Thanks for watching!

[@nhatube69]

Dan's enthusiasm for explaining the concepts he's figured out is infectious and inspiring.

[@charlesgallagher7371]

That is very insightful, Nha. He is an enthusiastic teacher, the best sort of coach to be when imparting any skill. Dan blends the science and athletic movement brilliantly. Brendon, brings this out of Dan via their interaction. Its just a wonderful 20 minutes between two golf addicts who articulate the verbally illusive concept nugget by nugget. I've watched it five times since this morning.

[@nhatube69]

@@charlesgallagher7371 I agree!

[@edwinchan6521]

This goes back to a theory I really subscribe to by Ernest Jones (1950's teach with one leg) and his mentee Manuel De La Torre - "just swing the clubhead". They also have a training device which was a weight tied to a string, kind of just like this! I was reading a scientific breakdown of the forces (like a trebuchet) and the most efficient and powerful swing scientifically is one using centrifugal force which is advocated here too! Really nice to see old age theories getting confirmed by modern teachings and teachers! @Brendan if you fancy the link to the blog/research piece I was talking about let me know and I will send it to you! It's a very interesting reading, also mentions the relaxed wrist release much like the Milo Lines videos you did previously too, very very good content and work in this Covid time. Much appreciated and keep up the good work!

[@thomasesparza9175]

A kerchief and a penknife tied to the end was Ernest Jones’ training aid which he had his students swing and keep it taut.

[@truthofthematter2892]

I've been watching Dan's stuff for a few weeks now and it has given me that, "ah hah moment" in my swing. His theory is proven by tests that have been done on tour pros using GEARS. Those tests show that maximum excelleration peaks in the top third of the swing for tour pros. It feels to me like you fling your arms off the your chest at the top, then just let them swing free and loose letting them pull you through the finish.

[@teeno684]

Dan Martin is the Gary V in golfing. Can’t believe I just seen this video and never heard of him. Dan new fan of your teachings

[@quantumpotential7639]

Gary V applies the same principles of angular momentum in social media. Same deal. It's his deal Wade. "WAde, Wade, it's, it's my deal here." Gerry Lundergaarde .. Fargo

[@thomasesparza9175]

Your swing device reminds me of Ernest Jones who had his students swing a kerchief and penknife to feel their hands creating the swinging motion. They had to keep the kerchief taut. Bob Toski and Davis Love, Jr. mentioned this drill in their book, “How To Feel A Real Golf Swing”.

[@MrBadassbuddha]

This early momentum then ride it is very like Overhand Golf/Holy Grail content,

[@chrisstevens2593]

Exactly, the spot on the ground where Overhand golf teaches the golfer to direct the force is very similar. Maximizing momentum before impact rather than post impact makes more sense. If a person were to blend the use of The Pro with the Overhand Golf concept it might be truly the aholy Grail.

[@Frazer20]

Yea I’ve seen a few of his videos and the concept is identical to this. Would be worth getting Brendan’s view on his videos

[@chrisstevens2593]

@@Frazer20 I think both concepts are concluding the same thing. One is feel and the other intent

[@77bovi]

Overhand golf's visual are truly amazing. always so hard to bring a training aid feel to real but the holy grail as a visual is designed for real swings. More visual "intents" like that are needed in golf.

[@paulkoppenheffer5323]

Awesome concept. Super hard to figure out. I play with one guy who swings so smooth and he just destroys the ball. Never looks like he swing hard, just a great tempo and the ball just goes

[@Joe-qf9nv]

Dan the man! Love the golf swing chat, you’re clearly passionate about it and it shows! Thanks Brendon for all this incredible insight, I’ve worked on a lot of Milo lines teaching principles lately and it’s really helped with the effortless power. Dan’s momentum ideas remind me of malaska and Milo but Dan has explained and showed this fundamental very well with “the pro” 👏🏻

[@bladdison7816]

[@77bovi]

I have watched a few of those vids but I feel the format doesnt teach anything to the viewer. It's more like an advert to get you to go person. He has an interesting approach for sure

[@samanthagames1023]

This is fascinating - basically the opposite of everything we've heard for years about "lag" and it makes much more sense. I haven't got a "Pro" but if I swing a club with the feeing of "keeping the rope straight" it illustrates that I have spent years trying to lever the clubhead into place instead of swinging it. The pro produces a more natural swing and eliminates the sense of leverage. Brilliant stuff Brendan, your work ethic and determination have produced a great channel for all of us continually searching for golfs holy grail.

[@dand1363]

Does this mean we should be thinking about getting clubs with higher swing weights or should not that matter?

[@forrestgardener8906]

Dan has some good ideas but his attempted use of physics terms is just babble. And for Stefan Pete's benefit I taught Physics at a university level.And for Cad Pro state your qualifications and experience in physics. Go troll somewhere else.

[@arjanpetersen]

Well it is pretty correct what he is saying. You just didn’t had physics at school. So you basically are not smart enough. That is ok.

[@robbiewhite2351]

Maybe I’ve missed it, but do you just not do round vlogs anymore?

[@arjanpetersen]

I thought California was the same - shut down?

[@charlesgallagher7371]

I purchased this product and fooled around with it last summer, but I didn't physically translate the concept. I watched Dan's videos but just did not interpret well, I suspect because I let a lot of interference in from swinging my Pro like my golf club instead of swinging my golf club like the Pro. This video is the best one I have seen thus far on how to use the Pro; thanks to both of you for a superb discourse. And video. Dan, when do you fly back to MIT?

[@doctorswing1546]

Overhand Golf The Holy Grail does the best job of explaining how to correctly apply the initial direction of force. Takes all of the complexity out and changes your entire concept of how the club is moved.

[@FairwayJack]

I think there's a bit of the hammer throw in this 'PRO' concept ...I like it

[@nelsonjames1272]

It’s like a playground swing, how you get momentum pulling back and forth. The sit takes its place to create momentum. It’s more like a momentum with your legs than a sit , because that thought can throw you off. No pun intended.

[@steveng8727]

Yep Davis Love' father taught to 'drive a tent peg' that's positioned to the right of your right leg.

[@divac7777]

Where did you learn that?

[@LightningDogg]

For me it's been the hardest thing I've ever tried to learn in sports. All the crap lessons I've had, read and watched over the years about positions, transfer, movement etc are poison to a golf "swing". Now I'm just seeking that "feeling" of the club head pulling me through the swing. Teaching pro's will ruin you through analysis. Their way is maddening. Give a club to a 5 year old for the first time (with some guidance on how to place their hands) and watch them do it naturally.

[@tooleyswoodshed8476]

5 year old! you are so correct.

[@brucerussell5469]

Best video yet guys...thanks

[@golfdoc1950]

Another KZbin golf instructor, Paul Wilson, speaks of the experience all average golfers have of hitting a very small number of shots that seemed effortless but produced prodigious distances. Similar to what Dan is saying. They one time harnessed momentum but didn't grasp what they had done and couldn't reproduce it.

[@Tigersmundo]

*THIS IS THE MOVE!!! So the sit INITIATES the swing and in a weird way ends it consciously the Trebuchet has been triggered and you're essentially a passenger by P4. No going back after this enlightenment.*

[@christianhanley57]

Dan walks his talk...his slo-mo swing captures a catapult motion. He communicates (in this and other videos) the concept of angular momentum the best I ever heard. Thanks Dan, and you too Brandon for bringing Dan to my attention!

[@ericschroeder8932]

This is flat out brilliant. The more I watch this, and practice the "feel" in my living room, I can't help but think of Vijay Singh's swing.

[@TheSsteve70]

So glad I watched this

[@thomasfraser9072]

Both of you are talking about actually transferring momentum from the handle of the club to the club head which actually begins at the top of our downswing; and not, at the shallowing end of our downswing swing where many of us tend to “throw the club head away”. When we throw the club away we actually slows the club head down prematurely before we complete our swing. The idea with the Pro is never stopping the pushing motion of the handle that transfers to the equal and yet opposite pulling motion of the club head. If your body knows how to push a kid on a swing it also knows how to push the handle of a golf club at the transition of your downswing and through to the finish of your swing. Trust me the ‘Pushing’ of the handle at the top of your downswing will repels the club head causing it to pull on your hands. The club head pulling on your hands as you equally push the handle with both hands automatically creates the desired lagging of the club head at impact and through to the finish of your swing. It’s that simple as long as both your wrists must remain passive and unlocked throughout your entire swinging of the club. Cheers

[@spondiveswandive561]

So Tom your are pushing the handle starting from the top of backswing all the way to the finish of the swing?

[@9to5golfhughmanning88]

At 8:15 when Dan adds that speed the pro is very under control at the end of the motion. It's not running into his back with a lot of force or speed. Lot of similarity with the serve in tennis.

[@SwingLowLeft]

Brenden is naturally doing that swinging motion while killing time that Malaska tells him all the pros do, and he’s not thinking about. Good product.

[@jamiesloan7259]

I always grab my 3, and 4 iron from my bag to get loose. The weight of swinging both clubs together gives me a real sense of effortless momentum. What's funny is, after swinging those two clubs 10-15 times, I ALWAYS hit a beauty on that first tee. Then, as the round goes on, I start trying to manipulate things. Why!!!!???? lol

[@amihanov]

I hear you...

[@donaudleman7469]

If you want to confirm Dan’s hypothesis, get an Impact Caddie, which helps measure angular momentum speed at different resistances. Turn the resistance up high enough and the only way to get the desired sound effects is to use the principles Dan is teaching (I.e., max speed is in the first third of the downswing.)

[@divac7777]

extensive quantity of momentum, check...

[@bobrichter6]

Great video, same path of angular momentum as the "Holy Grail" plane board videos that are out there. This works like magic, it is the only force you need, no 'hit', no late force added, just down the plane board about a foot or two down the shaft, straight at the ball-target line, never at the ball or target. The club does the rest following the laws momentum. Think "Holy Grail" of golf move or Mike Hebron teachings....

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Good point. Same direction spot

Sadly there must be more too it than this. Much more.

[@jeffmiller1387]

Does lag just naturally happen?

[@edwinchan6521]

Yes on the way down, the lag angle is built/completed at the top of the swing and the wrists are relaxed down and through the ball

[@Joe-qf9nv]

Only good lag happens naturally :) often people get in more trouble working on lag

[@MrBrokentowels]

This guy is amazing. I boxed growing up and the best punches were thrown with loose but active arms. This makes so much sense to me, I can actually get into a way better impact position.

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

I'm going to try to make that device with a small boat float and an old grip.

[@swampThaang]

7:12 More on this please. What adjustments need to be made to move the but of the club more forward at impact without ruining the timing of the momentum. Is it more hip rotation?

[@MD-kv2gc]

What I understand is... Do not try to move the butt of club forward, that's what Dan is saying and many other teachers - the handle forward is a consequence of other aspects of swing, in particular heavy relaxed shoulders, and good grip (firm) but with loose relaxed wrists. Don't try to do it, it will happen if you do the sequence and momentum transfer smoothly.

[@AR-ke8wg]

Hey, great video, maybe tell Dan another good analogy for transfer momentum is like a figure skater when they spin really fast in place but skaters do in the opposite direction, arms to core. They swing arms and then put arms in close and they spin faster. Transfer momentum in golf is from body out... like flinging your arms with your core/body. Rotate core from the ground, that flings ur arm, goes in the club and you align it to strike the ball.

[@danmartingolf]

Spot on!

[@mplunky1]

AR & Dan does this mean your downswing begins & is powered by the body turning from the ground up motion & that the actual speed of this motion will speed the arm & club movement?. How do I square the clubface without hand action of some sort? Thanks for your understanding of this swing momentum that I am trying to 'find' but I am just not quite there yet.

[@sluggworth2154]

I was just thinking to myself "it's like a nunchuck" and then i see this.. cray

[@jaredvotaw8610]

Let’s see how it translates into lag tension or “tow”

[@jameslovering9158]

What's the feeling, is it a throw with the torso starting the action? Keeping it wide at the top to give lots of room to throw?

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

No. The sit at the same time as the slight arrrow out of the quiver gets it started to straighten and the the rotation keeps it straight. Coupling with your yards ruins it

[@kevinbrown6066]

👀 When you see my swing you may have to rethink 😂

[@9to5golfhughmanning88]

really cool series with Dan

[@ericschroeder8932]

Two more things. 1. At 12:30, when you have the ah-ha moment, "Oh that felt great", after you pured the iron shot, I loved it. 2. From 16:30 to 18:50, when Dan is distilling down this concept it's essentially the follow on to a Pete Cowen video I saw on here. Cowen's thesis is "the club , as a result of gravity, wants to return to the address position, and our job is to Manage the Mass so the club is useful". Dan really brings it home. Getting up at 5:30am tomorrow to hit balls at Oak Creek, then 18 holes at Dove Canyon. Thanks, Brendon!
