The LAST Lesson You Will Ever Need to UNLOCK Compression | The Moment it Finally Clicked

[@xledifx8752]

I think obviously most of the lesson are specified for you problems on your swing, however, this lesson was so cool because it's for every level! For a high handicap like me I completely love this one. Thanks and keep the grind 🙌

[@JamesYangGolf]

Dana is the man. I appreciate how he analyzes the cause and effect then simplifies into actionable steps. Your swing has gotten so much better since the beginning of your journey, it's very impressive. Best of luck Jerome.

[@JeromeRufin]

Yeah Dana is awesome. And thanks!

[@vanostek]

This is the most detailed and useable golf lesson I've ever seen. The chemistry between you two is excellent. The coach is never condescending and always makes complicated things make sense.

[@iliketonoobit791]

This is great. I'm a victim of YT golf info overload and overthinking positions, wrist angles, shallow vs steep, etc. It always ends up worse!

[@twiner4]

This is by far, 1 of the best videos on the simplicity of a golf swing! Thank you for sharing.

[@JeromeRufin]

It was unreal! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@jameschouinard5648]

These lessons are some of the best online lessons, at least for my game, that I’ve ever come across. 💯

[@Tui1Hit]

These lessons with Dana have helped me more than any lessons I've studied before. I'm a high single digit handicap struggling to be consistent with my woods, long and mid irons. But I have seen significant improvement since after your first video with Dana. I'm very appreciative of these lessons.

[@SimplyTheGeoff1979]

Great coach you have there. If you see this comment I’d recommend you hold your finish for a second or two longer and watch the ball land, especially when you hit it ok or well. You won’t see any good players recoil quickly after the finish already thinking about the next shot. Stand there and soak in the decent shots briefly. It’ll help train your nervous system to know it is free to actually go left on the way down because it knows you stand left at the finish all the time anyway. It’ll also help the feedback while you’re learning go into your mind more deeply as you watch the results fly and land rather than racing to the next shot. The only other thing I’d say is that almost everyone will tell you being analytical is bad. It’s not bad, it’s an advantage as long as you are in control of it and can discern when the right time to turn analysis on or off is. Best of luck and great channel. 👍

[@bamnjlaw92]

What a process. Dana took everything that you learned from him and others and gave you the Pro Move. Now picture your course hole laid over this practice range. If they go on this draw path, on most holes, they'll be in the trees or cart path, but that's what he wants you to do unless you turn your body to compensate for the draw path. That way you don't think its a pull/push/hook/slice. One swing. One direction-Just like the band!

[@shakebake3124]

Literally, no one talks about drive the back foot. It’s always about extending the front leg. This is an amazing lightbulb. ❤

[@danlong6162]

Slightly after midway in this video is golf gold! Dana explains what tour players are doing! Hallelujah! Finally, i found it! Thank you Dana and Jerome!

[@tmunday7270001475143]

So good! Double D has become my favorite golf coach on the net!

[@GolfRaffi]

getting lessons like this from Dana must feel like winning the lottery. I am so happy for you. That is something I could only dream of

[@randymahony8157]

This was the best lesson I've ever seen. Thanks.

[@MDeezyTV]

You def think too much about what you’re doing wrong and try to dive too deep into that rather than keeping things as simple as possible and focus on just the feelings when you hit a good one and trying to replicate that feeling. Your go from hitting one great then you hit one not so good and you try to dissect exactly what you did wrong instead of moving on and forgetting it. Dana is a great coach and I can tell he’s picking up on that and gives great advice and tries to break things down simply

[@XingCollectables]

some people need to break down what went wrong to get better though. Not every brain works the same. So, him trying to decipher what went wrong isn't that big of a deal, but he does need to focus on feeling a bit more and overthink later when watching the videos and pick that apart instead.

[@brianschultz7320]

At 48:00 - I feel like one reason u don’t get much lag is because your arms/wrists seem very tense. If you grip the club a bit more looser and let your body relax you will generate lag without trying to. Im also biased towards a slightly more cupped wrist like in Adam Scott/Rorys swing. When your wrist gets too bowed you can’t release the club and it forces you to hold angles and rotate really hard. I’m not sure if you’ve ever played tennis but it’s the same concept. Your arms and wrists need to be really loose to generate lag and effortless power.

[@socrplayr21792]

I love how technical you are and even your coach who is known to be highly technical is working to get you feeling more with the medicine ball drill. Please check out Marcus from GRF Golf. The lag load drills you did are what he specializes in.

[@vesiwiw6]

Jerome - you are developing a truly beautiful golf swing by doing what Dana Dahlquist tells you. I sometimes turn the youtube sound volume off so I don't have to hear all Jerome's over-thinking comments and analysis. 🤔 - Keep up the good progress Jerome. 👍 I'll keep watching just without sound. 🤫

[@MrSoylander]

Great content. Your swing has come ao far. You would also benefit from adding the old school instruction of "hold your finish" for more than one second, so you can truly feel and see if your body and arms match up. 😉

[@kentbrown3736]

This coach is amazing. Wow. Rufin is like a pizza soaked in chocolate shake. When he loses the shake and matures he will become watchable. Presently he makes me chuck. The tuition is awesome. Great video concept Rufin.

[@shakebake3124]

By far the best lesson on the net. Can’t believe how this has helped me get forward from the back foot. Can’t wait for more. ❤❤❤

[@michaelellis1263]

pure gold what you get to see and learn. just watching these have changed my swing completely

[@karlsemkow7456]

Out of all the golf videos out there, yours with Dana are by far the best!

[@nickcaliboi9475]

This is the bible of golf vids. amazing job. im going to try these things. there's golf coaches that could never explain a reason why a mistake was wrong or how to fully correct it. it was just do it this way and that's it. this really made my day. i subscribed and liked easily.

[@grantleslie4298]

Brilliant video. Would be awesome to get a lesson from David. A great guy who knows his stuff and comes across so patient 👍

[@nevilleconnery]

Loved this series with Dana, really great stuff. I particularly like Dana in this mode, he could be extremely complicated years ago.

[@R4nDoMZzl]

This lesson just helped me “disconnect” my swing into 3 moves and lose all tension in my arms. Amazing stuff, thankyou for sharing

[@McVilla1N]

Literally everything i have been working on currently. Extremely good video. Extremely good instructor. Would love to work with him!

[@thewarden549]

I personally love Adam Porzak of Porzak Golf. His way of explaining things has had many a lightbulb moments for me.

[@robpeterson1118]

Watched th is a few times now. Selfishly for my own game, and really enjoy you saying that this is the best lesson you've ever had at the end, laughing excitedly. Took a second to let that comment ruminate just now and yes, you are improving as a golfer, recieving feed back, applying said feedback, still being all up in your head, but Dana is using that 2x4 just enough to knock you back out of your head and into practical application ... you're just getting better!! Cheers mate! Keep putting the hard work in..... even if it feels effortless sometimes!

[@adriansuarez24]

Jerome, your swing is looking absolutely gorgeous. Your journey and progress have been impressive. Thanks for sharing all the great content!

[@temzac1135]

That was excellent and going to incorporate into my game this week! Thanks Jerome for this series!

[@DirtyDandino]

I love Dana's simple take on the golf swing and allow the body to adjust accordingly. Refreshing to see that he doesn't care what the swing looks as much as if your body matches up kinematically in the sequence.

[@Georgette-n3z]

Dana seems like a really relatable dude!

[@toneabet6252]

I had a similar lesson to this once. My instructor was telling me all the same feels. After that lesson my game improved drastically

[@Bluntobject]

I really wish I could like this video more. Really defines what I'm going through right now with my swing.

[@williamlatham9796]

I struggle with the same challenges so this is really helpful for me

[@maximus9380]

Another amazing lesson from Dana! Some great nuggets in that one, specifically the role of the hips opening so you don’t hook it left

[@timbrown2422]

This is such great content. It is the best instruction going. Dana is a fantastic teacher. Personally, my swing has never felt more intuitive. Thanks!

[@JeromeRufin]

We are just getting started. Lets gooo

[@Numbers24-4]

Best coach ever, I want you to hook it into the left fence. Proceeds to hit shots right down the middle. "That's telling isn't it. " 😅

[@SwimmingBird846]

Jerome, thanks for making this video. I started swinging this way naturally after reading Ben Hogan, and it ruined my golf swing in a way. I would come through like Dana describes with the hands "stuck behind", and the face was always wide open. I've hit thousands of balls, and never missed a single one left. I would pour through my own recordings, and KZbin instructional videos trying find out out what piece I was missing, but it's hard to find information tailored to a problem like this. It looks like it might be Dana's delofting move with the left wrist. I'm going to have to work on that one. Cheers.

[@JeromeRufin]

Love to hear your journey as well! Hope it works :) Let me know!

[@zjztom]

That’s absolutely awesome. I was having same confusion about over rotating my forearm and the video explains perfectly how body rotation will counter balance it. Thanks for the sharing and can’t wait you share more🎉

[@davidedwards1405]

Jerome I LOVE how you were hitting it straight at at target the harder you tried to hit a low hook, what did that tell you?

[@keithyeo4862]

Has been with your channel since the beginning. Seeing the transformation of your golf swing is amazing. Great swing Jerome.

[@JeromeRufin]

You the man!

[@laogx4026]

Bro, Dana giving so much gold.. its insane.. awesome awesome sauce!!

[@NickOnPar]

Let’s gooooooooooo! Another banger bro. Don’t let these haters get to your head

[@JeromeRufin]

LETS GOOOOOO haha

[@zach.n4]

The swing and interaction at 23:50 is me and my instructor lol. Everything being taught here has been the same stuff as my first lessons as a beginner. Just wish I didn’t spend 3 months on YT trying random stuff before finally starting lessons a month ago

[@Omnis2]

You have a much better connection with Dana than any of your other coaches.

[@KHuff899]

The other coaches weren’t able to shut down Jerome’s high rpm over analysis. Dana can defuse it with a quick bit of sarcasm. I think it has allowed Jerome to absorb more of the teaching.

[@georgegao1408]

great content, what was that swing trainer used?

[@ivwshane]

So Jerome, would you say that for this lesson Dana was trying to get your swing to feel more natural with more natural whipping of your arms (which I imagine feels like lag)? To me it reminds me of when we were kids and you let your arms be loose and you would rotate your body back in forth and just let your arms swing by themselves. So as you stop rotating your arms then whip to the direction you were rotating to and your upper body now goes in the opposite direction. I hope that makes sense. For my own golf journey I’m now at the point where I try to have as few swing thoughts as possible and I’m now just trying to let my body do its thing naturally. However I’m certainly not as fluid and loose as you appeared to be when using the speed trainer.

[@markrandall6973]

At 4:03 minutes, Dana's talking about throwing the club back etc., and he refers to a previous lesson where you looked at Adam Scott, McIlroy et al., - is that lesson online, and if so, which one is it? Thanks.

[@UchihaSignori]

I can't get my head around starting to shift weight and rotate before the back swing ends. Any tips?

[@XiaoLongBao-pr7ve]

Awesome video! Does the left arm get pinned against the left chest all the way through impact?

[@patrickberhow8578]

Nice work man I use these to get there myself just shot an 86 last weekend just watching your stuff I've been playing for a year now!

[@JeromeRufin]

86 is awesome. I can feel 79 the next time you play!

[@patrickberhow8578]

Haha I hope so gotta get this next feel you got now in I'm not hitting it far enough now one step back to go two forward kind of thing

[@teddywilliams2512]

i'm a chronic scooper and picker of the ball. Can you please just share simply what helps get rid of the scooping motion? I can do practice swings where I have seemingly amazing shaft lean and what would be a compressed strike, but put a ball there and it's scoop city

[@andrewrudzinski5653]

What size weight medicine ball do you recommend for the turn exercise? Where to purchase? Love all your lessons with Dana.

[@usmanhaleem3964]

So many light bulb moments! Not only my golf game has improved, my life is better as well. Priceless lesson !!

[@cmccwoltz]

Thank you so much for the videos, can you tell me what the swing training equipment you are using? lol the long black stick with the ball on the end!

[@baseballehs3]

Don’t listen to the fools in the comments, getting lessons from Dana and working on your game is the best thing you could’ve done for long term improvement . Social media/KZbin golf is full of delusional misinformed individuals who think they’re some type of experts because they’ve read an article or watched a video clip but a lot of them are just envious commenting snide remarks because they’re just miserable people. You’re providing access to top instruction for free through your series yet there are numerous complaints, don’t try to pander to negativity on here just continue to do what is best for you.

[@TylerBaker-ky7rp]

Someone’s emotional

[@ChrisSavage94]

Rome, what's your lesson to golf rounds played ratio?

[@mannyfan165]

This video completely changed my swing for the better I’m honestly shocked at the compression

[@tp0376]

The feeling of hitting low hooks is perfect

[@paulvargas5928]

44:51 that is exactly what you want to do. You take out the right side of the course by swinging left delofting it while dialing in right hip turn speed “ripping it open” and boom magic happens

[@paulvargas5928]

Btw what an awesome coach Dana is for dealing with over thinkers trying to manufacture positions. Golf is already hard to match every semantic in a golf swing. He keeps it simple

[@paulvargas5928]

Again if you keep failing you really need to get over that fear of smoking it to left. Then work it from there you will understand how much your hips need to turn. And also mentally don’t worry about getting impact club angle correct. It’s a follow throw that will get you great contact

[@nicknikon]

I watched all the vids, went from a more slice pattern, to a hook pattern. But I can't figure out how to get out of hooking it

[@jacobr4558]

Okay this all looks good but what is your handicap right now? What is your swing speed?

[@themalaygolfer]

Damn I love this coach!!!!!

[@TheSuburbanGardener]

This helped me alot! I have before/ after swing vids. Is there somewhere I can post to receive feedback?

[@stephanetzicuris3376]

hello bro, when i try what you do at 25:40 i have speed but i slice obviously cause the club is behind but make a great wip. what solution need to be done? thx

[@ericwilliams1595]

What is the drill referenced at 5:33?

[@neckupfitness3274]

Great video, but also shows how you can go down so many rabbit holes and end up micro managing the swing. A lot of "one thing I feel/notice"......that's all good but just feel good swinging! Lol!

[@dustinhensley7995]

What is he using on his iPad to analyze your swing?

[@richardfahrney7139]

Congratulations to Collin Morikawa going back to his long time coach Rick Sessinghaus. In golf and life we sometimes think change will make things better but not always the case.

[@samuelchoisamchoi714]

phenomenal!

[@feisum]

This reconciles back your first lesson with Mike. If the ball goes left (hook), it’s not becoz u r turning too much, it’s becoz ur hips are not open enuf.

[@DoubleBogeyBaker]

How much have you spent on golf lessons in this first year? Do any of the golf pros give you any discounts or anything?

[@gregorybolin4672]

Nicholas said as long as ur on ur left side u can throw the club from the top as much as u want.

[@stefan-t--]

this is one of the best instructors on the planet, what a fucking coach.

[@DerekWatson29]

I need a feel or drill for using my back foot/leg to drive that hip through, I can't figure it out.

[@ryanshafer10]

This was the one thing he doesn't say I picked up from another video. When you push up and forward in the backswing on your right leg your right hip is fully back and your weight moves forward. Your front leg will take the weight and then your DRIVE YOUR LEFT HIP BACK to bring the right hip through. The harder you push up and back you will create more room for you to come through from the inside. The ONLY thing you do with your arms is supinate the wrist (glove logo down and away from you) to control the club face. Once you have loaded everything in the backswing all the power comes from how hard you can push up and back with your left leg/hip. Exactly why Scottie does the jump back and Bryson talks about the only thing you have to generate power is the ground and he has thighs like tree trucks and a huge dumptruck

[@terryfonz4603]

Lee Trevino says less tilt and more rotation for power!

[@pleroma5924]

I would love to get dana’s thoughts on that video tiger did years where he talks about the club stuck behind him a move that he termed “O’Lay”. Because what Dana is teaching is to me the O’Lay. And in watching this video O’LAY IS IN FACT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN YOUR SWING🤷‍♂️🤷🤷‍♂️🤷

[@pleroma5924]

Ok I just watched that video with him and Butch and the difference is TIGER WOULD FLIP THE FACE SHUT. DANA IS NOT TEACHING FLIP THE FACE AT ALL

[@dmpt39]

In this lesson he has you clearing your chest and hips and club following but in more recent lesson he emphasizes that rotating the chest is wrong and has you hitting the ball while not intentionally rotating the chest as a the arms are lowered. Please explain the discrepancy.

[@DubheJames]

Spinning the arms down is the key

[@sikinilabastilla9803]

Stick your finish, Jerome!

[@grumpyoldgit8254]

This coach is the dogs danglies, top lad

[@golfish8589]

It sounded like you eanted him in a position where the club would be considered stuck behind him by all other instructors . Then later you said about not worring about positions and mentioned the right elbow. Isnt that the most critical position because itbis the last one before impact?

[@debulee]

These are great videos and I've watched them multiple times, but the outline that pops up on transition is quite annoying... :)

[@KeithGolfs]

I feel like your focus is now on the golf tech that youre developing. Any plans to create a new channel to document that journey?

[@zacharystokes]

“How do I overthink this without telling you im overthinking it?” Dude, just let it flow

[@louieau5898]

Dana is so patient with him.

[@arnoldvongvirath1088]

To me when I giving golf lesson I tens to make it fit for that person for comfortable, balance and than teach how to generating speeds within controls

[@stephenmentze1579]

It’s hard doing this move without hitting super hard at the ball

[@brettskinner5895]

That swing of yours is looking money. With a swing like that you should be in the 70s all the time. Just need to work on your self confidence because you have all the shots now.

[@TylerBaker-ky7rp]

Still has to pitch, chip and putt

[@BadB33]

When you jump into performance, look for the Master Jedi Monk Philosopher known as Carl Rabito… This is the way.

[@ocat1979]

Dana should just quit coaching and leave it to the armchair critics in these comments. You people couldn’t coach a ball to roll

[@boberuskieee]

just hit the ball! lol

[@Callofthegame247]

For a start, the shaft needs to be forward at setup, therefore dropping the trail side of the body. At impact, you simply should increase shaft lean a bit. The hands at transition work straight down toward the trail foot, creating a lateral hip motion to start the swing. You can't push off the trail foot, as that would get your hips out in front, and you're forced to get the hands in front to make up the deficit. You push down into the trail foot, not off of it. But it all starts with setting up with the shaft forward to start.

[@jimbojohnson7360]

Skim the stone MAROOCHIIIII

[@mikewhite255]

I dont like to think about lag, i just think about where my hands need to be at impact. Everyone is different, everyones swing should be different as well. Thats what makes these videos so tough, there is a ton of excellent information in this video but doing what another guy does will never make you better unless you are brand , brand new to golf ⛳. Otherwise you are probably wasting your time and walking your natural swing farther away from its true form.

[@bobbybreeze]

Every shot Dana likes, Jerome always sounds disappointed lol

[@auriferous4462]

Tiger never thought about what the body does, he just makes sure the hands moves the club to the ball then release, the body facilitates this, it would look like he tries to use his body. Because of this illusion of intention, instruction is now body-focused. Dana talks about this when he talks about some player's feels when they feel only the arms moving first (but it doesn't happen). Try the Pete Cowen stuff, it's the secret, it's all in the arms/hands. I hit the ball almost pga tour average distance, tiny draw, with traditional blades and I feel I only use the arms.

[@naj959]

Why would he listen to this when he's working with one of the best coaches in the world?

[@auriferous4462]

​@@naj959Because he's not a good coach for a beginner, in my opinion. Entirely internally focused with lots of jargon. He has created a swing now where the hips spin out (because he thinks he needs to actively weight shift) and arms and club are trailing causing horrible club face control.

[@naj959]

@@auriferous4462 the fact that you put "I hit the ball pga tour averages with a tiny draw using traditional blades says it all". Gotta love those qualifications. Will you be playing at Valhalla this week? Should I put some money on you to win? I'd love to see how fast you got Jerome to a plus handicap. Probably only a matter of days in your hands.

[@naj959]

@@auriferous4462 if you can't see how much Dana is trying to dumb down the information, I don't know what to tell you. 3 basic feels. If contact isn't there nothing else matters. Jerome's biggest obstacle is he wants to over analyze everything. Just how he's wired. But he seems to be getting better.. Instructor can only lead a horse to water.

[@DubheJames]

He is saying exactly what Pete Cowan says. Spinning the arms down. Deloft and that works if you can clear your hips and rotate quick enough which he can do. When he was trying to get him to hit it left it's the same as what cowen says. All these people saying he is stuck. He is not stuck at all, the deloft and pressure down makes your brain want to clear otherwise your brain tells you body it's going to hit itself.

[@jeremydomin7671]

Love this video. Your ability to narrate the video is phenomenal. Your ability to communicate with the instructor is still a struggle. Get rid of the word “like” in your vocabulary to communicate better. You’re smashing these irons now. So much better than that when you first started with that instructor that somehow tries to teach on hitting mats, how’s that even possible? That guy was horrible.

[@inquistive]

Dana Dahlquist is great but he must be close to the world record of saying "like" completely unnecessarily!
