Love how Dan turns in all directions to show positions especially the up the line views really show how the body and arms work through impact...can’t wait to try on the range

Impact has never been explained to me like this. Totally makes sense and some great drills to go with it. fantastic stuff

best video ive seen to explain and demonstrate impact positions. great video dan

I have been hooking the ball like hell suddeny these days. After watching your video, now I realize that I tried to hit the ball harder through release for distance, too much. Thanks a lot for waking me up, Dan.

Thanks so much!!! I've been taking lessons and have added a lot of distance through better mechanics but felt I had lost predictability. Straight shots, 5-10y pushes right, 20y pull hooks left...every shot was an adventure! I was thrilled with what I'd gained but it wasn't of any practical use yet. The next step step was to get some repeatable directional control back. Your explanation and demonstration of how the pivot works coupled with the 9-to-3 and right arm only drills now have me hitting lasers high, straight and even further one after the other! I feel that this was the missing piece to make my new, more powerful swing actually useful on the golf course. What timing for you to have made this video! Thought you'd like to know this has dramatically helped my game. Thank you so much so what you're doing, it really makes a difference!,

Wow...I have to admits that your conception of a golf swing really fits me. I can relate to everything you have done so far. I really enjoy watching them and they really helping me with my games. I take lessons with my local pro here in canada and what you are doing kind of complement the work that he is doing with me (you share the same fundamentals). I have a better understanding of what is a good swing and I can honnestly say that I'm getting good in my knowledge of the bio-mecanics aspects of it. You have a way to deliver your contents/information in way that is very easy to swallow. You've gain 3 ranks on my hero's list ;) Keep on the good work

Dan... I enjoy playing golf but I enjoy the learning part even more. You have had a tremendous impact on my golf odyssey. Thanks

excellent video dan. really makes it clear to keep hands in front and the body closes the clubface.

it's difficult for me personally to imagine this sort of "dragging" the handle generates the cluhead speed that it does...explains why my swing isn't as good as I think it should be. I have that exact flip that I think is squaring the club face up to the ball. It's also proof in that almost any pro golfer I watch has this same move... Going to have to take this to the range!! great vid

Thanks Dan, excellent vid, I was ‘ flipping’ , this creates much more power and better strike through rotation and for me easier on the body ..

Excellent videos, Dan. Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your knowledge!

I hate to be 'that guy' in the comments but after seeing this I feel like I've never understood how to swing the club correctly until now. I always tended towards a crack-the-whip style swing in which the club face closes immediately after (and to be honest often before) impact. Got a lot out of this video, thanks Dan.

Victor Y me too! I've had lessons but I've learnt more about how to swing a club just from watching Dans videos! Everything just seems so simple and makes perfect sense!

These are great remakes! Thank you so much for doing this. Terrific explanation.

Another great video Dan. I enjoyed the original, but the production of the new version is much more professional. Looks like the work you are doing with Rick is reaping rewards for you both! He gets to play in the Open next year and you get an Oscar!!

Dan, this is an awesome video! I really like your content. Sometimes, I think your explanations are just too technical, and I don't know how to incorporate the concepts that you are teaching. But in others, like this one, I LOVE when you add those drills in to show how I can really adopt those concepts into my swing. So so helpful. Looking forward to all your videos going forward.

+Dan Whittaker in fairness you understand the swing at a much more advanced level. :) again, love your stuff.

22 handicapper watched this today, shot an 87. thanks Dan!

Hi Dan, thanks a lot. Finally really clear stuff on the web ! I love it

This is just what i have been looking for brilliant to watch enjoying every bit.

Would love to see some putting instruction. Great info best teacher I have seen on KZread.

Great visual images to help reproduce the body feelings through impact

Another great video and fits in well with what I'm trying to do but you explained it really well and the drills look just what I need. Looking fwd to practicing those drills. Many thanks.

Outstanding video. I can already see an improvement in my swing.

I use to find those club with stick ver useful. Just make half shots with it and prevent the stick slamming into your body at/after impact. Although it is quite hard to do it, it helped me a lot to get some proper rotation and face control.

How did you create it? What did you use as a stick?

Superb Dan. Thanks.

Fantastic video! Now I know a lot of work. Thank you so much! I subscribed to your channel after watching the lessons with Rick Shiels.

Great explanation and simple, the sort of stuff I need to know to improve.

"....the right elbow as a pivot point..." click! this gives me a new sight of the downswing. hope this works out on the range. one thing i struggle with your style of golfswing is that point when it comes to impact. i can not imagine how you get a clubhead that moves down into the ground. Me as a professional "early extender" and "low backpain ignorer" therefor a "ball picker" have no clue how to hit a iron down with a compressing motion. Maybe you can give us a few aspects to this thought... Great content by the way, spending way to much time with you :)

Hi Dan great videos have made it much easier to distinguish the 2 different swing styles, I’m working on the more modern body swing I get everything you’re saying I’m wondering from the top of the backswing how do you bring the club down what’s the procedure or feeling to get it to last parallel I get everything you’re saying from last parallel through impact

Have put that one in my watch again list, Cheers Dan

Great Stuff Dan. Very clear and useful explanation. Keep it up!

Looking forward to testing this as i over rotate the club trough impact and have been struggling to understand why i'm so inconsistent even though i seem to have a very good setup and takeaway. I've been messing with the takeaway for months, thinking it was at fault.

Great to see great content repolished.

I cover the ball with my upper body and turn through with good hip rotation, get good distance . But end up brushing grass loosing some compression. Any thoughts ? I think I do what you say in this lesson. Ball flight mid to high with draw

Can´t wait to get out of the office and try this, thx Dan!

Something for me to still work on with this drill well explained! 😃👍

Golden stuff here.

Thanks Dan

Good stuff Dan. Thanks

Hi Dan, great video. I have tried your impact drill today on the range and my ball striking has improved substantially. Obviously hands in front of the ball works great for irons, but what about the driver? Can you do a video for us on impact with the driver?

Hi Dan, Rick sent me! Great vids you have here!

Great video!

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?

Thanks for all the great content!

Good video,exactly what I am working on just now. Only issue I have, is that I sometimes present the heel or hosel during these drills. Any further tips for this ?

enjoying your vids Dan....Rick sent me

Hi dan,,,,, that's me in a nutshell flipping my hands over wondering why things always go left,,,,,,, great vid 👍👍

Brilliant Stuff

Awesome

Dan for someone that has played the game getting the club face square and chasing down the target line. Where would you suggest starting to rebuild their swing? Accuracy hasn't been a problem but distance is affected. Hooks with the driver off the toe because of early extension plagues him as well.

Dan ….really enjoy your channel. You make the body rotation swing seem easy and powerful. My problem is that I produce a push fade with my body rotation…..while I’d like to produce a push draw. Am I not rotating fast enough, going left fast? ….or could it be as simple as strengthening my grip? What have you found in your students when they produce that push fade? thanks

Lawrence P - Look at his reverse K video mate.

Thank you for this video!! Good thing I did not listen to the so called 'club releasers' who want you to twist or flip the club. What a load of nonsense they were!

Thank you for this. One question: I am a very long armed person with a squatty body. I struggle getting my right elbow in-front of the right hip on the downswing and end up trapping it closer to my pocket (outside hip) and end up "stuck". Do you have tips for ensuring you get that elbow to the correct spot?

Fantastic. Subbed

Great video, how did you create the extended bar out of your club?

Please explain about leg movement during this move?

Thaaaaaaank youuuuuuuuu veeeeeeeeeery muuuuuuuch.

You are a genius.

Hey Dan. I've recently went to this rotational type swing and am hitting the ball better then I ever have. My long irons I'm not hitting as well. Do I need to do anything different with the long irons?

Goid vid mate!

how would one create power doing this coming from the flip motion? load it more with the lower body? or just trust that it will have more power than your flip motion bcuz it is correct? I know that is the correct motion but I'm afraid I'll lose distance if I change into this action...

Hi Dan great video, however me being a flipper to try to get more club head speed. I can not understand where the speed comes from to get a powerful release with what seems to be holding the club head off. Could you tell me how to get the club head and the lag created in the backswing to be strait at impact without rolling or cupping the wrist. I was a 6 handicapper and now a 10 since the flip and roll have crept into my release. Please Help. ;)

I noticed your right foot flips towards target not lift up. Is that important?

I hit massive blocks when I do this. Am I just not rotating enough?

But i see right foot lifts up during this move.

Impact is 5, ten thousandths of a second. Proproception does not work in ten thousanths of a second. In other words it is impossible to feel impact in real time. As a matter of fact once the DS begins, it is impossible to know where our hands or clubhead is in real time. IMPOSSIBLE, means not possible. No practice, no drills, no impact bags can change this fact.

mikal maybe technically correct but what I do know is the 'feel' of impact and I think these drills are designed to recreate a 'feel'.

@@andygreen1677 So knowing the "feel" isnt real, is ok for you. Ingrain that totally useless "feel", as long as it makes you feel better. .
