I have the same issues of sliding into the ball. Been working on it at Butch Harmon School of Golf by trying to feel pure rotation with my hips through the ball rather than leaning into shots.
Hi Dana, I’m a HitBombs subscriber and a longtime fan of your teachings. I notice you advised him to let his right arm relax and bend. You always hear the axiom not to let the right arm bend past 90 degrees at the top. In your opinion is an overly bent right arm okay for most people or more acceptable than a straighter right arm that’s too far behind you?
If Dana approves the backswing it ends up as a good shot. When Dana doesn’t it ends up being not a good shot. And I still can’t noticed a difference hence my own swing problems
Should the transition from the backswing to the forward swing be a continuous motion feeling the club fall behind you as the trail elbow comes in front of the hip?
Dana - does the left arm get pulled down into impact by hips and chest rotating counterclockwise? What I'm asking is does the lead arm ever swing and initiate action on its own in the downswing - or is it passive, being pulled along for the ride by the body?
Good question. Actually The structure that you create at the top of the backswing Weatherby with the arms wrist trail shoulder or scapula influence what the arms are going to do through the transition that’s affecting position six when the club is parallel to the ground. To be fair the arm coming off the chest is more of a reaction of the alignment earlier in the system and a reaction to vertical force from the ground particularly underneath the lead foot. The way I like to look at things is if you have to actively do anything with your hands or arms through transition or anything later than that you’re actually robbing a large amount of power in the golf swing. Obviously this is my personal opinion but I have some anecdotal evidence to support that claim being that I deal with quite a few long drive people. And most of my mini tour guys swing very very fast more than tour average. In any event hopefully that explains my non-expert opinion on things
@@ddahlquist Thanks. I would love to see you do a video on this. Most amateurs like me power their downswing using the lead left shoulder and hand flip. I have started working on a torso-rotation powered downswing with passive arms/hands and its so different that I feel like I'm learning a whole new sport.
Just about everything at some point. Keep updating and changing all the time. Don’t get dogmatic as much as possible either. Manage my ego best as I can too.
A lot of great knowledge about a golf swing -thank you that it is published.

Dana nice session, have you considered wearing a mic? I lose audio when you step in front of the camera. Thanks for posting.
Can your trail arm be to soft ? I have a tendency to bend mine at p2 more than most .
He looks like dj doing that
As a golf instructor, please tell us one thing you have been dead wrong about in golf instruction and realized it later

This is great
