The guy is a genius, it’s so simple tho. Who knew we were Pinocchio without the strings. I just love ripping all my clubs now. My wedge went from 120 to 140😯
Shawn, I would like to say that last week I played a couple of rounds of golf in Florida and I shot 78 and 81 after watching several of your videos on RUclips! I am 56 yrs of age and I have never and any kind of game plan on how to swing a club properly until watching you teach!! I would love to meet and possibly get a couple of lessons? Golf is fun again thanks to you!!!
Right on Steven! Are you in Florida? Because Sav and Mu will be in Orlando at the Clermont National Golf Club on the week of April 14th and then they are headed to Hobe Sound for the World Long Drive event there. Let me know if you want to join in on the clinics they will be giving there; there are just a couple spots left! Email me at shawnclement@me.com
@@golflessons I have returned to Collingwood and unfortunately can't make that. That would have been awesome!!! I would love to meet them both as I feel as if I know them from your channel. Perhaps another time. I would be willing to come to Quebec City.
Letting my hips open has been a game changer to me. I like your tip about throwing the club, that’s what I feel like I’m doing now. I’ve been hitting drives over 330 this year, including one wind aided one that went about 410. Great tips Shawn!
Thank you Shawn. With all the instruction I’ve subjected myself to over many years to hear that dear Bobby Jones showed us how to hit a golf ball by making a full relaxed turn gives me hope. I watched the series he made with Hollywood stars and thought nobody swings that way these days ie the 90s. How wrong .😅
Bobby Jones and many other greats are proof the hips can not be over rotated. As long as the lead hip lowers and the trail hip raises crucial pelvic tilt will be achieved at the top. If the pelvis is rotated flat the trail glut will not be loaded properly and transition will suffer. With proper hip tilt anyone can wind the hips as far as humanly possible. Over hip rotation is a misdiagnosis of proper hip rotation. Bobby Jones did some funky things with his wrists and arms but his pivot was one of the greatest ever. The lead knee must break back and down and the trail knee must straighten to some degree in order to have the proper tilt. Over rotation of the hips is just B.S. As always another great video Shawn. Thanks Shawn #1
I hate to be that guy but I just can't find mention of that little heel stomp that you and Mu dopier to takeaway. Sav doesn't do it, but you guys do - as best that I can tell.
Putting that tape on top of my driver to frame the ball at address has had amazing results for my consistency. I had one of the best driving rounds of my life last Saturday.
Nice!! Mine as you can see is still on as well as my 3 wood and I love how it helps in the backswing to match to the direction I want to send the tee tip! 👍😀💪
Of all the RUclips golf videos I have watched Shawn's ideas are the ones I recall and put into practice at the range/course. I was even telling an older lady who was just starting out the other day how to "cut the grass" I still must be getting something wrong because i'm putting in a lot of effort to break 100mph even though I feel like I am doing what's in the video
Hey Krusher! If you are not already on our premium channel, get with that first and then use the 30% discount to do a video analysis with me and I will get you on track personally! Looking forward to seeing you!
Loves this. Shawn, do think these same results can be achieved with clubs not fit to the golfer? Or would you say that your videos are assuming that the golfer is properly fit for the clubs they carry?
I will say I was a hockey player first! And your explanation of NOT swinging at the ball but the direction you want it to go, is very similar to shooting a puck on a slap shot...nice work it clicks for me. Thanks
I had one of my best drives of the year using less effort last week. The fairway is literally 10 paces wide and I split the fairway with the straight drive. It was longer then any other drive I had previously on that hole, even though it was cold (under 50 degrees Fahrenheit) and a very wet fairway.
I've been putting your philosophies into action with good effect. Loving my results - hitting nice draws now instead of fades/slices. However, I'm pretty sure my club speed is about the same as yours, but I'm only carrying the driver around 260. What could be some possible causes (supposing my swing speed is actually similar to yours)?
Hi Shawn, JK from old RH winter practice. Just had last round of year, best driving round yet! Your insights are great. Had two questions. (1) Bryson certainly doesn't do the "low strain" swing. I wonder if less strain would lead to more consistency for him especially in pressure situations? (2) The "full range of motion" but try to hit driver only 175 yards, is something you mentioned a few times, and great way to reset tempo. Very instructive how far the ball goes with 1/10 on effort. Is it actually possible to only hit the driver 175 with full range of motion? Did Paine Stewart "cover a blanket" out at that distance?
Bryson goes hard and then dials it down in his events; only goes full out at long drive competitions. Yes, but Payne used a persimmon driver and that was easier to pull off!
If only I lived in Canada…would love to get some in person lessons from the best in the industry. Bye the way…is that a ventus I see? Looks like you put the old NV to rest..
Hey Mat! Thank you for the kind words! Yes, because we have been the #1 Fitters for green grass for all of Canada for Callaway Golf, they have sent us a few exotic shafts to try and the Ventus Black Velocore (about $350.00 uncharge) gave me a WHOA MOMENT. WOW, what a great shaft! Best way to describe is "tight without being rigid" and it feels like a nice extension of me. It has stayed in my bag ever since I tried it...🤩😎
Shawn, if you get some fun free time on your hands , could you explain Billy Casper right leg on his golf swing and weight shift?? Lol....it's no seriousness behind this, but it looks like a pretty interesting weight shift feel.
Yes, I have noticed that movement; this is classic when you see golfers with dancing feet, it means the stance does not fit the shot (because they were taught to set up classically) and then they have to blow out of that stance to actually execute the shot they need! Good video suggestion!! Thank you!!
Depends on you! for me it’s LA and I am happy to say please tell them wisdom in golf sent you! It is part of the Callaway line up of available shafts too! see if you can get out and try it before though!
@@golflessons thanks Shawn. Been watching you since they start when I just started the game , I’ve recently went to the strong grip like sav and starting with the driver centre. And was hitting hitting 310-315 total , really low spin but had some hooks. Is that just from not “resetting the mind/computer “. Once I hit a bunch of balls it should straighten out ??
As always, love your content and approach; however, those numbers don’t add up for that second shot. 160ish ball speed is not carrying almost 290. Especially at almost sea level where Congressional is located in Maryland.
we have tides here in Quebec City; at 300 feet here; hit that drive right on the sweet spot, just nutted! Very much the same distances I am used to on my course.
Hey Barry! You need some solid references with the driver to be allowed to turn the swing loose!! The more you let the swing go, the better it tracks and the farther and straighter that you send it.

@@golflessons Thanks, I'll have to check it out. I've been checking out your videos for many years then took some time off golf and really got back into it this year. This all makes sense to me but I have a mental block. I had one good round this year where everything clicked and I was hitting 280+. I'll have to set up something in my garage and really into training this winter.
Watching Bobby Jones I always wonder whether he was swinging without any front and/or side bend whatsoever. Or is it just his outfit giving that impression?
if you see our "feet together drill Shawn Clement" videos, you will notice that the side bend is limited because of width! the wider the stance, the more possibility you have for sidebend! 😄
Shawn, I respect your ideas, but I couldn’t disagree more with the title of this video. I think Bryson’s swing is a close comparison to the move of the great ball striker, Moe Norman. If you placed videos side-by-side of Bobby Jones’ and John Daly’s ball striking, it’s scary how similar the path of the club head is for both.
All the big hitters, including Bryson have admitted that their swings were so violent that it causes injury to backs and knees. There has to be some awareness for the recreational golfer to have the "wisdom" to not do anything that causes injury. I don't believe that those violent swings are sustainable over a period of time. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
@@golflessons I suppose I have a challenge with you stating that "Bryson DeChambeau GOLF SWING is just like BOBBY JONES!" I think a more accurate and less misleading title would be, "Check out the similarities of Bryson DeChambeau swing and Bobby Jones swing."

@@golflessons what are your thoughts on bobby Jones grip, him saying he places the thumb to the side, would mean stronger grip, even though the club face at the top of the swing looks normal only because of his cupped wrists 🤷♂️
This last week I’ve been implementing your full range of motion back swing and increased carry from 250/260 up to 270/280. Love it !
It's amazing isn't it? Before Shawn I was carrying my driver 220 to 230 and now its 270 to 280.

Just instagram or twitter clip…not long to begin with…
Loves this. Shawn, do think these same results can be achieved with clubs not fit to the golfer? Or would you say that your videos are assuming that the golfer is properly fit for the clubs they carry?
Most golfers are pretty close but often times it does make a big diff! Example: when someone hits a fairway wood better than a hybrid; makes no sense…
I will say I was a hockey player first! And your explanation of NOT swinging at the ball but the direction you want it to go, is very similar to shooting a puck on a slap shot...nice work it clicks for me. Thanks
exactly! we make the comparison to hockey all the time; collect the ball from where it lies and release it into the direction you want it to go!
