Top 25 Golf Pro Lesson Finish Position
www.shawnclementgolf.com Shawn Clement, Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre, and CPGA Professional, shows you how your finish position is used as a tuning fork to your golf swing; to hold your finish will help increase your awareness as to what is happening in your swing;
aren’t you supposed to thrust with the hips when hitting the iron? or is it just a lateral movement of the hips?
why would u toss a horse shoe
It is actually a game where we try to wrap the horse shoe around a metal stake in the ground at about 10 paces away using an underhanded toss technique like in softball…great for beach parties and for short game practice!

I’m at university in St Andrews and have just started to learn to play. Brilliant video.
Love the vids. I don’t suck so bad now.(naa i still suck) Practice,practice, practice. Thanks bro
great vid, thanks
A very appreciative note from Italy. As a non athletic 50 y/old high handicapper, it’s amazing how I could finally understand and “feel” a dinamic and balaced swing with a square impact. Golf teachers do not generally tell you that 80% happens passively. You are excellent in explaining the technical reasons without making it “mechanical”. You gave me the real keys to allow my body to learn by feel,with so much more clubhead velocity but relaxed tempo, and looking good!
You are great! Thank you
Mille Gracie pgiorg! I am happy that you are enjoying the videos and that it is helping your golf!
Shawn
Great analogy with the car trip!
Dan
As a beginner the videos that you have posted have been great at helping me progress, so thank you very much.
One quick question, when i finish a full swing my club always seems to end up in quite a vertical position out in front me, rather than wrapping around the back of my head. Is this something i need to alter or not?
Ash
Shawn, is it okay if your one swing thought is your finished position?
As long as what you feel through impact is an effortless and powerful whip of the club and not a shoving motion;
Shawn
As long as the feel that got you there is the effortless and powerful whip through the ball and to the target!

Shawn, I was wondering about your comment about the back foot staying down. I notice with irons, a lot of the professionals do what your saying. With the Driver. however i notice some lift in their back foot like Adam Scott and Tiger Woods as examples. I’m just curious if you could give a explanation. Obviously, the driver is longer, so is the pull different because of that?
Hey good question!
If that back foot is coming off, it means there is a compensation going on or some extra thrusting to try and promote more juice coming through; have a look at my “Golf Pro Lesson Leverage Power” video for more on this; Shawn
Well, i have been looking around and found out that the right heel coming off the ground in the downswing with the driver is used to delay the wrists. Do you agree with this?
My finish position felt manipulated because it was my only focus on the range 20 minutes ago. It worked like a charm, got the smash back, and straight shots.
But my back foot stayed down until after impact, even though I felt it was manipulated, so I guess its okay?
Hey Scampern!
Back foot will stay down easily when you maintain tilt in the downswing (right leg stays as support system for the head in the downswing) and especially when you have enough backswing to effortlessly whip the snot out of the club to the target without feeling the need to thrust with the right side!
Thanks again for the comment! Shawn
I think I didn’t write it clearly enough the last time.
I felt I was manipulating the finish, with having that as my only forward. It felt like I was raising my foot to get to the finish as I swung trough. But I noticed the foot stayed down, even though it didn’t feel like it.
I guess here comes the importance of feel versus fact.
I think maybe the focus of getting to the finish no matter what forced my body to not sway, because then it would be “impossible ” to get there.
Is this wrong?
HMMM; sounds like you are trying to keep the head down too long and are not allowing the body to get out of the way of the arm motion; see how you do with either a heavy club or with weighted training gloves like in the “Golf Pro Lesson Nike Heavy Gloves” part 1 and 2 video; see also the “Golf Pro lesson “timing and tempo update” video for a free arm swing into the finish; Shawn
Just the tip I needed to hear before playing in my league today. Great Vid!
Dan
Hey Shawn,
Your videos are of great help and helps me to correct and fine tune my swing.
I see an issue with the way I finish. In my finish, my shoulders are not inline with midsection. I see that my upperbody is little behind, which makes a reverse “c” [ ) ] and cos of that finish,I see that i take lot of pressure on my back.
So I would like to know, is it a mistake to end up in that position? If yes, could you tell me where am I going wrong and how do I correct it.
Thanks a ton !!
A great way to feel the correct brace is in the “golf pro lesson one leg swing no weightshift” video; then see “golf pro lesson leverage power uphill”;
Shawn
Shawn, The finish to all your swings seems to be just left of your head as opposed to more around your neck. Is there a reason for this?
Jim
Of Course!
When properly braced against the left side, the only place for the arms to go is up! See “golf pro lesson timing and tempo update” and “golf pro lesson get more power and club speed” Shawn
