   Thanks Jay! Trying to find some time right now; very hard with 14 lessons a day! broken tees with irons and fairway woods are just fine; also with a driver with a low tee when you are hitting it with penetrating trajectory; but if the driver is ballooning, then it is a problem; Shawn

   Shawn,
   Great vids as always. Couple things I would like to point out. !) I speak for everyone when I say…Going through withdrawls….need the vids.:). 2) I wonder if you could speak more or a vid about breaking tee’s. I know you shouldn’t, but I always do with my driver and all my iron shots. 3 and 5 wood are good. Problem i have is i seem to stay more (ish) online and better contact when i break them. I do hit with a delofted swing as of late. any help would be get. You Rock ! Jay

   Have a look at my “golf pro lesson tilted spiral part 1, 2 and especially 3; you will see how creative you can be with ball position! Shawn

4. golfpro020591 Said,

   hey shawn, loving the vids, but i have a question regarding my swing, for a while now ive been a solid ball striker but i never seem to take any divots, what would you recommend me to do in order to create a divot, as i think it would help my game and possibly create more distance?

5. clemshaw Said,

   This is the shot I would use when hitting it low under a tree or into a stiff wind on course; when you play it back, you will tend to push it right so you need to compensate with the club face; see “golf pro lesson be a solid ball striker” and “golf pro lesson tilted spiral” part 3 for this! Shawn

6. clemshaw Said,

   YES! Practice the shots you would use in those circumstances! Do not practice the standard shots or anything technical in the swing that would result in anything other than a shot in windy conditions! GREAT QUESTION!!!
   Thanks! Shawn

7. clemshaw Said,

   It just means that you are loosing focus of the target and “defaulting” to the ball and letting it become your target; the drills in “Golf Pro lesson through the ball” will help and the section in my dvd where you see me giving an example of the finished product to end disc 1 really drives the point home; ONE FEEL TO A TARGET. Shawn

8. clemshaw Said,

   Yes! Golf Pro Lesson How to Clear the hips” and “golf pro lesson arms falling down the plane” for starters; my dvd has all the info from scratch and in priority sequence with the proper grip and arm motion so that you do not miss anything important! Shawn

9. jdotson Said,

   Shawn, you are very brave to be outside of the range stables where people like me hit the ball.

10. nolimit569 Said,

    Shawn, no matter how hard i try it seems as though my divot takes place literally at the ball. I hit it fairly well, but my question is how can i move it a bit more foward. I believe part of the problem is my left elbow(Left handed) runs into my side on the downswing rather then clearing through. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

11. Scampern Said,

    Shawn, I has always thought one didn’t have to think about the release if the grip and hinge action was correct. However, I find myself releasing to soon. If I try to release late I just hit the top of the golfball. Should I train staying behind and hitting a target on the ground thats past the golfball?

12. rahickey002 Said,

    Shawn ,A “Tip” from one of those golf magazines some years ago “Do not practice at the driving range when the wind is blowing.You could develope more bad habits correcting for wind conditions than good . ” I was there in the wind (very windy) feeling balance during the swing.
    Your lesson addressing fairway bunker shots proved most valuable in these very windy conditions. Any comments on playing or practicing in the wind.

    hey Shawn, yet another great video that I have come across, I can’t wait to try this, but one thing though, I don’t understand why you’re closing the club face as you put the ball back in your stance. Is that just for the sake of the drill, or would you do this if you were hitting a ball off your back foot out on the course? Thanks for all your great videos.
    -Rob

14. clemshaw Said,

    Sounds like a sweet compression to me!
    Way to go! Shawn

15. balldude114 Said,

    I’ve mastered compressing the golf ball =) now whenever i hit a golf ball it have a sweet curve up and goes really high and really far.

16. XlburrowsX Said,

    hey thanks i think this drill will help me alot with my ball striking, i always hit the divot just before the ball, allthough i still dont quite understand why you start your swing with your weight on the left side, and not in the middle(central).

    Luke

17. balldude114 Said,

    No, the farther back in your stance, the harder it is for you to hit your golf ball. Its best to have a neutral spot for all your clubs in the middle of your stance.

18. clemshaw Said,

    Just play it by ear James; if you feel that you can swing the longer clubs go for it; if not, continue to reinforce the 7 and 6 irons and go back up again; you will get it soon enough;
    Shawn

    Have a look at my “golf pro lesson tilted spiral” part 3 as well as the “golf pro lesson be a solid ballstriker” videos;
    Shawn

20. jdotson Said,

    A funny thing I found. When I have the ball really far back I take a huge divot! With it in the middle it is much smaller. I’m wondering if this means I’m releasing with a different mind set and not keeping the swing the same in both cases?

21. smil3rrr Said,

    Hey! Nice to hear the St Andrews comment in this vid! I’m a student there, studying physics, and I’m a beginner golfer (literally been playing only a few weeks). I’m watching your vids and trying to improve!

    Just a question Shawn; should I be using my fairway woods / 4 hybrid, or only my irons, at this early stage?

    many thanks,
    James

22. IDExPoSeD Said,

    Its actually what tiger woods does too i think its one of his “idiosyncrasies” but yeah. Dont try and accomodate it into your swing unless you naturally do it as it could cause your swing to change dramatically Hope this helped

23. jonnynoh84 Said,

    Hi Shawn, I’ve stumbled across your YouTube vids today and Im enjoying them immensely. I have one question regarding your right leg and the way that it kind of drops into a bend from straight just before you start your backswing. Is this something you advise or just one of your idiosyncrasies? Thanks Jonny

24. clemshaw Said,

    Thanks for the question!
    What you need to do is feel the weight of the big unit of the arms and club at address like in the “Golf Swing Medicine” video; also have a look at the “Tilted Spiral part 2″ video where I show you how to use the Big and Heavy Momentum to hit through the ball and not a manipulated force of the arms;
    Shawn

25. towkay27 Said,

    Hi Shawn, just got your DVD… love it! Especially the reggae music at the start A question, how far ideally to place the club face behind the ball when at address b4 swinging. I see some players, i.e., Daniel Chopra levitating all clubs above the ground. Some higher than others. I tend to ground A LOT and this method seems to help, but only sometimes. Is this method acceptable to you? Thanks!
