What I see is alot of people getting good numbers on a trackman playing from a golf mat, but shite out playing for real.

Talking too much..... Asking.. you teaching English or Golf....

Wrong. Shallowing is bs. Clubhead and hands should be on correct path. Hand path is the most important

The shoulder release at 2:39 has completely transformed my game with a hugely increased range of motion in my shoulders and helping me find a consistent plane - wish I had known this 20 years ago! Thank you so much!

Who’s bothered about how you look, if you get the results that’s what counts.

Thanks Dan! One of the best videos on this topic

Can you do this successfully with the driver

Nice and clear

KRONK 101. HOGAN HAS POPEYES LEFT ARM WITH SUPER STRAIGHT GRIP😊

Yeah. Strengthen that grip so you have nice tight forearms. The two are connected. I prefer to go lighter (not loose) to relax a bit to feel the club head Good luck.

Very useful.Thanks

I think Hogan would agree that the release is dictated by the big muscles and the hands and arms react more or less passively, that the hands and arms “just come along for the ride.”

This is KEY & VITAL and is often overlooked. Overlook this & there are MULTIPLE negative DOMINO effects OMG 😀

You should credit Faldo for this drill. Plus, in the preset position, , your club head should match the angle of your spine. Your club head is too vertical.

@26:18 he’s hitting a punch shot

I used a strong grip, slicing everything, pros teach a strong grip because they are very athletic, and can quickly clear out there front hip to sqyare up the club face. Iam old I cannot do that. I use a normal grip, no more slicing, straight or slight draw now. Now if you use a strong grip and it works for you thats great! Just not for me.

I was told to watch you for the reverse K position and now this video has brought it all together. Less effort and more gain. Brilliant as you’ve stopped me flipping. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺

Thanks for a thorough explanation of the reverse K set up.

Excellent drill and explanation on how to hinge the wrists and what a fully cocked wrist hinge looks and what it feels like.

Neither Hogan, Jones or Sneed did what you are talking about. They were old school. What you are talking about is some crappy teaching about leg drive that was heavily promoted by Bob Toski and hurt many. We need to stop pretending that there is anything new in the golf swing.

It is not ‘either or’. Hogan did both. The best swings coordinate both body turn with forearm rotation. The wrist flip that as demonstrated arises only from coming into impact too much from the inside. Too much is made of this. We all did ‘hit and hold’ in the 1960s. It was called a punch shot. The so called modern way is a contrived theory.

Great concise explanation and demonstration. Thank you

Dan in one of your videos Impact Leverage and Compression KZbin video. - it’s Brilliant and compliments this one to a tee. I really liked how you placed a STIX in the grip end to demonstrate the correct half way back position and then also staying on plane back down into the Delivery position. It reminded me of a Lazer Beam set where you attach one to the grip end and one just above the club face. QUESTION Please could you discuss maybe in a new video how the shoulders work in relation to the downswing and through swing. I sense they work in a Hub & Spoke fashion almost from the start of the downswing. I am particularly interested to get your thoughts on their timing in relation to the hands & arms swinging the club down the arc and back out to the ball. How do you best time the body rotating open in time for the arrival at the P6 Delivery Position?

Hi Dan, I’m a massive fan of your excellent clear explanation of the differences between the old school and the modern day body release golf swing. One thing you said was whether it was a draw or a fade the basic body controlled release / fundamentals of the swing now stays the same. Please could you do a video where you demonstrate the technique for a draw or a fade in the modern swing? Myles

casting fat shot lol

I’d like to know the position of my right arm, elbow and hips at the moment of impact. What does that look like statically?

Love everything about this video. 100% the best explanation and instruction about lifting the heel on the backswing. Thx Dan. 👍⛳🏌‍♂

Your thinking too much

This video hits different now. Thanks man

Does this work for ppl who use a bowed wrist with the lead hand.

Very cool and well explained mate.

Dan, I have been incorporating this move gradually into my swing and I find that it does improve my ball striking. It seems to me when I do this, I feel that I have more time to get to the ball on my downswing, makes room for my club to go through and helps to keep my head behind the ball. Does this make sense to you?

So basically a hockey slap shot

Dan you are an awesome instructor! You really have a gift of knowing how to explain the golf swing by illustrating how the body moves through the golf ball! Bravo!! Well done! 😍👏👏👏

Excellent lesson! 👏👏👏😍

you just have to watch the long drive guys to see the lifting of the left heel ... did I mention bryson who does long drive too?

This has been key to me getting rotation, especially in the backswing. If I set the club early and upward, I can simply turn the club back and get it laid off automatically. The Kawa swing has a similar concept. Late wrist set is such a killer.

This makes a lot of sense. How do you then recreate that in the full swing with presetting? Any simple things or thoughts to help achieve it?

2 major's this year!

This is exactly what I need! Noticing 5 years ago, is there an updated video on this concept?👍

started playing again early January this year, shooting low 90s consistently. Recently got a golf coach and he is def teaching me the 'old school" hands release, i do leave the club face a tad open and hit week fady shots with irons at times so possibly he is making me feel my hands turn thru more to solve it? would love some input by anyone

I naturally do this. Probably stems from my baseball days. I've had people tell me not to do it in my golf swing, but keeping my heel down feels stiff and unnatural.

At the tender age of 70, I was trying this very move out in my backyard net in order to facilitate a better backswing turn, and was getting superb contact and great strikes. Decided to look on KZbin and low and behind found Dan's video and confirmation that this does indeed help in the backswing. Like everything else in golf I found many other opinions that were contrarian , but the proof for me was in the pudding. IT WORKS! Thanks from a Nova Scotia subscriber. Cheers.

Can this go on a driver?

That’s not long thumb, long thumb is finau grip with thumb perpendicular to palm

Thanks.
