One thing that might confuse people is you DO NOT want the club to skip before it impacts the ball. It should directly after or while it's striking the ball
Very good point; so I will add that you can see this in my "golf pro lesson contact and spin" and "golf pro lesson compress through the ball" and "golf pro lesson through the ball"
Thanks for pointing this out! Shawn
That sounded PURE…
You have a classic swing…don't see many of those these days, with the loose front knee…nice.
Got more coming up on that; in the meantime, see "golf pro lesson the insanity of golf"! Shawn
Thanks for posting this Shawn! Your videos are superb. I've learnt so much from your videos especially with the iron shots. I'm now working on my fairway woods and getting that consistent now. This video is helping me alot!
Thanks!!!
My latest remedy for this is "Golf Pro lesson the insanity of golf" and you can also see "golf pro lesson timing and tempo";
Shawn
Thanks Andrew!

Shawn, Love your videos and I have your dvd's. Great stuff. I notice that you are not dipping your head with the fairway wood like you do with the irons. I think you called it a centripetal pump. I thought it was important to add power to the swing.
@pulpotomy well yes! What you are seeing here is from January 12, 2007! I learn and improve all the time as well! 🙂 The 4 wood you see here is going 250; it is now going 265-270; and this is what the pump will do for most of my students; one club more in distance and a reduction in effort so it is easier to repeat;
Great comment! Shawn
that sounded long
prefer Scott Cranfield. Nothing wrong with this teacher, I just "get" Scott's lessons more.
@BeauregardL Different strokes for different folks; but you should have a look at a few more of my videos before passing judgement; I have 215 to choose from right now…Scott's channel has none; so I don't know how to compare what he does vs what I do; or what he does to help the game apart from running his golf teaching business…
Hey Shawn! i have started using your swing technique with the heavy hammer and all of that, and i have excellent ball contact, although i have a tendency to slice the ball sometimes, especially with fairwaywoods. Help!
By the way, love your videos 🙂
@unholybadge95 See 2 videos for this: "Swing plane update; shawn clement" and "Weak grip or strong grip" which will go very well with "Farm Hammer" Shawn
Hi shawn, I've been watching your videos over and over and I am just starting to feel like things are starting to make sense. It was a video on release that especially made me feel what I was doing wrong and how I needed to swing instead. But it made me wonder, you say that you don't release the club until after impact, which makes sense, however, with your drivers and fairway woods where the ball is to your left, does that mean that release comes later in your swing versus an iron swing?
Like if you noticed the red tee markers.
I would like to buy their videos, but is in Spanish?
Shawn, is that a Titleist 908F you're hitting? Sounds a lot like it…and mine!
Also, I've been watching you swing the club for 5 years. Your swing now seems different from this 2007 swing. Have you made conscious changes in this time as you've been doing your videos?
You were kind to reply to my email back in 2008. I'm down to 6 and still learning from you so thanks for your efforts. Sadly the YouTube trolls still exist but you do well not to retaliate.
Cheers from sunny/rainy Glasgow!
You will see the same fundamentals but a steady evolution in my game; you can always found on your swing evolving through the years! 🙂 Shawn
I needed a 3 wood drill. Please and thank you
3 wood is just a wider bottom to skip with or a wider blade to cut across the grass with; Driver off the deck is much easier than you think! See first "swing plane update shawn clement" to make sure you are setting up properly and then see "grass whip shawn clement" and "grass whip on course strategies shawn.."
Shwaaaaa-ting perfectly balanced swing with crisp impact! Now why can't I do this
thanks for the tip, Shawn. i think i need to go practise at the driving range more often than not. i simply just CANNOT hit a FW!
Shawn has some of the absolute best, straight forward, practical, teaching methods I've seen in the last decade. The visual tools he uses so closely relate to what he is teaching us about each aspect of the golf swing. BRAVO SHAWN!
