I like Dana’s direction to hold your finish, and I like it for this reason… You have a habit of analyzing every swing the moment you make it. You almost look dejected after each one, in fact, immediately doing a rehearsal of what you think you should have done instead. This is a marathon of small steps and you should expect lots of bad shots and swings. It’s a process. Break the habit of analyzing each swing. Just hold the finish and watch the ball land. Forgive yourself if it’s not the majestic shot you were hoping for and know that it continues to improve with every one, as it has been.

misses shot and instantly does the shallowing exageration with his arms every time :p

This dude finds the perfect fix for his swing like every week! Incredible!

Jerome. Quit worrying about the ball direction and what you might have done wrong. Groove the right feel in the lesson and the rest will come. Golf is a game of miss hits. The player who misses the least wins! Let your coach tell you what you are doing wrong then work his fixes. He is the one who diagnoses you. Concentrate on the good feels and his positive reinforcement of them. Otherwise your every swing thought is negative and diagnosis based rather then enforcing your good feels! No more analysis paralysis! Thanks for helping us all by the way!

Great improvement in listening and following - less worrying about random rabbit hole feelings and giggling about bad shots.

Best golf coaching instructional video on KZread. He is an amazing teacher. He sees each movement and corrects

"Don't overthink it". I've heard this so many times over this series, and this is also my problem. I look forward to this series every week. It's the best practical IRL instructional series on social media. It's real. Seen so many guys jump from coach to coach doing quick fixes on a weekly basis. Please keep this going. Don't feel dejected. Stick with the program. Good things will come.

Your lesson series is easily the best on KZread. Your swing is good enough now to play to scratch. Keep grinding. The geese walking in front of you while hitting those chippy drivers was like real life Nintendo duck hunt with golf balls.

Again, you are blessed to have personal lessons with Dana. I appreciate these videos so much. Cannot wait to practice and see what you have planned in the future for us watchers

Nice...you continue to make progress. These lessons are great. Keep plugging man, I predict a score in the 70s this year.

Very interesting show. A suggestion for a future episode: a look at the steps in the evolution of your swing and the evolution of Dana’s coaching in response to each development. Seems as if watchers (often) grab on to one thing (one “fix”) and focus on it - versus the entire process in which Dana guides you through a longer development of skills. Would be great at some point to see this evolution from each of your points of view. It’s his thinking and the ways he focuses on how to learn that I, myself, enjoy the most.

Great series. I think people are under the assumption that these lessons are for them and will work for the masses... Dana makes it quite clear in all his vids that when he tells a student to do something, its specific for that student. Dana also teaches different patterns (swings), all these comments about too much side bend ect. Its not too much side bend for Jerome, he's young, flexible, and an athlete. People need to chill and enjoy the free content, extract what might apply to you, and be thankful we have access to a top coach (my fav).

Also this lesson was eye opening for me - especially Dana's tip on the jump move with the driver and his list of top 5 snacks to eat on the course

Impressed with Dana's teaching as a whole wish I wasn't based in Florida

i love how the goose just walked in front of you like he had 0 f*cks to give as if he was taunting you saying "dont worry, i know your not familiar with getting birdies so i have no issue walking right in front of where your hitting" lol

Those geese are fearless! 😂

Wow! This is such a great session, I've learned a lot even trying to apply it while watching. It simplifies my setup routine, down swing, and gave great drills to remind me of positions. Very nice! Thanks, Jerome! Your getting closer to your goal of becoming a Scratch golfer in less time than most of us.

Great on everything you show here. Dana has hit on every point for development. Brilliant format you've developed as a student LEARNING. Thanks a ton for this desperately needed instructional from Dana, and you bringing to light all the moves that need correcting in my swing. Invaluable!

Great videos man. So to add something to the end in comments, I was waiting for a geese, ball to head incident lol

I couldn't believe you carried 220 with a putter at the end. A true game changer ,who knew practicing driving with a putter helps your actual driver .wow!!

Golfing tmrw gonna try these at the range and on the course. Super stoked!

This teacher is excellent! I will definitely do these three drills as it feels like I have the same bad habits going. The reverse pivot, opening the chest and bending my right wrist at the top of the backswing to help with the clubface.

Another great video ! The swing looks great and hope you reach your goal soon. The tip about side bend is what I needed 20 years ago. Thank you !!! Keep on trucking!

thank you for the content! 😀

WOW. You are looking and hitting like a real Pro now Jerome . . Am loving the details in these videos. You have now crossed over into playing real golf now. You look so relaxed and calm now. Great job 👍

Nice you are making a great progress be proud of yourself

Another amazing video

your golf swing looks good and has improved so much. this coach is an ace.

Yes i love the lessons jerome.🎉😂

Dana is doing a great job explaining things and not letting you spiral into too many details. The golf swing is supposed to be athletic not an overthinking process once you get the technique mostly down. The one major thing I wish he'd have you do is swing at 50% speed a lot of times when hitting balls and pose on your full finish. A lot of times it looks like you're either off balance or didn't like the contact and then just grab the next ball. You just need to take your time, a small amount of correct reps are way more useful than machine gunning balls with bad reps.

Awesome when Grace stopped by to say Hi! ;)

Followed from the start. I struggle with all the things you do, reverse pivot is so hard to shake, and then trying to pressure left to get compression/divots after the ball. Been trying the turn hands down this week after your last lesson working well. Gonna give this side bend going under without pulling left a go now. Love it. Also I’m a big fan of Spearfishing 😆

27:53 P6 Magnetic Chin & Lead Shoulder. Had it myself. If you compare it to Dana's examples 29:22 and 30:21 you can see that you have ZERO space while the Pros have some separation. Dana is top of the list when it comes to coaching and gave you a bunch of clues in this episode on how to fix it. Good luck.

Jerome I'm going to play my first full 18 tomorrow after a year of practicing at the range and watching your videos! Can't wait!

Good luck - let me know how it goes!

I like that you are working on low hooks, and periodically a duck will wander right by😂

I'm digging this coach, I wish I lived close to get a lesson from him.

Great golf instructor.

Amazing video man. I never knew to move my chest over my non lead leg and since I’ve implemented that I’ve been absolutely striping the ball

My coach gave me the same drill setting up at impact position and hitting. And didn't understand how it would help when I went back to my regular setup. Now I understand that I didn't practice enough repetitions to train my brain. I will go back to that drill and practice it religiously and see if I can nail it!

Exactly what I've been working on with my swing lately, feel more tilt from the chest rather than rotation. The hips do all the rotating necessary for good impact and shallowing, just let the torso tilt :)

Thanks!

Nice!

I’ve been following and put these drills in today, didn’t hit all but the ones I hit felt great. I’ve been struggling with the shoulder turn versus the dip, great channel to learn the correct technique.

Do you think your lack of success could be due to flexibility? Side bend does require a decent amount of body mobility.

GREAT lesson. At last you are just doing what he tells you to do without judging the shot too much. After 3 or 4 goes you get a good result.

I can’t believe that duck bit Dana’s calf when he was explaining how to properly tie your golf shoes for proper rotation! Crazy!

Love to hear it. Glad these help!

Nice! Btw, I would like to see you play more on the course and play with different types of shots: draw, fade, low, high, punch, from toe, from heel, flop, chip n' run and course management etc.

Great video - DD really communicates the important ideas really well. Too bad there were no gold bricks flying around on the course though... That definitely didn't happen.

Have you seen Dana videos on Be Better Golf? They compliment your series nicely.

Those rabbits on the range were a hoot! I think the geese protect them! Good stuff btw!

There are two main types of golf swings: Arms or body. The body swing allows these feels and positions to happen easily and requires minimal effort.

How often are your lessons Jerome? I broke 90 for the first time last week and this channel is the reason! Curious about my lesson frequency and what’s ideal?

Also firetrucks are red and super awesome

On the backswing, try to feel like you’re reaching for something way behind you…you’ll create width, and it will prevent your back from going towards your left side. It will also ensure that your right elbow doesn’t bend too much.

I’d be interested in what you thoughts were of the STOW STICK golf accessory…. It sure has made a difference in my putting movements…. The resistance band also helped out in keeping my hands out of my game… “Thank You” for your for your well explained video..

Dana is the man. Swing is looking better everyday!

Maybe I've Ben watching too many of theses videos, but what happened to the Greg Norman drill and that pressure(like falling) into the left side? I'm assuming that as your swing improves these moves are phased out because they are over exaggerations of feelings.

That putting drill was crazy

Let's Go! .... To the algorithm store 😅

Who is paying for these best of best coaching lessons?

Assuming aliens haven't invented golf, Dana is the #1 golf guru in the universe. Jerome your swing is looking mint!

Best part 8:37 is when he talked about Egyptian cotton effecting swing speed. Who knew?!

Hey! Why is the alignment stick right there so you don't swing out to in?

Jerome, I have very similar problem as you with the lower body sliding left while not having enough right side bend through the impact. I am a 4 handicaper and constantly trying to improve swing mechanics. Looking at this last few videos where you are trying to incorporate more right side bend, I feel like this is a different release pattern to what the old school methods where hands and wrists are more active trying to close the face. This is much more depending on your body and wether you body can actually tilt like Nieman. Can you confirm with Dana that this release pattern may not suit everyone , its more for the ppl with enough flexibilty? Thank you.

Good video lesson. I learned a lot about my swing. I have something to work on after watching this video. I have to overcome bad muscle memory and develop the correct swing position. Thank you for sharing, I'm excited about my next practice. Keep up the good and friendly work.

what kind of program is the trainer using on his tablet?

I’ve implemented more side bend in my swing as I was doing similar things wrong but the day after my left side lower back is killing. I must have been doing the zalatoris side bend. How do I avoid sliding and side bending?!

Is this movement done once you learn how to get pressure left and turn the face down? I was just curious because I don’t rotate very well and this videos are helpful. But it was the video where you used the orange flex trainer

Can this work on up slope or down slope situation?

The other day I took my fish for a walk but forgot my shoes at the crib tomorrow. So I started hooking the ball and then went on tour. (I made it to the end)

I just wanna know if Rodrigo was ever able to get Dana’s ubereats delivered.

So a right hand underhand throw, or a slap at the underside of the ball are two ways of picturing it?

Hi Jerome, I had mushroom soup yesterday, and I don’t like mushroom soup!

Jerome, you have a conceptual flaw and lack of experience with double pendulum. You can’t fix concepts with mechanics. Try this drill, left arm only, 1/2 to 3/4 shoulder turn, full wrist set. To attack shallow from inside let your athletic brain takeover. You will end up sitting left and letting arm fall before turning body. Of course you will also be learning left hand alignments. The longer the club the farther behind you need to think of low point. There is more to learn but this concept will influence your entire swing and is why all tour pro’s look similar from P5 to P6. Later learn how to parametric left and thrust right as a swinger. Only do this if you want to learn how to swing a club. If you want to document a struggle with marginal improvement keep doing what you’re doing.

I’m curious, at the end when he hit driver he has a chicken wing and is not releasing his hands. I wonder why? I like the method but I’m curious about that? I’m fighting the reverse pivot and this all makes sense and is helping. Thanks

so i side bend and my lower back is done. just hurts so much (bottom right side) idk how to fix/what im doing wrong

From the down the line driver swing at 27:20 I can see that your hand path is very far away from your body on your downswing. I used to do the SAME THING. Look at where your hands are at address compared to impact. The things that helped me the most here are taking a backswing and just dropping your hands to feel the sensation of hands coming down and the other is the wall drill where the wall is behind you and you feel your club head riding the wall down vertically for as long as possible. Your hands have to come down. It will continue to be hard for you to draw the ball with your hands so far away from your body. You need to unglue your left bicep from your upper chest.❤

I have a question. From your video "I SiMPLY Fixed My Wrists Like This & It Solved My Hip Rotation Problems", Dana gave you a drill/task to hit the ball low and left. I have no problem doing that. In this video, does the new drill fix "low and left"?? Does it give you the same distance and produce a straighter ball flight?

I wish there were more numbers involved. From the looks of your flights your major issue was an open club face 10° plus to target. Almost looked like you were in to out with an open face but numbers would help determine that.

Man when are you gonna get that short game together?

How did you get tiger woods to show up to the range and give you the tips to hit the ball further happy Gilmore style? Did you have to pay tiger for the appearance?

Crazy when that goose exploded

that one of those birds didn't blow up from a drive lol

great series' look forward to the next one. take it from a guy who was a 2 handicap and now an 8. wish i had dana 15 years ago as a coach

Can dana swing this kind of swing? Just curious

This video is very confusing after seeing the previous one "rotation solved" in which Dana asked you to put your weight on the left foot and to turn. Here, it looks like he asked you to stay on the right foot then the pressure goes into the left foot during the downswing. Am I missing something ?

Best thing you need to realize. When you make a swing change, you will hit GARBAGE shots to start out. That is because of the cross between old patterns and new patterns. You want new patterns, and then your athleticism will kick in an ball will find the club face better. If you are result based, the result is changing the image of your swing, not where the ball goes when you practice swing changes.

I don’t understand how golfers like Scottie can do what seems to be that hip slide and have so much lateral movement without any back pain

I am by NO MEANS a golf coach but your tilts and angles look awesome. It almost appears you are afraid to release the club through impact and are holding onto it (specifically with driver)

Well, I had two beers while watching this video and didn't miss a putt on the putting mat. That's the opposite of how it goes on the course, when I have two beers.

Did Rodrigo find you?

with my flexibility, that side bent looks uncomfortable af. might give it a few try in the driving range but holy heck lol

Golf is the most difficult game devised by man, in terms of proficiency required in multiple areas in order to achieve mastery.

What didn't happen in this video... Hmm... the Geese really appreciated the fact you did not hit them and allowed them to fertilize the open spaces at their leisure.

Great stuff. Random comment, I’m afraid you’re going to kill a goose!! I may or may not have that experience myself. 😅

Bro, you are swinging like joaquin nieman now 🎉

Umm, the geese? Lol

Why not just allow the arms to lower more in downswing instead of so much side bend?
