A Golf Swing is NOT A SWING!! It's a SLING! Improve Your Swing with this Simple Understanding!

[Criscross]

Awesome! Yes, this 100% makes sense.
I have no idea why some of the comments say it is confusing. It’s really about as basic as it gets.

Wow! This was finally, _FINALLY_ the one magical golf tip that permanently 'unlocked' my perfect (pro-feel) _practice_ swing and allowed me to move it onto the _real_ tee box! My foursome stopped talking to me! LOL! Thanks, mate!

This is one of the best videos I've seen for the golf swing! I watch several golf videos every single day and this one really resonated. Well done, Dan! I'll be working on it tomorrow morning!

Have literally watched thousands of golf instruction videos, bit of a hobby of mine but feel this is probably one of the most unique and potentially useful videos out there . Perhaps basic golf lessons could incorporate this from the first lesson .imagine how simple golf could become whereas now it s a minefield of contradicting instruction that clouds the simplicity of a golf swing .well done that man.

Spot on Dan! Most golfers I would say, try to 'Hit" the ball. This is what a rigid shaft would make you think you should do. Slinging the club on an arc, is what actually happens. The club head (weight) gathers the ball and propels it (momentum) towards the target.

Hey Dan, I first saw your videos a couple years ago and I have been wwrking on my sling and I have gotten it to the point that I cannot hit it any better, my swing has changed completey from my post hip replacement swing. I was not able to usemy legs ver well, but my Ortho Doc said, they look good, play everyday for a few weeks and if they continue to hurt, then come back.
The result of slinging isnthat my hips aregetting better with all the movemnet I make through a swing. Its quite amazing that once the pain was gone my legs and hips couldmake the moves i needed to clear a path for the sling to follow.
Thank you for your golf instruction, it fits in with much of what is being taught by the best pros.
Great video as always! Thanks.

Dan’s back!!! Thanks for the video! I always have to remind to grab my PRO when I get out of sorts.. One of the issues that I have once I put the club in my hand is keeping my rear back. Even when I swing the PRO, I feel like my stance is too tall.

Prior to seeing this video Ive been working on a VERY light golf grip. My focus was maintaining the same pressure from address to impact. I began feeling the club, weight shift & tempo. Less urge to HIT the ball during the downswing.
Im hitting pure shots with less effort. Your video describes what I've been practicing! Makes perfect sense. Thanks!!

Glad I stumbled onto this.Thanks Dan! 👍

Best vid I've seen in two years. Thank you!

[dghys]

Excellent advice. This should be the first lesson any newbie gets

[donniecorrigan]

OMG Dan, that makes so much sense ! Good on you,

[chipnorris]

Great instruction and makes perfect sense

[dragonfliejones]

I understand why this concept is a foreign language to our super smart adult brains that says swing as hard as you can at the ball with your arms feeling the shaft as a lever (to use his words), but this video will change your (golf) life if you can spend the time to grasp the concept which will take time on the range + coming back to this video and repeating until it clicks.

[Beadlesabout]

Brilliant advice. Exactly what I needed to understand. Thanks for making it so simple to understand. You are a great teacher

Sounds like he is applying the mechanics of centripetal force which makes sense. To do this will cause me to think entirely differently. Makes my head spin. Will give it a go, though.

Great video, Dan. Builds perfectly on your past videos on the proper way to use the golf club, especially the recent one talking about how the golf club “lies to us.” Would love to see a side by side of a swing and a “sling.” Thanks for posting this.

Wow. Complicated and simple at the same time. Really well explained. Thanks. Eric

Where is this golf course? It looks like a painting 😍

[hacksgolfclub]

I just figured this out the other night in the yard while teaching my wife to stop being so stiff and loosen up in her swing and it made my game better. Wish I saw this video and tool 5 years ago!!
