Dan is correct. Follow overhand golf, they are both dead on. To throw the club at the ball you have to release or leverage force before the ball. Club is designed that way. It’s not a bat. Club face is off the axis of club. I’m not explaining that well, sorry. But this is huge, see overhand golf. Complimentary channels

I started doing this recently, and my scores have dropped, rather significantly

I have a used set of clubs that I used for throwing at the target. I quit because my ball striking did not improve. When I started using the PRO I discovered that I needed to sling the PRO to the ground and not the target. Today, I explored throwing the clue and to the ground and I videoed both going to the ground and the target. To the ground with the club and PRO look very similar in motion. When I used a ball I had to throw the club to the ground in front of the ball. That changed everything for me. In the bunker I used behind the ball.

Man, I've been a student of your swing with the Pro for yearsalthough I've never had a lesson with you. But I have felt the Angular momentum feeling that you have been talking about. I've been re watching your videos again and again and my understanding of the information is clicking so much better AFTER the feeling has been felt. Thank you.

I'll do you one better - my intention is throwing the force well behind the ball (early release) and letting momentum just carry through the ball. May be a feel vs real thing but the more I feel I'm going behind and letting it go, the better I do.

Hi Dan - another great video. Can't tell you how much your teaching has revolutionized my ball striking. Curious if you would do a video about hitting out of long rough. That is an area I struggle with and feel I need to apply leverage to the club in order to get the ball out. Keep up the great videos! Very much appreciated.

Hey Dan , i would hope the gentleman who wrote the concept on throwing the club at the target ,i believe he was thinking that we would turn it into a golf swing to actually hit the ball, but you definitely made his piont clearer, i watched a few of his videos and he had a great golf mind , stern in his approach, but a great golf mind, you're an outstanding teacher, but it was all about the game of golf, so I'm thinking he thought that we the student would understand to get that feeling but direct towards the ball. No? feels and reals ,its the great unknown in the golf swing.

I’m confused by this as well. Exactly what are you throwing at the ball and how?

fred was close it gives awareness at throwing the club at the target butttttt throwing it at the ball is generally the mechanics/ body movement everyone needs and should have, thanks for bringing this in video

The drill should.be to throw the club out to the right..not to the target..he even seems confused hinself

Does this apply in any way the Duval's throw behind him? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIjOin2ro7WJqZY

I have worked with Fred over the years. If you take a lesson with him, he has you throw the club at the ball, just as you described.

Very interesting video -- you clarified the difference and explaining the clubface made the difference.

This is totally inconsistent with your theory of where momentum is released and your pro throw video about 3 feet behind the ball. Please clarify this to us pro owners.

Great video , i use the throwing the club motion whenever i feel a bit stuck , mis aligned or even a bit tense , it synchs me up and gets my natural alignment and posture back , the actual swing is always directed for me into the back of the ball between 9 and10 oclock depending with the intention of going into the ground although i very very rarely take a divot more a shave , that is the intention and aim . I only use the throw feels to synch up my timing and stop damaging swing thoughts or wobbles . Club and or clubhead follows lead arm ( like throwing) that is my only allowed thought and feel .

Does the same intent apply to the driver or is it different because the ball is on a tee?

I am familiar with the drill. That's a good call to elaborate on it and improve it.

Great video. Are you throwing whole club or club head at the ball? Thanks.

A golf shot is not a hit it's a strike, the strike isnt a strike its a swing, the swing isn't a swing its a sling......job security 101! Lol!

Thanks for clarifying the difference and the great explanation of the throw.

I’ve been asking this question for years. If the golf swing is a “ throw” ( I feel it is) what are you throwing and WHERE ARE YOU THROWING IT. This is the first time I’ve had a logical answer. Ps I’m a Fred Shoemaker fan. Thanks for this. The golf jigsaw is nearly complete.

I remember this. Hardest drill of my life. One time, my club got thrown 30 feet high into the fence.

I always wondered if a training club you can hit balls with thats counter weighted so the grip end is heavier or equal to the clubhead end would work. Obviously ball flight would be muted but you always see drills to turn the club over and take practice swings to hear the swoosh, or even the whippy clubs but you cant hit balls. No disrespect to the pro or rope drills but it just doesn't capture the actual activity we're pursuing. Anyway swinging the entire club mechanism on plane in balance consistently is the goal so gotta find a way. Ive had good success using that DL3 Freddy Couples drill of swinging like 1/4 speed and just swing the whole club in control no levering at all, and getting the brain to absolutely not care one little bit how far the ball goes or how far offline ir anything else. Just have the brain focus on the whole clib swinging action as we strike the ball almost non chalauntly because really thats the process. The strike is simply a result of the clean full swinging action.

I've been a student of yours for years( on KZbin). Your explanation of the physics of golf is unique in golf instruction. Once I u derstood the physics of the swing, it works as long as you execute it perfectly. On my journey to perfect it .

Dan, This is an amazing video. I went outside and practiced this, making me aware of my backswing faults. Before, I had no sense of my right arm being too tight to my body, even though I knew it was my major fault. When I watched my arm in the proper position I finally could feel and be aware of my arm structure it clicked. When I brought the club down I kept my arms in front of my body without being trapped. Thank you! I'm taking it in pieces. Next, I will work on my follow-through.

You explained exactly how i have been feeling and reacting to feels i search for than forget. Very intelligent perception. Glad i'm not the only player with this specific frustration. Thanks...

Yep. Although, most people's belief of what the club needs to do is actually wrong, so even it they performed their ideal swing perfectly it wouldn't work very well. I'm sure that statement will upset a lot of people, but it's true. 99.5% of golfers are using the club incorrectly. The golf club is not a "common sense" tool as everyone thinks. It's an amazingly efficient, well engineered tool disguised as a stick with a lump of metal at the end.

Thanks Dan, i strongly suspect this is a very important lesson, going to introduce it in my practice sessions , cheers

Thank you Dan, I'm so glad you hit on this video, in some videos you show your eyes and head follow the pro all the way back and down and it's helped me stop coming over the top, if you can believe that, I'm the guy who just wants to go after the ball , and I think that's the biggest factor for coming over the top, and you've stated many time we need a full shoulder turn , that was a eye opener for myself, I thought I had a full back swing but it was more with my arms then with my shoulder plane and upper torso, when I watched my swing it's gave me a complete back swing , which was a completely differnt feeling than I was used to , those 2 things you've talked about for years have helped me beyond believe. 2 very simple drills if you think about it, Thanks again, Dan, absolutely love your concepts on how the golf swing works.

I don’t own one, but I wonder what is your opinion of the Live View camera?

Hey Dan, i love going back and watching you're video over, of course i miss alot of little pionts you make, anyway i wanted to make another comment about a short game video ive been checking out. the guys name is the short game chef, idk a guess a cool name, he teaches some tour pros along with amateur golfers, what he's talking about with the short game i believe, matches your teaching, its much more of a body rotation coming in shallower and having more spin and control than the chip thats steep and more of a downward blow that would use wrist hing and a bigger back swing, hes proven already that shorter shallower back swing can produce great spin with much better distance control. idk i thought of your theory while listening to him talk about the swing. i sure you know who he is just wondering what you're thoughts were on what hes teaching? Thanks Dan , be safe and please keep bring you're teaching out to the public, is so on piont, that in my eyes there is no debate on how to properly swing a golf club.

Dan , I am your height , do you have a more upright set of clubs or flatter , than the standard ?

Dan , do you recommend to swing the pro with the index fingers and Thumbs ? As to the real club , would the hold be in the similar place ? Hogan called them swing wreckers ? But than again, I am not into Hogan . I am more Bobby Jones , Ernest Jones , Mike Austin camp of slinging the club . Be blessed Regards Ross

Hi Dan, Hope you are having a good start to the summer. Love the videos and much appreciated. Question, do you still offer the Pro as an individual purchase?

Maybe the greatest drill in golf ….explains not only the turn but most importantly the release…

LOL! 2:00-2:10 "I guess he's seen my golf swing!" He described it perfectly.

Dan, Is this also possible with a driver?

Dan, Is this also possible with a driver?

Love the idea and I would love to have the PRO…. Paying $500 for one…. WOW

Nope, sorry. Not semantics at all.

How does this Theory play in with high balance clubs or counterbalance clubs? For example I know Shane Lowry uses tents a orange shafts which are very high balance so meaning the weights more toward the grip how does this fit in with this narrative?

I've never seen any type of video with this teaching concept. I'm a single digit HC and this was very eye opening.... thank you for a great instructional video!

This works if you're right eye dominant and right handed

Looks like an infomercial

Great information…again You seem to thread all the holes with your kneel of information and correct info to boot Simple swing means balance

The words that you used and meaning of them in this video is the truth and nothing but the truth Spot on

This is the motion you used on the instagram video showing the young man how to strike the impact bag with the PRO, correct? Maybe a short clip of that motion, too? Thanks.

Hey Dan im looking back on some older videos, just a refresher course i might say, unbelievable concepts youve brought to golfers, really,your no doubt born to be a teacher/ coach, every video is explained so well and understandable, i use your terminologies with my golf buddies, and ive help them understand how the body WANTS to work in a golf swing. quick side note, i really took interest in your teaching because of many injuries ive occurred by swing the golf club the wrong way, i was absolutely muscling my swing for many years , im self taught from the school of hard knocks lol, anyway very long comment just to say Thank you. its changed my outlook and my golf game 100% ,,for the better.

hi just asking what does the golf pro do that something like the orange whip or similar does not do ? thanks
