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! 😍👏👏👏

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?

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.

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

I’m finding that a good swing thought is to really complete my follow by continuing with my right side rotation. As long as I feel my bellybutton rotate away at the start of the backswing I can be fairly sure I get loaded into a good position to start the right side movement. I was dragging my left arm before, but now it’s just there for stability.

A strong grip can also have an opening effect on the clubface going back. Surely a strong grip, with a cupped wrist, will therefore require less manipulation/swing speed to square the face at impact?
@mikemoodieАй бұрын
As a kid, many moons ago, I figured out on my own that a bowed wrist could cure my slice. Unfortunately, I didn't figure out (or realise) that I also had an OTT swing. I've spent my golfing life fighting a steep swing pull-hook as a result. Do I move to a stronger-grip cupped position, as my swing speed is diminishing, rather than persevere with the bowed wrist. Love your videos!

Dan, getting the elbow on the right hip obviously shortens the radius between the body and the circumference of the arc, so how do you get the club head back on the ball instead of missing on the inside of it?

Thank you! I have been telling my current golf coach that my body will not let me get into certain positions due to my barrel chest + years of bodybuilding

As I stated in one of your previous videos, I used both methods. The "new release" is more accurate but it doesn't create as much club head speed. Using the "new" release I average about 125 yards with my 7 iron but with my older release I average about 155 yards. The modern players create power by dropping down on their downswing and then pushing up with their legs. However, learning this method requires a lot of work, I'm not convinced that the average golfer can dip and push off like the pros do. Many youtube golfers say "This is how Rory does it...." However, 99% of golfers are not Rory and they make it to the range 2-3 x weekly and therefore they can't put in the same amount of practice. I'm not sold on this method for the average golfer, it may make them more accurate but they will lose many yards unless they learn push off with their legs.
@williamkernerАй бұрын
I've done both. However, the "new release" is more accurate but it is a slower release therefore you will have less distance. I hit my 7 iron 125 with the "new" release and with my older release I hit it 150 yards.

Weird review at points. I understand some things but not everything he says makes sense. I'd say the club sucks inside cause it's bent. This device could definitely help people who are just learning or have never felt true impact before and maybe for advanced golfers not a full speed swing but half speed 50 yd shots prioritizing mechanics while just trying to feel that impact position at the bottom. There's also a non bent shaft version that I think Dan would prefer and would be more useful for advanced golfers.

Hogan said he was much better in 1948 although arguable because of his 1953 record. I agree his swing looked better in 1948 but he got better at playing golf post accident which as we all know there are the infinite variables to deal with.

I gone back and forth, bowed wrist is fine but my ball flight is much lower as you said. It lands harder and rolls out. So, depends on the course. I use it for low irons mostly

people dont realize traditional swing, they square the club going to impact and release or roll it after impact. The key word here is after impact they roll it. They are not rolling it before the impact.

Disagree, even Tiger says light is right! Tension is directly related to grip pressure. You can’t have tight grip pressure and relaxed forearms. Centrifugal force will increase pressure on the downswing, starting out tense will never allow a player to play fearless golf and swing target focused and balanced

He said he never swung any better than he did in 48. That's what he said. He was never better than he was before the accident. So the swing that you keep saying is so screwed up is the best swing he ever had. He just happened to have a car accident that made him change it.

The past few years after golfing for 30 years I've developed a sore left thumb. I believe I took the grip for granite, the left thumb became long and disconnected. By really concentrating on connecting the left thumb and thinking about the three pressure points, I have much less pain at the top of the swing. Thanks Dan!!!
