all to see, my complete idiocy! I thought the Taylor-made logo was a mistake☹ in production specific to my individual driver so I just ignored it and always placed my ball in exactly the position you demonstrate. Yea, I didn't know that! Thanks Shawn.
Hi Shawn I’m in my mid 50s and hit my 3 wood as far as my driver, what if any advise would you have for this scenario. Thanks for all the years you have dedicated to the game.
Hey Shawn new subscriber and I really enjoy the videos. Quick question on driver set up. I tend to sky the ball when I really try to swing hard and also fight a nasty hook. When I set up the driver should I have a closed face with a neutral grip and set up behind the ball and just swing away at it? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me ✌️
NEVER SWING HARD AT ANYTHING!! See “driver speed and smash shawn clement” and “most overlooked detail with Driver Shawn clement” and then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and follow that blue print to tweak club face for any club.
@@golflessons Hey Shawn thanks a lot for replying to me! I will check out those videos for sure. Just from watching a few of your videos yesterday I had the round of my life and have never made such great contact with the ball. As a 20 year hockey player I have finally found how to grip the club and set up properly thanks to you! Life changing! Thanks 🤙
By the Way Sir that is My Biggest Issue lining up on the , Great LessonMark and then swinging the Clubhead to the Inside causing Weak Drives or Toe Snanks , Thanks You !
Hi Shawn, what the key secret to you generating that much club head speed when you come to a complete stop at the top of you backswing? Is there one of your videos that you go into details on that? You don't see too many pros that pause for such a long period of time like you do but I'm 57 it seems to be a much easier swing pattern/flow to follow.
Our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com has amazing resources for this! We just completed a series for “long and Straight drives” and another power series is the “senior series”, the “throwing series”, the “unstoppable momentum series”, and the “kinetic chain facilitation series” ABSOLUTE GOLD!!
Starting at 95 to 100 MPH with driver; and it depends on the shaft brand! If it’s a 50 gram shaft, no problem; but if it's a 60 to 70 gram shaft with higher performance, it would be regular flex.
gear effect is caused by the spin imparted by the twisting. as the club twists open the ball spins the opposite way like two gears interacting. Hence the term gear effect
Interesting that the tape is legal. I took mine off for games , expecting that it would not be. It helps me find the centre of the club face more often
Shawn, in all your other videos it looks like you are practicing what you preach with the super strong grip and set up. In this video it looks like you are using a neutral grip??
Every day is slightly different; can also be the camera angle combined with that; the key is that I find my samw swing every day and send it into the direction I want to start the ball; observe the flight and make adjustments when I see a pattern that does not jive.
@@golflessons Many thanks! I have been watching your videos for years and never got it...recently though it finally clicked and I do get it and I have pretty much just stopped watching all other instructors. I'm sold on your method!
@@underworldevents265 good stuff! It is what happens when we are a bit too far ahead of our time; everyone is still searching for that perfect position or elusive secret while we are evolving leaps and bounds with our task based actions! 👍😀
I had an instructor who pointed out that you need to take into account that you are looking at where your driver sits from an angle. So when he sat behind me, the actual alignment of the logo on top of the driver head with the ball was different than what I thought it was looking down at an angle.
After watching you swing for so long I finally tried to copy your backswing……I physically can’t even come close to the position you get in your backswing. And although your results are amazing, I’ve yet to see a golf swing like yours, and that’s not meant to be a criticism.
Thank you Charles! That is the beauty of it; it’s mine! 😝 I find it every single day I go out there and hit career shots that amaze me. What you are trying is your version of Bubba’s Swing, Justin Thomas, Abraham Answer, Cameron Smith and Cameron Young, so many upright swingers out there!

Like Lee Trevino says, you can talk to a fade, but a hook won't listen! See the “power fade Shawn clement” video!
From the literate I have read online, it seems the low spin drivers are for players with faster swing speeds. Would these drivers be suitable for a 14 hcp with a swing speed of 95-105?
You bet! You are right in the pocket! High launch and low spin is the best! 😀👍👊👌

Me too Kevin. When you stand at address it's an optical illusion that makes us think we are lined up in sweet spot.
It's lessons like these that you give that also separates you from the crowd of other teachers.
Thank you Brother!! 👍😀🫶
I'm going to add tape to my driver before my next round. What is the spacing between the two pieces of tape on either side of the logo?
About a half inch on each side should be fine!

I hit a shot like the example at 3:10 about half the time.
Shawn, at what speeds should golfers look at using a stiffer club shaft than just regular?

Please rethink the back lighting presentations. Too dark to see to close ups of driver head

I am guilty of not setting my driver up on the sweet spot. I started using the tape.
Standing in a dark room wearing dark clothes with black driver heads is very hard for me to see what your talking about coach🤔
Living and learning! Listen to the info though, IT RUNS DEEPER THAN ANYTHING OUT HERE BY FAR!!
Total crap video. Golfers hit more towards the toe because the logo is closer to the heel? That makes sense.
