Many people talk about the Hogan swing, but you not only explain it, but you put on one hell of a demonstration that i can understand and i can easily follow the drills. It has become so simple for me to get in all of the positions and strike the ball without any great effort. Thanks!

Really liked your demonstration and mental picture of having the arms in front of the torso in the backswing and not moving the right arm back too much. Same thought as restricting the lead arm abduction, I think. Believe this swing thought will help me a lot. Thanks, Dan. Watching golf on TV now, and the pros are all doing what you demonstrate.

Literally the best golf video ever. Simple drills to follow explained easy . Cheers mate

After watching thousands of videos from all you guys i think that i found the key for a good swing with your explanation. Feels awsome! Thanks Dan!

Probably one of the best videos to get consistency back . If you followed what Dan said practice with a 9 iron / wedge and the shots will be very straight as you get use to not manipulating through impact - distance and trust will come with regular practice. It took me about 3 weeks ( 5 range sessions and 3 rounds to easily match my handicap-9) The wedge improvement stunned me the most .....birdie opportunities were 3 x more frequent.

Cracking video. For me, this explains why when I shorten my backswing when my round is falling apart, things work again. Taken a look at my swing and I do wrap my arms too far around. This vid has helped understand what is going on and makes the swing feels much easier to return to impact. Thanks mate.

This is personally the best concept video to help my game. I still fall back into old habits, but when you take a step back and apply this technique, it helps immensely. Thank you for the clear intuitive explanation.

Dan....arms away from the chest is a miracle for me....ht 12 of 14 fairways today...no OB or penalties from the driver....I am a happy camper..Monarch Beach, Ca.

I totally agree Dan........used to be a single digit......broke my neck and lower back and now I'm all fused-screwed-wired together.........I had a hell of a time finding a swing that would work for me now.......but 3/4 swing and arms in front-----low-long-slow takeaway with arms in front saved me.......lost distance but I'm right in the middle with solid contact.......I use your video to remind me to stay within myself......your video is my last thought before I swing......lol......weird but it works......thanks !!!

BTW.......I could easily be a single hndp again if I could play more......however my back will not allow it......but I'm still playing and the low 80's with an occasional 70's works just fine.....cheers !!

This is a terrific idea to put into any golfer's head. I consider myself a pretty decent ball-striker but I struggle with dispersion because (I now realize thanks to your video) that my right arm overtakes my swing at times (winds up too far in the backswing and then pushes out on the downswing). The visual of the right elbow moving just a small amount is great for me. I can't wait to get out on the range and drill this feel into place.

There are moments in golf that changes you like getting fitted correctly and then there is this drill........ it addresses so many faults of mine from chunks to thin from heel to toe shots over the top and trapped inside. A light bulb went bang I went out side did this drill could see the and feel the difference immediately. Taking it to the range tomorrow arvo to hit 9 iron and wedge as suggested get used to the new feeling at the top. Dan you absolute genius.

Another great video Dan. Its interesting to see how little the Right arm moves in the Back swing relative to the Left arm. All it does fold internally. Keep it coming Dan

i really love this video Dan. I found your other videos a little confusing but this is so simple and the way you explain it is spot on and very comprehensive and concise. i have been struggling with this for years, i didn't know how to apply it and now i know. thank you so much

Well done Dan, a coach without a big Ego, or is as tough as old boots, is enthusiastic & not bored, and keeps it simple for dunderheids.

Dan, went to the range to put this into practice. I can't thank you enough for this (and all the other) instruction...it really has helped change my swing and shallow out my club. It has helped my consistency, ball striking and accuracy. Wow...thanks again!👍

Dan understand this one. Have watched all your videos and currently working really hard. 5 hours practice per day. One day it will happen for me.

since watching this video I tried this method on the course an shot 2 under haha and im a 9 handicap loving life cheers for this video

Hands infront of body is the final missing piece to my backswing. Dont mind me though I said the same thing about 7 other flaws. But really this is it now!

Great information Dan. Would love to see a on course lesson with you and a student.

Thanks Dan

Dan your channel is the best.

Great stuff dan

Great videos Dan. Your lesson with Rick Shiels really helped me with a feeling that has improved my consistency and the quality of my ball striking. That feeling of limiting my right elbow movement has put my club in a much better position at the top and I don't re-route the club to get it back to the ball. Flight is better and straighter and I am starting to hit the centre of the club face much more often. Thank you!

Thank you! finally I understood this subject. A camera view from above your head would be helpful, i think

Great channel Dan very technical but explained and shown excellently!

so good Dan. cheers

Thanks for the explanation, Dan. My own previous videos show me doing exactly what you demonstrate at 3:28 -- i.e., standing straight up as the club comes DOWN. It looks weird, and I never had any idea why I was doing this. I will definitely work on keeping the arms and club in front of me.

This is very well explained. Thanks Dan

Have to say an is the best golf pro on tube Been watching a lot of his videos Now I have a better idea of what I have been doing wrong Now I am striking the ball so much betterCheers dan

After watching all of your videos I want to make a trip over the pond for a lesson session. Great video as usual.

Dan Whittaker what would be your advice on getting lessons if I am in the middle of my own swing transformation? Wait until I'm comfortable with my new swing or stop changing and get lessons? Thanks

Hi François, Thanks for the feedback ! I ´ll go and practice...

Great help to understand body attitude during the swing.Tks a lot! RL

Great video Dan. I would love to see a video with a detailed explanation of how you teach the pivot move. Maintain tush line, fight early extension, etc..

Great info! I was confused but now understood after your insightful explanation.

Hey Dan, another great video. I would love to see a segment of Adam Scott or one of your successful students in this video. You could then comment and point out exactly the movements you're describing. Thanks for sharing your valuable swing insights!

I had lesson and have been trying to get more depth by getting a fuller turn. I think this may be the video that I needed to make sure my arms are synced up while trying to do this.

very good instructions indeed, keep up the good work Dan

thanks Dan really enjoying the videos after finding you through Rick's channel

Another great vid,,,, not long till my lesson with you dan,,,,, can't wait ⛳️🏌

Fantastic video Dan 😎

Great video Dan.I liked your video on the right elbow also. Keep them coming ,Thanks

Great video Dan!

Beautiful explanation - thank you!

i like this....very important concept.....well explained Dan

great tips. Thx Dan

Like this video. My left arm separates from my chest on the back swing and the club head is way inside my hands. Have to try this. Thanks!

Very well explained. Thank you.

Liked your channel, your videos are different and useful

Great videos Dan...looking forward to more stuff from you.

Great vid again Dan, like Ripyerballs my takeaway is too far inside resulting in over the top, so pulling or slicing, or I take away too high and dip the left shoulder. Am trying the small ball thing right now! I look forward to all your vids and convinced I will get there eventually! Cheers.

Great explanation! very clear! keep up the good work!

Really enjoying your videos and implementing a couple of the changes you cover in your videos has really helped my game. Would be interested in a video at impact - do you hit with your hands at impact?

Could you expand on how to start from the ground up please

Hi Dan!! I'd really like to see your analysis of the swing of the rising star Bryson deChambeau. Also perhaps some analysis of the swing of the legendary Moe Norman, from whom deChambeau has developed some of his swing concepts. The "Moe Norman" type (single plane/path?) swing seems to be a LOT friendlier for 'senior" or older type golfers...like myself!! LOL Thanks!! Chip

great vid dan . could you possibly do a vid on why the right arm would chicken wing in the back swing. for r/h golfer. cheers dan

Dan great video! Any chance of doing a video about how to stay connected? Can't find any video on KZread that targets arms becoming disconnected and lifting independently of the body rotation. I can't change it regardless of how much I try!

Hi Dan, best explanation I've seen on shallowing in downswing. Question: every time I do this swing thought about getting hands away from me and butt pointing forward but it feels like I'm too far away from the ball. If I stand closer I start to hit it fat and get no compression. Any ideas? Have you heard this before?

Great instruction, when should I start to release the club on the downswing, in-between club parallel and the ball? Or just after club parallel?

My biggest problem, Dan! I'm tall with very long arms, (6'9", 38 1/2 " arms) and my right elbow always gets behind me, flies, and I get "stuck" in the downswing. Any other videos you recommend? Love your teaching! Thanks! Greg Hill

Great explanation... I still struggle transferring the moves I understand and "feel well" at slow speed into a full speed swing. Any tips on how to achieve that (other than or in addition to hours of practice)?

i had a lesson last week. and was told to bring the club back with my right hip. and by doing that i had this swing. i never let the club get behind me and i was hitting every shot pure. everything just sequenced itself without any manipulation. but it was a swing that disappeared as soon as i got to the course. how do we practice this. could you cover more about the takeaway

Great video Dan with great content, Just a quick question what moves away first in the backswing to keep the arms in front? I always tend to suck the club to far to the inside. Keep up the great work cheers.

Great explanation of a good backswing, thank you

Tiger's peak iron ballstriking years with Haney in the mid-late 2000s are an ideal example of this. Arguably the best iron striking years in history with such a "simple" looking move.

Such a huge struggle, I have a crazy across the line swing, it's the only way I can shallow it...if I try to swing "normal"...I'm wayyyyyyyy too shallow its weird... the swing dan teaches is so compact compared to mine I feel like I am barely moving

Do you consciously think about reconnecting your right elbow to your torso after you transition to the downswing ?

I think Henrik stenson is best model for hands in front of body

Dan, please please please do a video to stop hooking the ball with driver. Hopefully with someone that hooks and you using the avatar equipment. Thanks in advance, Charlie. Ps i have tried everything i can find. Would love a lesson one day.

I really like your videos and explanations Dan so can you tell me please, when you reach the top it looks like your hands are opposite your right shoulder not your chest/right pectoral, am I seeing things correctly or is the camera angle fooling my eyes?

Great Drill Dan,would this be used also with longer irons 3 wood and driver?

Dan can you answer a question I'm a bit confused over. you say adam Scott is the best at making this move, when I watch video of him at impact his hips are very much rotated but his shoulders are still pretty much on Tamerton line, but you say and demonstrate the body moving as one with no separation between hips and shoulders. could you clarify this please. great channel btw

Hi Dan So withheld arms infront, where do the wip come in, or arms falling. Or is it because there isn't one:-)as the arms Falling/ hands are actually in position? Thanks Jim

Is this kind of what butch Harmon means by short and wide Dan?

What is a good drill for getting the right shoulder low at impact? I am working on really turning through the ball and am improving slowly but my right shoulder has a tendency to retract and become level with my right shoulder instead of going towards the ball at impact

@EMD_Ski

You're no doubt looking for Dan to respond but I'll share my experience with the same issue fwiw, because having a pro help me with that truly changed my game after decades of struggling! I'd tried everything, and then worked with a great pro (Monte Scheinblum, another great pro with stuff on KZread) who physically put me in the right position and a light bulb went off. (Funny how rarely golf pros are willing to actually do that.) Then it was a matter of taking a LOT of like 3/4 swings and focusing on firing that right shoulder down and OUT to the ball and on through to the target. I'd do like three pump drills, then hold it at like P5 and fire through. The real challenge was that I hit everything fat and/or high amd right when I started doing it. If I hadn't been working with a pro who told me to trust it, I would have thought I was doing something wrong and moved on. But he explained I had to relearn where the ball was in my swing. And that's kind of where the magic happened, as I learned how to make that swing work without, I naturally changed my angle of attack without even thinking about it. You instinctively start to let the shaft flatten out while that shoulder moves forward and down because it has to, contact amd consistency improved a ton, and my scores improved immediately. Oh yeah, almost forgot the most important part. I wasn't setting up with any secondary tilt at address which created problems with everything that happened from that point because all my intentions were wrong. getting that slight tilt away from the target is what set the whole thing up for me. It's really hard to explain, but once he put me in those positions, it was like my whole understanding of what I was trying to do changed, and I realized I'd been chasing positions and feels with the wrong fundamental understanding of what I wanted to do. I'd played for decades at about a 15+ HCP and over the course of one summer have gotten and stayed sub 10!👍

hi Dan, thanks a lot. Just a question : I have the problem to early extend a lot...and the club is staying way behind. The fact that the arms are matching the body is helping this fault ? thanks for your great videos !

@francoisdesmoulins-lebeaul4273

Had the same problem as you, with my woods/driver... hips firing too fast, body extending too early, arms lagging behind.... big push-slice as the result (or plenty of manipulation to avoid that, leading sometimes to pull hooks). I've been practising moves similar to what Dan explains here and they have calmed massively my problem (by syncing arms and body you make sure that the club moves with you and therefore path problems are very reduced: it becomes more "linear", and face opening problems vanish: it syncs to your body too!)

Thanks Dan, I was trying this last night at the range with great results but I occasionally pull it straight left, what am I doing wrong?

When making these changes to have your hands more infront is it normal to see students have the club in a more laid off position and is this okay

if you have shorter arms, easier said then done. Tommy Fleetwood is arguably one of the best ballstrikers at the moment and has his hands get nice high and right elbow not in front. i dunno maybe looks are deceiving
