Thanks Danny....still struggling with this concept, defo not easy., I have found it one of the hardest elements to master. Will be back seeing you soon mate.

Great video as always, thanks Danny!

Please try and get your spin rate down from 2958 to below 2500 to increase your distance

Thanks! There's a lot of good, practical information packed in those 8 minutes. "Simple, but not easy" is a great phrase.

Danny, are the shoulders open, square or closed at impact? I ask because if closed at impact, isn’t there a chance you can hit the ground on the downswing, plus it feels more natural to have the hips open and the body slightly open too? Your thoughts and advice.

Need to try it 👍

I use the furthest bay on the left at the range and there still isn't enough room to keep my ball in bounds 😅

great drill...seems my toe is up on downswing...are you shutting face when you rotate?

Great video. Thanks. I needed this video.

This is the BEST explanation of the swing i have seen on YT. And i have watched 100's. Thank you for this video and i am going to subscribe so i dont miss anymore of these. Cheers ✌️

Thanks ⛳👍👍 Les from Perth Australia

That was simple instruction , well given. Basically just two elements to it.Thank you, will try it.

In my case face control was never ending until I fixed my swing path. After fixing swing path face control was almost automatic.

Hey Danny, would you need to adjust lofts if blending 245 and 243? Or would the tech difference in the heads do the job for you as far as gapping is concerned?

Just drop your hands. It can take sometime to get use to it but it really helps you to slow down.

Absolutely right I just lost 18 months battling out to in path after being coached to aggressively spin my hips, disastrous advice.

Great explanation!

Does this arms down first work with the driver?

Good one thanks

Danny, I struggle with a left path. I lock-out my trail leg in the backswing, is this causing me problems would you suggest?

Well done Danny. I love the 4.30 drill.

I noticed this seem to be my problem , but for some reason my body feels better with in to out path, i will work on this driil & then trust it

Good analysis for pull shots 😊

Great video and definitely helps thank you

Thank you for the video. I hit a nice draw, but pull it once in a while. At 6:05, dropping the hands, appear that may create a shank in my swing. Is that a possibility?

This hit close to home. Good visuals.

This is a great drill...thank you.

Quit showing the wrong way over and over and over! Show more of the right way to make the swing. Chezzz! Way, way toooooo much redundancy! Show the right way more, not the wrong way!

chicken wing 😄what makes your chicken wing better than others, old news

Great video Danny!

Simple enough lol.

Each time I 'hit' from the top and chase the shot with my head, I overuse the right arm (the dominant arm) and the right side of the body - that instantly generates an irrecoverable over the top swing, across the line. Combine that with the release explained and the club face closes violently, twice as much, hence the fear. If you don't use the release, it becomes an ugly slice. In contrast, keeping the right arm more passive and using the vertical ground forces (posting on lead foot for weight transfer), club ends up on plane, from the inside. Do what Danny recommended for club face closing, plus attacking the ball from the inside - guaranteed beautiful draw! One quick comment, when you start hitting from the inside, if you don't transfer weight on front foot (I used to hang on the back foot) you will hit behind the ball, I struggled with that during the adjustment. Thank you Danny for a great explanation and the reasons as to why the release is not there for most of us!!!!

Nope, people play golf because they think that successful people play golf, that is why most people play. Its a bunch of old fat men with like +5 par and never getting any better.

3 minutes of useless information about what not to do! How useless as instruction!

I watched your lesson and for the first time I can say I got it after watching so many others and still not getting it right I’m a believer in cause and effect meaning you can’t think of everything while making a swing and for me it’s get to the end position that you show so well a good practice I find is to start from where you want to finish and take it to the back swing do that a few times coupled with the correct knee movement and when you make a swing it just happens Thanks again 👍

Hi Malcolm revisiting this video. Thank you for showing the release from p6 @3:18. Am on my PC so I can watch it frame by frame. Looks to me like a push with the right arm/hand (or throwing a ball under handed to a spot infront of the ball) and then a swivel so that the toe points vertically or even left. Would this be a correct description? Meaning the face moves & rotates differently from p6 to impact vs impact to p8 (or shaft parallel post impact). i.e. is not a mirror image. hope you understand my description. Thanks

My personal experience and what I now observe in others is that not understanding how side bend the spine in the downswing affects the release of club and textbook “pro” extended finish. That I think is because golf instruction conflates and confuses the terms “tilt” and “side bend”. Biomechanically the tilting / of the pelvis results from leg action. If the spine is straight the shoulders will TILT the same direction in the same amount. Side-bend is the result of sideways curvature of the lower lumbar spine ). It differs in two ways from TILT: 1) It changes the angle between pelvis and spine, and 2) it can be do INDEPENDENTLY from TILT or ROTATION of the hips and spine at any point in the golf swing. I learned how and when to side-bend by screen capturing videos of pro swings and analyzing them frame by frame. Most pros start to side bend in their downswings as their hands swing down past their back legs which creates a significant change in the shoulders vs pelvis angle, dropping the trail shoulder, raising the lead shoulder and pulling the hands down and more down the target line than they had been traveling because the tilting the shoulder also changes the path and force vector of the swinging mass of the lead arm which is the lever arm pulling on the hands! If you compare the swing of new golfer who does not side-bend what occurs is that instead of lead arm mass shifting and pulling the club towards the target, hands and club instead just ‘windmill” in a circle. That allows them to hit the ball with some success but does not allow them to execute that “pro” extension where the club force is allowed to pull both arms and wrists straight then transfer support and axis of rotation from lead to train shoulder. Instead due the circular force vector if the lead arm and clue what happens is the club trying to swing around the body forces the lead arm to bend at the elbow in a REFLEXIVE ATTEMPT to stay in balance in the finish. Why does that happen? Without side bending through impact the body doesn’t have the leverage to control and arrest the club head in the finish, what the two arm extension does, very much like the capture wire on a aircraft carrier slows a landing jet. Pros like Freddie Couples and Earnie Els who are known for their slow fluid finishes accomplish it by being exceptionally good at absorbing the kinetic energy left in the club after impact with the ball with their arms and body. What I discovered was the quickest fix for a noob or intermediate golfer who can’t finish in balance is to start by statically posing the in a side-bent “tour pro” impact position with side bend, forward shaft lean and back foot just starting to come off the ground to release hips for the finish. I have them swing up to the top, hold, then back down into that foreign and awkward feeling (to them) posture 3-4 times noting where their club is hitting in the ground then I put a ball 1/2” further back and watch them hit the best shot of their lives. Their comment is always some variation of “I had no idea a golf swing was supposed to work that way!” and that is the problem with how most instructors teach. Do this and that technique without explaining the goal is to get everything down to that impact position. Once their CONSCIOUS brains understand that’s the goal their REFLEXIVE brains which have been jerking the club around to try to keep them in balance will easily execute the goal. Not perfectly but from a much better baseline of understanding to work from.

What are some drills to make it shallow itself?

I never even realized i was doing it until and older fellow said i was being to wristy. I would always think of mike tyson saying all his knockouts came from the ground up. So yeah, pressing my leg down while speed up my swing then making sure that when the clubhead gets near the ball, its straight before finishing the release.

❤ thanks for finally doing this topic which I think is a core fundamental topic but 99% of instructors don't cover. the hands and wrists can move in so many different ways to make the club move. I understand that the backswing etc does matter a lot but without knowing how the club should swing, how you intend to release the angles and how to manipulate the clubface for curve or straight, learners will not really benefit. If we can't do feet together swings properly, it's not going to be helpful teaching step drills, shallowing, pressure shift etc. On your topic of release, could you possibly cover in the future how it helps getting hands ahead of ball at impact (good impact position), how to add manipulation in the right way to influence ball flight & curve. & the various mistakes & misconception you see from golfers when attempting a proper release.

Thank you, it was a solid lesson.

Enjoyed the content, Ty!

I just point the grip at my belly button because it makes me turn with the club anyway

100% agree....the fear of the release is often due to the over-the-top hitters fearing going even further left (or right). That's me to a t. And that's the reason I'm working hard to fix my over-the-top move. What no instructors really talk about is that not all of us over-the-top hitters are as exaggerated as instructors demonstrate. Some of us are just slight over the top hitters but even a slight over the top is enough to cause havoc on any course other than wide open courses with large greens. Good video.

What are your thoughts on the push down with the left palm, bend back with the right hand during takeaway method?

Love that rotary chair idea. That's getting used!

Very insightful Malcolm. I was struggled in this kind of hook movement. That in to out movement was exactly my problem. Love your videos!!!

Nice demonstration, Danny. My question is about rotating after impact. Should you end up more around to the left, with butt of handle pointed at left pocket? The rotation in video seemed like a quarter to half turn…

What a great presentation and explanation all the way through. This is a video I will want to save and watch over and over as I practice

Does this drill also work for the driver and fairway woods??. I usually don't hook my irons as often as the driver and 3 wood.
