im going golf in a minute trying this lol.
Hey John; sorry for not responding earlier, busy season going on!
You need a very soft ball like a pro V and very clean and sharp grooves on your clubs (They sell groove sharpeners at Golf Smith) and the ability to strike down and through like in the “Golf Pro lesson compress through the ball” and “golf pro lesson contact and spin” videos; Take care! Shawn
WOW bluejfk your life must FKin ace thanks for sharing that with us all…a 9 handicap and a hot cuban wife….u must be that tosser at the club that everyboby body swerves, dont confuse your mental age with your G handicap. GREAT VIDS CLEM VIDS
Yes, and the same with a baseball bat; gravity will determine the pop if you let it; see my “golf pro lesson taut swing philosophy” video for more info;
Thanks for the comment! Shawn
Don’t forget to put the 2 infront of the 9
I love your videos! When you do the perpretual motion here you mention “pops”. Will that be the same when you do it with a driver or fairway wood?
Dear clemshaw,
Im 14 and fairly new to all these terms you use although i’m pretty decent at playing because I had lessons when I was younger. Even though I never kept playing golf after these lessons after picking the club up again it comes back to me. Anyway I’m going golfing with my freinds this week and I have one question. You Might’ve explained already but like I said I new to golf so it confused me. I would like to know tips on how shoot the ball it spins back at the hole.
Great story! I am glad she is doing well!
When my wife was a 10 handicap before the kids, I would have to work very hard to stay ahead as she was one of my toughest opponents! She would kill me on the par 3s and force me to birdie all the time; she even beat me to getting a hole in one 7 years before I made my first one…:) Shawn
Why should I get a a girlfriend when I have a f’n hot cuban wife???? She did commercial work for Univision in the ’80s
Actually, Shawn’s teachings have helped her more than me. She used to sweep the ball girly style and now she can drive it 225-230( we are working on strait.) When you are a curvy cuban woman with a big muscular butt and learn Shawns methods it is scary how much distance she gained. As long as her putting stroke is still under constuction I am not in danger of losing!!
But I am a wanker with a 9 handicap thanks to Shawn!!!
yep you are a wanker blurjfk
What I am trying to say is that all of this bs about hitting down on the ball is totall nonsense. With a good swing and proper balance your GOG will be infront of the ball at inpact and you will naturaly hit the ball first in the downward portion of your swing. The apex of the downswing is now ahead of the ball and you simple have no choice but to hit ball first then ground. It just happens.
When you tell some one to hit the ball first then their focus is on hitting the ball……..
All shots! Every shot from the fairway is DOWN AND THROUGH;
Thanks for the question! Shawn
All fine and dandy; well said! Although I find the vast majority of golfers who cast too soon do this mainly because they don’t know the feel yet and that the focus defaults to the ball because the instincts are distracted by a conscious mind trying to tell it what to do. Once the instincts or the cerebellum knows how THROUGH THE BALL FEELS, then the only conscious effort is to recall the feel to a specific target out to the fairway or the green; then the COG will be positioned properly…
Shawn. In my opinion the bottom “apex” on an effortless golf swing follows your center of gravity. You swing up on the driver because your center of gravity is behing the ball since the ball is forward. Yout club comes down on the ball in your irons becuase your COG is infront of the ball when you make contact and all of this happens naturally.
If I cast too soon the weight of my swing is going into the ground and not toward the target and my COG gets stuck behind the ball.
excellent video just like the rest of them
would you recommend this on all shots onto the green using irons/wedges? or just wedges?
get a fucken tan
Shawn. Bought your set of Videos. They have already helped me as I am just getting back into golf. Between Tennis and Work I just dont have enough time to work on your drills. And Adidas makes the best shoes I have ever worn. Barricades for Tennis and the Powerband for golf. The support is unreal.
Good point!
Here I am using a 7 iron; divot should be 1/4 inch deep and about 4 to 6 inches long…about 1/2 inch per club from there…shorter as clubs get longer…
Shawn
Shawn Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Sir would it be possible to a snippet on how much divot to take with certain irons or at least say which club you are using at the time of your drills. TYVVM
Damn. You make it look easy. I’m going to try this out tomorrow on a couple hundred balls and see what happens!
I found that golf ball you hit into the bushes, can I get it autographed Shawn?
