After I watched Danny's video with Pete, I went to the range a few times and focused solely on right side/arm movement and its changed my swing dramatically. For anyone struggling with poor contact/power, please give this method a go. Don't forget, weight forward. Lead arm straight.
The Pete Cowen and Danny lesson video was like a graduate level professor teaching an advanced masters level prof. I watched it, got something out of it, but not enough. Danny's video reiterated Pete's instructional gems,and restated them in a way the rank and file golfer could understand and learn more from. Your video has taken Cack handed part and given it even more relevance and applicability for us "average golfers". I've been trying this, and there is no doubt that the Cack (sp?) handed grip and mini swings are giving me a feel I've not had before, and I like it!
Tried this drill today and had instant success! I don't know how it works but it does. I will use this on all practice swings from now on. ThankYou!!!!
Add me to the list of players who went to the range and worked on this after watching Peter and Danny work on this concept.. After a while I also delayed my shoulders and got a beautiful lag in the club head. I can now either pull the club with my left arm or alternate with my strong right arm. I'm beginning to like to deliver the strong right arm more onto the actual hit of the golf ball. I don't think it matters much which dominates, sometimes I allow both to equally hit the ball. The point is it works and it's very strong. I'm back to hitting my 9 iron over 125 yds. with crappy range balls and spot on target. At my age 72 this is back to being fun. I can now start adding power and maybe get my PW to 125, who knows. I added you to my subscription list and will come back to see how you progress. I think you are enjoying this as much as I am.
I have just started playing golf after a 30 year gap and have struggled for most of the year trying to find out where my backswing should be. This simple exercise sorts every thing for me, it has improved the consistency of strike and has increased the distance I am achieving.
Like the way you have given credit for this terrific tip, been doing it since Danny Maude had his lesson then put his slant on it. Look forward to your take on it part 2 and 3.
I work on a flat left wrist, bent back right wrist in my swing and using this reverse grip Andy is a good way to keep it ingrained. I highly recommend the use of this drill!
I really liked this video of Danny's - made a lot of sense to me, and it helps foster that feeling of connectedness with the upper arms & chest. Loving the videos, really good seeing a 'normal' golfer putting these tips into practice 👍🏻
I've watched Danny Maude for years, and really enjoyed his "feel oriented swing". This is a huge change for him in that it's become very much a "position oriented swing". My opinion is that as soon as you focus on a position, you lose any fluidity of motion. I've tried getting into specific positions and all they do is make me think of the position rather than the target...miss out on any point of the position and it messes up your mind and swing.
Great point! You don’t want to play golf swing while you’re playing golf. But this drill is meant to be done in a practice environment and/or at home away from a golf ball. All so that it’s more natural while you’re playing.
Danny, Only one word to describe this lesson, BRILLIANT INSTRUCTION , like throwing a pebble across water to make it skim across the surface. Patrick Wood , Beau Desert GC
As I “Follow “ Danny M. I watched the video you refer to and have also discovered how important this position in the back swing. The drill is very helpful. Thanks for sharing as it confirms my own thoughts.
This is the number one key in setting up impact -> what the trailing arm is doing. This is one of the best drills to teach that trailing arm position. Awesome video on this very important aspect of the golf swing. It also gives you that feeling of sinking your trailing hip and buttock to the imaginary wall behind you.
This helps me for a different reason : I have a lot of pain from Ulnar Impaction Syndrome ( UIS )in my left wrist with no cartilage left in the carpals and this shows me the support I need from the right arm in the backswing , so I focus on a right forearm takeaway with the left feeling like it’s just along for the ride ! Thanks , John ps. Also hitting balls with the split grip , hockey stick drill is a good one , if you can hit it solid with the driver every time , you’ve got it !
I watched the Original teaching video and went to the range after. I’ve never hit balls consistently straighter ever. It’s still a work in progress and trying to use the same principle for my driver. But I must say the cack handed swing has made a Hughes difference already
I agree that was the greatest lesson I ever seen when Pete demonstrated to Danny how to do the drill cross handed . it’s unbelievable how fast it becomes a immediate impact on your golf swing 100% improvement. Thank you so much.
Looking forward to trying this. As a left hander playing righty but putting and occasional chipper crack handed, I know when chipping the strike is superior, that’s why Matt F does it.
Omg.tried this today for 9 holes.20mins in the nets before i played.3 cack handed practice swings before each shot.shot 2 over gross playing off 10.thats 3 under handicap.brilliant. Thanks Andy& Danny👍👍👍
I quite liked this video. It focuses on what Pete has preached of the "spiral staircase", but more importantly, Pete always talks about putting the club in the right position for delivery. This move must be groove or memorized by your muscles as it put the club in the right position for gravity to assist you in the down swing causing an effortless swing, very efficient! I also liked your emphasis of the coil, "left knee over the left foot and bottom of spine pointing at left heel" Can't wait for your next discussion on this Pete Cowen lesson as it was the most "aha" moment I have had for gold instruction. That is maintaining the right wrist bend through the strike!. It takes the flicking, hand domination out of the swing and brings in the importance of turning to the left to maintain pressure on the ball. Thanks for taking this one step at a time though, excellent job. I liked it so much, I just subscribed to your channel!
Interesting. The position of the right elbow and forearm is critical. Just one thing, if you begin to apply this there is a possibility that you will come through with the face a bit open and while you may get good contact, you will hit high and right. It takes some checking of the position of the face and possibly a slight correction to close the face just a bit at address or making sure that on the downswing once the shaft reaches horizontal if you stop it there and look, the face should be slightly closed, not straight up or open.
I really like to watch you an Danny great tips an things to practice , however I used to play with a guy that actually played this way all the time , an struck the ball solid lots of the time man his flight was great as well thanks for the video.
I watched the Danny video a few days ago before seeing this. Thanks for the reminder. I’m also curious where the course is? Is it Betws Y Coed ? Llangollen maybe ?
I've started having the"feeling" of dragging my arms from the top. Hands stop at shoulders in backswing. Do a video that explains this or am i nuts. This has helped me.
Andy, I had watched Danny's video and found it helpful for the most part, but as he layered on the subsequent parts from his Pete Cowan lesson, I found myself trying too hard to digest the whole thing. I think that you're breaking it down and leaving it at Part 1, might help avoid having my mind embracing too many swing thoughts at one time. Thanks.
I got to play golf with this guy who had the weirdest hand position, but man, he absolutely crushed the ball all day long! Turns out, he used to play hurling in Ireland. It looked so awkward, but hey, the results spoke for themselves!
Great tip Andy I will give it a go as part of a pre shot routine hopefully it will reduce my tendency to swing on a flat plane ,looking forward to part b tomorrow . I have enjoyed watching your series so far ,on the tips from the pros you make it much easier to absorb the information and put into practice thanks
I am finding it a difficult change but working on it, not a simple fix but my swing is far more on plane when I het it right. Thanks for the words on the channel, I am hoping it helps 👍
What bothers me about this is it looks like you can't complete a _full_ backswing using this method. I like getting my shaft, when completing a full backswing, to _parallel._ I find its the best way to generate club head/ball speed, good compression and ultimately, distance. Looks like you're doing almost a 3/4 swing. Who wants that?

Pure gold at 3:40! I had the same takeaway. I didn’t appreciate exactly what it is supposed to feel like. This drill really drives this point home.
I started using this drill too after watching Danny Maude's lesson with Peter Cowan, its definitely helping

Love these 'test the tips' videos - great thinking to set these up. This tip looks useful, i will def give it a go. Thanks & keep them coming!

Danny is one of my go to coaching sites, and your doing a great job Andy putting these tips across so simple👍
Keep up the good work👏👏👏
Thanks for your feedback Richard, it’s nice to know I am making some sense!
I did catch the original video but it seemed a lot to take in in one go but this is much more simplified to follow thanks👍
Omg.tried this today for 9 holes.20mins in the nets before i played.3 cack handed practice swings before each shot.shot 2 over gross playing off 10.thats 3 under handicap.brilliant.
Thanks Andy& Danny👍👍👍
Wow that’s incredible, I’m really pleased it helped
Just maybe the greatest single tip ever. Helps get the body more involved for sure. Do you think this one works with woods and rescues as well?
Absolute game changer, getting my hands in the exact spot as I make my turn through my body. Everyone should try it.
Nice to get some feedback John

That’s good to read as it was my thoughts 👍 Part 2 out on Friday
A great tip , thanks for sharing your knowledge.⛳️

Thanks Guv'! Much more information would have me lost and back in the trees 🌳
So that reverse hand position will ensure we are in the correct position at the top of the backswing without fail? I will give it a go.
I'm subscribing just cause my man has some unreal style out on the course!
Well articulated tip video and I'm excited to try it myself.
Absolutely love your practice fairway!!
Great to add on tips
Thanks. Well presented and yes it works!
Thanks

Patrick Welch plays golf at a very high level at the University of Oklahoma with a cross grip.
I’m going to try it
Thanks Andy! I’ll give this a whirl. Curious to see what happens.
Good luck, not easy but worth persevering
I'm starting a new channel: Testing the tips from the tip testors!
Great idea, where do I sub 👍
Love the channel!
Is this the guy from the ats/ets videos?
Does this apply to all clubs including the driver?
Yes but obviously different ball position for driver
I see a lot of training aids in my Facebook feed. Any plans on testing some of the most popular?
Not as yet, would cost me a fortune 🤣
I like watching Pete Cowan.

Your back swing is too flat, that's why you're blocking it right.
ur just releasing the wrist angles a little early tho
Absolutely it’s a long way from perfect, I wouldn’t expect immediate success
Looks like you've lost one of your car driving gloves there !!!!!!
Worlds #1?? I thought that was you!! Who knew
I saw this video, and his follow up, but couldn't make it work at the the range, oh well :)
I agree it is a tough one to adopt, but not always gonna work for everyone, worth a try 👍
He farted in his backswing
Would have preferred to see those shots of the floor not tee .don’t get that luxury on course
I am pretty sure most golfers use a tee on the golf course 🤣🤷♂️
Golf lessons are figurative not literal.
How do you justify calling yourself the Worlds #1 Golf Coach??
He wasn't talking about himself...
Just buy the prosendr
