I’ve been following you for over 10 years and even bought one of your videos but could never really understand or implement your instructions… till now 😮… I’m obviously a slow learner but it all has come together after watching this video & the “Collarbone” video… for me this explains it all… watched both 5 times per day for the last 5 days then went out and shot an easy 77 in club competition (36 putts 😢)… that’s 4 under my age… seriously wanting to play again … thank you 😊
I haven’t tried any tips yet but I’ve watched about 5 videos and I truly believe you are right on it’s up to me to make it happen with your help thank you
I do have a degree in engineering. Force equals mass multiplied by the square of velocity. This is kinetic energy. The club loses velocity when it’s kinetic energy is transferred to the ball. The key of “hitting through the ball” is to prevent you from decelerating before striking the ball and lowering your velocity. The ball doesn’t care how long it took for the club to gain it’s velocity any more than your body would care how long it took for a vehicle to reach 60 mph be it 5 seconds,5 minutes, or 5 hrs. In any case, I always come back to Darrell when I inevitably start pulling the club with my arms and slicing. He’s the truth ( other than his understanding of physics).
The key to all of this is the setup, especially for big golfers. For me, I swing best when my weight at address is over my ankles. If I tilt forward, the club goes more up than around. It becomes virtually impossible to hit the ball solidly with a backswing that's too vertical.
I gotta' to tell you, if good marketing is keeping your message simple, making the swing look easy and convincing your audience that anyone can do it then this guy's marketing is superb. His message makes sense and he explains it well. I understand it's a baseball-type swing like Jimmy Ballard but this guy's explanation is sooo much easier to understand and POTENTIALLY implement. Of course the devil is in the details, but I've got to commend him for coming up with an entertaining and informative video.
Amazing how easy this is . No matter how many golf lessons i have I always come back to this swing . Its too easy . You smash the ball . No sore back . No need to think about the pivot , wrists etc . Nothing . All you will have to do is work out the grip ( stronger or weaker ) to get the shot you want .
I agree totally - adopting this simple natural swing has taken my handicap from 22 to 6 The secret I found is NO TENSION - no strong grip - no extra effort in the down swing - n otensing of the arm muscles just let it happen As a 70yo I drive upto 230metres a 5 iron to 170 metres - Its a simple game
I can really hit the driver with this swing just turn back and snap it from the top but with irons can't repeat the feeling just not very consistent contact any tips chipping works great also .
Darrell, I have all your VHS tapes, that shows you how old I am...LOL I think I need a refresher course, back to the basics...What do you recommend..I am a 13 HC but want to get in the single digits! Thank you Hal
i've been a 13 for 30+ years and it's hard to bust through for me. at 74 yrs old maybe it's as good as it's gonna get but always trying. i gotta get my putting back, used to be a strong suit.
Yes and today’s ball is manufactured to not spin as much to reduce side spin particularly for slices… but DK posted this some 10 years ago when low spin was just coming into vogue… the more you learn how to control YOUR spin the better you will play… high or low. 🙂

I am pleasantly surprised in a positive way regarding your superb teaching. 👍
Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to give it a try!
Unbelievable how good this man is
Spot on Daryl . 👍🏻 the single best golf lesson on RUclips!

Darryl this is absolute Gold thanks
Thank you for your simplicity. Patrick Cosgrove
This is such excellent advice thank you Darrell 👍🏌️
Best golf video I have seen
And I have been "playing" golf for 30 years
Nice work
Wish I had seen this in 2014 :-(((
Best teaching video on YT.
Some of the best teaching I have ever seen !
Darrell, very valuable information 🏌🏽♂️
This video is a keeper. Gold!!!

keeping a bit of a connection of the elbows and torso is huge.
This guy is spot on

Yep, best 30 minutes on the golf swing I ever saw and I am over 70.
Great instruction
13:30....now I know why my practice swing always feels different than the real one.
Awesome!
I can really hit the driver with this swing just turn back and snap it from the top but with irons can't repeat the feeling just not very consistent contact any tips chipping works great also .
Great
So are we flipping our right hand or left hand.
How about a video on fairway woods off the fairway?
He said, “go to the website and dial in there”. Anyone still using AOL with dial-up internet out there? 😂
Thanks

Can you do a similar video on irons?
He teaches the same swing for irons, just different ball position and hitting the ball then the ground.
Nice Video.... Its take a lot of years and hitting a lot of balls before you can hit a ball with your eyes closed..
good
I am playing so badly, I have run out of words to call the golf ball.
4:20 ish 8:40 ish 9:25 ish 15:20 and 16:00 ish 🌟
I understand the throwing motion, but how is this done with shoulder turn and a straight left arm?
How many people on here have actually taken a lesson with Daryl in person
Nowadays players want driver backspin around 2,000.
