GENTLY FLUSH YOUR LONG IRONS BY RELEASING YOUR GOLF SWING! No rushing necessary!

[@satchrocks34]

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, Shawn! That's all I think of in so many of your videos. And it rings so true

[@Tidoublemy]

Shawn, mid-way through my round yesterday I started doing a little squat movement to start my swing. I hit my 9 iron clean about 165 yards at a pin 145 yards away and it felt absolutely effortless. I was stunned and had an epiphany. I just slung it out there and barely put effort into it. Then I hit a blind 6 iron over a hill about 200 yards within 6 feet of the pin and made birdie. I couldn't believe my eyes. The 2 inch squat movement really initiates the momentum of the swing/sling. I felt like I was cutting grass! I haven't dialed it in with my driver because I think I still try to overpower the ball. However I think the little squat (with quiet hands) is the true key secret of the golf swing. I only follow you and Milo Lines for golf instruction. Phenomenal stuff. Thank you!!!

[@golflessons]

Good stuff! You just felt what “KINETIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT” is and it feels like bliss on a stick! 😀👍

[@Tidoublemy]

@@golflessons Can you make a video specifically about the squat movement to initiate the down swing? It's a surreal feeling. How that applies to a driver swing would be helpful.

[@golflessons]

@@Tidoublemy we have a whole series on our premium channel called “kinetic chain series” and then another called “kinetic chain engagement” then see “pumping up the swing” and “feet together back to feet apart” which is the way to bridge the gap from the best drill in golf, the feet together swing, which is also a very important aspect of that pumping action.

Your unique task based approach to the swing has enabled me to escape from 3 years of not being able to break 100. I'm now playing bogie golf and hitting second shots from shorter distances than ever. I still have the occasional poor shot, but if I slow down and focus on throwing the clubhead to the target, I usually get back on track. This particular video is helping me flush my long irons. Thanks you so much for enabling me to truly understand what's going on in the golf swing.

[@golflessons]

Right on Gary! So happy you are seeing AND FEELING things more clearly! Looking forward to hearing about your next breakthroughs; if you need some help now or later to do that, don’t hesitate to get on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com so we can get you the info you need for next level! The task videos are key of course and then the “predict contact” and “goldie locks series” to match your set up to your flight plans to remove that uncomfortable feeling over the ball you experience when things are not matching your shot. All the best from a Clement to a Clements!

[@garyclements1791]

@@golflessons Thanks Shawn. I have actually been following you for several years, but have never commented before and just wanted to acknowledge how much you have helped me. The first eye opening video was your swing builder series with Shantal. The next pivotal moment for me was your demonstration of how to rotate your grip when hammering a nail straight down vs. into a door frame. Your club throwing video was a major breakthrough for me. I was able to practice this in my back yard and the first time I tried it I had to fish my club out of a pine tree that was way left of my intended target. I believe these videos encapsulate what your teaching is all about and again I just wanted to express my appreciation for your help.

[@ericschroeder8932]

Bravo!!! As usual, a fantastic lesson. One thing I've noticed lately, is that when I am consistent with giving my body a "task", and focus on the target, my iron shots are super pure, and about 10-15 yards longer, without force. Time to recalibrate! :)

[@orobill]

When I started swinging easier and not rushing, my iron play became longer and much straighter. I'm a true believer that blocking and slicing are a direct result of rushing the down swing!

[@golflessons]

Yes! And we have a bunch of great videos for that starting with “stop rushing the downswing shawn clement” and “how to slow down your golf swing shawn clement”

[@m.thomas2589]

beat me to it. For me as well, rushing the DSW was the culprit for many bad shots. Since I started mimicking the tempo of LPGA players my ball striking is off the charts. Crisp, compressed contact with all irons and much tighter dispersion with woods. Such a joy to hit balls and its so effortless.

[@mousepotatop9767]

Great stuff. He keeps asking her what is the start of the swing. Gravity. This is the most important golf tip I've learned so far. It seems as if Mr. Clement is repeating the same tips over and over, but in different ways, but it's virtually all the same swing. So good, I'm not sure if I would've ever discovered it on my own or with a personal instructor. Thank you.

[@golflessons]

Repetition-repetition-repetition; you cannot emphasize the good stuff enough! 👍😀👌💪

[@m.thomas2589]

Once again I have to thank you Shawn. Since I finally figured out how to make the turn and to not rush the DSW my ball striking is off the charts. In a range session of 100 balls I might miss my target 2 - 5 times only. BTW I found that my stance was too wide, a narrower stance helped me turn my hips more easily and this improved my distance and contact. Also, my best shots are when I grip the club very tightly with my middle fingers, which also seems to activate my legs somehow. Crushing it consistently now and making lots of birdies! Only trouble is my 150 club (PW) is now going 170 sometimes so I'm going off the back of greens too often, I am experimenting now with 50-60-70% backswing to try to compensate. But when I am doing what I think is a half swing it still goes close to max distance. You may want to explain why that is so - most people oversewing and could use a more compact swing. Cheers brother

[@golflessons]

Right on Man! As for the wedges; you could get a forged wedge from either Callaway (Jaws) or the Titleist (Vokey) which has less of a hot face. Find the loft that slips into your set; as for the tempering of the shot, I simply like to play a straight fade when I need to shave a half club and for the pitch shots, you goldie locks the intensity used for cutting through the dandelion stem. Feel more of a softer cut through the stem when you don’t want the ball to jump! 😀👍

[@saidseddiki9328]

Vidéo très intéressante; quand je suis focus sur ma tâche (couper la tige ) swinguer les longs fers est d’une grande simplicité, par contre dès que cette maudite balle devient la cible qu’elle horreur 😱.

Doesn't pertain to this vid but feel compelled to tell you how much I appreciate your teachings. I subscribed to your premium website a few months ago and its totally transformed my game. If anyone has any misgivings I'm saying dont! I stopped the treadmill of watching hundreds of other KZbin instructions and only concentrate on Wisdom in Golf. I've increased my distance by a full club with every iron, hit it way more flush. Give it time ppl, like everything in golf it takes some work, but it's worth it. I promise I'm a real person, bout a 10 handicap, no paid advertiser. Lol. My new golf dream is to have a lesson with Shawn and have him say "you nutted that one!"

[@golflessons]

Hey Jeff! It is a real honour to receive such nice words from a fellow golfer; thank you! 😀👍❤️

[@jonq8714]

I was struggling with this, and as a novice I always seemed able to hit my 7 iron flush and perfect, but the rest of my clubs got progressively worse as I went down or up in loft. So I just figured I'd buy a set of single length irons, all of which are the length of my 7 iron and it's changed my game. I hit every one flush now.

[@golflessons]

That is awesome Jon! Single length has a lot of merit for sure!!👍😀

[@jdheelfan]

I played a 180 yard par 3 on Saturday. I used a 6 iron and hit it in the air with a tight little draw right on top of the hole. It stopped inside 4 feet and I made the birdie. I usually struggle with that hole but this lesson changed all of that.

Hi Dana! See all my “distance to ball shawn clement” videos and “dynamic posture shawn clement” and “early extension shawn clement” videos

[@PeteCroft1]

I always thought the ball should progress further forward in the stance the longer the club? So back of centre seems a bit different, but I’ll be trying this tomorrow! Wow Mu crushes that five iron, must be De Chambeau distances!!

[@golflessons]

Hi Pete! He definitely does have Dechambeau distance; I have a reliable 300 yard drive and he is blowing it past my spots by 40 yards average…🙄🙄

[@gregsarsons1221]

Shawn - another great video. I’ve enjoyed incorporating your swing philosophy into my game. Good news is I have observed improvements. Bad news, from time to time, my longer irons (hybrids and fairway clubs) significantly draw. Okay they hook. Based on conventional golf teaching I can think of many causes. While my frequent ball flight, all clubs, is a draw, I don’t think I have a very strong grip.

[@golflessons]

Hey Greg! Woods can be very different than irons in their design depending on the manufacturer; some are very draw biased and the face is rounded making the club APPEAR TO BE MORE OPEN THAN IT IS!! So simply close it less and deliver to the direction you want to start the ball. On our premium channel, the titles you want to see are “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning” and then “arc-blur unstoppable momentum” videos, and then “target confirmation series” “pre-motor kortex series” and “the throwing series”

[@knudson6769]

Shawn, love your videos thanks for posting. A lot of your shots are off of the Fairway, great lie, level ground. I only see those conditions on the range, lol. How about hitting irons out of the rough with deep 4-5" grass, would it change your club selection to more loft or stay with the club that has the distance needed? Seems like that stuff grabs the club and slows it down with the longer irons.

[@golflessons]

Hey Kraig! Absolutely! You need to use your prediction process for that; you predict which club will get you out of the lie you are facing. If the 5 iron sends the ball into a wall of grass, this will not help! You need the loft necessary to get the ball up the grass wall and into the air! We have a lot of examples on our premium channel with our on course sessions for that!

[@skintslots]

My instructor tells me,regarding distance from the ball with long irons,that having the butt of the grip over your toes/lower laces of your shoes is about right. I noticed this was pretty much spot on in the video.

[@golflessons]

It is the way you get there that differs with us; see “how to put the ball in the way of your swing shawn clement golf wrx” and use a little “goldie locks” in your golf game! 😀👍

[@michaelgenovese8501]

Another great instructional video, Shawn! Can you recommend a preference between steel or graphite shafts for irons?

[@andrepetersson7572]

Hi Shawn! I have watched many of your videos, and they are really good! There is one question i haven't yet found the answer to: When I make a fairly fast swing, the felt weight of the club increases and I need to pull the club towards the body harder in order to stay in balance. this happens automatically and creates a out to in, and a slight toe hit, even if the downswing starts on plane. It also feels like a straight hit, but will be a fade/slice. How can you counteract this unconscious pulling of the club?

[@golflessons]

Hey André! This is a short circuit that is caused by AN OPEN CLUB FACE or a GRIP THAT IS TOO NEUTRAL. See an oldie but goodie called “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement golf wrx” You THINK YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT POSITIONS, but dynamically, you are not square enough to stay the course. Also see “why you can’t line up properly shawn clement” which deals with the side vision of the human machine. On premium, at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com, you will see “blur of club” and then “arc-blur unstoppable momentum” videos which use the blur of the club to deliver in the direction of the intermediate point. Combine this with the “consistency series” which has the grip issue front and centre right in the first video, you are good to go!

Shawn, while all other irons I am comfortable with, it's the 5 iron that goes straight right most of the times. Unable to understand why. Need your help please.

[@golflessons]

You are either too close to the ball, which is common with long irons, and you are hitting it in the heel-hozel and shanking to the right or your club face in general is not closed enough; or both. This also causes you to be too careful and you stop swinging freely.
