Hey everyone, Shawn Sav & Mu at your service. And today, as you saw in the title, several of you
are going to be getting some big bursts of speed. I had a student just today. Again,
it happens on a regular basis, 99 miles per hour club speed hitting the driver 220 yards because
no release needed a good solid release. We're going to show you how that works. The angle of
attack was on the way down and the clubface was wide open. So it was wide open for two reasons,
it wasn't closed enough, to begin with, and B the release sucked. So we proceeded within 15 minutes
to increase that to 220 yards, to something that looks a little more like yourself
at 255 carries those are your old numbers. 255 carry and 270 yards total. So we go from two 20
total to two 70 total. That's 50 yards. So we're really not exaggerating the numbers, and this
is not clickbait. So you want to stick around because the information we're going to show you
is not only well within you. And you notice all the tools that I got. You've done this before
in other sports and you not even, you're not even aware of it. So stay tuned and we'll show you
But of course, we would really love for you to stick around forever and subscribe to our channel
leave a comment down below and give us a thumbs up and be sure to hit the bell. So
you never miss the videos forever, California hotel, California does it. So get yourself
a household hammer. So let's say you're hammering down on something, right And then you want to
hammer through on something. So you get set up to a doorframe right next to it. Don't hit it and
pretend the doorframe is not going to hold after you're done coming through the doorframe. You
can't hang on to this. You've got to let it release. This is what we call pronation. So
if I do it towards you, I'm coming in. There's the nail through the doorframe. And after that occurs,
I got to allow the hammer to release. So notice how the hammer releases my anatomy
and re-hinges on the other side.
Now I can release in the opposite direction. So if your lead hand dominant,
so some of you were playing right-handed, but your left hand dominant or vice versa,
like Phil Mickelson, he plays left-handed, but he's, right-hand dominant. He's got a right-handed
throwing arm. So I'm going to get ready to hammer this way when I'm done that shoulder needs relief.
So what happens is the elbow kicks down and allows the hammer to release. So you
see that supinated and needed release. So if I go towards you through the doorframe, let it release
right there. So now, if you look at a tennis player, go to Pete Sampras, protonated serve.
If I'm serving you, you like my beautiful aluminum racket. This is my high school racket.
I still have. This is Owen Davidson. It's the got the serial number on this thing.
So I'm going towards you notice how the racket looks like it's going to split the tennis ball.
And then after it releases, see the pronation. So I'm releasing and my anatomy needs relief.
And this is self-preservation. One-on-one you don't want to take out a kneecap
while you're trying to serve a tennis ball. So there's that release. If I had a sword
and I want it to slash a sword through a bamboo shoot, take your club upside down,
give it a good slash through an imaginary sugarcane or bamboo shoot. And you see and
feel how the weight of the sword is going to release you. So if your trail hand does this,
the lead hand must yield for so many of you, you're going to slash this way and take out
your shoulder or have to let go of the club. I see this all the time. So you can't let go of the club
and notice how that elbow's got to kick down to allow the hand to fully release and fully yield.
So if I'm playing hockey and I'm releasing towards you, this would stay under the camera, see that,
and this would be flipping over the boards. The puck's going to slide off and go high and very
soft. So if you're hitting with a lot of spins and the balls trailing off, and it's sliding
off the face, that's a really crappy field to have with the driver. And it's, you're just, I,
I, I'm trying to find the polite term, but you're just, you know, leaving a lot on the table,
right So when I'm throwing towards you notice how my lead hands got to release and my trail
hand is releasing over it here. So I am actually collecting the ball there and releasing the ball
into the picture over here. So that's the general outlook of the release. So when you do get that
release and you observe the ball flight and the ball flight is still going to the right for the
righty, this is what would happen with Savannah. Savannah, take your driver, come over here.
And if you're
The grip is not strong enough, so you remember, we talked about the hammer, I'm hammering down.
Now I'm going to hammer through, go ahead and take your grip right next to me Sav. So the face
of my hammer in the face of Savannah's driver. Do you see any difference right now Look at my grip?
Look at Sam's grip. That's a very strong grip for me, that would be snap hook city because I have
a much more effective or a much more pronounced release. I wouldn't say more effective cause your
release is very effective. But my, my release is very pronounced. I have a very, big range of
motion in my release that brings the ball back for me and it keeps me through the ball. Thanks, dear.
So if you
Add a couple of knuckles and the release and the balls going the way you want to, that's
the way it needs to be for you. If you release out there with four knuckles and the, and the ball is
hooking too much, then taken up a lot off or too, as long as you have that release, however,
it's, there's a big burst of speed that exists in that space. You cannot hang on to it. That's like
a check, swing, and baseball. That's like a check, swing, and ping pong. Instead of allowing that
ping pong racket to fully release through that topspin backhand smash release. You got that. All
right. So let's look at in the swing. What's what that's, what's going to transpire. So if I take
My little
Right-handed seven iron, so I'm going to hit a little draw and playing the ball back.
Notice how I'm behind there's, I'm getting ready
to hammer in that direction. So I'm going to be hammering to the right of my intermediate point.
Now I'm just going to throw the club with ease in that direction.
The ball starts off to the right
Draws back to the centerline. Boom, there's my lovely seven-iron that's. I'll take that
up. So my carry typically with a seven iron is between one 85
and one 90, and we got one 87 on that one. Fantastic. Okay. So now let's look at
The driver. If I do the same thing
Mu loves to take a couple of upside-down releases, especially with that lead hand, see that hand
never let go of that lead hand and really allow it to fully rotate.
Speaker 3: So here's a little draw.
I'm just going to throw it to the right edge of that intermediate point.
There we go,
Goes to the right, coming back, beautifully nice flight right center of the fairway
and lovely little draw about 3O7 yards total down the right center of the fairway.
Okay. So
That's why at age 55, I'm very much benefiting from 110 miles per hour. I can crank it up there
to about 120 miles an hour if I want to open things up, but that's my cruising speed. So 110
miles an hour. It should get you over 300 yards. If your elements, if the swing elements are there.
So, we need a close face, we need a release and we need to catch that sucker on the way up and to the
right. So we give it a little draw, spin with very low backspin. Okay. That's how we increase that
speed and decrease the spin. So let's have a look at a couple of my favorite lefties on the planet
here that have really improved their techniques, as of recent. So, you know, Sav has done a couple
of one and done in the last video that was 299 total. And let's see if she can do it now.
So sad. How do you like my racquet?
Vintage That's good, that's a very polite term for it.
I like vintage. All right. So Sam is going to show you in from her tennis days. It
A beautiful topspin backhand. We're gonna do one that way
and we're going to do one toward the camera. So show us in slowly
Waiting for that. It goes down and under up.
So did you guys see that release of her left hand over the right hand there
That's how
You get, you create that spin, right So if you just do that, that's like a defensive,
you know, stop the tennis ball versus there you get that
burst of speed through that release do on toward the camera now.
Excellent. So let's go with the driver. So the,
A really good way to translate what we just did. So Savannah did a topspin backend
and we want to do that down the line. So imagine you were in with your driver swing is you're going
left edge of the intermediate point, starting to the left of the target and drawing it back.
So it's like, you're trying to start the tennis ball, just a little the line
and drawback into the tennis court. Yeah. So for you tennis players out there, there's your cue.
Yeah,
Beauty. So just outside the court, back to inside the court and the whole hum, 280 yard total, right
I know you're not happy with that because this is not what you've been doing lately,
but I really love It's just low the face that's it. So it was just, it was just a little bit low
on the face. That's all. But look at that. This is what I wanted to show everybody. You were,
your swing was going out to the left. Your face was two and a half, 2.9 degrees closed. But the
clubhead speed is still over 105mph. You caught it on the way up. So you're, it's like you're doing a
topspin, and look at that. Backspin even though you hit that low on the face, you're still 2200
spin. That's phenomenal. So this is going to give you really good misses. So I want to, I want
it to show you one of Sav's misses. Okay. Then let's see if we can get her to nut one for you.
There It is. How was that sound
So a good demonstration on the nut? You still got the same speed,
but we nutted that right on the kisser 10 degrees up. Look at the spin. Now
1,650 and just a little bit closed. What a perfect drive that was. Look at that two 85 carries
308mph, total man. That's it's just amazing. Yes, that was amazing.
So the improvement and I have to congratulate you, Sam, you and move and working your tail feathers.
Yeah. You can include some of my workout clips in the view.
Yes, I'll do that. I'll here is Sav working out.
Make more sense if they see what kind of stuff I do. Exactly. It's good. A
good idea. I really appreciate that. All right. So let's see what Mus' got.
Dude. You hit that with mass. There we go. The move is a one-trick,
one shot. Look at that. That felt good. Isn't that pretty I mean,
How long was that
Just a beautiful drive man. Okay. So right in the center of the face, look at that six degrees up
2100rpm, almost 2200rpm spin. The Clubface was only two and a half or 2.2 degrees closed.
That's your cruising speed at 128mph clubhead speed. So the carry-on that was 330 yards, just
flipping gorgeous drive. So this is how, this is exactly what we're talking about
now, while I'm showing you the replay, you're going to see mood doing him, his little drills
with his one hand, you know, just so you can see the release there. And here is the replays and
notice that the shot starts off beautifully out there and just comes right backlands
a little left, takes a nice bounce. And now we're, we're just about 20 feet from the centerline at
350 yards. Just amazing. So fun. Right Yeah. So to recap, we need a strong enough grip.
We need a full release of the anatomy and we need a proper focus.
We're hitting the ball or catching the tip of the tee. So if you want to go see a couple of
our other videos, just type in the driver, Shawn Clement on YouTube and see all the
driver videos we've done throughout the years, the technique never changes. We're always catching the
tip of the tee on the way up as we're releasing into the target. So the burst of speed, that peak
speed of the swing is out there in the direction of the target, right So that's why you'll see,
you know, Sav & Mu and myself, there's this beautiful deep squat. We're getting the ground
to deliver the action way out there into the direction that we want to start the ball.
So when you have those ingredients in place, you can really shine with the driver and we
really want this for you. Okay. So if you need extra help, go to our premium channel,
go to wisdom and golf, premium.com, where we have videos, the three of us, myself, where we
have face on down the line cameras. When you see us on the golf course, we have a nice drone view
from the top and we have some GoPro views as well. So you really get a three dimensional picture of
what we're showing you and what we're transmitting to you. Okay. So see you next week. All the best
