Are you getting fooled by The Illusion of a Swing?

[StephaneDroletGolf]

Dan, thank you for this video. When I look at the chapter, it made me think of Field of Dreams. "If you build it, he will come". Which I would translate to If you rotate, it will extend". The pro brings that extension feeling. The more you do it, the better the feelings, the better the swing. Thanks for your whisper.

The blue line graphic showing the extension and rotation of the club head due to the momentum extending out and away from your swing center was a good addition for your video.

Using my PRO has helped me feel a real golf swing. I’ve let some of the guys in our golf group try it, and it has helped most of them as well (there are a couple that just don’t get it). Thanks again Dan, outstanding stuff.

so well explained...your instruction is the best!

[markcampbell-hdwv]

Turn your shoulders on the backswing, get the club in a sling, get a rotation started on downswing....THEN WAIT FOR THE CLUB TO HIT THE BALL.
Resist the urge to speed the club up with your hands.It really is that simple.Thankyou Dan!!

Thanks Dr. Dan!! At least you're a doctor in my mind. I only discovered your videos and concepts about a week ago, and I can't tell you how much you have helped me, even though I don't own the Pro yet. Primarily, I have benefitted physically from the concepts you teach. I was guilty of trying to use my body, arms and hands to try to force the club to accelerate, which would cause me injury, soreness and fatigue. Since trying to implement the concept of transferring energy and allowing the club to accelerate without muscular manipulation, I am less sore, stubborn injuries are starting to heal, and I am significantly less fatigued after practice. Thanks so much Dr. Dan. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. I am definitely going to get the Pro so I can retrain my sequence more effectively, and start ridding myself of poor habits. Normally I am not interested in training aids, but I am convinced that the Pro will dramatically improve my swing techniques and make the game more enjoyable and physically tolerable. I wish every golf instructor would teach the way you do. Beginners and high-handicappers wouldn't struggle so much if they were given this information about how to properly execute a swing.

Good tip Dan, the golf swing has been made so complicated that it's beyond most people's ability to make sense of and I have to wonder if this was done on purpose to confuse people into thinking there was some elite level of abilities involved when the truth is far from it. Simply swing out behind then turn and your swing comes in to out and on path almost by itself, turns out it's so easy that little girls can do it and do it easily. Every one can do it easily.

I've been working on these concepts. I knew my lower body was a mess. My pressure transfers were not correct. My lead knee didn't move out towards the target as it should. My hip rotation was terrible. I've been doing it wrong 40+ years and I was honestly a bit distraught that I would never find a fix. How many hundreds of lessons would it take and how many thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of balls would it take to train my body into making the exact correct manipulations at the correct time?

Then as I began to swing the club with the rotation of my body rather than my arms, I discovered something interesting. In order to get the club to swing correctly with your body on the downswing, your lower body MUST make those movements, and it does it all on it's own. Your left knee pushes towards the target and your hips rotate open (at the correct time) all on their own.

Your channel and Shawn Clement's have finally got this through my thick head, I hope. It's just physics. Let physics be in control.

Another great video Dan Just let the club extend will allow acceleration to occur. Trying to consciously accelerate the club will actually do the opposite!! ie deceleration.

[markcampbell-hdwv]

Do the same principles apply for putting, just on a smaller scale??

[BrushlessNitroSlayer]

i have gotten to the point where if I slice it right I know I put in arms and came over the top or extended early all due to my arms trying to swing the club vs letting inertia do the job for me

My issue Is not hitting fat and not topping the ball most of the time? Not sure what aspect of my swing or posture or grip is most responsible for this.

[rangepro]

Dan you are 100% correct, but will not listen! I have swung a robe for years! BTW>>> if you go back watch Babe Ruth old videos you will see him swing the bat exactly the same way! thanks for posting!

[mplunky]

Dan is it right to say that if you have done the Pro swing correctly with a golf club that the club shaft will catch up to the leading arm in a straight & extended line into impact?...as that is what it looks like on slow motion replays.

Oh wow. Been playing golf 10 years. Just realized how bad I’m scooping by watching this. Even though I thought I fixed the scoop. You’re actually just drawing a big circle.
