Probably the best golf weight shift video ever. Not exaggerating.

61 year old women 4 years ago I watched your video on driving the ball.I drive it 210 consistently. Thank you!❤

perfect explanation - you're the king of one takes!

The idea of counterbalancing arms in backswing by moving butt toward target and then shifting from behind and forward in the transition might just be in the top three most valuable pieces of golf instruction I’ve ever received. Thanks Shaun!

This is the video I needed. Showing how the weight transferhappens to the back makes the Swing feel so natural. Love it. Thank you sensei!

I still have the video when you showed this to me in Charlotte, NC many many years ago. Still relevant today; amazing how many are now on the “bandwagon” Cheers

I have to say that I love KZfaq videos. They allow me to feel enriched about my experience with golf. I think the only way to get very good at golf , is to have an abundance of feelings for the golf swing. Your illustration of a bowel controlled movement in the golf swing is precious.

Done this for 30 minutes or so today.... genuinely could not believe the consistency and how easy the swing felt. Can not wait to be able to practice it more.

The "squat" in the downswing to engage ground forces in the swing is explained well as a result of the task of throwing the club toward the target and not a separate task to be performed which would distract from the necessary focus on throwing the club toward the target. Very good clarification.

Great video! When focused on the ball, so easy to forget opening/turning the hips on the backswing.

Wow !your explanation on movement makes its so much more clearer. Thx

Your cut the grass and throw to the target is an awesome training move! MUCH Appreciation!!

Going to try this had trouble the last 18 months clearing my hips. Been sliding hips and presenting extra loft. Changed to stronger grip 6 months ago now gonna try this in the garden 👍👍👍 thanks

Shawn, great video, just great explaining the weight shift!!!!

Great video. You make it sound so easy. Can't wait to try it out as I need all the pointers I can get. Thanks.

I posted a longer comment on your newest video, but I have found that in my downswing, if I literally feel like I am looking at the target BEFORE I strike the ball, everything comes together without me thinking about anything!! I just focus on the TARGET!!!

Finally got it together Shawn. The syncing of the hands and ground stabilization. Makes a world of difference. I'm a new fan of your method

This!! More than anything else, reminding myself of this initiation of the downswing corrects a previous bad shot at the range. For me, it is absolutely key. Thanks for the reminder, Shawn!

Another fabulous video . When we fall into the left I feel that squat that you talked about awhile back.

Excellent instruction Shawn... as always!

Your videos have been such a great help! Thanks for all the tips!

Another great video! Shawn is the best, no comparison!

Good job on explaining the weight shift as if throwing at an intermediate point 👍

I watched this video last night and it made real sense. I played today and tried to implement these instructions. The result fantastic ball striking and my buddies commented on my commitment to the shots. I did hit some a little fat , BUT on the whole my ball striking dramatically improved. Thanks so much Shawn 👏👏

Wow! This finally clicked for me after watching Alex Forte “ The Art of Simple Golf” and his video on keeping your back to the target a little longer at the start of the downswing. This brought me back to this video of Shawn's ..keeping my back turned to the target for just that split second longer allowed for what Shawn is explaining here to happen. BAM! The club head just crushed the ball again and again, super compressed. Many Thanks to both of you golf geniuses! Mike.

I just watched this and wow ! Like other comments. It just clicked. I showed my son and wife . I believe this is the best description to the down swing for a beginner . Thanks a lot for the video !!

I’ve learned through my coach this is critical move. Very important concept 👍🏻

Always awesome my man. Keep it up:

Great video Shawn. You are the best educator of golf on KZfaq. Saw your collab with Golf Test Dummy today which was great.

Great instruction, spot on.

i love your videos, shawn !!! always fixing my swing .loves from argentina

This is an incredibly simple explanation of a complicated athletic move. Thank you for your generosity in coaching.

One of the best videos yet! Amazing!

Wohoo! Let's go!

Great stuff right here Shawn and just prior to 3 minute mark I was setting here screaming to myself, "Yessssss, exactly what Moe used to describe and say he felt like he was setting down", he also said he used to practice setting down in that position club held out at 9 o"clock position looking straight on at him, said he would sometimes stay in that position for what seemed like 5 minutes.....and he would spring off towards target from his back leg to where he knew his legs got wider apart through impact! I was just studying and looking back at the late Ernest Jones, who also was a huge proponent of the "Task" at hand and allowing the body to know subconsciously how to produce the swing! He was also big on seeing the picture in the mind of where you wanted ball to go and the more we focus on that, the more the body subconsciously works on our bodies to produce the desired outcome! Same things you share in your teachings.... I just left a comment including your channel on a comment under an Ernest Jones video letting another troubled golfer know about you and the channel! Wish I knew exactly which video Moe talks about that in....he goes into detail more so than any other time about the transition etc....great video as always here Shawn!

I've been been having a problem with weight shift this past year as a 79 year old. It used to happen pretty much naturally but not anymore. Just made a few swings here in the house and what a difference!! Can't wait to take it to the course. Just great. Thanks so much.

Hello Shawn, tried it "air" style in my living room. Feels good and obvious indeed! Great advice as always. Bravo for your consistent eloquence :)

Great material as usual. The paint brush was golden.

this video is a Hall of Fame classic. When I copied exactly what you are doing my power and accuracy took a quantum leap. Thanks again.

Best coach on the planet!!!

I've always had a hard time with my weight transfer. You made me understand where I was making a mistake. I wasn't turning my body early enough. I was actually starting my turning of the body after I had set my club to my waist instead of right away starting to turn my body at the beginning of my backswing.

Needed this video today!

I have to say I have tried to figure out the best way for me to get my hips to turn more in the transition. But your teaching philosophy has given me a practical and non-thinking approach. A natural way to execute the golf swing. I have been working on your tips and drills. Thanks to our teachings I can now do the walking drill ( which I could never do before smoothly ). Again a work in progress. I have to figure out how to keep my hands from getting too squirrelly during the drill.

shawn, some good ideas for us there, thnx.

I've just tried this in the kitchen with no club im clearing my hips with out thinking of turning thats interesting 🤔 can't wait to try it

Awesome!

Dear Shawn, phantastic video and it is great you are like the brother from Steve Martin. Much analogy in looks and motions. I`am everytime stunned about it. Great Shawn. I`am a big fan from you. Best greetings, Erich from Vienna

Fantastic Shawn great video.

Thanks for this lesson. I'm a beginner and I applied this principle on my downswing and my distance improved. Also I feel less effort when hitting my drive.

The grass whip goes back to "Wild Bill" Mehlhorn During golf's era of great ball strikers. Mehlhorn utilized the grass whip in his own practice routine and recommended it in his teaching. Ben Hogan, the greatest ball striker of all time said Mehlhorn was the best player he had ever seen from tee to green, high praise from the man who rarely missed a fairway or green. Of all the videos you have made, this one and the feet-together drill should put you in the Golf Hall of Fame.

Shawn .. Excellent tutorial! Very similar in principal to my friend David Lee ( GRAVITY GOLF) I will look into more of your instructional videos. Keep up the good work!

wow. great lesson. makes total sense. we weight shift in almost everything else we do; even around the house. example- I even weight shift when I open my kitchen slider door to go out to the deck. On the golf course, I've been doing that move for a few years, but sometimes struggle for consistency. I had to adjust my clubhead position at address (right before backswing) to a slightly high "hover" position, in order to keep from scraping ground on the downswing. This type of movement is more athletic and it feels more natural. It has added significant power/distance. I hope to unleash more of the catapult/whip effect with more practice. Your video adds a ton of perspective!! Thanks!!

This video is gold! The vision of a catapult is spot on!! Thank you for opening my eyes!

Thanks for this. That sense of falling ever so slightly backwards to the target really gets things moving properly.

Before seeing this video, i had been working on my driver - i was focusing on pausing at the top, sliding the hips forward before the upper body begins to uncoil, and envisioning my club head being thrown slightly outwards to the right of my target. This is basically what i was doing, and it helped considerably. However, some of the keys and feels here are easier to remember, so off to the range i go to work on this. By the way, that big guy has insane club head speed!

So good ! Your the best!

i'm gonna try tomororw morning, good tip(s) big thanks

Thanks Shawn one more time ! (I just send my club on the top of a tree in my garden oups !) but I think I got the idea !

Excellent 👍

Great video, I’m going to try your instruction this weekend

just saw this video, tried it at home without hitting any balls, i can already feel the consistency. You are a God Shawn.

Awesome I'm watching more and more of your videos

walking naturally ! That did make me laugh -keep up the good work Shawn

Thank you

This is awesome. Just tried some swings without a club in my front room and it just feels so much more powerful. Can't wait for lockdown to end!

Shawn I wish you where in the ny area you make it so easy dumbs up great instructions, you are the best

Efter 36 års golf tak bedste undervisning.

Really helpful

Great visuals for swing path

Mu swings like the golf ball owes him money. The guy is a beast!

Thanks!

Great videos. I’ve been using a net to Practice with. I’m wondering where i should put some markers in the net to help me with aiming. I see you use some diamond shape to aim at. Thanks

Shawn this is pure gold. Although I've heard similar descriptions before, your illustration made it click. I think it's because others have explained it as "after you get to the top, then shift." You showed it in transition as the club is still moving up/back. It reminds me of what Mike Milaska says, there's no top of the swing. I've only hit a couple dozen balls after watching this, but many of the issues that I was having are gone or greatly minimized and I'm hitting a club further with better compression. Thanks so much!

The “throwing the club as far as you can drill” allowed me to actually feel how to hit the ball correctly. I had a tough time knowing whats. Correct swing felt like. Ive watched tons of videos and none helped me until that one tip

Brilliant thank 👍

Oh I'll be working on this one in the lab tonight. Count on that.

Great video only one word description AWESOME

Shawn was a massive part of my success and I’ll explain why. I started golfing in 2011. Shawn Clement was one of the first guys I came across. I was young and athletic but had never played golf. I followed Shawn for a bit and imitated some of his videos. For me, at the time he was “just ok” since I was new to golf. As I got better I started watching Mcilroy/hogan videos and got away from Shawn videos. I eventually became a scratch player for about 5 years 2014-2018 mainly because of my pure ball striking. I loved hitting balls . After that I became a casual golfer in the summer and focused on other things. My game slowly started to crumble year by year and I play at about a 6 now. My ball striking is not pure anymore and it drives me crazy. I can still play good golf but I’m a shell of what I was as a player and I haven’t been able to figure out why, and it’s bothered me for a long time. UNTIL this year. I’ve realized Shawn was a HUGE part of my early success as a player. He taught me the basics and most importantly, rhythm in my swing!!!! My transition was always so powerful and in sync and I took that for granted. I was able to shallow the club easily learning from him , something I’ve been struggling to remember how to do for the past few years. I went back to square one. Who did I first learn from? It was Shawn. I have to hit balls for weeks pretending to be him 😂 with his little rhythm old man swings, but they are SO SO SO effective. I have been able to eventually get my swing how I want it again, but it’s all in thanks to Shawn for showing me rhythm, up and back down. He has a calming voice , so calming I have his voice in my head when I hit balls sometimes. My ball striking has been excellent again and I tried MANY other things and drills, nothing worked. I never realized It was Shawn Clement who taught me how to hit a golf ball properly. Thank you I can now shoot 72 again at 40 years old.

Hey Shawn! Moving to my front side has, and still is an issue. Yes, you directed me to many of the premium videos, all terrific. I see you lift one heel, then the other at different points during your swing. Always assumed lifting of the heels was solely to for golfers with flexibility issues to make a full turn. Sometimes, yes, but no, no, no... the heel action is used as a timing mechanism (boom!). I love it and am adding this move to help me with timing and moving forward... and get out of the way so my arms have room. Thanks again!

Going to work on this here in Saudi today! Just had the European Tour event here last week and I volunteered. Great tournament and up close to some great players who have all seem to perfect this weight transfer move. Thanks Shawn. Hope to connect soon.

Try doing the “walking drill” walking backwards. Walking backwards produces a more golf-swing-like action counterbalancing the weight of the arms unit pulling you towards the ball.

This may sound crazy but has anyone ever tried actually hitting balls with the feet together drill. Great pivot and a steady swing center. Try it you will be surprised on how solid the contact feels.

Excellent coaching again. Can you do an updated grip lesson Where’s Sav & Moo ?

Golf ⛳️ Game is crazy to be honest with you ✌🏽

I wish I had a teacher like yourself for disc golf, oh man that would be great haha! If you're interested in what I'm talking about, look at backhand throws from the best like Eagle McMahon, Simon Lizotte, Kevin Jones, Paul mcbeth, and David Wiggins who set the world record drive at 1100 feet I know your a golf teacher and it's wishful thinking but I bet you'd have a natural understanding of how it works. Cheers!

This makes so much more sense. Shawn what do you say to the folks teaching one to keep your weight on the front side from the get go (I think they call it "stack and tilt")? Many of these folks teaching this are students of the pro (can't recall his name?) who hit like a 500 yard drive in a PGA event and the idea is to keep the weight on the front side thus eliminating any chance of a sway?

thIa is legit, never tried this and i can already tell that its going to help some

I loved the part where you said that the weight shift was done - ie slight lowering of body on to left leg at the top if the swing. Cant wait for end of this damned lockdown and try it out. Thank you Shawn. PS keeping my left arm straight is my biggest challenge.

Well, this explains why my neighbor was cutting his grass with a golf club yesterday.

I found this lesson worked really well for me after just one practice session. 😀

Shawn I tend to hang on and not release the club do you have a video for that? Help me obi wan your my only hope !!!

Who is that handsome young man in the video from 2008?! Cool to see that classic clip, very much appreciate these videos keep it up!

I have been struggling with balance in transition. I hit low pulls and blocks lots of the time. Not solid at all. it might be due to a strained left knee because at times in the past everything seemed natural. At any rate this video makes sense and feels good when I try it here at the house. I like the one statement about "staying close to the front leg". It should serve to maintain balance and make the transition with much less effort. Thanks Shawn.

Shawn, your ‘catapult’ video was VERY enlightening! Do you have an instructor in the Philadelphia area that you would recommend? I would visit you in Canada but Covid restrictions keeping me here. Thanks for any help!

My golf club is in the neighbors yard now. I guess I need to do this at a park.

One of the best videos I've ever seen on the golf swing. I noticed myself doing this, and I thought it was somehow wrong that my butt was sticking out in the other direction. Can you elaborate on what you're talking about when you describe Mu "compressing the volleyball"? I didn't understand what you were describing as well as I understood what you meant with Sav.

Thanks Shawn.....when can we play golf....please god!

Great Video. Are you still using braced tilt to hold you in place?

Shawn, would this be similar to a squat to start the downswing?
