  • shawn is this also for the driver or is the driver swing twerked a little? thanks

  • @TigerWoodsWorld Have a look at my "swing Plane Update; shawn clement" video and it will give you the details; great question! Shawn

  • Shawn:Why does it seem so much easier to get into the "skipping the stone position" when using just the right arm ?

  • @mckyj That would be a nice subject of discussion for my forum! Please go ahead and register and open a thread and I will chime in at some point; All the best! Shawn

  • @clemshaw Shawn, when im swinging with my arms in front, it seems like i have developed an "outside" release to the ball. I think my hands are on the outside of ball and not coming "inside" of the ball and im really cutting across it. Mostly with my driver??

  • @TAMMYWISEMAN 2 things to respond for this: See "weak grip or strong grip; shawn clement" and "ridiculously easy; shawn clement" to make sure you have the right focus; and I would seriously get my dvd series as there are some things missing in your fundamental understanding of the swing and the dvds will atke you through in priority sequence to make sure all the important pieces of your puzzle are in place; All the best!

  • Shawn, once again awesome stuff. I finally figured out (with the help of my pro) that I was spinning out drastically because my hips were driving way to fast while my arms stayed behind. This opened up my shoulders at impact, huge slices or flippy pull hooks. Although I've watched this video multiple times, it finally clicked. Thinking "fast arms falling" helped me tremendously. Now I can use the arms to create speed and the hips to create leverage at impact. My SS jumped at least 10mph!

  • Your ideas about arm falling in front while the body turns are very effective. At 3:41 that's a "Moe Normanish" kind of action to me! Btw I think there's another effective procedure for the downswing. The point is that we imagine that the body starts unwinding hard from the top along with the arms. This way the torso has to stop and stall at - or ever before - impact, in order to allow the hands and arm to be released. What if we start the downswing with "pivot stall" + arm falling?

  • ok, I didn't watch all of your video. I see that maybe I am letting my arms fall behind my body.

  • I can do all this, but for some reason, I can't square the clubface. I am always holding the face open. Can't seem to stop, even though I know I am doing it!!

  • Hi,

    very interesting is the position in 3:40 where hands are much more in front of the body than they were at address position.. how to continue from this position to meet the ball correctly? to get in front is quite easy. but what to do after that? thnx fof help!

  • thanks shawn now that the club is in front me the club clears easily and I can create more speed...

  • I had to go at it the other way around, I had re-train the hips to clear and stay back in order to make room for the arms.

  • best instructional videos on youtube (or anywhere else for that matter) great job shawn, keep up the good work.

    regards, from Tasmania, Aus :D

  • hey shawn, I had a real quick question about the "Plant fall", "Plant Fall"...i watched your tempo and timing videos and i was confused with when i plant the left foot in relation to the arms falling. My understanding is i plant the left foot first then let the arms fall .Is that correct? or the arms fall and the plant happens as a results of the arms falling? Thanks !!
