It is actually a toss up between "feet together drill" and this one; these 2 amaze my students every single day; they are gold! Shawn
Shawn- I have to tell you this is the tried and true method to fixing one's swing. I use this as the teaching video when people ask me how do I swing so well using one leg. I use your comments about the the washing machine, i mention the torque, and the best is when I show them how swinging on one foot makes one hit the same spot everytime. This is my anchor to making golf better by giving me a system to follow that works, thanks for the common sense approach to hitting a straight ball - Tim
Hi Makomark;
2 things:
1-Ball position should be back inside the left ankle
2-The left knee does not gain nor does it loose flex in the motion; it stays level;
Thanks for your comment! Shawn
No worries Shawn, thx so much for putting all the good stuff on youtube! The swing has changed my game tremendously (esp with more hip turn now) and my shot quality has never been better before. So, thanks again! Greetings from Singapore.
Golf is many things for many people; one major thing on people's minds is the way they look on the golf course; they don't want to be a target for criticism; others don't care and I have many students that continue to have success with this drill as they always have it as a back-up when things get a bit too loose; it is great to have options! Thanks for your comment and question! Shawn
The best golf lesson in the long and infamous history of golf lessons... your the best - Thanks Shawn!
Great!
Best lessons are learned and felt on your own! Kudos!
Shawn
I have played golf since 1952. Had a few lessons by people my size. (short, med wt) I have a good swing, and still hit the ball a long way. BUT !!!! At 73, I'm not consistent. You're tips have been a real asset to me. The tip with the driver, middle of stance, was the best. This leg tip is also a great one. Thank you !
Great stuff, love it, thank you
Yes! Just means the club face is open too much through impact...if you feel a nice whip through the ball then it is just a matter of closing the face more at address as the Grip-club face relationship is open in your case;
The "Golf Pro Lesson Braced tilt Part 2" has your medicine!! Shawn
@JAKEHARRIS281 The thing about preoccupation with ball contact, is it makes you forget the target and makes you ball bound which causes heeled shots as you are swinging out towards the ball; do a couple practice swings letting the tip of the tee be in the way of you whipping out towards your target; then place the ball there and focus on the tip of the tee in the way of the target bound action again!
I love this drill. I always had a big problem with my hips sliding and this drill finally solved it. Funny thing was that I knew about it when I got your DVD's almost 2 years ago but never gave it a shot. I tried it recently and I finally understood what it was like to rotate around my front leg. Thanks so much!
Your Welcome; and I am not surprised to hear that this concept was there before; it should have had a bigger voice! Now, through technology and a way better understanding of anatomy, neurology and You Tube, it will hopefully go farther! :) All the best, Shawn
Thanks Budimard! All the best to you! Shawn
Sounds like you had a nice breakthrough there!
Way to go!
Shawn
Brilliant. I will certainly work on this first
Correct! When you see all of the DVDs, you will see that this is the most sound way to swing the golf club; it works in harmony with physics, anatomy and neurology which saves you energy on the psychology in the long run; S&T cannot be as efficient in many situations such as ball below feet and uphill shots...Great of you to see the differences! Shawn
I like it! Thanks for the great answer! Shawn
Thank you again for asking! We are burning the masters as we speak and they are going into production late this week and they will be good to go in 7 to 10 days...God willing...You know how technology can be sometimes! :) Shawn
The ball position should be just inside the left ankle (about one ball width) and watch the distance between you and the ball, on one leg it will be closer;
Thanks for your comment pecky and keep hanging in there, Shawn
Awesome!
Thanks for that comment! and yes, it should be for all sports;
Shawn
There is 4 hours on 3 discs all filmed from scratch and all in priority sequence so that you can organize your thoughts and not miss anything important; then I also have a few lessons that are not on You Tube and the 3rd DVD has all shots executed on course from the driver to the putter...Shawn
I was at the range today having trouble finding my swing and remembered watching this video a few days past - wow what a difference it made .. all of the sudden I'm making solid contact, hitting straight etc.. I may do this on the first tee tomorrow just to see my friends reactions.. distance was not quite the same but i'll take 195 in the fairway over 230 out of bounds any day. Will check out your DVD.
Hi Jessie!
The key here is not shifting the centers in the swing; many golfers have the wrong perception of what a weight shift is; have a look at my "Golf Pro Lesson proper weight shift" video and you will understand; Shawn
You are welcome Tim!
Thanks for your comment!
Shawn
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier;
In many ways yes! It teaches you to clear without having to thrust off the right side and without giving up that precious brace; bluejfk has a great tip below and you can also use the feet together drill as well as the uphill shot situation to feel the correct clearing of the hips; the crucial mental focus to achieve this without thinking is in my latest vid: "golf pro lesson the insanity of golf"; Shawn
I was having an issue maintaining my proper spine tilt but i feel this drill really helps with that, thank you!
Thank you guys!
Shawn
2 things: Not stacked on the front leg and the back leg is too far back; it should just hang from the hip just like you see on the vid...:)
Thanks for the comment! Shawn
Thanks for the quick response. I'll check it out.
Shawn. One of your best videos. Thank you. Brian
Yes;
Have a look at my "Golf Pro Lesson swing Plane" and it will explain everything;
Shawn
Exactly! No reason why not! I did it in a qualifying event where it was raining cats and dogs all day and did very well with it in the muddy conditions...It was a very flat course and I easily qualified...You can have a look at the "One Leg back to 2; high and low shots" video to blend it in more if need be;
Shawn
I discovered this technique yesterday by accident. It really works and improves your shots. I was looking like a pro. Will be following your tutorials, religiously.
Hey Andre:
Sorry I did not see your comment before; very good question and here is the answer: Go to "Golf Pro Lesson 2008 Golf Swing Review" part 1 and 2 and I have both options which are up to the individual; the key is to have enough backswing to feel like you can whip the snot out of the club through the ball and towards the target...and I have many videos that pertain to the left heel coming up as a thing you want to do to feel the right timing in the swing;check "timing and tempo update"
Shawn
I am the rear leg amputee that has conversed with you via email. You said you would post a one legged swing for me and well it may not have been for me I do appreciate what I have seen. I will try this drill and see what results I can get.
Look forward to your dvd and I hope the contents will be published when it comes out.
Dave
@Siceone Check the date! This came out before I ever knew about S&T and it really is not the same thing at all; this is the real definition of what stacked is; not about fictitious centres but stacking the centre of gravity of your body properly and keeping a solid platform under the swing of the arm club unit. Shawn
There are a ton of factors here; grip and the way you hinge in the backswing are big ones; then you have the range of motion in your turn and the way you swing THROUGH THE BALL; I would go through the dvd and make sure all your ducks are in a row; then you can judge for yourself if that extra ten yards are in the cards; Shawn
Gracias Shawn desde Buenos Aires, you are very didactic!!
Sorry about that; it has been crazy here getting the DVD out;
A good one would be a combo between the "Golf Pro Lesson Fine Tuning the best drill" and "golf pro lesson Swing sequence" Start in your normal set-up, then bring your left foot to the right(feet together)with the club in front of you; then do a feet together backswing and step the left foot back to it's original position keeping your back to target well before you whip through ball...
@RoastinNY Thanks for the great comment!
Shawn
What a great video. I recently video taped my swing during a period of poor play. I was appalled to see how "soft" my left leg was...flexing forward during my downswing (causing me to dip down) and then lift up after straightening my leg. Blocked shots to the right. Used this drill and it made all the difference. Thx!
Apart from the DVD; see the "Golf Pro Lesson Tilted Spiral" part 1, 2 and 3; it is a great complement to this video;
Thanks for the question! Shawn
Great question!
When you bring your right foot back to flat, your centre of gravity changes and the weight distribution will change; have a look at the "Golf Pro Lesson Weight Shift" video for a better explanation as well as "Golf Pro Lesson transition"; Shawn
My reply to the stack and tilt can be seen in the " Golf Pro Lesson Stacked and Balanced" video; Thanks for the question!
Shawn
Hi and thanks for your comment! There is no trigger; just waiting for momentum to return and then riding or assisting momentum through the ball...like when you are pushing a child on a swing; you push on the way down after you have waited for momentum to return! :)
Shawn
I find super Job !!!
Thans for your Time and consideration !!!
All my best wishes for You.
What you need to do is make sure that you are not redlining your swing (swinging too hard with the driver) which is a common problem; play the ball a bit more forward and work on your tempo; see "golf pro lesson timing and tempo" and feel like you are swinging the driver like a smooth 7 iron; thank you for the question and comment! Shawn
@dschultz6072 Thank you for your nice post!
You should come talk to more of us on my forum! We have a great bunch of guys and gals who are on the same wavelength as you and it makes for terrific reinforcements! All the best for the Holidays and the New Year!
@paddy28101969 Hey Patrick; Thanks for the question; I respond to this in my DVD series and also use the downhill slope to make the same action for the feel of the brace against the left side in the swing; Best is make 4 shots on one leg to a specific target and feel the way you are unwinding around the inside of the left ankle; then hit 4 shots feet apart and feel the same thing; I have some nice drills to bridge the 2 in the DVD as well that are extremely helpful; Shawn
Hey Ricky!
Have a look at "one leg swing part 2 high and low shots" as well as combine this drill with the "golf pro lesson perpetual motion drill" and feel where your right leg needs to be in order for you to maintain exquisite balance throughout the motion; Shawn
Thanks for the question!
It is the feet together drill! You will find it on my website on my "you Tube Shawn" page with my other 105 videos...:)
Shawn
Hey and thanks for the comment!
This method is very good for a lot of people; what you need to watch for is to rotate your head in the same axis through the ball; maintain your tilt away from the target into a solid brace into your left side and you will straighten things out quickly! Have a look at my "Braced Tilt", Braced Tilt part 2 and "Proper Spine Tilt Angle" videos from the "You Tube Shawn" page of my website...Shawn
you have made some brilliant comments, well done.
Coming soon!
Shawn
thanx for your friends request ;-) i love the sun reflections on your stick very much !!! best greetings from Berlin, germany - from t...OM
this is the single most definitive game changer i have ever tried, i cannot thank you enough for this video and instruction, i was ready to quit and this video turned my game around, thank you again - tim
You are welcome and you are looking at one of the best together with My "Feet together drill" and my "perpetual motion drill"...you can use these for everything, every shot, in combination with each other etc...
My dvd is structured in a way to prioritize all of them...
Thanks for the question! Shawn
@josephforte I have taken a couple chandeliers out in my time! LOL!! Thanks for the comment! Shawn
Shawn. Just bought your video last
year and this was in it. Do you have a new set of Video's?
Shawn, this is a great drill. I was hitting some balls at the range tonight (conventionally); after a while I tired out and began having trouble locating a good swing..... This drill snapped me right out of that funk (although I still couldnt find my two-legged shot!)
Many thanks, this gives me hope.
Thanks again for your comment!
Have a look at my "Golf Pro Lesson Weight Shift" Video to make sure you are doing that right as well! Keeping the right leg under the swing is what you want to strive for; to keep it still is to risk not completing your backswing...
Shawn
The right foot will maintain it's position, which is hanging from the hip joint back and through; but it will feel very close to a conventional follow through...
Thanks for your question! Shawn
You can't hurt your swing by doing this drill too much so don't worry; just become aware of how much more centered you feel and how much more hip turn you have; the way to bring it back to 2 feet later is with the "Downswing weightshift" and "One leg back to 2" videos;
Also, if you have not seen my dvd yet, it is chock full of swings and drills to drive this point home for you! :) Glad you are enjoying it! Shawn
I have something coming very soon for you;
You will be able to do it from any leg or with 2...in the meantime, check out "Golf Pro Lesson Fine Tuning the Best Drill", "Golf Pro Lesson On the slopes" and look at the uphill shot...Shawn
Hey SBP;
I do have that video and many more that describe the strong feeling you should have in the swing; "Leverage Power", "Hogan Power Move", "Hogan Power Drill", "Stretch for a better hip turn" etc..all are on the "you tube Shawn" page of my website. All the best! Shawn
Interesting drill, and well presented. Do you know of anyone using the one-leg swing in all their golf?
Hey Jason;
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier; just so freakin busy these days! :) They are not at odds because of the change in centre of gravity; see the "One Leg Part 2 High and low shots" as well as the "Golf Pro Lesson on the slopes" which will really help to balance out the swing! Shawn
Of course my DVD will clear up a whole host of your questions in the priority sequenced 4 hours!
Welcome!
@bigdeebigdee,
The good results you're experiencing doing the one leg drill are because you are maintaining a consistent centre allowing you to swing without manipulation to the target. Have a look at "Golf pro lesson Tilted Twirl".
-Matt Blois

Thanks ! See "golf pro lesson through the ball"; you will see in minute 6 my 2 ball drill where you hit both in the air with the same swing; Shawn
Great stuff as usual. If this is the second best drill what do you feel was the best. I know it's probably somewhere in the vids but I missed it. Thanks !
I will have a secure site with the TD Bank and will be accepting VISA, MC, AM EX, and a version of Pay Pal; so no issues...and thanks for the kind words, very appreciated! Shawn
They will be closed; or already in the backswing; impact will be a different story though!
Thanks for the nice comment and question! Shawn
the key here with the arms is to feel like you are giving the control completely to gravity; check "golf pro lesson perpetual motion drill" and "golf pro lesson swing plane" to get that drift; then go to "Golf Pro Lesson Timing and tempo update"; I would highly recommend you get my DVD as it will show you step by step how to get to the full feel of this technique without missing anything important...
Thanks for the question! Shawn
I am coming out with another video that will explain and will combine with high and low shots; I expected this comment and will comply;
Thank you for your great comment;
Stay tuned! Shawn
Great question!
Don't worry about the perfect shot; you should find it easy to hit a draw with the one leg drill and closer to straight with feet together; solid contact would be good too! :)
You should not hit fades unless they are intentional;
Shawn
Denada Amigo!
Buenos Dias from Toronto!
(Hope I spelled it right!):)
You are in a beautiful place over there!
I know; great huh!
To progress, go to the "Tilted Spiral" part 1, 2 and 3 series and see the "Golf Pro Lesson learn your golf machine" as well as the "Golf Pro lesson be a solid ball striker"
If you don't have the dvds yet; I strongly recommend to get the whole picture...Shawn
Hi Shawn. I think I am finally getting the feeling of the arms falling during the downswing. When I am doing this drill and the feet together drill, one of the primary causes of my failure to maintain balance is over swinging with the arms and upper body using muscular force. If I try and swing hard with my arms, their forward momentum forces my body to move away from the target, and I lose balance. When my arms are passive, I am more easily able to keep the stacked feeling you describe.
thanks for this. although I didnt actually swing off one leg I used the idea of putting more weight on my left and this let me pull my right hip back more.
That forced me to clear my hips on the downswing and i was making terrific contact and getting great ball flight at the range today. i wasnt hitting them fat like i tend to do, but im still putting too much draw on the ball. with a 6 iron i push it out right about 20 yards and then it floats back to the dead center. thanks for the tips!
Hi Andre; thanks for the question and comment!
Yes you can use this with the driver; just play the ball a bit more forward in the stance and that is it! When you perfect this drill you will bomb the driver! And my DVD is already shipping if you are asking about an order for yourself; just go to the "My DVD" page of my website listed in the description of all my videos; All the best! Shawn
Yes; you will find the "Downswing Weightshift" and "sequence Power Drills" videos on my "you tube Shawn" page on my website to bring this feel to your feet apart swing...
Thanks for the great comment and question; Shawn
Hey great comment and question! The one leg drill just makes it more difficult to do uphill shots; if you play on a flat course you will have no issues and can play with this drill and very well as you found out; To round out your game you want to feel the leverage from the right side and practice the uphill shots using the "Leverage Power" video; then blend it together with the "Tilted Spirale" and the "Downswing Weightshift"...But if your swing feels out of sorts, go back to this drill here!
Now that you are more centered, you just need to work on width in the swing in both the backswing and downswing; see the "golf pro lesson timing and tempo update" video for this;
Thank you for the great comment! Shawn
Who Knows?
For the time being, I am truly enjoying speaking to you through this amazing technology;
Shawn
Hello Shawn, I have seen a lot of golf instruction and you are one of the best out there. Thanks for your work. Question: When pivoting off of my left leg only, like in your demonstration, my ball striking in excellent, however, when incorporating a weightshift from right leg to left I find myself slicing the ball way too often. Is it a change of axis issue or swing plane issue or something else? Help! Your comments are welcome. Thx
Hey Ray;
Sometimes it is just a matter of reinforcing the "Home Base" of the swing which is the finish position; see "golf pro lesson finish position" and make this your practice for the next week; great question! Shawn
great drill,,,i wonder what is mr clement's trigger for the downswing? i like his fluid, dynamic motion of the hips, quite different from some other schools where the hips are pinned to create the x factor. interesting stuff...
Since the foot print that you stand on is from the arch outward, it is OK to have the end result on top of this with the foot rolling slightly to the outside, but if you start feeling strain on the hip and the ankle, you are outside of the boundaries of support;
Hope this helps! Shawn
@Siceone Its just an old drill to get great compression and proper impact position. It's a very old drill. My dad was doing it in the 1970's.
Hey Shawn, this is a great video. I've also seen your video on getting through the ball. I've tried implementing this at the range and it works great but the strange thing is it hasn't carried over to when I use 2 legs. I make excellent contract through the ball on 1 leg but only 1/3 of the time do I make solid contact using both legs. I'm not sure if I'm just not getting through the ball or not bracing on my left side correctly. Too bad I can't swing 1 legged all the time : D
Thanks a lot this has really helped me stop my side to side sway. Now my only big problem left is getting overanxious and rushing. Feeling that perfect practice swing then thinking it is going to be fantastic lifting my eyes up to soon. My main problem is i cannot hit through the ball and divot after the ball.
Hi Shawn, great videos and tips far and away the best I have seen, can I ask you regarding the one leg drill can I ask you , regarding practising this do you recommend just hitting one legged shots in practise then normal stance on course or a bit of both in practise and on the course? many thanks Patrick in the UK
Shawn, I have an order in progress for the DVDs but have already looked at tilted spiral....It feels pretty comfortable and good transition from one leg drill. Its making sense to me now. One question - Why do people suggest you are teaching stack & Tilt? It doesn't appear to be anything like that?
Of Course! You can check out all the rates at golflearningcentre dot com which is the website for our learning centre;
Shawn
Nothing prevents you from playing this way; many have adopted this way of playing; they key though is to feel that your weight pressure stays in the inside of the left ankle during the whole motion and your right leg is there as a counter balancing unit; otherwise, it is a key aspect of the downswing of the full swing to feel;
Thanks for the comment;
Shawn
Thanks for this brilliant advice. I've been nailing them so good with this exercise, and feeling the power in my swing so well, I'm wondering why I shouldn't just try it on the course at my next tournament. I'll look like a freak, but if I just keep my right leg in position (just for looks -- to look somewhat normal), it could work. Is this a stupid thought? Why not just use the exercise in real play, assuming you're on a relatively flat surface? Thanks again.
You have no clue man. His teaching has transformed my game and helped many others. To me, this is the best drill i have ever tried and tested.
That shot looked solid to me. You owe him an apology!
