Ernest Jones had the best analogy at the time and it still holds true today; the pen knife and the handkerchief; which we translated to ball on a string. You take any object and tie it to a string and twirl it; you will experience a nice G force pulling on the object that is tied and you will feel how your arm reacts to that pull to keep the object going; this is the feel you want to have at the end of that driver head; and the center point is the spot between your clavicles called the sternal notch. So use the ball on the string to clip the tip of the tee on the way up and into the direction you want to start the flight of the ball like I show you here and enjoy smoking that driver like you knew you could!

Greetings from Nottingham in the UK Shawn, After finding your channel the other night, I find your videos extremely easy and simple to follow. I love your simple teaching method, its no nonsense and to the point :) I went to my local driving range today and tried the see the blur and intermediate point keys together and things featured in this video and for the first time I found I was finding the middle of every club in my bag. It was really fun. Tiny draws and Fades with all my irons and all very straight. A couple of mishits but two balls later back hitting straight shots again. I was even finding the middle of Driver face with ease. I discovered however with my Driver (Nike Covert) I need more loft which I can manage with the wrench tool ^_^ (I tweeted a picture to you of my results after the session in which I used foot powder spray to show impact) Thank you so much for the epic videos and making my golf Fun. Good Golf :)
Right on David! So happy you are enjoying the content! Thank you for the great comment and feedback! Shawn
Why has it taken me OVER 4 yrs to find your series of videos ? You're the ONLY one out there not only explaining , but changing the mindset / getting the student to ask themselves simple questions in their quest to , then producing the shot/action to achieve their goals . More so , your instructional videos , especially the ones with student Anna seeking to improve her game , are just as pertinent to those of use taking up the "past time " seriously . No editing , just pure unadulterated footage ( accident with mouse included ) to ensure that the experience is as real as it gets . Many thanks . We could all do with a "virtual Shawn Clement " in our ear every time we approach the tee ( NOT the ball ) asking us "what is it that you want to do , what is this particular goal to achieve in front of you ? )
every time I watch your videos I get something new out of them.
Interesting stuff Shawn. I’ve been a high effort “switter,” my entire golfing life, and pretty long for my age. Been working on this concept for the last few days. Still not quite there with the distance or consistency, but much appreciate that this will extend my golfing life (much less stress on the back and shoulders).
Hey shawn I just started following you not to long ago...I've seen millions of you tube videos on golf and Yours was one of the best videos I've ever seen love your whipping the club never new I had that much speed in my golf swing...I had surgery on my left knee...can you show me more of a arms and release swing with some power behind it..thanks Your new friend Rob...

The long rope really helped me understand why the driver feels so much flatter. Also why (for me) it doesn't work to try to keep my hands high. Really appreciating your wisdom! Cutting the dandelion has saved my golf swing...no more thought demons!!
This is the single most important lesson I need at my stage with driver. I love the ball on the string demo, it gives a visual to the mystical swing plane otherwise unseen. Bobby Jones said clearly he didn't look at the ball but was only aware of it's location. This made me believe he had a spot behind the ball for target. This helped me for hitting up on the ball but caused early extension. Thanks for your insight and detailed lessons.
Very good! See the blur of this arc go well through the tip of the tee and over the intermediate point and into the direction you want to start the ball with a nice full whipping release. This will squash the early release!
Great point Shawn. 307 total yards/ 113 swing speed = 2.71 driver efficiency. Plus low spin rate. Completely inline with Callaway Epic driver. Excellent technique and lesson on the physics of modern driver swing. Thanks!,
Thank you for your great nod of approval! We take a lot of pride in doing our work and ongoing research!
Very interesting concept Shawn. Love how you use simple physics exemples to illustrate your point. You, Sir, deserve two thumbs up! I'll try to set some time for a lesson next time I am in the QC area!
Thank you mon Frère! 👍😀
Quebec city is the latest bucket list destination; a definite wow place to get wow golf instruction!😎
@@golflessons I had a two hour lesson from Shawn last October and it 100% changed the way I approach the game. Looking forward to getting out and playing now once the snow disappears and getting a refresher lesson in QC and playing the Royal Quebec courses. He is the best teacher of the game on the planet and keeps things very simple yet very very effective.
Best instructor on CZcams
Thanks for the specifics on the intermediate point. I have always used one but it was farther away. Having it closer makes so much sense in terms of sending the energy toward the target.
A lot of research went into that one!! From Ophthalmologists to Pilots to a stadium full of students!!
@@golflessons Wow! That's cool!
300 with such a short take away. Love it.
It just dawned on me that Shawn could break some long drive records--from the left and right sides--as he enters into his 60s. His club speed to effort ratio should sustain his distances for years to come. I've recently adopted many of his ideas and I'm not only hitting the ball longer, but I also feel physically fine after a round. I'm in my 40s and I feel better after golfing now than I did in my 30s. (I sweat less too.) Thanks for that Shawn.
Yes!!! I want to have the record for shooting my age the most frequently and the longest in the Guinness book of world records! 😀👍
One the best videos Shawn 👍. Been watching your bids for a few years now even bought your download videos which I lost 🙈. But I still struggled with the game and made the biggest mistake and took lessons which he totally changed my swing and messed my golf up really bad. I’m back working on your methods and playing half decent golf back. In the 80 ,s. There’s no quick fix and you got to put the time in but your methods are spot on. Thanks Shawn 👍

Shawn, sincere thanks! Just can't believe such simple swing thoughts and setup produce so much more! I'm seeing Dramatic improvement and it's effortless! Really can't thank you enough. Will be joining your paid program soon.
Right on JS! You will enjoy it!😀👍
I'm playing golf about 5 years,always my drives are problem,never mange it with proper control, first thing tomorrow i will try this in range and see if its simple as you show,hope will work for me,i will definitely share my comments afterwards. thank you
I've been watching your videos a lot lately and this is another great addition! I was hitting near the toe more lately after adjusting my swing from applying what I learned from your techniques and couldn't get it near the hosel to shank it even if I wanted to.. and your explanation made me realized that I may actually be doing something right .. I may be releasing more toward the target now rather than the ball because I'm drawing the ball with the driver now (used to hitting a fade) but couldn't figure out last week why I keep hitting in on the toe.. your experience in this video is totally relateable and how a little adjustment in your distance from the ball makes total sense.. I'll try it again at the range.. Thank you for sharing all your Wisdom!
Thank you and good stuff Sieg!
Great videos your target intention has improved my game. I've noticed that hovering the club slightly with the hosel in the swing arc has made an improvement in hitting center of the clubface. I was getting a lot of toe hits if I put the club behind the ball on the club center in the arc.
Right on Vic! Nice to know where the arc is going to be huh!? 😀👍
I'm having the smae problem. Lot's of toe hits. Moving closer to the ball doesn't really help with consistancy. I would hazard a guess that you are not in the right place when you start the downsing, coupled with releasing the whip too early. These are the two things that are helping me.
I can't seem to get this to work for me, but I hit my driver using your daughter's hands forward approach with decent results, I use the same setup for irons & driver, hands forward I get solid strikes
Good stuff! Stay with what works! They are both good! We both have a positive angle of attack with the driver of 7 to 10 degrees, so it’s all good!
With these numbers have you considered the senior tour?
amazing stuff Shawn! Wish I could duplicate that exact swing LOL~
Thank you Mel; and yes, the ability to do the same or better is right there for you! See “pefect and automatic shawn clement” video for the “duplicate” part of your comment; it is a COMPLETE GAME CHANGER (and see how long ago I did that video 👍)
Thanks! @@golflessons
Great video Shawn. I like your ideas!!
That's interesting. I've never lined up my club in the middle of my stance. I've done the slight tilt, ball forward, but i always put the club right behind the ball.
Shawn - are you suggesting that for starters, we should address the ball about a foot behind in order to bottom out and catch ball on the up swing? This would resemble a feature of the Moe Norman swing.
Correct! All my driver swing videos have this feature; it is essential for good driving! See “91 % fairways hit lifetime average shawn clement” and “high draw driver shawn clement” and “great driver tip shawn clement” and “rip the driver shawn clement”
Hi Shawn, thank you very much for this video. Can you explain further when you say "going twice above the height of the trees"? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Sam
Take the tree line; add another tree line on top and hit the shot above that line!
Loving this instruction, thank you
Hi Shawn, i have you seen hitting draws mainly. Do you have your clubface square at impact or is it a little closed because you are hitting the ball after you reached your lowest point ?
Power fades are equally as effective as the draw I am hitting; see “power fade with a strong grip shawn clement”
I had a question about ball position and was referred to this video and to see if I understand is most shots start in the center of the stance. Shot shape determines final placement. So now does your stance adjust to your intended swing path? Because I have had a tendency to draw/hook the ball and in many cases the ball ends up left
See “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement” as this sounds like you are talking about in general…here with driver, the ball is well forward of centre…
Thanks very much again Shawn. Does releasing after the ball as you are encouraging us to do mean there is greater clubhead speed at the ball? If so, I had not appreciated this and of course it seems counter intuitive to releasing before the ball, as I and many others do! Regards Ian
At the ball=30 yards less
Through the ball and AT THE TARGET=30 YARDS MORE!!
A slow motion video of your swing would be appreciated- Great job , thanks
Radical way of thinking, indeed. Hardest thing for me to do over the last 20+ years, trying to swing UP with the driver. best I've ever been able to do make level contact. Spent an entire bucket the other day working on this and "center strike," and managed to hit a few up, with a LOT of "sky'd" shots, which, according to this video, means my swing was obviously bottoming out too far forward!
Might sound funny, but when occasionally "drop kick" one, bouncing the driver off the ground behind the ball, it ALWAYS goes dead straight, high and down the middle. THAT'S where the bottom of my swing arc belongs, just not on the ground!
Exactly Joe! And why do you think that is happening?? BECAUSE YOU ARE GIVING UP ON THE TASK! Stay with through tip of tee 2 tree lines up!!
Thanks Shawn. How do I recreate the move from 3.47 -3.51. After the squat and tilt @ 3.46, I didn't understand the back swing starting @3.47. Are you lifting the club? You know, in traditional setup/swing. they ask you take the club at ground level for a foot or so, with your left hand thru the hip level and move up to the top. In this video, I am curious how the hands are moved from low to high. I am losing the strength and hitting the ground just off-of the right foot in the down swing. Please help.
An important right of passage in golf is the club throw; see “throw the club straight shawn clement” and find a nice open field somewhere safe you can practice this skill! Then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and put your body part positioning thinking to rest as we don’t work this way as humans on this planet; you are already Pinocchio without the strings; you cannot do anything wrong; you are a perfect learning machine built for ultimate self preservation. Enjoy!
So considering that the driver impact is several inches past what it would be for say a mid iron shot, and also considering that with the driver your hands stay behind the ball at impact, does this mean that your driver grip should not be a strong as for shorter clubs in order to square the clubface at the point of impact ( collection) ?
Everyone is different; see “predict perfect contact and direction shawn clement”
So what do you focus on when your club is so far behind the ball - are you still focusing on the grass spot to the right of the ball like you would if you had a wedge??
You can; as long as your eyes stay in one place and you PREDICT that the sole of the club will flick the tip top of the tee on the way up when you swing in the direction you want to start the ball! Or in my case, my eyes are on the tee portion and I am making the same prediction.
@@golflessons I see so basically you have to adjust that focus point as your clubs get longer and longer
At the address position. Where do you look? At the tip of the tee?
Yes, the tee; but you will see a pretty amazing series coming up on our premium channel where we give another option of where to place the eyes!
Hi Shawn - both yours and Savannahs grips (on another video of yours) are much stronger than mine and I do tend to slice the ball with the driver. I guess this is something I need to address ? (no pun intended)
This ball on a string concept is the exact reason I went from a 45.5” driver to a 43.5”. The longer club I felt i really had to swing flat and around my body. Was harder for me to hit “up” on the ball. The shorter club I feel like I’m swinging a bit more upright and it’s really easy to hit the ball with an upward attack angle. Hitting it much more solid and gained like 20 yards because I had better launch conditions.
That is awesome!! Way to go and fantastic realization!!
Same for me. I am 5ft 7 in tall and realised that my driver needed to be 43 ins. Standard drivers are too long and I believe even tall pros use shorter non standard shafts. I now have more smooth momentum rather playing with long pole on no feel.
LOL!!! Mom always told me not to swing the club in the house or I would break something. When my driver is going bad I'm always trying to fit the arc of the swing to where I'm standing to the ball. That is probably why I hit under it so much. I have to let the driver swing and let it feel where it wants to go naturally and then move into the ball. Stand a little farther away and let gravity do it.
Lol! I know! I have one chandelier, one ceiling dent, 2 holes in the wall for my parents growing up!😝😀👍 who has better??
It seems like you are teeing the ball on the outside of the left foot. True?
Camera angle; typically it is on the lead heel on average. Also, ball position must fit the height of the shot intended and the tee height as well needs to be matching with that.
Shawn, in one of your other videos (irons) you advocate a strong grip. Is this the case with the driver?
You bet! But depends on the model and the person; sometimes you need stronger and sometimes weaker; depends on whether it is draw biased or not...
Love your instructions Shawn excellent tuition could you tell me if I'm right in thinking that when I'm swinging with every club bar the putter and small chips I feel like I'm sitting on a stool and polishing the seat with my butt ? . The other thing I'm trying to do is visualizing a nail through the ball to help fading and drawing my shots and this helps loads
I have a video that explains this drill is full detail; it is an oldie but goodie!
See “hogan Power Drill shawn clement” and see “hogan Power drill part 2 shawn clement” after that for more polish and power!!
Thanks for getting back to me Shawn can relate to both videos and the extra power this technique gives you is awesome I've gained 25 yards with driver and use at least a club less going into greens keep up the good work and the oldies are Goldie's 👍
Shawn, Were are you looking at when you swing the driver. at the back of the ball or the low point of the arc
Hello- I have enjoyed your videos both on CZcams and for purchase. One question that you may have addressed but I can't seem to find is hand depth. At the top your hands appear to be between your right shoulder and your neck.Other swing methods advocate a different backswing with much greater hand depth- over the right shoulder or even slightly behind. Have you produced any videos that explain the differences and why you advocate your approach? Thanks.
Hi Leonard! The question is, which position in the backswing allows you to deliver through the ball and into the direction you want to start the ball more effectively? See “how to match your backswing to target shawn clement”
EVERYTHING ELSE IS FLUFF!!!
Thank you for your tip. But I would like to understand more about the smash. How to create the smash in the golf swing? What are the key skills to get the more smash
Phạm Tùng smash factor is improved by consistently hitting the center of the face or sweet spot, whichever you prefer. That’s all smash factor is, if your smash factor is low, you’re likely hitting it all over the face. Hitting it all over the face is usually caused by swinging too hard relative to your balance.
Dear Mr. David Costen. Thank you so much for your nice reply. Now I understood why my factor smash is still low and know how to increase the smash factor. I have been swung slowly (about 70 % of my usual power) today at the range. The result is better. I do hope that my smash factor will be improved a little bit higher. Looking forward to your another tip. Best regards.
You’re very welcome. Get some face tape, they’re little stickers that stick on the club face, the ball will make an impression with every strike which will give you a visual reference. The human mind is an amazing thing, once it gets feedback it’s very often capable of figuring things out all by itself on a subconscious level. Rhythm and tempo are more important than anything else in the golf swing (once you have good mechanics and a good setup.) Watch the tour pros on television, they have tremendous balance, that’s how they can swing so fast and yet it looks effortless.
With an very easy swing I strike my driver very straight maybe a little draw, about 150. Adding muscle to hit a big one I always look for power and incorporate shoulders and look out over the top and pull hook. Hard to avoid.

great video shawn. just to confirm for a lefty:
Draw: ball slightly back of center, alignment directly on target, aiming for left edge of intermediate point
Fade: ball slightly front of center, aiming for right edge on intermediate point
is this correct?
Thanks!
Correct; but don’t forget that your aim for a fade is right of target too!
You make it look easy, I need lessons, can’t watch a video and take it to the course, not sure what I’m doing wrong but can’t drive over 240, something in my transition isn’t write, don’t feel comfortable at at then don’t have good extension through the ball
I’m unleashing at the ball like you described at the end and can’t find a feel for releasing toward the target.
@@blakeepperson3902 what you want to do is get task oriented; one of the best ones is the “throwing the club” so see all our “throwing the club shawn clement” videos and then see all the videos on “release shawn clement” and see how they relate! Then see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement”
Great video shawn! If tilting to hit up is required, will level shoulders help us with lower, more penetrating drives for into the wind holes?
Sandy...you are thinking body parts again!! What position with ball and club face do you need to release at the height you need to hit? See “best lesson I ever got from Moe norman shawn clement”
Shawn Clement guilty as charged! Keep falling and into that default mode of thnking.
Hello Shawn
You are a great cowboy 😅😅
Just on question: when do you make the pump ??
Happy New year!!

You make it look so easy but when I hit my driver it only goes 75yards lol...
Shawn great videos! I just used the weed wacker video, to radically change my swing. I just took it to the golf course and the guys I was playing with said wow you really can hit irons great. Well, yes thanks to Shawn Clement. This video I noticed your club starting point is well back of the ball. Like Moe Norman did? It seems the pros today place the driver right behind the ball. Do you play like in your video? I have had problems with hitting up, now I know how to do it thanks to you. What is happening to my 3 fairway shots (metal) is they always go low? I know you're not watching my swing but my mental picture is off or something, not sure what to do? Hit down, hit up, hit level? I took the hybrid out of the bag, just mentally not the right picture and got a three-iron. Thanks again
307 yards 💥💥
Man he makes it looks so easy. I dislocate my hip every drive and only hit it 250 max.
do you use the same closed face technique/grip with driver as with the irons?
Yes and No!! Driver is a different animal and it depends how draw biased it is! ALWAYS DELIVER TO THE TARGET FIRST, then see hiw it flies and make adjustments based on that and not based on your irons! Also, the face of the driver is bowed and looks more open than it actually is and messes with the eyes.
@@golflessons thanks for that.
Good
Hey Shawn! With the driver the ball on the string is less vertical, is that the same for a 3w? If I'm trying to hit a draw do I move the ball back in my stance a little?
Not as much as the irons Joseph; remember that it starts with the flight plan and then the set up has to match that flight plan. See “ball position bible shawn clement” on youtube and the “fairway wood” video on premium. Shawn
when you say gravity do you mean centrifugal forces
G Forces; yes!
That first seem like a swing for a 300+ at all sorry but u must of put it on a different hyper extra where the ball flight says it’s 300 but the point ur making is true ! just don’t believe the amount of speed and distance there at all lol
It is all real and true George! Best machine out there and I have always been top 3 longest hitters in all the areas I have lived and played...it just looks slower on video.
Why don't you come and play the senior British open..ill caddy! Peace friend
What’s that software called?
Foresight Sports; GC Quad is the unit and FXS is the software;

Shawn Clement thanks
Shawn Are there any slow motion videos of your swing online?
Yes, see “swing vision slow motion shawn clement”
One of the most ugly swings on youtube LOL, but looks like it works. So how do you have your weight distribution? Favouring the front foot? Like 40-60? Why do you almost stop at the top? Does it help you hit it better/longer?
You have a very funny way of asking questions; everything I do has a very specific purpose and yes, much longer and more accurate to the tune of 115 MPH at cruising speed for a 54 year old.
@@golflessons so more weight on the front foot when hitting drives?
@@mangelarsson7774 show us your swing.
