Hitting With Your Right Side for MORE POWER, CONSISTENCY and CONTROL

People often talk about hitting the ball with your right side, but what does it actually mean and what benefits come from doing this? Dan covers a lot of great technical information in this video that can hopefully help you to improve your swing.

Fantastic Dan - this "hit with the right side" feel for me takes at least 5 individual swing thoughts for the downswing and combines into one. Game changing compression and consistency since adopting this ONE swing thought. THANK YOU!!!

Love the video. Would love to see a separate video on the Right Side when using the Driver. Thanks.

Great video. For years I struggled with coaches telling me to "release the club" and create "extension" and when I would continue to hit blocks and snap hooks they would say that I was flipping the club instead of being "connected". We would play this game of back and forth where the definition of this elusive "release vs flip" led me to believe that both were exactly the same thing and results were dependent purely on your timing and how many balls you hit. Since I abandoned the concepts a long time ago and haven't looked back since. Passive wrist angles with soft arms as demonstrated in this video combined with working the right side through the shot is way easier!

I have had an injury and have not been getting through the ball, what you talk about is so very obvious and should as I see it get me back to my swing, thanks Dan another great video lesson

I’m 70 years old and have lost distance on all irons until today. Hitting from the right has worked for me. Amazing and thanks, , , ,

Good tip. I find that when my right lat/shoulder goes through, I can maintain the bent right elbow to impact otherwise it's a lash at the ball.

As a left hander who learned to play golf right handed I've always had a dominant left side. This video was really helpful for getting my head around the 'feels' I need to more consistently engage my right side. It's already helping with my ball-flight and strike consistency. Great video Dan, thanks.

Dan... one of your best instruction pieces... I review it over and over, especially when my swing is off. Thanks

[markhimpoo]

Hi Dan, if you are hitting with the right side, how do you initiate the transition? Is it different? How do you effectively clear your left side ? Are you more open at impact? Thanks for another sensational video.

This is exactly what I feel is the error in my swing Dan. I’ve suffered with early extension, high handle, right heal coming up high on down swing for years and although I ‘feel’ like I’ve tried to make changes, the truth is I’ve never achieved it. This concept looks great and is something I will try tomorrow. Speak soon about booking a lesson. Jason, Essex

This is great instruction. I have trouble getting the timing of the feet, hips, and shoulders. The single right arm drill will help.

[randymahony]

Another great video Dan. It always made sense to me to use the right side because I'm right handed and all my power comes from there.

Great instruction, my head goes back through impact resulting in inconsistent strikes. This will be a big help.

Excellent video In golf nobody gets it right all the time isn’t that the beauty of golf? Practice practice practice never makes perfect but it sure helps. The thing about coaching videos is in the understanding of what happens in the swing and how it’s described, too many show what not to do and basically we all know that, that’s why we’re watching the videos in the first place.

[keithacarl]

Pretty much what I'm working on right now. I feel like I need to have my trailing shoulder pointed toward the ball around the moment of impact while brushing the ground with the tip of my trailing thumb.

[mikebeck]

Dan I have watched this video countless times... you are a master of instructional analysis! Great, great lesson!

[Carnakr]

Great concise information and feels to get the body turning through the ball with the right side getting down to the ball with the iron handle in front of the ball is great instruction.

[barriefitzgerald]

He explains so well I actually understand

Such good content from this channel. One of the best on YouTube!

I need to put it on my "to do" list to watch this video every month, all too often I fall into the trap of the sling shot swing and hope everything lines up at the ball which it frequently doesn't. Nothing beats the feeling of compressing the heck out of the ball with the right side !😊
