  • Hello Shawn...your website is currently down, under construction, so i'm not able to read your forum to find an answer to my question. I've only recently discovered your existence. I'm new to golf (first summer)...no formal lessons. The problem with my swing that i'm MOST concerned about, is about 1 out of 5 swings with the irons, I am experiencing a extremely sharp pain that runs through my left hand/wrist, as the club hits the ball. Is it my grip? Should i give up golf? Is there a solution?

  • @iamjarrodtoo There is always a solution my man! My website is always up except for once this summer when a storm knocked out the service for a day; could be it was then! :) See "how arms and club release" as well as "Knife the grip" and talk about it in my forum too as we have many pros and veterans to help! Shawn

  • hey shawn, thanks for all the videos. I am a player whos been playing for 3 years, and im a 12 handicap. The one problem i consistently have in my swing is that i shut the club when i hinge it. i was just wondering if there is any advice you could give or a video. thanks

  • @nhlhitz1 I have had several students who tend to re-grip in the backswing; this tells me that they are trying to hit the ball with the club by using the arms and hands; instead of using the weight of the arm-club unit to compress through the ball towards a target; very different mindset! See "overswing and fast backswing; shawn clement" and "Feel the swing plane; shawn clement" Shawn

  • This question may not pertain to this video. On impact what angle is the back of the left hand pointing to. [right handed golfers.] Is the angle different for the driver compared to the irons.

  • @sifurick123 Hey thanks for the great question; if you are focused on your action to target, you will not need to worry about this; the back of the lead hand will be flat but this is the last thing you need to worry about; see my "solid contact; shawn clement" and "hammer through; shawn clement" videos; we have talked at length about this in our forum as well; All the best! Shawn

  • Your right leg straightens on your backswing, that will throw you off plane .

  • you play with a fairly long left thumb shawn

  • Hey Great Video.

    I have been playing golf for years and I never really concentrated on wrist hinge.

    I am going to try it out tomorrow. Do you think it will give me distance?

  • Hi Shawn, I feel that sometimes my wrist is not getting hinged at the top in the back swing. Si I do not get that loaded arms feeling. Any suggestions/drills. Thanks.

  • you the man
