Anybody ever watch his videos on youtube? If so, what do you think? I've started watching and become a fan of his teaching style and a lot of his ideas.
bogeyhitter25
I love his videos. And he's responded to one of my comments saying that he play scratch lefty and righty, that's pretty impressive. He's a great teacher.
picrig
Yeah...have you seen his swing from both sides? It's pretty impressive. I still wonder how you start that. I mean, in a sport like baseball, there's some advantage to being a switch hitter, but I can't really see the advantage in golf.

I am also a big fan of Shawn. His youtube vids and his DVD gives a complete learning system, by which a new player can learn by analogies and sensations. His drills are helpful and his explanations make anatomical sense. I have seen plenty of teachers around me, none of them have 10% of the teaching ability Shawn has.
mirv
thumbs up to shawn, i've been watching his videos for a couple of months now. he's excellent at really clearly explaining what he's trying to convey.
Norm3333
His videos have helped me tremendously. I now use his hip turn and swing the club much slower and smoother. Amazing, but my ball travels further. I am also able to hit more balls at the driving range because I am not swinging as hard.
Etzwane
Shawn is very knowlegeable AND a great teacher, which is rare enough. I've been particularly inspired by his lessons on tempo, balance, lag, etc...
How helpful is Shawn's approach?
I have found Shawn's approach very helpful. In the past, I took numerous lessons, went to golf workshops, tried training aids, the whole nine yards. Shawn's approach has been very liberating. Using his drills and approach, I have gotten farther in the past 6 months that I did in the previous 6 years.
Who taught the swing?
Shawn Clement' s teachings are actually very "old school." He teaches the swing similarly to the way Ernest Jones, Manuel de la Torre, Harvey Penick, etc. taught the swing. To me, it is a superior way to learn the swing.
How to teach golf swing?
If you already know how to throw a ball, skip a stone or cast a fishing rod, you know the basics of the golf swing. Second, he has drills (which have been around for a long time because they work) that reinforce the correct movements and (most importantly) let the student feel a swing. The swing is taught as a whole. Third, there is a mental aspect to the videos. The emphasis is on swinging to the target. The movements are swing focused, not ball focused. The focus actually improves ball striking. The student learns to play golf, not golf positions and body parts.
What happens if a pro fills a lesson with lots of specific things?
But if your pro was filling a single lesson with lots of specific things (I wasn't sure from your description), then he was likely doing you a disservice. From what I've learned, most of us benefit from just one or two key things to work on between lessons.
Does Shawn teach throwing the club at the ball?
Shawn does not teach throwing the club at the ball, rather that good contact with the ball is an incidental effect of throwing the club at the target.
Is the Hogan Power Move video a Clement?
I think the Hogan power move video is an example of Clement where he's not wrong but the focus is not helpful to me and Clement is not inline at all with EJ here. To me it's a meh.
Is golf swing an athletic movement?
First, through analogies, he allows the student to understand that the golf swing is an athletic movement that is very similar to other athletic movements.
How to hit a golf ball straight to the target?
The ONLY way to hit a ball straight to the target is to make the club swing toward the target through impact with the club face square to the path. Anything else will produce a shot that curves. Therefore I assume that swinging the club in the direction of the target is an element of everyone's teaching, either expressly or implicitly. Clement is no exception although more explicit than some.
Is there such a thing as a natural golf swing?
There's no such thing as a natural golf swing. Nothing is natural about trying to swing a stick 100 mph and hit a golf ball. If people would feel more comfortable with unnatural feelings they'd probably get better faster. If it feels natural then you're just swinging the same way you always have.
