Your Golf Machine; #1 Most Popular Golf Teacher on You Tube Shawn Clement

[TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND]

Scully! Yeah right ! Ever heard of the "golfcoach killer"? This is him!

[CanadianSuperNerd]

I took a lesson with Shawn and was early. While waiting, I took a chance and actually shook Skully's bony hand. It was ALMOST as cool as meeting Shawn and then having a terrific lesson with him! The BEST 30 minutes of 2011! All I can say is "Wow, that drive went far! See you guys on the green." BTW: This video should get MORE views. Highly effective.

Kind of like moving into a braced then falling pole for the right leg (right handers) then moving into an extending bracing pole for the shot (left leg)

You should come and join our Forum; we are having a blast exchanging stories and the threads have been very insightful; Shawn

Hi Shawn, I love how you show that it's so easy just swinging the arms and body together, back and through, Helps to play the course instinctively rather than being preoccupied with too many mechanics which is best to be knowledgable about. I have, for the longest time been searching for the easiest translation to all that the teaching pros I've had lessons with have taught me.

Thanks for giving me the best solution to end my frustrations =))))

[clemshaw]

@TotelleDimson You are so welcome! For the focus side, you need to see my "how to focus" and "ridiculously easy" videos; Shawn

[mebagga]

Hi Shawn, you always demonstrate practice swinging the club back and forth like its second nature to you but its not for most of us. Can you slow the whole thing down please and break it down to show what your arms, hands and wrists are doing rather than just assuming we know how to do it.

[clemshaw]

@mebagga I have many videos on this; "golf pro lesson fine tuning arm motion plane" "Golf Pro lesson arm motion" "golf pro lesson slow motion" and "golf pro lesson bridging flat wrists with hinged wrists" just to name a few; my new 5 disc DVD series has this info in spades! Check out my new site with forum too; it is a great place to get the right conversations going about this game! Thanks, Shawn

nice

[monty4171]

Shawn,

Does this mean you do not agree with the so called "Golf Machine' principle by Ben Doyle and others? I have tried your methods and Doyle's methods and continue to struggle with the longer clubs. I feel my backswing is right on plane but on the downswing I am always out to in resulting in either a slice, a push or a ball a mile high and not far. Please help

[clemshaw]

You would be correct; they have their nuggets but too much of what they teach goes against very basic anatomical movements of the body; the true acid test is uphill, downhill, sidehill, feet together and one leg drills and combined with the perpetual motion drill; stack and tilt as well as the golf machine boys don't even come close to covering these...

Shawn

[cockywatchman1976]

@clemshaw One thing is for sure Shawn. Your teachning seems easier on my mental sanity than The Golfing Machine. What with all their hinges, preesure points, accumulators and such. Its like studying an engineering degree. Seriously, interesting as it all is, I just don't see how that complexity of thinking can be transfered to the golf course. You need a sound understanding, the feel of what to do and the ability to repeat it-thats all.

[clemshaw]

@cockywatchman1976 Amen to that! If the conscious mind had to control the body, making one golf swing would be an impossibility or would take 20 years; whatever the case, nobody would be playing...:) To make things easier, see "golf pro lesson rigiculously easy!" part 1 and 2

Thank you for the comment! Shawn

[lokiboy22]

Hi Shaun,

Your vids are great. I am a 12 handicap trying not to make use of the docs serices.... Using your technique of moving my head towards my back foot I hit the ball very crisp, with very little strain on my lower back. fantastic. Unfortunately I either push it right or draw it too much. Seem to have very much a in to out swing. How do I get better direction?

thanks again..

[xbepox]

Try moving the ball more forward in your stance. See the "Be a solid ball striker" video for an explanation

[clemshaw]

This sounds like a width issue; see the "golf pro lesson timing and tempo update", "golf pro lesson perpetual motion drill" as well as the "golf pro lesson arms in front of body" and combine it with the "golf Pro lesson tilted spiral" part 1, 2 and 3

I would also see about getting my dvd series which will get you the info in priority sequence; Shawn

[kingceasarperez]

This is probably one of the most helpful videos that I've came across on YouTube! Thanks Shawn!

[stahlbucks]

Hey Shawn, have a question regarding chokeing down on clubs. Is it ok 2 choke down on all clubs irons mostly. instead of resizeing? I have 2 choke down on all my iorns(King Cobra II) and scoot the ball closer 2 me 2 feel like I am getting good ball-first contact on shots that leave divots. Yet if I scoot the ball farther away and grip towards the butt of the shaft more I can rip it with less control. R they 2 long 4 me? Is there a formula 2 determine this? Help me oh Great Northern Golf Guru

[clemshaw]

Yes my child! :)

Some of the best ball strikers of all time did and still do the grip down thing; it is about fit and feel. Nick Price, Moe Norman, Anthony Kim and many more... you are in great company! Stay the way you are!

Hi Shawn, got a question about foot pain. Although I haven't played or practiced for several weeks I noticed my left foot (I'm a lefty golfer) had pain that started in the ball of the foot and seemed to migrate to the heel and ankle and back at different times. Is it possible I'm not getting to my forward foot properly on my follow-thru & finish thus causing a strain on my left foot? Thanks & keep up the fantastic instruction. Your DVD's are the best!

[clemshaw]

Thanks lhgolfer!

You are very much onto the issue of your problem; go to my "Golf Pro Lesson Finish Position" and make sure that holding your finish becomes a habit for you; when you see the video you will know what I mean;

Best of the Holiday season to you! Shawn

[drdan51]

I love the videos Shawn, they have really helped my game. Just a bit on the anatomy part though. The sacrum isn't fused to the pelvis, there are two joints on each side called sacroiliac joints and they do move. As a chiropractor, I adjust them on golfers everyday! Keep up the great advice.

[clemshaw]

Hey Dr Dan;Thanks for the great comment!

Understood of course; but just how much mobility do these joints have? And what is their purpose?

Shawn

[slkeays]

Shawn your comment is CORRECT..As an orthopedic surgeon[7 handicap] I can assure you it takes a lot of hard work with a hammer and an osteotome to mobilise an SI joint. My problem is reduced internal rotation of my right hip[early OA] which makes my windup more difficult as I am now 65.

In addition one faces reduced lumbar mobility making it more difficult to keep ones spinal angle through impact

Do you have any suggestions for this problem which faces older golfers?

[clemshaw]

Thanks Doc! And yes I do have a suggestion for you and that is to use your good hip to your advantage and hit some shots using the "One Leg Drill" video; you will not believe how far you will hit the ball! I played a whole tournament and finished second using this drill both right and left handed and the other PGA Pros who were playing with me could not believe I was outdriving them by 40 plus yards!

Let me know how you do; Shawn

[toobad41]

Excellent use of the prop..this validates your previous videos. Keep up the great work you have moved golf instruction to a higher level.

Thanks,

Rene

[clemshaw]

Thanks for the nice comment Rene!

[RobbZer0]

I've recently been looking at Hogan's swing and how he pivots around the balls of his right foot. It seems similar to what you're doing but it looks like you keep your weight on your left side. Thinking it might just be an illusion.

So when you're braced into the inner side of your left foot do you still have the majority of the weight on your right foot in the backswing?

[clemshaw]

Yes; because of the weight of the arms swinging in front of the body which causes even more swing weight to occur; watch the "Proper weight shift" and the "one Leg drill" and the "one Leg part 2" videos.

All are on the "you tube Shawn" page of my website. Thanks for the great question! Shawn

[812ekoms]

RobbeZer0, are you trying to screw you right foot into the dirt as sevam1 is suggesting?

[RobbZer0]

Ya. I've been watching alot of his vids about the pivoting. It seems to help.

[beeefelemouton]

Thanks so much for all your work, Shawn. You are definitly a great teacher. Thks for the public good you offer.

X-factor destroyed my learning for my first 3 years of golf, you are helping me so much since. Thks again ! (Christophe, from Tours, France)

[clemshaw]

Bienvenue Christophe!
