I have to say on how to hit any club and any shot shape. Having done some personal one on ones with Shawn I’ve never hit the ball cleaner in my life than during and ever since my first (3) day lesson followed by a few group meets the following 3-5 yrs. When your 7I goes from a 165 club to a 190 club and stays that way consistently since that first lesson. there is nothing more satisfying to me when playing other than feeling like I’m cutting into butter when striking the irons. Now I just need to convince him that NC is a great state and he should get back down here for a couple days. Need his boy to keep riding BMX and compete down here again.
Great instruction on grip and how the club face moves through the swing at impact. Savannah is sending it out there, but move is in a different stratosphere. Well done to both. Cheers
This video is so easy to understand. The slow-mos really helped me see what was going on. Cant wait to hit the range and watch this video again. Thanks!
You guys have permanently changed my game for the better, went to the range yesterday and I have never hit drives so straight and long. Strong grip is the way to go with my driver for sure. Thank you.
@golflessons I watched the slow mo several times but am having trouble understanding how the forward weight transfer is happening when you're leaning back to hit up on the ball? Or is the weight transfer/ shaft lean for compression, only a method for hitting the irons?
@@allboutthemojo keeping the right arm tucked really helps a lot. I actually tee my ball a little higher and line it up with my big toe when I hit driver.
Shawn, I just want to really thank you. This is just the latest video that has saved my golf game and swing. I struggled really bad under plane, chasing lag, changing grip to neutral, and basically doing all the things that didn’t get me to a good golfer. I found your teachings through Golf WRX and the throw the club feel REALLY clicked for me. Now I just feel heave it back, heave it through and get out of the way when I golf. That feel with your grip explanations got me back swinging so free and the ball is jumping off my club at my task. Thank you so much. You and the team are absolutely the best.
Great video Shawn. At age 77 I can still play a decent game most of the time, but today I was hitting big push-fade blocks with the driver. I came home and found this video, and sure enough, my grip wasn’t nearly strong enough at setup. The grip is something I have to constantly monitor or it will gradually weaken. I like your method of starting the setup with a neutral grip and a very closed club face. I forgot to do that today, but it won’t happen again…at least for awhile. Thanks for the reminder! 👍
If the ball hooks, ask first what your focus was before you weaken it! If your focus was to hit the ball, then you will release early and close the face at the ball causing the hook; if you send the tip of the tee in the direction you want to start the ball with ease and velocity with peak speed well past the ball, then you get the right observation for how to tweak the face.
I’m so glad I found you, I have had so many people tell me my grip was too strong and club too closed. I tried to be neutral but massive slices, now I ignore them because my instincts and body were right
A bit late to the party with the strong grip, 20 handicap atm, been struggling with my driver slicing and long irons with contact. Searching grip videos and stumbled across your video and the concept makes so much sense. Took it to the range tonight and wow didn't slice, my drives were consistent distance 230-240 carry, had good control could hit dead straight or draw it in with a slight rotation of body. My long irons are very poor but with the strong grip the compressed shots i was able to achieve and distance was unbelievable. Early days for me but if i can take this to the course it will change my game. Thank you for the clear explanation. Keep up the good work. James from UK.👍🏻
Grip-Driver relationship both static and dynamic. First driver lesson you ever gave me 7 years ago. So much fun not to fight the natural forces of alignment and action. Merci beaucoup.
I’m always amazed at how cupped Shawn’s lead wrist is and still hits bombs down the middle. I’ve had so many instructors who lose their mind over cupped lead wrists.
Too much of this is still going on; we just unleashed our winter students out into the freshly opened golf courses and outdoor ranges and whoa; amazing barrage of happy faces right now! 😀👍💪👍👌
You are the best of the best when it comes to the golf grip! I have been using these technique for the past 2 years or so with both my woods and irons and my compression (and ball speed) has increased significantly!! Thanks Coach, Sav, and Big Mu!!! 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏🙏🙏💯💯
I copy Sav's swing because it's the only way for me to hit the ball with an ideal face. My friends were surprised yesterday because I'm hitting further in the winter than in the summer, and I'm doing it perfectly straight or with a slight fade. 100mph Club Headspeed, 220 meter carry, I'm very satisfied. Thanks
I see a lot of forward shaft lean… the problem is… I am swinging with 5° driver… I think because the loft is already low… it’s preventing launch. How can I correct this, while using your technique here?
The shaft lean at address does not mean anything; our AOA’s are at +10 and launch angles are between 17 and 20 degrees…Mu could use a 2.5 degree driver like most are using now but they don’t make those in Leftie yet! 😝😝
@@golfwisdom-francais9726 Love it! So Forward Shaft Lean at address is totally fine? Great, because it felt very weird to try and setup with the club way ahead of my hands and handle. I guess the fix would be to just tee the ball higher, tilt back and swing up. I’m really good with forward shaft lean on irons… but was fighting the lean at address with driver. Thank you for your input!
So are you 1 keeping the club face square then using the strong grip or 2 closing the club face and rotating the hands /wrists to make the club face square…. I was doing 2 but getting the odd pull hook so stopped doing it. Went to range last night tried it again but apart from hitting the odd ball left. It’s the best I’ve ever hit the ball. compression height everything. Thanks
Exactly!! One or 2 are the same; and you can always trace the pull to the left with one of 2 things: where was your focus, ball or target? And also see “how to match backswing to target Shawn clement”
Shawn this is some great stuff. Do you have any videos though to do on rolling your wrists too much on backswing and pronating everything? I have always been a strong grip player and my swing is so pronated on the back swing that I also come back down inside. So I am basically inside to inside and the only counter act this is I have my face closed at address so I can open my clubface way open which basically puts it back to square because of my closed address position. Interesting way to play as I can still shoot 70-72 this way. I may not even get rid of the opening of the club face anyway because its still adjusted for a square impact position.
Great video Shawn, showing a different approach to hitting driver. It certainly seems to work! What loft do you, Sav and Mu play on your gamer drivers out of interest?
@@golflessons yes, shame that. I play 8.5 on my ping g400 as I hit up 5 degrees like you guys. High launch, low spin. I bet Mu could get away with 5 degrees if such a club were available. His swing speed is off the charts.
Great content and so practical. Where are you looking at address? Are you looking at the back of the ball are you looking at the ground before the ball? I feel like I am more consistent with my irons and I have a better feel at address. When setting up the driver I am now setting the club in the center not next to the ball. When using the driver, when I tilt should I be looking at the back of the ball or trying to see the tee for the "intersect point."
@golflessons I’ve definitely adopted a grip similar to Savs being extremely strong as I’ve always suffered with a slice. Does she also grip her irons the same or is her driver and iron grips different? Love all the content!
Hi Shawn, how do i work out how much to close the driver club face? I have s strong grip showing 2 to 3 knuckles of my left hand and holding underside loof the club with right hand. I also perform the tilt at setup.
Simple: When you swing freely in the direction you want to send the ball, how is the flight? Too much right? Close the face. Too much hook left, open the face. If you don’t see the direction your club is going, see “blur of club”, “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” and the “goldie locks series” on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com Now, if you close it a lot and the ball is still slicing, this means that you are not getting a proper release; so you must see all the “release” video on premium, especially the “important release update” video.
@@golflessons thanks Shawn makes sense, I have been pulling shots slightly left, so will make adjustments. Place ball a little back behind heal and swing more to right field
Thanks for this! My issue with driving with a strong grip is that my misses are typically low hooks to the left. Slices are pretty nonexistent when using a strong grip. How can we prevent hooks when driving with a strong grip?
See “how to match backswing to target Shawn Clement” and play the fade with driver; we also have a power fade driver video you need to see; you will understand why fades are more reliable for driver with no loss of distance because of the strong grip!
This is a great video, for some reason I need constant reminders that my strong grip is not crazy. Now I am practicing trusting the hammer release, and getting any ideas of wrist flexion or forearm rotation out of my head; you would never use those with a hammer so why with a golf club?
What comp did Mu hit 397? I missed it!! Usually I go and check out there rounds on the LDC here on RUclips after I hear about them competing but I must have missed their last one or 2. As always excellent video Shawn, Sav and Mu. Shawn when you coming down my way man? Need to catch up with ya!
Speaking of this I don’t think it’s ever touched on. Watching you I’ve went to a norm of high 70s golf. Even shot a 73 closest to even ever. I take it a little bit further. I was getting quite a bit of pushes. But I firmly believe matchups are different for most of us. I took the slow swing and stop at impact and I visually look down at the club it was open. I twisted the club at that point until it was dynamically square ever so slightly open for a draw and ever so slightly closed for a fade. I know it sounds ass backwards. But my club is almost at a 45 degree angle at address. I think most of us do not realize what you’re teaching until we come across it. We think setup straight face balls going that way. It’s going where the face is pointed at impact not at address.
Not about that at all! Once the grip and club relationship is taken, the stress memory of the human body kicks in! Notice the arms hang with palms inward and no matter what you do, as soon as you let gravity take over, the arms reset to the same position. Think DYNAMICALLY when thinking grip and club face! See “How to put the ball in the way of the swing shawn clement”
This is where task is King! see “grass whip training shawn clement” and when you realize this is the way to go, check out our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see all the task videos first!
Gongrulations to Mu❗Very good work and fast development 👍 That backswing position is just amazing 😧 Is basic thought that, more the stronger grip is, then more deeper is the release?
Finally you mention the 'Grip Driver relationship'...! Hopefully we'll get a couple nice days this week to take the revelation for a spin. Thank you Shawn, Savannah, and Mu. Have a great off season, and wonderful Christmas. Peace...
Great demonstration, Shawn. For us mere mortals, do you think it is practical to apply the strong grip / draw just to the driver swing (i.e. for distance) but have a more neutral swing for irons (i.e. for accuracy). Or would having 2 swings confuse us when playing? Have any of your students successfully done this with a strong grip / draw for the driver only? Many thanks!
Not a shoulders thing; to really understand tilt and how it applies to your golf shots (and it’s the width of stance that will determine how much you can tilt too), see the “tilt mile markers” video on my premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and then see the “uphill shot” then the “downhill shot” and you will see that explained like NEVER BEFORE and then see the “throwing series” all the way to the “hammer throw driver” to fine tune the tilt WITHOUT THINKING and by just matching it to the shots and clubs you are using instinctively. So many more great tilt videos in there too like “hammer drill” and “contact mile markers”. Enjoy your first month on me with coupon code WISDOM10
I played with a lovely kid the other day, Sid. He’s off +2 and bombs everything. We have a hole with a ridge that’s hard to get over for most, downhill from there to a tough slick green. Top of the ridge is about 175y out. So Sid smashes it over the ridge and has about 100 yards in. I’m having some trouble with the driver atm, but just this week flipped my standard cut to a draw to try and balance things out again. I’ve been doing exactly what you’re saying here this week, as I’m familiar with WiG and know what I need to do. So I head out there, and it’s not feeling comfortable but I’m sticking with it… been here before. I reach the 15th… ridge in the distance. Now, it’s OB left and absolutely no shot if right. It’s just super intimidating this tee shot. I tell myself to slow everything down and stay on task… just be so, so committed. Absolutely smooshed the ball into a marshmallow, perfect towering draw, sails over the ridge, lands on the downslope and I had about 115 yards in. And there was no one there. Not a soul in sight. 😂 Absolute magic, I love WiG 🎉
There is just no way this post is off; it sounds so genuine in every word and you just got me there with you; amazing how awesome this community is because of the genuine felt and lived wisdom we all have!!👌👍👊🫶😀
@@golflessons You made this community Shawn! Completely legit the comment, and you know what? I played in the comp today and did it again! So I have evidence now 😃 It was a 282m drive, about 310y... pure joy 💪
See the “pulling the ball left shawn clement” video! And then check put our premium channel for the all important “alignment reload” and “blur of club” videos and the “arc nlur unstoppable momentum series”
With this video and “throwing the club” have had major ahha moment. Now hitting driver straight or draw after years of slicing out of sight. Thanks, now enjoying walking the fairway of hole I’m actually playing.😂
Great videos for us seniors! I notice Sav bumps her hips forward. When she does that ,does that put more weight on the back foot? I am 78 with spinal stenosis until I get my spinal fusion. Great driving Sav, I only can hit 190 yards with driver. Thanks for all your lessons! Bud Green London, Ont.
We are braced against the lead side from a solid trail side; very important for kinetic chain activation! On our premium channel, we have a great series called “senior series” which will allow you to find your max range of motion in the backswing to gather a ton of momentum that you will be able to use to throw the club in the direction you want to start the ball. Then see “throwing the club” and the “throwing series”, then all the “release videos” and then the “predict contact and goldie locks series” videos and finally the “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball series”
Another great video. I am all about letting the body figure this silly game out by allowing it to be free, etc.. When I try to mimic your swing or your methods, I do feel more dynamic and athletic, however the inconsistency is still there. I know I need to focus on target and not ball, but how does one do that? I mean I know that the ball is not my target, but the swing isn't consistent enough. Should one just practice the swing for a bit without a ball? Frustrated that I am not consistent.
You need a task ASAP!! See our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com (it’s just $9.95 a month and stay as long as you like) and see the “top 3 tasks” and “task update” and “task 2.0” series; then you want to see “throwing the club” and “the throwing series” and then the “predict contact”, the “blur of club”and the “goldie locks series” and finally, consistency will come with “target confirmation series” and “stick the finish despite the ball series”
Great stuff as usual. I watched Mu compete (online) at the recent Long Drive Championship right next to Bryson and the ultimate winner Martin Borgmeier and it was close. He probably could've finished in the top 4 if he wasn't in that grouping but he's definitely a strong contender and I look forward to his future comps.
Shawn what brand of horse steroids are they using? Great stuff as always, amazing how important that upward angle of attack is. Love to see you and Mu compete - Mu has to use old school real wood driver.
The guy would still get me after he starts hitting it in the screws! 😝😝 But, we started showing them both how to max out their righty swings in the next few videos and Savy is already over 150 yards with the 7 iron! 😝 and Mu is right there at 175 7 iron…I will be competing with my left hand against their right hand when they get to a certain stage! 😎
@@golflessons Savy and Mu’s righty swings will be an interesting progression to watch. The driver power in their current lefty swings are crazy good! Where is all their power coming from? Your power is nuts too. Is your swing power the same depending on if you swing lefty or righty? Would love to see a video on where this power is coming from, along with side by side comparison, lefty to righty swings🙂 Additionally, in regards to recent rule changes of being able to carry 18 clubs. Would be interested to know if you would encourage carrying lefty clubs for the right handed golfer with those 4 additional clubs, and then subsequently suggestions on how to quickly learn to swing the opposite way🙃
@@golflessons Thanks!!! Looking forward to the content!! I always use your perpetual motion drill with my neutral grip and level shoulder alignment. I am trying to convert over to the strong grip, hands forward, low trailing shoulder as you emphasize. The drill is a bit of an odd feeling though but hoping repetition helps with that trail shoulder so low. Also been starting to swing left handed as well to take advantage of those additional clubs. Maybe lefty GW, 7I, Hybrid and Driver for those added clubs🤔😵💫

See “how to match backswing to target Shawn Clement” and play the fade with driver; we also have a power fade driver video you need to see; you will understand why fades are more reliable for driver with no loss of distance because of the strong grip!
This is a great video, for some reason I need constant reminders that my strong grip is not crazy. Now I am practicing trusting the hammer release, and getting any ideas of wrist flexion or forearm rotation out of my head; you would never use those with a hammer so why with a golf club?
EXACTLY!! Chopping a tree down with a bowed wrist? You will freeze to death as you will break your wrist and the tree will win! 😝😝
What comp did Mu hit 397? I missed it!! Usually I go and check out there rounds on the LDC here on RUclips after I hear about them competing but I must have missed their last one or 2. As always excellent video Shawn, Sav and Mu. Shawn when you coming down my way man? Need to catch up with ya!
Utah! Sav hits PB of 327 and Mu at 397 and altitude was only 1200 feet; I would have thought much higher but no.
@@golflessons damn I watched that one that’s super impressive. Sav out driving me by 30-35yrds 😂
I have a question, is it OK to have your hands in front of the ball when setting up?
Chk out at 1.58 time in video...what do you see with her?
Speaking of this I don’t think it’s ever touched on. Watching you I’ve went to a norm of high 70s golf. Even shot a 73 closest to even ever. I take it a little bit further. I was getting quite a bit of pushes. But I firmly believe matchups are different for most of us. I took the slow swing and stop at impact and I visually look down at the club it was open. I twisted the club at that point until it was dynamically square ever so slightly open for a draw and ever so slightly closed for a fade. I know it sounds ass backwards. But my club is almost at a 45 degree angle at address. I think most of us do not realize what you’re teaching until we come across it. We think setup straight face balls going that way. It’s going where the face is pointed at impact not at address.
You have crossed into the realm of WISDOM my friend! 👍👌👊💪
please explain why her club is 10 plus degrees open at address. However her 1st move before off the ball she closed it back to square. Why start open
Not about that at all! Once the grip and club relationship is taken, the stress memory of the human body kicks in! Notice the arms hang with palms inward and no matter what you do, as soon as you let gravity take over, the arms reset to the same position. Think DYNAMICALLY when thinking grip and club face! See “How to put the ball in the way of the swing shawn clement”
@@golflessons thank you. I enjoy your videos
It all makes so much sense, I just cannot get it to come together for me..
This is where task is King! see “grass whip training shawn clement” and when you realize this is the way to go, check out our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see all the task videos first!
I’m confused, so close the club face then grip it ,
Slight bent of torso and swing?
Or use closed grip , tilt and swing? 🤷🏽♂️
the first one; see “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement”
Tried it today! Hit some bombs, but also a couple hooks . Thanks for the awesome tip!
I have been wasting swing speed for about 12 years. Two range sessions so far, there is definitely something to this.
This grip squeezes all the speed out of that ball for max efficiency!
Gongrulations to Mu❗Very good work and fast development 👍 That backswing position is just amazing 😧 Is basic thought that, more the stronger grip is, then more deeper is the release?
Yes, it is!
Finally you mention the 'Grip Driver relationship'...! Hopefully we'll get a couple nice days this week to take the revelation for a spin. Thank you Shawn, Savannah, and Mu.
Have a great off season, and wonderful Christmas.
Peace...
Great demonstration, Shawn. For us mere mortals, do you think it is practical to apply the strong grip / draw just to the driver swing (i.e. for distance) but have a more neutral swing for irons (i.e. for accuracy). Or would having 2 swings confuse us when playing? Have any of your students successfully done this with a strong grip / draw for the driver only? Many thanks!
The purpose is ALWAYS to move through the ball; see “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement”
Same grip for an iron or a 3wood off the fairway?
Some will need to close the woods more and some less; depends on the product!
Shawn, the wider the shoulders, the more side tilt required?
Not a shoulders thing; to really understand tilt and how it applies to your golf shots (and it’s the width of stance that will determine how much you can tilt too), see the “tilt mile markers” video on my premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and then see the “uphill shot” then the “downhill shot” and you will see that explained like NEVER BEFORE and then see the “throwing series” all the way to the “hammer throw driver” to fine tune the tilt WITHOUT THINKING and by just matching it to the shots and clubs you are using instinctively. So many more great tilt videos in there too like “hammer drill” and “contact mile markers”. Enjoy your first month on me with coupon code WISDOM10
I played with a lovely kid the other day, Sid. He’s off +2 and bombs everything. We have a hole with a ridge that’s hard to get over for most, downhill from there to a tough slick green. Top of the ridge is about 175y out. So Sid smashes it over the ridge and has about 100 yards in.
I’m having some trouble with the driver atm, but just this week flipped my standard cut to a draw to try and balance things out again. I’ve been doing exactly what you’re saying here this week, as I’m familiar with WiG and know what I need to do. So I head out there, and it’s not feeling comfortable but I’m sticking with it… been here before. I reach the 15th… ridge in the distance. Now, it’s OB left and absolutely no shot if right. It’s just super intimidating this tee shot. I tell myself to slow everything down and stay on task… just be so, so committed.
Absolutely smooshed the ball into a marshmallow, perfect towering draw, sails over the ridge, lands on the downslope and I had about 115 yards in. And there was no one there. Not a soul in sight. 😂
Absolute magic, I love WiG 🎉
There is just no way this post is off; it sounds so genuine in every word and you just got me there with you; amazing how awesome this community is because of the genuine felt and lived wisdom we all have!!👌👍👊🫶😀
@@golflessons You made this community Shawn! Completely legit the comment, and you know what? I played in the comp today and did it again! So I have evidence now 😃 It was a 282m drive, about 310y... pure joy 💪
@@quoostonator 🫶🫶👊💪
Everytime I try this grip I always hit it two clubs longer. But always pull it left or way left. Any advice?
See the “pulling the ball left shawn clement” video! And then check put our premium channel for the all important “alignment reload” and “blur of club” videos and the “arc nlur unstoppable momentum series”
Mu's stance width is kinda narrow for a power hitter. Is it a secret for all that power and solid impact? 😅
JUST LIKE THE LATE GREAT BOBBY JONES!!!
@@golflessons it sure is a rare sight for a pro-long driver 😅 i'll defintely give it a try. Thank you Sir, for these face on videos
With this video and “throwing the club” have had major ahha moment. Now hitting driver straight or draw after years of slicing out of sight. Thanks, now enjoying walking the fairway of hole I’m actually playing.😂
Those are so sweet! 👍👌👊😀
Why do you have the club head about 2-3 inches away from the ball? Is this new, what purpose is served by it being so far back?
Watch an oldie but goodie called “great driver tip shawn clement” and another called driver draw shawn clement”
Great videos for us seniors! I notice Sav bumps her hips forward. When she does that ,does that put more weight on the back foot? I am 78 with spinal stenosis until I get my spinal fusion. Great driving Sav, I only can hit 190 yards with driver. Thanks for all your lessons! Bud Green London, Ont.
We are braced against the lead side from a solid trail side; very important for kinetic chain activation! On our premium channel, we have a great series called “senior series” which will allow you to find your max range of motion in the backswing to gather a ton of momentum that you will be able to use to throw the club in the direction you want to start the ball. Then see “throwing the club” and the “throwing series”, then all the “release videos” and then the “predict contact and goldie locks series” videos and finally the “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball series”
Another great video. I am all about letting the body figure this silly game out by allowing it to be free, etc.. When I try to mimic your swing or your methods, I do feel more dynamic and athletic, however the inconsistency is still there. I know I need to focus on target and not ball, but how does one do that? I mean I know that the ball is not my target, but the swing isn't consistent enough. Should one just practice the swing for a bit without a ball? Frustrated that I am not consistent.
You need a task ASAP!! See our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com (it’s just $9.95 a month and stay as long as you like) and see the “top 3 tasks” and “task update” and “task 2.0” series; then you want to see “throwing the club” and “the throwing series” and then the “predict contact”, the “blur of club”and the “goldie locks series” and finally, consistency will come with “target confirmation series” and “stick the finish despite the ball series”
Great stuff as usual. I watched Mu compete (online) at the recent Long Drive Championship right next to Bryson and the ultimate winner Martin Borgmeier and it was close. He probably could've finished in the top 4 if he wasn't in that grouping but he's definitely a strong contender and I look forward to his future comps.
Nice! He missed the next day cut top 24 by one yard!! He did make it the previous event in Utah though! 👍👌👊🤛🏾🫶
@@golflessons it's amazing what you've helped him accomplish in just a few years. He's definitely on the right track! 👍🏼
I tried this with the driver. A ton of duck hooks left.....low too.
If you feel that your swing is low effort and you are releasing through the ball, then go ahead and open the club face!
What's different with the irons?
Same grip; have a look at last week’s video! Ho to our home page and see the latest uploads!
Shawn what brand of horse steroids are they using? Great stuff as always, amazing how important that upward angle of attack is. Love to see you and Mu compete - Mu has to use old school real wood driver.
The guy would still get me after he starts hitting it in the screws! 😝😝
But, we started showing them both how to max out their righty swings in the next few videos and Savy is already over 150 yards with the 7 iron! 😝 and Mu is right there at 175 7 iron…I will be competing with my left hand against their right hand when they get to a certain stage! 😎
@@golflessons Savy and Mu’s righty swings will be an interesting progression to watch. The driver power in their current lefty swings are crazy good! Where is all their power coming from?
Your power is nuts too. Is your swing power the same depending on if you swing lefty or righty? Would love to see a video on where this power is coming from, along with side by side comparison, lefty to righty swings🙂
Additionally, in regards to recent rule changes of being able to carry 18 clubs. Would be interested to know if you would encourage carrying lefty clubs for the right handed golfer with those 4 additional clubs, and then subsequently suggestions on how to quickly learn to swing the opposite way🙃
@@RWCARC Roger that! 👍👌Thank you for the great comment!
@@golflessons Thanks!!! Looking forward to the content!! I always use your perpetual motion drill with my neutral grip and level shoulder alignment. I am trying to convert over to the strong grip, hands forward, low trailing shoulder as you emphasize. The drill is a bit of an odd feeling though but hoping repetition helps with that trail shoulder so low. Also been starting to swing left handed as well to take advantage of those additional clubs. Maybe lefty GW, 7I, Hybrid and Driver for those added clubs🤔😵💫
@@RWCARC It’s a fun challenge! 👍👌
Mu has cartilage for bones, he's crazy flexible!
Your club would be more visible on the screen, if the text of what you are saying was on the top of the screen.
Why is her set up so different appearing than yours? Appears to have a much stronger grip, address tilt is much more pronounced
Stevie!! 🫶💪❤️
Can’t watch. I’m right handed.
I AM RIGHT HANDED TOO! Just skip to mine! 😝
Imagine if moo was juiced up like all the top long drive guys
no need! we have another secret weapon! go to my home page and see the last 2 videos! 👍👊
