I'm a 74 years young average golfer who plays twice a week; Always trying to find a magic instruction video that will improve my game... Ran over this video by Shawn Clement and must say that I found Gold... Of all the many videos I saw over the years, this is the one who made the difference in my game.... I finally found the right teacher that makes it easy to understand the basics... I guess you're never too old to learn and better enjoy the game... Thank you Shawn..

[@golflessons]

Make this your last stop Marcel! See our premium channel at @t Our instruction is completely based (and all other instruction should too) on human anatomy and how we are genetically wired to perform human motor skills and movement patterns. You will learn about all the other sports at the same time too! Same human machine, same goals of delivering different size balls to different looking targets!

[@CitizenVoltaire]

You are the first to demonstrate my view of the importance of the head angles. Great stuff.

[@golflessons]

Thank you Jeff! We have done our homework! 👍😀

[@keithwittymusic]

This video gave me the biggest breakthrough for my game. The explanation of why I never feel like I get a full backswing blew my mind. Incredible.

[@hannesnell3897]

Man! What a video ... You are the best coach on the entire youtube. Teaching with and comparing golf via analogies makes it understandable. Thank you

[@golflessons]

Thank you for letting us know Neil, so glad you are enjoying the content and now know how to apply it to your game! 😀👍👊

[@waynemorris6734]

Some people don’t appreciate how well you explain the basic things in a Golf swing that people don’t truly understand and glaze over. Good job.

[@golflessons]

Thank you Wayne! When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! 👍

[@alv2601]

Proper head position changed my game dramatically. What he’s teaching us is completely correct !

[@golflessons]

Right on AI V! thank you for the nod of confidence!

[@romaccc]

Amazing,amazing,amazing.!!! I have only been playing golf for 4 years, I have always felt that something feels wrong in my golf swing, I have been told to always keep my head down in the swing, now I have finally seen how to do it and it feels amazing.! Thanks for this.!

[@golflessons]

Good stuff! Glad you had a nice Ah Ha moment!

[@peterg6183]

Shawn, such a simple thing to do with huge results. I've golfed about 5 times this year and struggled to find consistency....watched this video and made sure I remembered to do this with every stroke and I had my best round...ever! Was 90% consistent with all clubs and shot an 84 for the first time in my life!!!! Always shot low-mid 90's prior! Couldn't be happier man...miss you brother, all the best in Quebec!!!

[@davidhester9716]

I especially like the reasoning with regard to turning the head like Jack. Another gem golf lesson!

[@golflessons]

Yes sir!!

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Seems like this one tip helps in several areas.. it helps you with getting a fuller turn, it automatically shallows out the downswing making it not as steep, probably makes it easier to hit a draw, and most important is that you stay behind the ball when you hit it. Head position is rarely discussed but you gave super explanations as to why it is important 👍👍👍

[@golflessons]

Thank you for your terrific feedback Tom, much appreciated! 😀👍

[@81mccabe58]

I have done this since I was a kid for one reason, it’s the only way I can see lines, I’m Left eye dominant and right handed so a neutral head position makes me feel like I’m aiming left of my target if my alignment is very good, what happens then is I swing way out to the right and over turn the ball. So I have always used rods on the range to set up square then I tilt/turn my head towards my right shoulder a fair amount until my left eye is looking at the target, I hit fades from there so that just shows that I don’t even see a big in to put path the that eye tilt. If I don’t use rods and have a neutral head then I will aim my whole body to the right until I get my left eye on the target so I will be 15 yards right even although I’m square, same applies to putting, neutral head means I want to aim my whole body right then I’ll pull every single putt. Jack Nicklaus is left eye dominant and that’s why he turns his head to the right.

[@KyKicks23]

Played like this today. I started on the range. It felt weird at first being tilt but I stuck with it. By time I finished my basket and went to first tee. It felt normal. I was striking the ball so much better. Thank you for this video. I can follow through 100x better. I shot an 80. If I could’ve made some more putts. It would’ve been a lot lower. It was from driver or irons. Thank you Shawn!

[@golflessons]

Moe! is that you? how cool is that you were able to get his username!! awesome man!!!👍😀👌💪🤘

[@follyfour506]

I have been following your tuition for a while now and this has been the best one yet. I have tried this since watching last week and what a difference to my ball striking it is effortless. You are the best coach on youtube Shawn without a doubt.

[@jackbisson9226]

One of the best Instructors in golf .

[@PARDS2]

SUPERB!!! BTW Shawn,,,,,what is/was the thinking with Sav's ultra strong grip,,,,especially with the top/right hand for her,,,,,thx much

[@golflessons]

See “why your swing is underpowered shawn clement”

[@TheYonasw]

This tip immediately improved my consistency and ball striking!! Thank you so much Shawn!!

[@golflessons]

Great to hear!

[@mikaelkorsgaard]

that first swing at 7:10 must be the flushest swing yet by Shawn......simply amazing, it's almost without any noise!

[@golflessons]

It felt very, very nice! 😝😀

[@nige99]

I’ve adopted your set up Shaun and I cannot thank you enough you’ve totally got me hitting it sweet now nice divot after the ball and when I do hit a chubby shot it’s because I’ve forgotten to get my sternum over the ball or just in front ....you are the best !

[@slowster2945]

I was watching some Lydia Ko among other female golfers and noticed that their hats all pointed straight down to the ground at impact. When I tried to mimic that I got my old feeling of being strong and behind the ball during impact. I looked at some of my own swings and yep, I had it backwards. The way this head position feels is so powerful and precise. It's feels like it's taking your focus away from the ball itself and putting it back into the swing (where it needs to be). Great video and awesome analogies.

[@brettcollins2210]

Shawn, love the lack of focus on technique & more on pure (body) logic and I mean that as a compliment. The head is the heaviest part of the body & so moves your angles. This is so logical. Love the comment on the "money is out there" too. So simple yet brilliant advice. Thanks again.

[@BambooBob]

This has to be the best golf video EVER!

[@golflessons]

Thanks Bob!!

[@follyfour506]

Without a doubt Bob. Me and my golfing partner have followed this and what a difference and it does feel strange at first but it just makes sense.

[@seanmore]

Shawn your instructions and analogies are so practical and easy to follow. I haven't played in 4 months and tomorrow we are playing in Carmel. I already know it's going to be a great round just because I got the cheatsheet lessons from you and crammed it in today on the range. Spyglass will be such a joy tomorrow. You're the best!! Thanks so much.

[@golflessons]

Right on Sean! Have an awesome day tomorrow!

[@richardbrooks9568]

Great lesson! This tip also helped me get rid of the dreaded shank with my short irons. It felt weird at first, but really improved my contact.

[@artheart3311]

One of the best lessons I've seen described in years! Thank you! It makes so much sense and explains some of my bad tendencies. Great visuals with the hammer and board!

[@KabiruAbu]

Hi Shawn , the skipping stones analogy along with nailing the piece of wood has been a revelation to me. I shall be working on this on the range tomorrow. Thank you very much

[@ElanBrio]

This is golf Gold !! Thanks Shawn

[@larrybeavens7580]

This is an oldie, but man, is it ever a goodie. This is THE KEY to stop coming over the top. I personally like to preset both the turn and the tilt of the head at address and leave it there. I’ve tried tilting my head at the start of the downswing like Rory does, but I tend to overdo it and come up and out of the shot. I think we amateurs are better off presetting the turn and tilt at address, then keeping the head relatively still until post-impact. This is just great stuff; I’m 74 and I wish I could have seen it about 50 years ago...

[@golflessons]

Good stuff Larry! Light bulb moments are awesme in this game; great on you! Shawn

[@kingeyechoi9306]

Never ever seen like this impresive tips and effort drill. Thank you so much !!!! Saved my poor golf!!!!

[@fishbowl925]

Excellent lesson Shawn, thanks. Made a huge difference.

[@golflessons]

Rock on!

[@wolfsjetta12]

Shawn, you truly are the best! Your explanations are so simple and easy to follow ,but have made a huge difference in my game. One day I hope to make it up to Canada to take an in person lesson. Thanks for everything that you do.

[@golflessons]

Right on Vdub!! It would be an honour to be your coach!

[@golflover8811]

Sir I have been searching for this for years. Thank you.

[@moledog88]

,,That is the absolute answer right there ! very much common sense and simple ,but rarely talked about,,thx for another classic Shawn

[@blakenorman4822]

I was doing that at adress with my head and super strong left hand grip last time out and was crushing it straight down the middle

[@golflessons]

What a great feeling of bliss that is! 😀👍

[@andrewcampbell7889]

This guy is actually incredible with his insight

[@golflessons]

Thank you Mike! The homework runs deep! 👍

[@texmex697]

Another good one Shawn. The pre turned head is essential for me and helps me deliver power into the back of the ball. It also helps me aim at the target better. Thanks again.

[@golflessons]

You bet Chris!

[@timothycarry]

I have always liked this video and keep coming back to it

[@kingshark4645]

@1:05 , Sun of beach!!!! 😱... so something that is happening in my dealieo, .... just did your hammer, club to alignment stick, and even put in my head, water out the right ear, and left ear ring lying on cheek mantra. hit 36, in a row no chunks, the feel is really different, having to adjust my eyes to the angle, per say, buttttttt, I noticed some automatic feedback of my head stays more consistently down through impact, vs me trying to look up. it's like my head is angle towards the target area, but eyes down, and I'm well through impact then I look up (hope I'm not too stuck) o well will keep working the drill and feel for this new head angle. previous, was center, then some how left, hmm that stack and tilting weight left side, probably got me.

[@rayscapinello8449]

Mr. Clement's that video was very informative...thanks for that...my head getting ahead of the ball at impact is an issue... hopefully for me no longer... keep well and safe

[@golflessons]

Right on Ray! Glad that you enjoyed and feel you can implement; enjoy the practice!

[@Floki6753]

Wow! I really hit the motherlode on YT🥳 Thank u Sir🙌

[@fredabel9123]

Great tips that are easy to remember: 20 degree turn and 20 degree tilt of the head. I'd also remind viewers to let the head remain behind the ball at impact even as the knees and hips move over the lead leg and toward the target. As you have taught us in past lessons, that lower-body separation from the upper body promotes a club head path from the inside and fights an over-the-top slice or double-cross pull.

[@golflessons]

You bet Fred! A good video title for this would be "dynamic vs static golf shawn clement" and "tilted spiral part 4 shawn clement"

[@justjames1111]

Great video and explanation Shawn. This is so important and yet hardly seems to be discussed.

[@KINGKURT14]

C´est genial. That was the video I was looking for. With a little practise it will help not only me but lots of golfers.

[@johnnypenso9574]

Been working on my swing and made some dramatic improvements this last year. Going to give this a spin tomorrow at the range before I head out west for vacation and a few rounds of golf. Love your channel and keep up the good work.

[@golflessons]

Thank you Johnny!

[@johnnypenso9574]

It's taken a few sessions at the range to really get the hang of it but it seems to have all come together this last session. Although I scored well on my western road trip my ball striking and consistency wasn't the best. Excited to keep working on this and to see what will happen the rest of the Ontario golf season. My goal was a handicap under 10 this year and i'm at 10.2!!! Hoping this will take me into single digits for the first time.

[@kamalmohd8818]

Seriously the best lesson ever sir!!

[@jeevst]

Thank you! Tried your swing thought out following day I watched this with INCREDIBLE RESULTS! ! Brought everything together, and the best thing is that it finally feels natural. I brought a hammer to my office to practice now! Thank you!

[@golflessons]

Yeah! Hammer at the office when on the phone, perfect!! 😀👍

[@albertorodriguez6408]

Great tip and even greater explanation. I will try this at the range right away. Thanks

[@golflessons]

You fo man!! Nothing like anticipating a nice fun practice session! :)

[@hughj.5762]

Great instruction. This is something I struggle with. My head is all over the place during set up, swing and finish. I am constantly in the wrong position which produces a variety of horrible shots. I’m a total mess right now. Will definitely use the hammer and doorframe visual. Thanks

[@golflover8811]

Genius - all of the sudden it helps me tremendously 😊❤😮🎉

[@MJSherwood]

Found this through the Golf Fix coaching app. Very informative and really enjoyed the props. Especially the stone skimming

[@golflessons]

Golf fix coaching app uses my videos?

[@MJSherwood]

@@golflessons it uses AI to match KZbin coaching videos to the specific problems you have. It found my head position tilted forward on the backswing and recommended this video to me.

[@MJSherwood]

Worth saying the app is free to use so they aren't profiting from your content 👍 hope this helps and thanks again for your help currently trying to unlearn two decades of self taught bad habits.

[@nghgkc6]

Great explanation! I have struggled with this for years but have never heard a good detailed explanation.. Thanks!

[@golflessons]

Glad you liked it Tom! We are built a certain way and we cannot change that; so we need to roll with what we have...which is brilliant btw! :)

[@golflessons]

You bet brainwaves! Golf is way too much fun!😀😀

[@wjhall307]

Excellent video. I have been watching your videos for a while and your focus on the target has helped me. I had been wondering why you turned your head. Now I know and makes sense. One of my main distractions during my swing is my shoulder interfering with my view of the Dandelion stem. Going to try the preset head turn to see if that helps.

[@thami8593]

Tried your system and it works, thank you...

[@Jackybug]

Excellent!

[@paulshaw8875]

I always wondered why occasionally I would hit a low left shot, starting 10/20yrds left, hooking further left. On video I never payed much attention to my head. You,ve demonstrated perfectly why that's been happening... my head was moving forward. Now I feel as if I'm coming under then up if. That shot alone was costing me 2-4 shots a round. Thanks for another great vid Shawn!!

[@golflessons]

Right on Paul! See "tilt acid test shawn clement" for more reinforcements; shawn

[@paulshaw8875]

Thanks for responding Shawn. It means a lot to me. Will check it out.

[@desertrat1111]

Interesting explanation

[@dadmaxx8641]

This has made a big difference in my consistency. Anytime I hit a high right chop, or a snap hook, or a short drive that finds the fairway, I know it's because I didn't pre-set my head. This preset kills so many birds with one stone it almost unfair! It kills the over swing, the sway, poor contact, coming in steep, not hitting up on the driver. It is a little hard to get used to how effortless it feels to get much better results.

[@golflessons]

I am really not trying to sound like a sales pitch here for others, but man, are you on the right track and getting it EXACTLY ON THE BUTTON. Great on you, with that description, I know you are on the right track and the lights are on and everyone is home! 👍😀

[@martinandellie]

what a great video Shawn, loved your presentation at the Golf show Toronto by the way...

[@Rrracket]

another great video, thanks. I was getting thoracic pain because I was tilting my head like Nicklaus; using your method keeps my head more stable and increased my clubhead speed

[@golflessons]

Right on! The tilt allows to get through more effectively!

[@Rrracket]

damn autocorrect! I wrote "clubhead speed". Anyway thanks for your professionalism, too bad you're 2000 miles away, but hope to meet you one day

[@trekerism]

Hi Shawn. Skully told me you were an excellent teacher and funny too. Thanks for the insight.

[@golflessons]

Thanks Darren!!

[@mkipp581]

Outstanding and instructive!

[@michaelgreen3869]

Shawn , I’ve been progressively working my way through your videos and I’m loving your work! I’ve been trying to improve my swing intensively for almost 2 years and my effort in terms of input isn’t reflected in the output. I can honestly say I’ve made tremendous progress over the last few weeks adopting your principles. They really do make perfect sense once you start to apply them.. Thanks so much for your sharing your work and ideas, I think this will be a great golf year for me at last!! Kind Regards Michael Green

so I had noticed the obviously practiced head movements of Rory and many others. They seem quite extreme. I had first noticed this when I watched bobby Jones swing. You are the only teacher that has talked about the importance of head positioning in the golf swing. Man, there are really a whole bunch of crappy 'teachers' out there. Bravo to you. Just excellent stuff.

[@golflessons]

Thank you man! Really appreciate you realizing this. Teachers are still far away from putting target and swing together where we are years ahead talking about matching actions to Ball flight plans. Rory did this before the age of 9!!

[@golflessons]

@ yes, they are doing this and I have put out several videos on that but it is not something they think about. If you were to go to our premium channel, the “blur of club” video would be the starting point and then you go to “head position and turn” then “head and hip swivel” because the top of spine is at the back of the head and the bottom of the spine is between the hips at bottom of pelvis. Then you go to our most recent and sublime posts of “blur of arc-immovable low point-unstoppable momentum.

[@DiamondDac]

Brilliant explanation , thank you

[@kourt2469]

I've seen this video several times, I have no idea why but I've always just rotated my head to the right but never actually tilted it. Honestly thought I was doing it right for the last few years and wasn't even close. Started doing this today and it felt weird but also felt like I had significantly more room to access the target.

[@emncaity]

Sorry if I missed this in the vid, but another thing that happens with differences in head tilt and/or rotation is eyeline and its effect on where you perceive the target line to be, and therefore where you perceive the right path to be.

[@bigsisterSuzy]

This reminds me of the principles of the old video of the "tilted spiral". It seems to position the head to follow that angularity.

[@ryanjvale]

inner ear mechanism fluid and cilia tells you where your body parts are . Mac O'Grady says it's the eyes .George Knusdsen shot 68 at Glen Abby with his eyes closed on all shots leading into the green. He had is head in the right position ,his inner ear balance mechanism told him where to have his arms and hands to flow to towards the target.

[@ajgolfnut]

Excellent video Shawn! Yes 20-20, I find this also helps keep my chest facing back just a bit longer kind a like Sergio does coming through his backswing to impact allowing me to come from the inside rather than outside/over the top.. Great tip to start our swing process! Cheers Anthony

[@golflessons]

Yeah man!

[@franciscorojas934]

Thanks that was pretty good and clear

[@AP-dx3ck]

J'ai adopté ce swing qui me plait beaucoup.Pour être régulier il faut un bon focus et avoir un mouvement très lourd des bras, ne jamais chercher à forcer le coup cela donne des balles flush avec beaucoup de compression.Excellent!

[@golflessons]

Excellent!! 👍😀

[@fightingfastmcoc568]

Great video

[@twalent34]

Great explanation!

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

I was on this last night watching slow motion swings. Watch with driver iron and wedge. They don’t look at the ball. They find a spot with driver about 3-4 inches or so behind the ball and fixate their attention and head on that spot. They don’t look up until the ball is launched. Amateur golfers are fixated on the ball and as soon as we hit it we are looking up. Irons they’re a little more over the ball maybe an inch ahead, and wedges they’re about 2-3 inches ahead. I think it’s to get a full swing. They’re focused on their spot and swinging the club.

[@lintulauta123]

this is next level thanks

[@golflessons]

You bet! Played Jordan Speith's home school track yesterday at U of T; tough demanding course that requires all of his attributes to score it well! Gorgeous course!

[@davidtheobald502]

The head turn allows a complete shoulder turn and backswing makes total sense. The head tilt is the confusing one to me - is this needed to allow the right in-to-out path to happen? Or it allows the head to stay back but the torso to open to the target? I’m confused on that part I guess :-)

[@golflessons]

It allows the swing to follow along the ground and towards the target after impact and not go into the ground too steeply; like when you skip a stone on a pond! Imagine skipping stones on water and feel how the head tilts when doing this!

[@davidtheobald502]

@@golflessons Ah! So it's primary goal is shallowing the swing - got it, thank you!

[@golflessons]

You can put it that way sure; but better than that, it is to keep you in the shot at hand to send a ball to the proper destination in the first place! 😝

[@nanomtz]

Great video Shawn!! Do you use same tilt head position, same grip and same brace to the left on drivers and woods??? Hitting my irons pure! But struggling with hybrids, woods and driver

[@golflessons]

Yes, absolutely; just be aware that ball position changes on those; see "Rip the driver shawn clement" an oldie but goodie where you will see a great tip on how to find ball position for fairway woods and hybrids as well. Then see "driver-driver-driver shawn clement" and "91% fairways hit in regulation shawn clement"

[@golflessons]

Thank you for that Ecclesiastes! Some oldies but goodies in there! 👍😀

[@smirnovdmitrya]

Dear Shawn, thank you a lot for your great videos. About head. You say about horizontal positioning. Do you recommend to try to maintain the same level vertically? I mean try to stay at the same height.

[@golflessons]

No, not at all actually! See “create serious speed shawn clement” and “feet together and one leg update shawn clement” and “hogan power drill part 2 shawn clement”

[@alanp8724]

wow i wish i had found this years ago(well obviously it was just put out) but great analogy with the hammer.

[@youraveragedad5594]

Hey Shawn! Quick question. At address, and after you brace the front leg are you just moving the head 20/20? Or are you bracing the front leg. Tilting your upper spine away slightly from the target and then moving your head 20/20? Thanks!

[@golflessons]

A bit of both yes; bottom line is that you will feel like you can whip the sole of the club along the ground after the stem of the dandelion has been cut.

[@Rrracket]

your head position for skipping a stone is a brilliant analogy

[@philstevenson8904]

Thanks so much Shaun. Do you keep the 20/20 head position for all clubs? I thought perhaps more for driver and less for short irons?

[@golflessons]

All clubs! Depends on ball position for the shot; draw vs fade, driver will be more forward...see “tilt acid test shawn clement” now...

[@panushjo]

After the turn and tilt, it looks like Nicklaus is one of the few with the left eye lower than his right eye.Most have the opposite. Is there a difference?

[@undisclosedundisclosed7247]

Shawn - for a right hand golfer, can you clarify the 20 degree / 20 degree head position using terms of visual directions such as right/left or toward target/away target. Or, capture a video showing head position from your back side. Thanks.

[@golflessons]

Check out "lower body in the backswing shawn clement" video!!

[@justjames1111]

Just watching a video of Peter Thomson showing one of his pupils Liz Young (European tour) and she has the negative tilt you mention Shawn and maintains it pretty much throughout her swing except for at impact, but she does seem unusual and I wonder if she tends to fade the ball.

[@golflessons]

They were talking tilt? Got the link?

[@andrewgladstone3007]

[@golflessons]

Thank you man! Keep on it!!

[@oswaldorojas3686]

nicee!!!

[@stevehall0412]

Can this set up help prevent from sucking the club to far to the inside in the backswing? I did some practice swings in the yard and it seemed like I was able to get through the follow through better toward target

[@golflessons]

Not necessarily; you still want to have an intermediate point and feel like the swing is moving in that direction in both backswing and follow through; see "stay with your shot shawn clement"

[@michaelgenovese8501]

Thanks for the great tip! I'll try tomorrow. Are you still supposed to keep your chin somewhat raised at address? Also, I have a severe problem with moving my weight forward on the downswing. Without a ball, I can do it easily. When a ball is front of me, it feels like I freeze, almost as if there's a wall there. Thoughts?

[@golflessons]

For the weight issue, see "walk to a better swing shawn clement" which will put you in awesome balance right out of the gate!

[@michaelgenovese8501]

I tried this technique today, with mixed results. I lifted my right heel to begin, then my left heel during the upswing, which helped me a bit to move my weight to my lead foot. For whatever reason, I still was hitting behind and topping the ball on most of the shots, although when I did hit it flush, it was actually going a bit further than normal. I wish I could figure this out-----very frustrating. Thoughts?

[@canefan17]

Hey Shawn, pre-setting my head the way you do in the video has helped me make better contact (I think because it forces me to stay behind the ball). But it also leaves my neck tight and sore after each range session. Any suggestions?

[@golflessons]

It has to match your task; see “grass whip training shawn clement” and see what position your head wants to adopt when performing that task or the “hammer through shawn clement” video where we are stamping a ball through a door frame. Then make sure you let the right shoulder bring the head up into the finish and that you are mot trying to keep the head down too long past impact.
