agreed bro

Priceless instruction! I also appreciate how you’re not afraid to ask whatever you need to know. “What’s a block?” “What causes a divot?” Dana clearly likes the lesson tee and your attitude as well as your skill. More power to you! It helps that a lot of these tendencies are mine and we no doubt share them with thousands of players. Golf is stupid and great.

It’s so refreshing to hear a golf instructor/teacher not talk in paragraphs! Straight to the point and explains exactly what to do and WHY we have to do it. Great videos 👊🏼

My swing has improved with Dana’s lessons! I can relate with every single thing he’s teaching you! Keep it coming 🏌🏻💪🏻

Flushed 9 and 8 irons today because I took all his lessons to the course. Wish I would have finished the video before I went, I was avoiding my long irons and wondering how I should hit my 5 wood. Dana is the man!!

your content is so incredibly helpful. all these coaches are amazing!

Post more of you playing. Like 9 holes etc. But this time use a push cart so u focus on every shot. Would be interesting to see results

Whatever you do , stick with Dana , other coaches are giving sound bite info , he is the real deal , so knowledgeable and patient, he sticks with proven data and movement and matches it to the golfers ability and learning style .

seriously, do stick with Dana. after i’ve taken so many lessons through out the years. Golftec, online, driving range instructors, academy instructors, and with Dana. Just stick with Dana. Other instructors can get you to hit the ball better, but they won’t impart with you the knowledge of the swing and biomechanics the way Dana does. and that will stick with you. Also Dana’s the only instructor who will have me hit the best ball striking of my life on the spot on the lesson every time.

​@@vgolf10 - If you're a single digit handicap & trying to get to that next level then I can understand this type of lesson. He's a 20 plus handicap with a beautiful swing but no consistency. How about making a some small changes to that instead of trying to get the perfect hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, etc. position. He can't make a swing without a hundred thoughts. My opinion is not worth much but he wants comments from his followers.

I was at the range the other day and had been struggling with misses high right and short, like 30 yards short... Felt like I couldn't close the face and was swinging way to the left; much more than I usually do. In retrospect I was just doing a horizontal turn with basically no side bend. Eventually worked into feeling exactly what was talked about here where I was getting that side bend and getting more vertical through impact and follow through. Immediately started hitting draws and straight shots with the distance I was used to. Nice to watch this and make sense of that feeling and what's supposed to be happening.

Dana is a gem! He’s worth every penny especially that you figured the key steps of unlocking your swing. Will save you years of pain trying to figure it out on your own. That guy is very patient with all of your questions lol (I do love all of those questions you have because I had the same 😂)

I would 100% stick with Dana. This guys teaching skills are so good. He Explains things so well with the tech of it, but dumbing it down to get a great understanding of why things happen. Dana and Sean foley are the 2 coaches I try to follow and listen to on every pod, KZread vid etc that I can

Don’t let yourself get in the way of yourself. Be willing to ignore your own mental questions and focus on simple instructions your coach is giving you and it will all come easier and make playing a whole lot more enjoyable. You remind me of myself not that long ago

This guy seems to be great at giving you info when needed and telling you when to get you to stop overthinking

Love this content. Extremely informative and your questions I feel I would have asked

Great content Jerome thanks for taking the time

This is good stuff. I like how you're exhibiting the common tendency to want to jump ahead, believing you already have what you learned and then that belief is proven completely false. A lesson for all of us.

Yea Dana is unbelievably correct in his lesson here. I "taught" this to myself and it changed my game. The idea of shifting pressures and shifting to be the motor of the swing allows so much more quietness in hands, etc, and feels way more athletic. He has you on a phenomenal path here. Keep it up.

Awesome video! Your coach is great

This is your best video!!! Good job and the pro is giving you the goods! I’m watching buddy!!

Love your vids man. It seems like Dana’s teaching and theory is more conducive to a push draw swing, it’s refreshing compared to many other coaches these days pushing everyone to spin open, spin the hips, open the chest all to hit a small pull cut

Like I said before, this coach is one the best on the planet if not the best I’ve seen. Top dog. I would also ask questions that are relevant and stop all the vague nervousness stuff for quicker results.

my guy has one of the best coaches in the world giving him lessons every week but still tries to tweak his own swing lol just do what Dana tells you and trust the process!

Great lesson! Now go slow and stick with the drills and feels in order. Slow and steady will get you there. You are very smart and work hard. Thank you for allowing us to get a view into what world class lessons look like. We are all rooting for you! I like this coach, stick to it!

Man... aside from you being way more athletic, I feel like I'm going through the same problems as you, Jerome. I worry so much about making certain changes, and thinking "what if this happens, oh no". Love how you've stuck with Dana and we're getting weekly (or more) lessons. This is amazing. I am really not interested in how some channels jump from coach to coach. Love seeing you work with him, and love seeing your progression/ah-ha moments.

All great training videos with some really useful tips!!! And you progress is coming along nicely!!! When are you going to play a round of golf, so we can see how much you have progressed, it seems nothing but training videos at the minute!!! Keep up the great work 👍

great lesson! In the last video, Dana emphasized that you should flight the ball low by swinging more left. In this one, with the Greg Norman drill he wants you to have a high launch by swinging it more right. So which of the two is he wanting you to do? Does it change with wedge vs low iron then?

I like this guy!

Can you do the drill with the driver. Fantastic info. Kudos to you.

Yup he’s my long term full swing coach!

I still dont know what your hands have to do in that lesson ? Did they close automatically as Dana said?

💯🔥

You pull the handle up but the angle between your arm and club shaft gets larger. Youre rapidly extending the radius from your shoulder to the club head. Thats how you pull up but still hit down. Your throwing/slinging/kicking the club head down.

How often do you see Dana for lessons?

Hi Dana. I am not trying to be smart, but when you said the golf club bottoms out on the shoulder, is that specific to what you want Jerome to do, and because of his mechanics? My thoughts through reading and videos, are the sternum is where the club bottoms out, unless it's a driver. Again, I hope I don't come accross as smart, this is always what is difficult about teaching/learning trying to understand what is being said. Thanks in anticipation.

What hits home for me is the wrist obsession, where I got stuck for a while. Setting the right wrists can be a valuable drill, and it can improve contact, but it's sold as a one-trick solution, youtube clickbait. Better to concentrate on big muscles, big width, and big turn, minimizing wrist cock, and just pushing the hands forward at impact, instead of deceiving yourself into thinking that you can improve impact by controlling wrist position at impact, like the Ben Hogan drawing. Work on the big things and forget the little ones.

For the algo!

Dude - It takes real talent to score so badly with all the best of coaches over the last 8mths, built like a god and have youth, a sportsman A-type personality and flexiblity! When guys I know try what you are trying I encourage them to go out again but this time with a putter, SW, 8i and 5i. They almost always score better. Sometimes that you have to see what you are doing by simplifying your options. e.g. Putter from up to 10yds from the green would have got almost every one of your poor chips closer. Golf is about trust and trust is about good coaches but also about time and digging out of the dirt - too many cooks and not enough prep.

@timmyotoole6063 ... hahaha.. i guess it's a bit weird... but if you've watched this lesson, it's just a swing thought to help with timing.. hip rotation at its most basic is the flexing and bending of the knees.. during rotation when you straighten or "snap" the left leg.. it helps ROTATE your hips open... when you snap that left leg straight during the down swing it INCREASES the speed of the club head "down" into the ball (increases angular momentum). Your arms and hands play a less "active" role in the speed of the club head.. the majority of club head speed is the natural whipping of the club resulting from us naturally "pulling" in the opposite directing the club wants to go.. anyway.. for me.. understanding the physics of the motion helped me understand why my legs were so important in the downswing.. snap, crack, pop... (the cereal) just so happens to be my swing thought so i dont think about my hands... at those speeds.. your hands become passive... you shouldnt have a death grip of them.. this coach is the best so far.. hands down better than all the others

Think you are overthinking the mechanics and that can mess you up since different mechanics can be right for slightly different swing types and since you are trying to build a swing and listening to too many mechanics, you will at some point need to just decide on something that works well and go with it. Seems to me you are swinging worse than 6 months ago where you were more natural and smooth, now quirky and indecisive.

You have the full swing of a low to mid single digit handicap player. Play more golf! I will caddy for you.

I get it coach is good. But this whole super tweaking every simgle part of the body is nuts. The goal is to focus on 1 or 2 things and executing them properly so the rest of the body can naturally do the rest. Imagine how many thoughts are going through this brothas head from weight shiting to belly button tightening to wrist neutralization nah that's bot how golf works. Impossible

@timmyotoole6063 AGREED! He keeps telling Dana, "Well, I hit fine here, but not on the course." I am not Jerome, but I feel mentally he is at the point of like. "Wait, I should be hitting badass shots and I am not. What is wrong? WTF." He is acting like his remote on his 75" screen tv doesn't work.

Imma be real with you. This guy is basically trying to teach you a push-draw swing. I think this is incorrect for you. I’ve seen your previous videos and your NATURAL tendency is to rotate your body fast, along with your high flexibility in your torso. Instead of trying to fight your natural tendencies, you should be utilizing your athletic rotation to START the ball left and fade it back in. You just have to dial in your wrist position at impact (which is why I think you were trying to bring it up). If you were my student I’d teach you how to close the clubhead a little at impact (by developing your wrist angles) and utilize your natural talent of body rotation to have you exit left through the ball.

I'm fully aware of who he is, he works with mostly junior golfers who are still developing and growing into their bodies. Jerome is a fully grown man with fully-formed habits, and adults in general require a different approach to maximizing their potential. I'm not saying I'm a better coach than he is - I'm not saying I'm worse.

Most pro golfers learned to draw before they started hitting fades. Beginners including Jerome tend to swing out to in which will naturally gravitate towards a slice unless they learn to neutralize it, that's why you teach beginners the baby draw because it counters the beginners natural, bad tendencies.

@@esteban246pros that started playing as a child learned to hit draws because their undeveloped upper bodies are much weaker than their lower bodies. They need to use their legs to generate power and use the ground to drive up and into their shot. In contrast Jerome is fully developed, and like i said in my other post, as an adult his strength and natural tendency is using his powerful rotation to swing the club. I see this ALL THE TIME with athletic adults, and trying to fight that tendency is detrimental to their development. Also, he doesnt have an over the top problem, he has an open face at impact problem which can be fixed by learning to stabilize the wrist angle and getting into the slot while still allowing him to rotate hard. Instead, all these coaches are trying to fix him by teaching him a push-draw, stalling out his natural rotation and causing an awkward follow-through. It’ll get the job done eventually, but I’m saying it’s not optimal and won’t allow him to fully utilize his innate strengths.

Just remember Tiger Woods will always be the second best golfer in the world because he'll never touch Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman doesn't come in a top five
