PERFECT RIGHT ELBOW MOVE IN THE DOWNSWING AND THROUGH THE BALL! 

I think I had been listening to too many RU-vid instructors, and while I think all were good, I probably was dealing with conflicting ideas. I've decided to come back exclusively to you, so I watched and applied this video, and reviewed others. I found some real constancy while hitting balls today. Thanks!

So you may wonder; "does this guy just sit around waiting for our videos"? Well, yea why wouldn't I. You video on the "grip" helped me so much. I changed from an overlap to an interlock and it was a game changer. Even my playing partner asked me what I was doing differently because my contact was crisper and as a result my distance improved, especially with my mid-irons. So yea, I do sit around waiting for your videos. You guys are the best. kevin O'Rourke

Maybe it's just me but when Shawn explains these concepts in his videos, it is like he is not talking to an entire mass audience, and only to me. That's a powerful teacher right there. The way he breaks down the swing in his explanations is just pure gold - it makes the seemingly complex so straightforward and easy to accomplish. He is really a unique leader in the field of golf instruction. Now when I have a question or issue I type in Shawn Clement - invariably I find the answer I need. The Golf swing for me is like life itself, you are constantly striving to improve, one step at a time - in some cases one step is in fact a giant leap in improvement. I think it was Kobe who once said that if you are hammering a stone and you hit it 100 times, the 101st hit breaks the stone - but in reality it is the accumulation of blows that achieved it. Shawn drives such breakthroughs with every lesson and makes me excited to play the game. A true master of his profession.

Happy birthday sir, i'll be 56 tomorrow. i've only been watching you a few weeks, but you have helped me quite a bit. thank you

Thank you so much! This is one of the best videos I have seen about the trail arm! Keep up the great work, you are making so many golfers enjoy the game even more.

Love your personality Shawn and your teaching skills are not bad at all my main man…I live in northern MN about 80miles or less from Winnipeg…so you can relate to our weather! I have a timeline window due to the weather so I play about 6 to 7 months out of the year!I take full advantage and on the course every day to watch the beautiful sunrise! No one but myself and nature present ! Priceless!I must say,your swing looks awkward and comical in slow motion but make a ton of sense and the results are undeniable !I kept thinking,how in the wide wide world of sports are these people hitting there clubs 30 yards average longer then myself and consistent ! I am a pretty decent player I think to myself and I know I am much stronger then most humans, then I think ,well you did just turn 59 even though you don’t feel like you are a day older then 20….then I watched a match between Jack and the King and at the time Jack was 54 the king 64…in case some have no clue who I am referring to,it would be Jack, Nicholas, and the king would be Arnold Palmer!no not the drink!….😮….and JN was hitting his 7 about the distance I do!around 150,again countless thoughts!And he is the best player by far of all time!so how is it that Shawn is Just about Jacks age when creating said video and hitting his clubs a good 30 yards longer on the average!and on and on my mind went running a mock!I believe I may have understood the mystery on this short video!im about to hit my home course Riverside Golf course Stephen Minnesota and I can’t wait to try what I am attempting to learn!I must say,when you are explaining in slow motion it looks goofy as all hell,looks super unnatural and uncoordinated but then the phrase don’t judge a book by its cover comes to mind so I will report on my experience, and I will be your new student while scrapping all other so-called instructors off to rest permanentlyI!👍🏻I may also become a premium member,why not throw some shekels your way !can’t think of anyone more deserving then Shawn Sav and Moo….those two are super amazing BTW and it is obvious how they got to this level! my favorite new threesome!…..👌🏻. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Can't wait to try this out. What a great teacher.

There have been a few tips when I started watching RU-vid that began to transform my swing and get me swinging with some speed and power. However, there is one in particular that did so much more than any other. That is The Perpetual Motion Drill. You, Mr. Clement, have had that drill on your channel since way back. Once I mastered it, it allowed me to let go and just let the club rip and listen to the sound it makes as a guide to get faster and faster. This one drill is probably the most important drill any beginning golfer can do. They just have to do it properly and learn to just let it go and whip it. Once that was achieved for me, I was able to use it as a guide for further training and now I can absolutely crush a golf ball, especially with my irons which were always my biggest weakness pre RU-vid when I was just hacking, slicing, topping, skulling, worm burnin, and flat out guessing all the time. You're the closest thing to a coach I've ever had and I will always be grateful for everything I have learned from your RU-vid channel. It's a good feeling being fairly confident to get on the tee box and hit a ball in front of people I don't know. I used to avoid that like the plague. It was guaranteed failure and embarrassment back then. Not any more. Now it's people doing that little whistle and and saying holy bleep. Thank you.

Great video about not hitting at the ball but through the ball. Thanks to all three of you.

I truly enjoy your presentations. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences. The journeys of Sav and Mu have been outstanding. Kudos to all of you!)

This is an AMAZING video!! Thank you Sensei!

200 yard 8 iron 🤪 I’ve kinda chilled out on my practice and lessons til after my wedding in October but I really really need to be hitting 200 yard 8 irons

Its so,so different when playing on grass in golf cource with different terrain shapes! Easy to hit with closed club face, on floor! And bay the way, golf is play for accurasy not distance!

Collection area - not impact area. Love that.

thanks for the great information. a few "mis-heard lyrics" in the captions: "where to extend the tray alarm" "salve" instead of sav "slicing it to the rider" "you will need to bold the wrist....just a few i caught :D

Providing my grip is correct and hip moving correctly I have the FEELING at the INITIAL part of the downswing transition of hitting through the ball with the heel of the club and then slinging the clubhead through the ball

what a great video, thanks Shawn for a beautiful explanation of the swing ! Made a big difference. For me, it feels like the body is driving the elbow to a certain position and the arm extends automatically from there, based on natural rotational forces. Very similar with throwing the ball, skipping a stone, tennis even soccer, where the knee is driven and the foot releases from there. The secret ingredient is a strong grip. Would you keep same grip in chipping/pitching?

❤️❤️❤️

I love this! I need more distance on my irons...when I use the weight of the club like you talk about I feel a big difference. Now when I couple that with this collection like a hockey stick I bet this will help me! Your videos are excellent! I am big but with my bad left wrist I don't get as much distance as I should. Still improving so much though! Thank you Shawn

ngl I was just watching for this exact thing when Bryson's -12 was posted just the other day. Seemed like full extension of the lag elbow was not until ball impact or just after.

Hi Shawn! I refer to you as my “golf coach” so thanks for all the help. I haven’t ever closed the club and regripped before…tried it today and hooked it really bad. I’m guessing my hands aren’t leading enough at impact? Did moo have the same problem at first? What should I do? Thanks!!

Do you recommend also closing the clubface of the driver ?If so do you have a video on this?

Shawn: Been watching your videos for a while now and still not clear on strong grip. Do you close the face of the club first and then grip the club ( with your strong grip ) ? Or, is the dynamic motion of the strong grip what closes the face at impact? Thanks. Jim from Parkton, MD

Enjoy the video content. But when explaining grip or face position it could be improved if the camera was zoomed in or just closer to provide a better visualisation

Great info as always Shawn, love the videos! When Sav sets up initially, her club looks more square. Then she presses her hips and arms forward and the club face looks open. Is this because she hits a power fade? If so, in hitting the power fade does her club still go across the line from the inside 2 degrees?

OMG on occasions there is a 'move' which just hits the spot ummm distance. Plus 10% distance on all my irons (and woods!) from this video for zero (0) extra effort. Pity, I now have to recal all my club distances! Nice problem to have. Love my WiG journey!

Hi Shawn, I have watched many of your video lessons over several years and have successfully incorporated many of your swing suggestions. However, i have not heard or seen you address the unique swing follow through that keeps your hands above your head and the shaft/clubhead of your club rotating above the top of your head rather than a more conventional follow through around the mid head/neck region..... I believe your swing follow through was Arnold Palmer's swing finish too. Can you explain why you have that finish position while your daughter's swing is more conventional around the neck at the finish? What is the ball flight advantage of your follow through position? Thanks for the kind and patient way you describe how to properly swing the golf club.

Hi Shawn, I’ve noticed that apart from a strong grip, Sav and Moo’s address have both clubs delofted. Do you recommend this for all irons? Thanks in advance!

Hi Shawn, recently discovered your channel. Intrigued to say the least. Been playing golf for 30 years, always around 14 handicap. Last year I got down to 7 this year 8 but struggle with 5 6 iron, getting the ball in the air. Went for a lesson. Pro said to hit an 8 iron. Hit 5 8 irons dead straight 140 plus yards. He said I see your problem, your grip is way to strong and you need to change it before I can do anything. That's £40 please? I'm going to try again with my strong grip. Should I experiment with an open face too?

this is my problem with flipping . doing this elbow forward/forearm to the sky also shallows the club. my only question is doesn't it open the face??

I’ve tried to focus on that trail arm & releasing but then my elbow starts to hurt. Does that mean I’m releasing at the ball and not past it?

Does Mu have a strong grip too?

but what is the right elbow suppose to do??

Shawn, I cannot, for the LIFE of me hit through the ball. Always at. I have loads of swimg speed and I waste it. Can you help?? Please??
