Top 25 Golf Pro Lesson; Takeaway and Starting Swing

Shawn, I am an avid viewer of your videos and they have been an immense help. I try to model my swing to yours. With regard to the takeaway - is the crane and wrecking ball feel a deliberate motion in the initial part of takeaway or after the forward knee press is it then just a carefree toss of the arms up into the backswing?

Hi Shawn, Great videos. What do you feel about 3/4 backswing as advocated by Don Trahan. My back is suffering but it seems to be made worse when I 'snatch' at the top and start down with the shoulders and hands. So I thought about shortening it. Really appreciate your help.

Regards

Jim

WIth the x-factor swing I was starting to get a middle of the back twinge and right hamstring tendonitis. Now all of my joint issues went away with Shawns swing. The big hip turn really alleviates an lower to mid back pressure.

Go to his Top 25 Golf Pro Lesson Feet Together Drill video. This will help out A LOT!!!

Thank you so much. from being an 8 handicap I have slipped to 15 because i started freezing in my backswing-your right knee inward move to start the swing has really helped me focus on core body turn instead of a hands and arms pick-up move, It will take time but yesterday i shot an 82 with that more relaxed feel. Keep up the great work!

Shawn this move specifically along with your other great vids. have helped so much. That little kick to get started and then "toss" are all I think of in my swing and I hit the ball so solid. Again your other vids. have def. helped as well. You are the best instructor I have ever seen and I live in Phoenix where there are alot of them.

Someone out there is jealous of your success, what with them giving the comments the old thumbs down. Guess that must mean your doing something right. Ive got your DVDs and they are so well thought through and easy to understand. Im always reverting back to hear what Shawn Clement had to say about this and that!! Keep up the good work.

Thank you brother!
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

Fantastic! After watching your DVD Disc 1 just now, I went to the range to try out the levitation in the takeaway, and it works. It really is effortless momentum.
