Golf Pro Lesson: Top View of Golf Swing

Posted by Golfer on Aug-24-2010

www.shawnclementgolf.com Shawn Clement, Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre, and one of Canada’s top PGA teachers, shows you an above the head view of the golf swing to demonstrate how the rib cage and the pelvis turn on top of the hips and legs to completely get out of the way of the arm-club unit.

    Wow….that was very well done Shawn….thanks for all you do.

  2. jkpassage Said,

    Absolutely, one of the best videos ever produced. This is the vantage point that we “see” in our swing. Shawn, thanks for giving us so much instruction and great advice. Jeff P.

  3. hooptime Said,

    The master, back with another video. The whole righty and lefty thing – that’s just not right!! Echo Michael10659, thank you.

  4. FairwayJack Said,

    Innovative !! I’ve never seen this perspective on the swing. Thx !!

  5. RedwoodGeorge Said,

    Shawn – I don’t know why, but when you explain the swing it seems so simple and makes so much sense. The biggest way you’ve helped improve my game is that I don’t worry so about the mechanics anymore – it just works out right because my body already knows how to do it :-)

  6. NikeGolf118 Said,

    Great vid Shawn!

  7. scorpiossnakes Said,

    best part of the video is imagining you driving around with a skeleton in the cart

  8. clemshaw Said,

    @scorpiossnakes I had just finished filming my entry for the golf channel…:) Shawn

  9. itsadryheat Said,

    @RedwoodGeorge That is exactly how I feel. I was a plagued by way too much technical information swimming around in my head. i’ve told more than one person that, of all the lessons I’ve taken, this guy on youtube has done more for my game of recent than any others.

  10. mjs0039 Said,

    Awesome video Shawn….You are wonderful………what simplicity…Thanks

    Hi Shawn,
    I hope you get the golf channel job! Your the best! My question is with the driver does your feet go outside the shoulders to support the swing?
    I just realized my stance is to wide for the irons. Does the same hold true for the driver?

  12. badabingg42 Said,

    Good description of letting the arms move freely, however, many folks may have some health condition that does not allow an adequate turn, which I would assume are using “all arms”. Thanks.

  13. jayandsyd Said,

    Great perspective of the golf swing, you should do one on the address and ball position from this top view!!! Watch out Michael Breed!!!

  14. pokerlife123 Said,

    Great video Shawn! Today i was hitting the ball horrible and noticed it was because my weight wasn’t getting to my left foot in time.
    So i widened my stance and the weight transfer was easier. I also hit the ball a lot better but it felt like it was all arms.

    So do you think my stance was to narrow or my weight transfer is just bad?

  15. tigerwoodcourt Said,

    I just dig Skully in the background. It looks so out of place on a golf course, but like Shawn says, “Skully is his most important assistant.”

  16. bbavier Said,

    Thanks for sharing your vast golf knowledge. I find it to be very helpful!

  17. clemshaw Said,

    @mbroder682 Yes; just slightly outside the shoulders with the driver;
    Shawn

  18. clemshaw Said,

    @pokerlife123 The best videos for you to see are “golf pro lesson ridiculously easy”, “golf pro lesson the insanity of golf” and “golf pro lesson how to focus” part 1 and 2; you will understand when you see them…:) Shawn

  19. scorpiossnakes Said,

    @clemshaw best of luck … can’t wait to see u in GC
