- You should watch this 35 minute game changing video. In the end you will be convinced about how important impact is to the golf swing. It shows how most of the inconsistencies and frustrations that golfers suffer from are caused by a poor handle position at impact. It also shows what a good impact looks like and why it works.
I don't think I have ever watched a golf video that was so informative, and I have watched hundreds. This is how I like golf explained. Amazing work
Glad you enjoyed it
I’d second that - fantastic video. Backed by clearly explained science, it’s given me one of those ‘ah ha’ moments!
What to do yess...how to do...keep searching
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏👌
Possibly one of the few videos on golf instruction that warrants watching over and over and over again. Thank you for making and posting this extremely critical and informative video. 👍🏼
Glad it helped
Completely agree, I came across this video for the first time a week ago and I'm watching it for the third time. A lot of information but I want to have this knowledge ingrained in my mind.
Have I ever heard anyone so articulate? Marvelous voice and intellect imparting all this critical information. Regardless of swing mechanics all great players are similar at impact. That is the golden ticket.
Thanks for your comment Don. Good luck and if you have any questions, I'm here.
@@Dstgolf Has changed my game, at age 51, from being a duffer who ocasionally hit great shots to making great contact every time. Aim and distance still aren't always the best, but I just played nine holes and hit eight great drives on a CPGA-tournament course with fairways the width of a driveway. Irons, too. Really shows you how good the pros are that their control is so good. Thank you so much!
Seriously I want this guy to record audio books
All great players except Moe Norman...
@@J3MaZ27 wrong. ESPECIALLY Moe Norman.
After hundreds of golf videos...this video is the single best golf video I've ever run across. It is explained in a way that a mechanically inclined minds will understand. It has completely changed the way I was looking at hitting. The first thing is that I was trying to get the highest speed at impact, which I was, but it was without torque, resulting in weird readings on simulators. High club speed, poor distance, because I had no torque on impact. Many other lessons were equally learned. Amazing video.
Glad it helped!
@@Dstgolf When is the next video with exercises coming up?
This is the best golfing video I’ve ever watched. As an engineer, the rotational forces involved made clear sense to me and I instantly grasped the importance of the lead Arm/shaft angle/hands to club face angles and rotating forces and torques as a single equation at impact as never before.
I’m lucky to have a range set up with a launch monitor in my garden and went out and hit 60 balls with as much increasing impact lag angle as possible, way beyond normal. I then turned on the monitor and couldn’t believe I was adding 10 yards carry. That’s an amazing result for just 15 minute practise.
Fantastic explanation and lesson.
Thank you so much.
Regards
Steve
Keep going Stephen, It sounds like your on the right path. Good luck.
It’s a shame it feels so counterintuitive when you actually swing the club!
Best golf video by far i have ever watched ! Not sure why it took 30 years for me to find this ! Brilliant!
This guy is like a physics professor. Good information.
I'm a teaching professional in Utah and have been teaching this to ALL of my students for quite some time. This is the most informative video on the subject I have ever seen. Very detailed and yet easy to understand. During the first lesson with any of my students, I have them place the club over their trail shoulder and pretend it's a baseball bat. Then I ask them to hit an imaginary pitch to center field. Without exception, they will lead with the lower body and create lag and quiet hands through what would be the area they would be striking a golf ball. The release is always long after the point they release their normal golf swing. I will be having all of my students watch this video so they truly understand the reason we train for a proper impact position above all else. Thanks DST Golf for putting this together.
Thanks for commenting Kevin.
Been watching RUclips videos for years and I never comment on videos , I am commenting to say that this is the most informative video I have ever watched on RUclips. Thank you so much
In that case Richard, thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm delighted you got something out of the video. Stay tuned for more in the series with Ben.
Hi Richard, Thanks for commenting on my video. I'd really appreciate your comments on this newly posted video, ruclips.net/video/wgFVp1ltLE8/видео.html which shows the results of the differences between a Flip & Lag Impact and the effect that the DST Impact Line Technology has. I'd appreciate it if you might take the time to watch it and comment. Many thanks. Bertie
This is it.. All the hours and hundreds of youtube videos I've watched were a waste of time. You explain this concept so simply yet so detailed! If only I watched this video back in June when I first started to consistently practice.. Thank you for the great video!
Glad it helped!
Michael, Here's the follow up drills video, It’s called PRO UNDER SPOTLIGHT RANGE SESSION: 2 ruclips.net/video/CdkJCv_YulQ/видео.html
This is by far the best video about golf I have ever seen. It's important that you're talking about the core of golf, not certain moves and techniques. Thanks
Thanks for leaving a comment, I appreciate it. Sadly, both the teaching fraternity and manufacturers seem to overlook this critical information. When we know where the club needs to be at impact, developing a movement pattern to reach it becomes a lot simpler.
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen in a long time. I know I'm doing it, but struggled to visualise it. I manage to execute this well on the driving range but for some reason I tend to go back to my old ways on the course, hitting high draws with my irons and snaphooks with the driver. Very well constructed clip, thank you! 👌🏼
Thanks for commenting Tiaan, please consider sharing the video with your golfing friends and keep an eye open for new content coming out soon. Let us know how you develop over the coming weeks.

I came down to put in a comment about rolling shutter and he just nailed it. A lot of people don't know this or the way a camera works or especially what a "global" shutter is. Before I even got a chance to explain this you already covered it. THis is a great video that I feel is wildly underrated. As a scientist and engineer I can really appreciate what you said here. BRAVO.
Thanks Kevin!
Some much info covered in a concise manner. I love the narrator, great tempo and clear speech with no hype
Thanks for your comment David
Been playing for 3 years. This is by far the best treatise I've ever seen on club impact and optimal position. Game changing instruction.
Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your game.
This is definitely a ‘Carlsberg’ i.e. probably the best explanation of the importance of a good repeatable impact position in the golf swing on You tube. Thank you for taking the time to impart your knowledge so clearly.
Thanks for commenting Mike and Lynda. Good luck with your games.
Mike, Lynda, Here's the follow up drills video, It’s called PRO UNDER SPOTLIGHT RANGE SESSION: 2 ruclips.net/video/CdkJCv_YulQ/видео.html
This video is a fantastic technical learning tool and should be required viewing for all amateur golfers. Definitely one that I'll be sharing with all my golf buddies. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting Steve. Good luck with your game.
this is hands down the best explenation i have heard when it comes to impact and the importance of lead hand! Tnx!
Glad it helped Torbjørn!
Hi Torbjørn, Thanks for your comment on my video. I'd really appreciate your comments on this newly posted video, ruclips.net/video/wgFVp1ltLE8/видео.html which shows the results of the differences between a Flip & Lag Impact and the effect that the DST Impact Line Technology has. I'd appreciate your take on it. Many thanks. Bertie
I'm so relieved RUclips's algorithm brought me to this video. I went out the range last night and it was picked clean and closed. I was dejected because I wanted to immediately test your concepts. I started chipping and had the best session of my life. I then went old school and started hitting balls from by bag and shagging them myself. I have never hit the ball so well. The best part is I now know why mishit happen and what they feel and sounds like. No one is teaching this... start here everyone!! I'm thrilled to have something to work on in preparation for my upcoming Ireland trip.
Have fun in Ireland Todd, keep working on impact and good things will happen.
After a three year layoff from golf, my handicap went from -2 to -15 and I lost 'all' of my distance and feel. This single video has fixed everything wrong - DELAYED EXTENSION IS THE KEY!! Thank you so much :)
Glad it helped get you back enjoying the game.
This is the single best golf instruction video I've yet come across, and I've watched plenty. Watching it for the third time now. It really is a lightbulb moment when you realise that your position at impact is very different from your initial stance.
The golf swing is quite a counter-intuitive thing and I think that is because of loft - humans just don't have a natural instinct for striking objects with a stick that has loft on it. Put a baseball bat in someone's hands and they get the general idea fairly quickly. Put a golf club in the same person's hands and watch as they try to pick the ball clean off the turf, and maybe lean back and try to shovel it skyward. Have you ever considered creating an iron with zero degrees of loft just to illustrate what happens when you get rid of loft? And also what you would need to do to get the ball travelling a long way down the fairway i.e., tee it up very high in front of you and strike it uppishly at more or less full extension? (Would look a lot like a cricketer trying to hit the ball out of the ground). Could be quite eye-opening for many an amateur.
I think part of the problem for beginners is misleading concepts and terminology that, instead of helping them overcome their faulty intuitions, actually reinforce them. Consider the terms backswing and downswing for instance. It would be easy to draw the simple inference that the downswing is the _inverse_ of the backswing - in other words you need to return the club to the position you started from, right behind the ball. I think it is more instructive to describe the downswing as ending at the moment that the club head is about to pass the hands (i.e, at full extension). It stands to reason that this should come _after_ impact with the ball - you don't want to finish your downswing before you have even hit the ball. That's why, for example, Tiger Woods talks about wanting to feel the speed in his swing is highest after impact with the ball - he is still in the downswing phase and the highest speed in the downswing comes at just about full extension, or would do if it weren't for the force applied to the club head by impacting the golf ball. If the downswing doesn't end until full extension AND after impact with the ball then logically the ball must be impacted with a lag angle/forward shaft lean. Asking the question of a beginner golfer, "When does the downswing end?" could be a simple way to challenge their intuitions and help them reach the lightbulb moment.
Glad it helped Will.
Probably the best explanation I have ever come across, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This clip is the most essential key to correct the inaccuracy of the the most golfers' swing .It delivers me the easy understandable informative contents I have ever watched . It is worthy to watch again and again.
Thanks for commenting Sirawit.
This is without a doubt the best explanation of a golf swing I have ever watched . Wish you were around 40 years ago Excellent job Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
There are some people who just need to hear “get your hands forward at impact”. Some people need a 35 minute deep dive explaining why. Thank you for making something for the the later group!
The Impact Line is for the preceding group. Just get the handle to where the impact line points up to your eyes at impact! Simple.
Thanks so much for your reply. I'll play around with it on the range. Played 12 holes today. Found it fairly easy to get what felt like good impact positions on my irons.. but struggle a few times with my driver. Extrenely encouraging. 7 over for 12 holes on hc of 17... very please with that after only doing the drills in the back yard a& office for 1 week. Can't wait to get the compressor club!!! Thanks so much for the insight that really work and make sense!!!

This video drops straight knowledge for 30 minutes, literally no wasted time. Thank you for all the wonderful insight and perspective on the golf swing, this is my go-to video for a bird's-eye view of the fundamental thought process golfers should use to approach the golf swing! Thank you!
Thanks Alfredo, glad you enjoyed it.
I AGREE!!! I’ve been trying to explain that to some of the “best” golf instructors in the world. When I get done talking they look at me with this blank stair then after a beat “ok great “ So in the backswing we wanna…” like I’m a 3 yr old who’s wasting their time.
I have repeatedly tried to explain to them that if I don’t know how I’m supposed to get thru the ball the I HAVE NO GOAL. NO INTENT. So everything they teach me - every “position” they tell me to be in is… for me… a pointless waste of time.
Unless you Picked up a club as a child when your instincts are the least influenced by conscious technical thought - you come to the game with a pre-conceived idea of how to get the club to the ball. And if you happen to start really late - say upper 20’s and higher - AND have an instructor - you are REALLY behind the 8 ball.
Everybody and anybody who has consciously observed other people hitting golf balls - their brains will almost immediately create a concept of how to hit a ball and 99.9% of the time that concept will be incorrect.
Then if they go to a teacher and the teach watches them swing and then starts with…”OK… not bad… so let’s start with your backswing or takeaway. If that’s wrong you’ll never be able to bla bla bla.
SO WHATS SO BAD ABOUT THAT??
I’ve never heard if any teacher starting off by telling a student…”yeah ok. What you’re doing - what you’re trying to do is wrong”
Sound harsh? It’s NOT
IF nobody tells you that - I don’t care what they tell you to Practice or what position they want you to be in - even if that information is exactly correct - even if the player manages to find those positions - so the play can get the the top “correctly” - from THERE HE/SHE will STILL try to get to the ball the only way that makes sense to them - THEIR way -
And teachers are baffled: “I don’t get it. This kid gets right where he needs to be and then goes off twisting and turning and shanking it.
OR
The student will pick up the teachers instructions really well - hit their marks
(Maybe hit the ball) and the teacher will applaud them and be amazed that when they come back they’re doing all the same wring things they were doing when they met -
My long winded point is: of COURSE they’ve gone back to their way. The teacher - having said told the student “don’t worry about impact right now. If we can get the backswing where it needs to be the rest will just happen. WHAT!? But that makes no sense.
You can’t get to the super market if you don’t know which supermarket you’re supposed to go to
I have seen MILLIONS of videos: “STOP COMING OVER THE TOP!”
Then they’ll go in to tell you that’s it’s because you bring the club back WAAAAAAAY inside and from there you have no other way to get to the ball.”
Ok… I’m no teacher. I’m not even a good golfer yet but… I’m sorry Mr “I’m a member of PGA TEACHERS BLA BLA”
but that is INCORRECT!
People take it back waaaay inside cause that’s THE best way to then come OVER THE TOP!
Coming over the top is not a MISTAKE.
To a player starting out it is the only way that makes sense to the get the club head into the ball!!!!
Taking the Club waaaay inside and then coming over the top - while not consciously - is EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO.
Until they know that is wrong any instruction (to the student) is just another path to come over the top.
And they will try every backswing the teacher wants BUT once they’re done with that - the will reroute everything and find a way to be able to come over the top
Yikes. Hope that was insanely boring and actually made some sense.
Lastly - SOOOOOO many times I have asked a teacher “How does the club get delivered to the ball??”
And they’ll say:
“Don’t worry about that. That doesn’t matter right now. Just do the backswing stuff we’re working on and that stuff will just happen 😰
Great observation Ben and sadly all too true.
I’m a 70 y/o beginner, and have watched hundreds of videos to learn. This video is by far the best. It is a series of revelations for me, and has likewise created a series of ‘eureka!’ moments on both the range and the course.
Bob, Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you! This was the most informative and educational video I've seen about the golf swing. I've always felt that the impact position was the most important position and this video explained it perfectly. Again thank you and hopefully I can use this to understand my faults and get better.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I feel like I've learned more about the golf swing by watching this video than a year of lessons and practice. Very informative!
Thanks for commenting Viktor, good luck with your game.
This is the VERY BEST video I have ever seen on the mechanics of the golf swing! This video is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT and has helped me tremendously with trying to perfect the golf swing! THANK YOU!
Glad it helped
Wow what a eye opening video, I’ve been playing for many years off single figures but always struggled with consistent ball striking. A few hours at the range trying to get this optimum impact position and it has transformed my game, thanks so much for this insight!
Very welcome!
It’s a lightbulb deal, for sure. I watched Furyk win the U.S. Open & couldn’t believe how consistently solid he hit it. It helped me stop worrying about what my swing looked like and got me focused solely on striking it solid. An impact bag helped me tremendously.
This is probably the best instruction video on the golf swing!
Thanks Ibadan!

I feel like I now owe this man an essay on how I applied his lesson out on the golf course. Thank you for this beautiful breakdown 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
after 15yrs of my learning and playing Golf, this has to be the best explanation of how to know/understand and be consistent. cheers
Glad it helped Steven.
Apparently I had became a good golfer with a baby flip.
THIS VIDEO HAS FLIPPED MY BRAIN.
NOW MY MIND IS JUST MAKING SURE TO KEEP MY LAG UNTIL IM ON TOP OF THE BALL . THEN I THINK STRAIGHTER ARMS THROUGH AND AFTER IMPACT WHILE SWINGING MORE LEFT THEN IM USED TO AT IMPACT.
INSTEAD OF GENERATING ALL THE SPEED AT THE GOLF I'M NOW GENERATING SPEED THROUGH THE BALL . WOW THIS IS AMAZING STUFF.
THANK YOU !!!!!!
Glad you got something from it Joey.
The video shows the correct impact position. It's the first time I've ever seen it illustrated. Thank you, if people will just think about this position for a minute maybe they'll realize it's the only "true" way to strike a golf ball.
I coach baseball but I'm also an avid golfer. It is amazing to me how many similarities there are between the golf swing and batting. Casting is a major issue for lower-level hitters for the same reasons. They try to use their wrists, hands and arms to generate power early in the swing to hit hard instead of maintaining lag, exerting force and unhinging the wrists at the moment of impact. This results in casting and dragging the bat through the hitting zone. Thanks for the detailed explanations.
Glad it helped. You're right there are a lot of similarities
BRILLIANT!!! I have been learning golf on my own for more than a year. Recently I told my peers that for all clubs I don't have a different swing for them. Just the position of the ball and the point of impact. I learnt it through the hard way. But thanks to you video it makes more sense and knowing I am doing the right thing. Thanks alot :)
Good stuff
Best golf instruction I have had. So easy to understand. Been playing for years and been doing things wrong for years 😂
Excellent presentation, clear, concise and easy to understand. Thank you.

Wow. After watching this video, I had an "ah ha" moment on the range this weekend. Instantly more yardage and lower dispersion. I can't believe this video is free. Thank you for the high quality content.
Good luck Yen, do the split handle grip drill and your body will start to feel the movement needed to deliver a forward handle position at impact.
@@Dstgolf Just watched that video and will include it into my warm up! A couple things I noticed when I started hitting the ball cleaner after watching your video:
- I'm applying this to everything in my bag and it has increased my confidence over the ball
- Shaft in line with my lead arm at address helped my take away tremendously
- My clubs are old, so it seems as though equipment isn't really a factor to good ball striking. I think most of us know this, but don't want to admit it.
This is wordy, but one last thing. The delivery in your videos is excellent. Information is concise yet easy to understand. Some people can hit the ball well, yet can't explain why. You do it wonderfully. Now, where can I buy a DST Golf hat??
@@yenkhew7024 Thanks Yen, I am delighted that you have benefitted from the video. Sadly the hats are for staff only. Keep us updated on your progress and please share the vid.
This is the best youtube video I have seen ( and I have seen a lot), we will develop our golf training app around this concept. I have been thinking about building the swing around the correct impact position for a while, you have now paid it out beautifully. www.ultimatecaddy.net

Thanks Mike. Glad you got something out of it.
Wow I thought I’d seen it all in my 60 yrs of playing golf! This video blew my mind. What an excellent presentation of the proper golf swing! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve been using clubs with the DST Impact Line in my golf school in Southern Germany for over a year and the results have been incredible. It’s amazing to see the improvement in golfers when they understand what they are trying to do at impact.
Holy crap!! I've been wondering why the thumb on my glove keeps wearing out so quickly and you just showed me exactly why and how it's been happening.
I was looking at a video of Fred Couples and think I noticed that his right thumb and forefinger were off the club after impact.
Wow.. amazing how they're all the same at impact, despite being so different during the swing. Great post, really helpful thanks .
Glad you enjoyed it

I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but this is probably the best golf video I've ever watched. So many things clicked in my brain while watching it! This explained the why behind so many "tips" I've heard before but didn't understand why coaches would say to do them. So now I can understand them in the proper context and what they're actually meant to correct in the golf swing. Thank you for making such a great video!
Thanks for commenting Vance.
I totally agree with you. This video makes me understand clearly of the instructors. Good job.!
This video is outstanding. You just encapsulated everything I’ve learned over the past 2 years with my swing coach, along with the countless videos I’ve watched.
Thanks for commenting Jason.
Excellent presentation! Very clear, scientific explanation of obtaining /achieving accuracy thru optimal impact! Great job! Thank you very much for this great work! Now, I will try to apply it in my practice, then my game! I feel hopeful that I will have a mory with better rescores
This is my main mistake in golf and I've been trying what you said and it's working better than I could ever have imagined thanks so much 👍

Probably the best description of what we all want to achieve I've ever seen or read in forty years of devouring information on the infuriating game. Your drills are superb also. Thanks so much. Now to focus on swing incorporation whilst the old body still allows. Lag, lag, I need more lag....
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best and crisp explanations of impact position and why. I am an early extender and relate to the not so good side of this video. Challenge has been how to break out of it. Knowing the concepts definitely helps. Just need to get the mind to control the body (and not arms). With Gratitude.
Keep you're eyes peeled for our PROJECT: "Back on the Fairway" The first video was published just before Christmas, the follow up is going to be published tomorrow.

Fantastic video! Whenever my ball striking goes off I practice my impact position which i learned from other dst videos, something I've only heard Faldo talk about too. Instant recipe for crisp iron shots. Thank you so much for sharing your findings. Too many golfers sweat over their baskswing instead of leaning what impact should feel like. 👍👍👍

Amazing instructional video. Lots of golf science and a lot “wow, 💡 “ moments. Definitely worth watching a few times.
Thanks for your comment.
As an X PGA Pro now about to turn 70, I can say this is the best instruction video on impact I have ever seen. Its helped me remember what is important even though my body is not what is was, but this is a movement that is easier than my usual movement, so its good for all. Many Thanks Gerry K.
What a lovely comment! Many thanks Gerry, that's high praise indeed. I'm delighted you enjoyed it, and you're spot on it's a movement and position that is not as demanding as many would believe.

Awesome video! I'm a single-digit handicap that is self-taught and have viewed many, many videos. This may be the best one ever. Thanks for the effort and for sharing with everyone!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I spent the weekend studying these concepts after a bad round and knowing impact position was my problem. I went to the range yesterday and applied these concepts to my swing and it works. I’m excited to keep working on it this week and getting dialed in. Presetting at address was a big key for me similar to Rory’s setup. Also the Nicklaus quote about presetting at address just made so much sense to me, it eliminates so many things that cause flipping and a poor swing plane. Thank you.
Get some practice balls like the whiffe or foam ones and practice with them. Go slow to get the feel of the key points and slowly work up to full speed. Then go out to the range. It's much cheaper to do this. Especially since the practice balls will really spin and show you where/how you hit the ball.
Absolutely. When this lightbulb went off for me, setting my hands uncomfortably forward was the key until I grew comfortable with it. It changed my ball striking for good.
How are there only 7.1K likes? This is brilliant, clear and thorough. So much better than getting a swing tip from a random pro or youtuber. Thanks.

I actually tried to hold the lag in my swing for the first time yesterday and felt like I stumbled upon what felt like a tour swing. Little did I know that latter that day I would watch this video which fully explains how I hit my 9 iron (normally 140 yards) 150 yards carry distance. The focus on holding lag with torso rotation/creating the optimal impact/handle position also works best with the clock system for knowing partial wedge distances when I experimented it. The only shots that pros explain having the shaft vertical at impact are flops/high spinning shots. Wonderful video and a must share with my golf buddies.
Great to hear it helped Paul. Please share the video.
Really a tour swing?
@@roykim4413 You right...what felt like a tour swing in my mind.
@@roykim4413 there...fixed it.
@@Leepfall Ah man, now I feel bad. I need to try this. I kinda understand the concept but I am too old and my body can’t do all my mind wants. I use to be 6.4 handy and now I shoot 18.
One of the best golf videos I have ever seen.
A couple of concepts definitely clarified the way a golf swing works which meant an almost immediate improvement in my own swing.
A must see.
Great to hear you're having success with your game. Keep us in the loop with progress.

The best information on how to naturally swing a golf ball towards a target repeatedly and consistently. What a breakthrough for all golfers. Bravo & Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Please excuse the openly blunt nature of my enthusiasm about this video, but holy SH*T did this improve my consistency in predictably straight shots as well as produce consistently accurate range estimates on every club in my bag!! Here is the part that I found to be absolutely fascinating AND fantastic. By not focusing on my swing per se and focusing more on the strike position and keeping that lag angle behind my wrists, my swing naturally adjusted to keep that long steady stroke through the ball. It was an odd but AWESOME feeling that produced incredibly solid ball contact that was straight as an arrow. After a number of conscious efforts to keep this strike position I realized I was not inputting as much effort and suddenly it really started feeling natural inside of one damn bucket of balls. Was it repeatable the next day? From the first easy swings to the rest of the bucket through the clubs I was thoroughly impressed with myself. What an amazing difference it is between just hitting the ball with a decent swing and actually feeling that your controlling the face to hit the ball. Yes, there is a VERY big difference!!! SO cool!!😎
I don’t know how to thank you for this. Seriously. I am a complete geek when it comes to mechanical concepts be laid out in detail and when you belted out kinematics I broke out the popcorn 🍿🤓🍿. Everything stated here made absolute logical sense and I was easily able to put those concepts into motion. The mental picture along with the feeling of the proper mechanics at work just shoved my swing into place and it just felt right. That was a SERIOUSLY cool feeling. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Scott, I am delighted you have developed a new movement pattern that helps you strike the ball better and more consistently. Stick with it the future's bright!
@@Dstgolf, again a big thanks. What’s great is that it didn’t take long for it to feel completely natural in my swing. The BEST part is that I now feel confidently in control of the general direction of my shot. I’ve never really had that stronger level of confidence and that is a game changer for sure. Love it!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I never knew to fully extend after the ball but it makes complete sense in terms of the clubface naturally wanting to close. I always put my max effort into the impact of the ball rather than past it. I noticed a huge difference after hitting into my net and swing caddie. I can't wait to try this outside, thank you!
Good luck Nha!
Excellent explanation of proper impact position. My 15-year old is struggling with this and I showed him some parts of the video and he had an aha moment. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Simply the best: science based, graphical and logical. Basic knowledge but missed by most people
Thanks!
Brilliant video and the DST technology has helped me no end. I started with the bent wedge which ensures your hands are ahead of the ball at impact and progressed onto having the DST Impact lines lazered onto my Mizuno's 2 years ago. My handicap is down to 9.6 from 22 in this time. I have always been self taught so had no lessons, the DST impact lines just remind me to get my hands in the right place at impact and thus my ball striking has improved hugely. I personally believe that this one factor has had a massive impact on my golf game.
Thanks for your comment, I'm delighted to hear that the Impact Line has played a contributing part in your improvement. That's fantastic progress in a short space of time, keep it going and have fun!

Probably the best golf video on the internet! Thanks for making this n posting it ! 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏼
Thanks for your comment Deepali.
Mind blown. I want to say this is too much information, however, starting at the finish and reverse engineering the swing is a really smart way to sort out body position. Beyond impressed with this video. Thank you, Bertie.
Glad you found it! Stick with it and good luck with your game.
Thankyou Mr. Cordle, what an eye opening analysis!
Thanks Alan. Keep an eye out for the drills video, which should be coming out soon.

Since I've started to practice with the DST my shot making has definitely improved. its helped me to learn a much better setup position, posture and stance width especially. The rub of the proverbial green is basically my peers are being negative about practicing with it. For whatever reason. I haven't unfortunately been able to play a couple of times a week to take better advantage of it. I know how much this has helped regardless of opinions. All I can say is, give it an honest attempt!
Jon, Tell your peers that Jon Rahm practices with both the wedge and 8 iron on a daily basis and has done since he turned pro in 2016 at Royal Troon.
It may be that the challenge is too overwhelming because the pros are so good at it and if tried it would make them feel inferior or not as good a ball striker as they might think they are. Sad.
Thank you for sharing✌️. This was truly a 'scientific', accurate to present the golf swing. For me to show the point were leading hand in down swing should be fully extended, was eye widening key info. Highly appreciated 👍
Absolutely
I’m a lefty and it’s hard for me to find a golf coach in my neighborhood . Literally learn how to swing by watching this video. Thanks 🎉
Right on!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EXAMPLE OF HOW TO SWING A GOLF CLUB EVER!!!!!!!!

@@Dstgolf Hi Bertie, I already watched it. Drew the impact line on my 7 iron (on the TM set) and will give it a try next week (season starts the 1st of April, first tournament is the 17th); will hit the range first as I got 2 sets (one TM, one XXIO) and need to get the "feel" for both sets. I found out that I am now a 25.6 WHS (after the club and federation decided to adopt the world hcp system). Will see how this season goes, I hope to go below 15... :). I already started recommending DST Golf to my buddies.
Main lever is key. Once I understood this I no longer think about my right hand at impact. Game changer. I maintain spine angle and balance while making great contact. Thanks for deep dive into this subject!
Glad it helped, keep it going.
Just a fantastic golf instruction video. Even from a video production POV--lighting, sound, B roll. Excellent job all the way around. Bookmarkable.
Thanks Michael it's lovely to hear comments like yours. I'm glad the content is hitting the mark. Let's hope we can help golfers become better and enjoy their games more.

I've watched a few of your videos and tried to feel the impact position on the range in about 4 sessions using the split hand drill and more pressure to the left in the downswing. It seems to work! I played the first 9 holes of the year after and didn't hit a single pull. This is coming from somebody who routinely hits 30 yard yanks left especially with the shorter irons. I just wanted to say thank you!!
Keep it up
Wow, this was a great deep dive explanation into the physics and rotational kinematics of a golf swing.
Thank you for going into such depth on all of the components of the lever arm and their importance, I know have a greater understanding of what is happening with my swing, why it's wrong, and how to fix it, theoretically lol.
It occurred to me about half way in that the golf swing is actually more like an inverted trebuchet than a straight arc as I had imagined.
Thank you again for taking the time to explain this in such depth!!

I disagree. I believe the golfing machine is easily the greatest contribution to golf instruction.
I play ice hockey and so many of these concepts also apply to hockey shots.
There are so many comparisons!

This is the best description of the golf swing I've ever seen or heard. I'm pretty certain that the concept and feeling of 'lag pressure' is exactly what most amateurs are missing. It's absolutely life changing.
Thanks glad it was helpful.
Okay....... WOW, is all I have to say. I’ve been a student of this game for 43 years. This video is amazing. I’ve heard this messages delivered dozens of times, but getting out of those bad habits ( early extension has been my nemesis) and learning to TRUST the correct movements has been my biggest challenge. BUT, when I do, and putting and the short game are relatively consistent, the scores are always in the 70’s. Im studying, AGAIN, Homer Kelly’s , The Golf Machine. Thanks for the great analysis of the golf swing.

At first I thought this video was going to be very technical and complex. However, I watched it all and really learned from it, especially the need to continue rotation and the lead shoulder moving upwards to create space for the club and thus prevent the swing arc bottoming out too early - Excellent !

This does an excellent job of explaining the theory of the acceleration through impact with the hands leading, weight shift, clearing the hips and left shoulder, etc. And open golfers understand the impact position is different from the setup position, which I did not realize for several years. You could do with fewer words and a lot more demonstrations and drills to FEEL the proper impact angle .
Thanks for your feedback. glad you got something from the video.
