In this section, Shawn Clement makes an introduction
and talks about chipping and pitching. If you are having trouble keeping the
weight in your left foot and you tend to let the weight shift too much between
the legs. Role your back foot (the right foot) inward so there is no weight on
it and the leg feels completely relaxed and go through the perpetual motion
drill. As you swing back and through your back foot remains rolled in which
will force your butt to turn properly and keeps the pressure point against the
left side back and through. Using a medicine ball, Shawn Clemens will do a
drill that will make you understand the concept that gravity tracks the arms
and the club and not your body. The arms and the club do not rely on the body
for placement. Holding a medicine ball with your two hands, brace forward and
swing the ball back and through with your left hand staying under your hand
coming back and your right hand staying under your left hand coming through
In this section, Shawn Clement will demonstrate using
the same hip turn to hit a full golf swing. The purpose of turning your hips is
to allow your ribcage and the pelvis to completely get out of the way of the
movement of the arms.
