Super common to find great golfers trying to make money teaching others. Extremely uncommon to find a great golfer who is just as great at explaining how to get there. Awesome video
Ok, I know I am late to the game here but….. just saw this video and I think it is worth re-posting as a newer video. This one video was like magic. Of course I was one of those that thought rotation meant turning. This has fixed my swing and downswing plane. I videoed my swing prior and afterwards. No comparison. I am on plane. When I used a launch monitor, I am about 40% more accurate that I was. THANK YOU DANNY!!!!
I had seen all kinds of videos about weight shifting trying to figure out how to do it right, but Danny's simple demo of the "straight line" rotation around his spine/hips was the thing that finally clicked for me. I love the way he explains things in all his videos. I wish I could take lessons with this guy!
Danny, I started playing golf 50 years ago as a 14 yo. I was playing some good golf during 1990's when playing regularly and off a handicap of 14. Had a number of time-offs from golf since early 2003 ... never recovered. Played 5 rounds late last year and struggled badly. So bad, I decided to start from scratch. Found your video on the stance and addressing the ball. I practiced that it made sense. I then went looking for your videos on the next steps. Went outside in the backyard and practiced the next steps. After 4 weeks of no golf, just learning & practicing I went out for 2 rounds at my old club. Guess what no more slicing, irons straighter and longer, driver finding fairways more consistently. Yes, old habits creep back, but I knew what went wrong. Still more work to do, but the sense of confidence in playing shots is uplifting. Thank you for your solid, simple teaching.
I was on the driving range, struggling with shot consistency on all of my clubs. I suspected the problem was in my hip rotation because I didn't have a set rule aside from trying to move the hips first on the downswing. I watched this video, picked up the pitching wedge, "stepped on the accelerator," as the video teaches, and hit 7/7 straight down the middle to 60 meters every time. Picked up the 5 iron, 3 wood, 7 iron, and the driver and saw nearly the same dramatic improvement in consistency with every one. This may be the most effective golf drill video I've ever watched! Thanks for posting!
Danny, after fifty five years playing golf this video has improved my ball striking more than any other advice or golf lessons I have ever had in the past, thank you so much Danny and if you have any more gems like this I might consider going on the tour!!!!! lol
Danny Maude Here ! Just read an article by GOLF AI , not going to type his name , he recommended one of your you tube videos about a hardware screw below the hips , I’ll watch that one later , just wanted to say , as a long time upper body mover who developed the classic flat shoulder turner, head moving off the ball / left wrist pivoting around the right wrist , loading into the right pivot point ( Ledbetter ) , golfer, I find this video most informative ! Straight - line turn of my right just changed everything in an instant ! Retired Teaching Professional , so I know ! Thanks, John ps. It’s the hips that turn the shoulders and correctly, no need to think about that anymore !
I usually don’t write comments but this really changed everything in my game. Before I was doing a lot of weight shifting from side to side wish meant inconsistency or not even a shot in the air. I tried this yesterday and I did the best shots I have ever done as well as the length of the shots. So big thanks Danny!
Hi Danny, hope you and your family are keeping well. I was a member at Canterbury G.C for a couple of years 2015-17 and had a few lessons with you. I am now back semi-retired in sunny Belfast waiting for golf to start up again at my new club Dunmurry G.C. After trawling the internet for golf videos to help my game improve, including watching hour and two hour videos from the greats such as Seve and Jack Nicklaus, I restarted watching your you tube videos again. I can honestly say they are so engaging and helpful delivered in a very straight forwarded manner. I find the individual drills very helpful and easy to follow. Now that I have settled on your tips to improve my game I relish the challenge of getting back on the course as a senior member and get my handicap down. Many thanks again Danny I think it’s that straight talking, no nonsense Yorkshire approach which appeals so much. Take care, Brendan.
For me, this is a golf swing epiphany. I have worked so hard on my swing over thirty years with many top notch instructors, one a perennial top five rank in the nation. I’ve gotten it down to trying to finish low and left like Mr Hogan. This concept not only has put all of the bits and pieces together, but also now that I am not trying to TURN so hard I am finishing lower and more around. Breaking old habits will take a little time but I am so elated. Thank you, Danny!
I've never commented on any of the thousands of instructional videos I've watched over the last 4 years... because they never worked! I wish I would have found this one first... this one swing thought has improved my game 1,000 percent overnight!! Thanks for the lesson!!!
Brilliant... my mind gets so cluttered with all the mechanics that I can rarely put them all together for consistent shots. This approach seems simple and causes everything else to just fall into place... seriously, how can anyone give a 'thumbs down' to this?
@@DanielMaude sure enough. Hit a small bucket thinking about this principle and then shot best index of my life 6 hours after I watched this video. Unbelievable
Danny I’ve just returned to golf after a 10 year gap...I always swayed from side to side with little to no power...this video is an absolute game changer for me. I’m now hitting the ball better than I ever did...thank you
You're the best channel around for swing drills and tips. You go into detail and explain the theory behind it without sounding patronising - great video!
I’ve been playing golf for 30 plus years and got as low as 5.6 last year. Loads of swing thoughts have crept into my game of late trying to get better which has seen a drastic turn for the worst in my game. Watching your videos has really simplified everything again and reduced the number of thoughts in my head whilst swinging and just concentrating on feel. These videos are a must watch
I'm a pretty beginner golfer. Shot a 102 earlier this week, watched some of your videos then shot a 96. Then after watching THIS video, I went up to the range and everything felt soo much better. This is the best golf advice on the internet for guys like me just starting and not wanting to start with bad habits. Thank you!
I watched this video yesterday lunchtime and was practicing the hip movements. Played golf in the evening and shot 74 (+4). My lowest score for over 3 years. I currently play off 11. The change was amazing and I got so much more power and accuracy on my shots. A revolation for me! Thank you!
This video is fantastic. Such an easy drill. Got right up and went to the back yard with my lob wedge and aimed at the same bucket I always aim at. Out of 3 balls, one went in and the other two hit the bucket. Immediate improvement in my swing. I was experimenting with everything possible before this, ball position, grip, shoulder turn, staying down, etc. This one change made everything else moot. Love it and thank you.
Why is it, in the history of youtube and all the lessons I have every taken, nobody has ever explained to me that it is a straight line motion? I mean look, I play a lot of golf and practice 3-4 times a week. I get my clubs fitted to me and I take regular lessons. I have the "good player miss" which we know is a hook caused by sliding. I am told not to slide, but I can never figure out why I am sliding or how to stop it. In 10m you explained to me how rotation really works and now, no more sliding (at least when i don't get lazy). Pure gold, well done, I am sharing this we people I don't play money games against :P
I have to say, I stopped playing a few years ago and just started again. I took a few lessons but couldn’t get my swing back. I happened upon your channel and watched a few of your videos. Suddenly everything clicked. Your way of explaining things makes perfect sense to me. I was supposed to play 18 today but we were rained out so I went to the range and played a par 3. My ball striking was better than ever. I got more from a couple of your videos than all the lessons combined. Thank you. You made golf fun again.
I am having the same problem, unfortunately, the golf season is almost ended here in the north. Will keep working on the exercises from Danny and hoping to see some positive results in the Spring.
I watch the videos but don’t seem to carry info onto the golf course. Finally asked my wife to video me playing on the course. It was a slow day on a mountain course so, no delaying others. She took about about 12 to 15 videos . I was shocked and somewhat embarrassed at my execution of basics set up, backswing, and balance and tempo. The next day I played much better, hit straighter, longer, and enjoyed the round so much better. Strongly recommend videos to compare personal improvement!!! Thanks to you and golf professionals in general. Many thanks! Ed
Your an Excellent teacher! Top of my list, I don't even waste my time with anyone else. Who ever knew it was so simple to crush your favorite golf ball?
This is my favorite rotation backswing and forward swing drill with comments on when to put pressure on your toe and heel. I have been practicing this drill over and over and has helped me greatly from not swaying and over rotating my body. Love all your tips. Stay safe and healthy.
You are the best golf coach for all the golfers because you just point out and teach us the most important factors of golf swing in a most simple way and I have been feeling swings much much easier than before . There are countless numbers of golf instructors but they tend to tell us too many thIngs in a time, so many golfers watching thier swIngs are liable to get so confused in the motions. You only tell us the most important and inevitable parts of swings . Today I tried to swing as you told us by pushing down clubs with body turn, my balls became unbelivably great thanks to your instruction. Highly appreciate your teachings Doumo arigatou ! I hope more people should subscribe your youtube vedios. 😊🥰🤗🤗
I love how you simplify things, learning so much here and not clouding my head with too many swing thoughts. Just really great ideas that make so much sense to me now. Thank you Danny, you're a great teacher man!!
Danny, This is the best tip I have seen so far: so simple and it makes total sense. I tried it at my course and immediate better results. My wife told me I watch to much TH-cam but I will stick with your channel. Thanks!
I started playing golf this year and your youtube channel have honestly been like the bible for me ever since I found it. Thanks for all the great tips!
Danny, this video is about 2 years old but just came across my feed. I’ve been struggling with shifting weight, rotating my hips and swaying away from the target. This makes so much sense. Thank you!!!
I’ve had lessons recently where I was told I early extend and don’t rotate my hips. After “fixing” my early extension and getting my hips more active I have frustratingly started hitting the ball really inconsistently with huge slices, the occasional straight pull and regular shanks. This drill has shown me that I’ve been thinking about hip rotation in completely the wrong way - I’ve been focusing on firing my trail hip as fast as possible in the downswing which is causing my shoulders to spin out at the top, whereas the first drill in this video very quickly demonstrates the correct way to rotate the hips. I can’t wait to take this to the range. Thanks Danny!
I have never commented on a video before and thats because I have never learnt anything i had never heard before UNTIL today. I've been away from golf for 3 years, I have always struggled with weight shifting and now I realize it's such a natural movement if you don't constantly tell yourself you need to rotate your hips. Thank you for this video, you deserve an award for this one 👏🏾.
This is by far and away one of the best golf drills ever!!!! Anyone who picks up a golf club should work on this constantly................................. Can't thank you enough Danny. All the best. Stay safe and healthy!!!!!
Thank you that's the advice I've been needing to hear all these years! That's the secret of the Pros. I took your lesson to the driving range and have never hit it that straight consistently. thank you again
Thanks for this great video, Danny...what you have given us here is the key to an effortless golf swing. If you focus on allowing the feet and legs to do the work as you describe here, the hands, arms and club unit will passively whip the club head through impact with little to no effort on your part. This is one of the best videos you have ever done; it is truly the secret to a better golf game... 👍
Just in 3 words, excellent, excellent, excellent advise. What I love from you is the lack of tension during the swing. We always try to kill the ball and it is exactly the opposite. Thank you so much for your support!!!
Danny, I am a 73 year Brit living in the USA who makes his living coaching race car drivers so I am super interested in the teaching side of golf. I started playing when I turned 40 and have played 33 years of inconsistent golf, with my default swing being to "come over the top". I won a super senior tournament a few weeks ago at my home course Wyantenuck in MA USA, both gross and net with an 82 from the middle tees. Then in another recent tournament I had a 109 on the same course! Grr! My friends and I have been following you and practising using your videos as our guide. I can honestly say that the Best Rotation Drill has cured me, as I haven't come over the top once in my last 7 rounds, and that never happens normally, thank you, thank you, I can now sleep at night
As always, brilliant video! Have to admit, I've done all the variations, of the incorrect way, to swing the club. Was a little worried at first, thought you were trying to teach us how to do, "the locomotion", but you brought it home with excellence! :) Thanks for your continual effort in helping us be better at this great past time. Keep the family safe during these crazy times!
Danny, this video was transformational to my game today. The way you demonstrated what the typical slicer’s upper body movement was like was me to a T. The leg movement, inducing rotation, sounded simple and I tried it.... Perfect! Not only did it help me keep my balance on the follow-through to a complete finish but I was striking the ball better than ever... on the fairway... need to sort the greens out now 😂 Managed to get me round in a gross 77 in very strong winds (off 10, par 69). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I think I got it now after studied many great teachers explaining the so called * COIL movement* without really getting ride of my tendency to sway. Thank U so much.
Love this anti-sway drill Danny, focusing on pressure shifting rather than turning, a great way of keeping your swing very centred. Can't wait to try this post lock-down.
wow! my word....wow! This is my expression. I am a beginner and was confused by the "rotation" all this time. Thanks Danny - this is a major "light bulb" moment for me and i find myself much more stable and starting to be more consistent.
This is a game changer for me. Cant wait to get back out there and give it a go. Thank you for such a simple yet powerful explanation - I've been trying to rotate all wrong.
Thanks so much. I am older and have some deficits so I tire easily. Watching and memorizing this video helps me when I am tired to straighten out my sloppiness.
Hi Danny, greetings from Malaysia. All these years of playing I have been having the problem of swaying in my swing trying to "shift my weight" back and through. Having seen your video I realized there is no such thing as "shifting my weight" but instead it should have been applying the correct "pressure" or "force" on the back and front foot in the swing. A few days ago I happened to watch a TH-cam video from Mike Malaska a golf teacher from the US, he said the same thing about this and he quoted what Tiger who told him that the only thought Tiger has during the back swing is to "push his hip as deep as possible". He never once mentioned the need to "rotate" his hips or "shift his weight". Now it all make sense to me. At the moment we are having a MCO (Movement Control Order) here in Malaysia until the 14th of April so golf or any other sports/outdoor activities are not allowed. I guess I just need to wait before trying out your instructions given. Thanks again for this great light bulb moment. Cheers.
Danny! Thank you for sharing this simple but helpful rotation drill! I’ve been struggling with my back & down swings in the past 8 years…. After I watched the video, I begin to use this drill when I golf and am able to hit straight and high with any length of clubs. I really appreciate your lessons! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I've been binging your videos since I came home from the range yesterday. I've had low back/hip issues for years, and find getting a good rotation to be difficult. After this video, I've learned I've been forcing my body to do all the things this video is trying to cure. Actively trying to twist my hips for rotation, probably sliding too lol. My wife is just starting out, and I think her and I will benefit from starting from scratch with our swings. I've never had the same swing twice in 30 yrs of golf. Realizing that less is likely more when it comes to finding a consistent swing. Thanks for all you do!
I started playing golf 20 years ago and naturally swung the club using this method. I got all the way down to a 7 handicap. Then I started reading golf magazine articles about turning the shoulders and turning the hips. Even took some lessons from a golf pro who advocated turning the shoulders and hips in his lessons. I spent several years in the golfing wilderness and my handicap grew to 13. I retired in December 2019 so I have been playing and practicing more. I first saw a video about using the straight line forces from Mike Malaska. Your video confirms what he teaches in that video and what my natural swing is. I have started using this and my handicap has dropped below 10 for the first time in about 10 years. I will never go back to any other swing. Great stuff! Concerning the golf swing, turn and rotate are dirty words in my book!
Hey Danny thanks. I had recently started to whip my right hip through with the feeling of meeting the ball at the same time as my club head. Thought I was getting more power, consistency.. however after 2 longish practice sessions I was left with a very sore right hip. So your talking of ignoring the hips is a very positive idea for a 63 year old golfer.
Danny, this drill helped me immensely. I have been struggling with my iron game - hitting non-stop shanks. I’ve taken lessons and spent hours on the range but nothing was helping. I watched this video last night and applied it at the range right before my round today. I didn’t hit a single shank and actually hit 9 greens in regulation. I am relieved and excited to hone it in at the range this week. Thank you so much!
Danny you are the best. Turning the golf swing into a throwing motion and your rotation drills are so helpful. You need to have a lesson about just the right shoulder for us amateurs. When I watch your fantastic full swings, i noticed that your right shoulder goes back and up around your spine angle, but only goes down on the downswing. The only forward motion is because it is going under your chin. the feeling is almost leaving it at the top. Most of us less than perfect swingers, because we are older and less flexible swing slightly from the top or a lot over the top. When I picked up on this with your swing and throwing motion lessons, I just try to not move my right shoulder at all from the top and that thought naturally moves my shoulder just down and my arms and wrist move beautifully into the slot position. I think you need a lesson about the right shoulder for us not to bright golfers. Once I used this swing thought, ever thing clicked and worked great with all your fantastic lessons. Thank you.
This drill was almost revolutionary for me! With some practice i now understand what i was doing wrong and i have complete confidence in knowing how to fix my swing if it strays away. I have already saved easily 4 strokes per round by practicing this rotation!!! Thank you so much.
First time writing a comment after watching dozens of golf videos. Just tried this on the range and after about 5 minutes of awkward feeling swings (my left leg kept feeling locked on the downswing until I stopped forcing the “move back” so harshly) I had my best range session throughout the bag in a very long time time. So simple and can’t wait to try it on the course. Loved seeing the repeatable ball flight (straight or a little draw). Thank you!
Hey Danny, I love your simple, yet detailed, instruction of everything you teach. I have already seen improvement in my ball striking from your other videos. I am looking forward to testing this one out on the course. Currently practicing this move in my living room without a ball. Just working on the motion.
I think you offer the best advice for senior golfers. Your narratives are excellent. Probably some unwarranted and wanted criticism: Your body movements don't always coincide with the narrative. It does ABSOLUTELY nothing to describe how not to do something. NOT's don't answer questions DO's do. Over all you're the best for my game. Thank you.
Hi Danny, I have been an over the top ball striker for 50 years. Fortunately, with a very strong grip I seldom sliced the ball. Usually hit it straight with a slight curve right at the end of the flight. It's been 8 months since I picked up a club and on Friday hit 60 balls with my driver trying to turn my hips with not much success and very frustrated. Spent the next day searching TH-cam videos on turning the hips. When I viewed this video, your explanation of moving your hips back and forth like you walk and the lateral move forward keeping the left hip lower was a complete revelation. On Sunday, I took my driver to the range again. Before actually hitting a ball, I moved my right hip back and stopped, then shift my hips left and stopped, then swung the club. I would do the same moves again slowly without stopping and without hitting a ball. And then hit a ball swinging at half speed. After 50 balls, I was swinging at maybe 60 to 70 percent speed and hitting the ball at least as far as I did last year with much less effort and slightly left of target with not as strong a grip. Of course I had to make some other adjustments like ball position and tee height but that was just trial and error. Can't wait to see how this effects my iron swing. Thanks so much.
This article was very helpful I’ve been playing golf for many years and had working a lot of bad habits yes this give me something positive to work on thank you very much
Great lesson. I took this downswing move to the golf course last week and it really helped me hit my target consistently. We all want to rush into the ball by sliding instead of getting the right hip to literally get out the way. Thanks Danny and stay safe.
Can’t thank you enough for this! “Accelerator Pedals,” such an incredibly simple feel. I have been struggling for too long with the turns. First a hook, then I correct with a slice. My favorite part, is I won’t be cluttered up mentally with swing thoughts. I will work on this and let you know how it goes.
Heel and toe, heel and toe, no slide, no slide... this is now my favourite song.. and only swing thought. Danny you are a genius! Love the way you teach! Regards from Oz.. hope you guys can get out and play again like we are here😀
I was totally trying to rotate the hips and did not know it really was a weight shift that caused the hips to turn. Thanks so much for this video!!!! I love all your videos!!!
Another good video, never realized this, I will try this immediately, especially how you explained how golfers hook the ball; my nemesis. I am now a senior golfer and have loss some flexibility.
Danny this idea of pushing hips back instead of rotating is truly a revelation. I have seen no one else teach this. I have tried it and it really works in keeping me better centered over the ball. Thank you!
I logged on to TH-cam today looking for tips and instruction on body rotation. Thank you for showing me a better way. I swing better, make better contact, and see the ball better. 🏌I'm enjoying learning how to implement what you explained and demonstrated so clearly.
Brilliant video and thoughts. I’d sort of recently worked this out but you’ve given me the confidence to push ahead with it and some easier thoughts than my muddled mess. Great stuff. Thanks
Cheers Danny, it’s really works find, now my swing is quite consistent. I would say it’s the best and simplest drill on swing~ one more question is: my right knee need keep straight or bend at the top of back swing? (while keeps the weight on heel)
Danny, great lesson, I've enjoyed so many of your videos, all have made improvements to my game but this one made the greatest difference so far! It's amazing how this simple advice corrects years of improper swing mechanics; I've had to club down on all my irons because my distance (and aim) has simply improved so much and so effortlessly! Keep the awesome advice coming!
Holy *#@t! I have been trying to point my left knee behind the ball at the top of the backswing for years, because of some video I saw on TH-cam a long time ago. This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so much!
This may be the best tip I’ve ever heard after 45yrs !! I would struggle getting stuck hitting fat pushes and couldn’t compress the ball bc my hips were trying to turn instead of straight line back! thank you Danny!
Thank you Danny!!! Myself, longtime average golfer, and my daughter and her boyfriend, both newer golfers, all saw instant improvements. We all had more consistent good strikes. They are off to the range to try this more.
Danny, Thanks for all of the great content. I love the way you try to make everyone "feel" what a good swing is for each of us and knowing we will all have different swings. I've had the 'light bulb' moment w/ how you explained the linear movement of the lower body. I have been hitting my irons with much more confidence. Now I look forward to the Par 3 and long approach shots. Keep up the great work!
This drill took so many unnecessary thoughts out of my swing I can't begin to tell you. This is such a simple drill that makes huge improvements. I can not believe I have never seen anyone teach this. I was doing everything you said by thinking I had to rotate and clear my hips and remember to get good shoulder turn and would over turn or under turn one or the other, and now that simple drill eliminated all my crazy hooks and slices. My contact is so consistent and no more standing there going where did that shot come from. I line up and the ball goes where my line is pointed. Hands down for me, and I am sure so many others, this is game changing. Now when I line up at the green I hit the green. I no longer consider the sand on the right or water on the left. My only thought now is, am I playing the right or left side or going straight at the pin. Can't thank you enough.
This drill has helped so much with my losing posture in the backswing and early extension in the downswing .I feel much more centred over the ball and the quality of the ball strike is impressive.
Danny, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am a 4 handicap with a homemade swing. My short game saves me a lot! But ive tried hundreds of hip drills, swing drills etc on TH-cam and haven't had much luck. After I stumbled on this video, I've gained 25 plus yards on my drives. 240-250 to 260-275. (Hopefully increasing more when I get it perfected). Ive been rotating my hips instead of thinking straight line like your video. Such a game changer . My ball flight and impact for irons are incredible now. Best explanation of what the hips are really doing. Sorry but I'm not sharing this with my buddies tho. Gonna make them keep buying me dinner .
Danny, your ability to communicate in simple, understandable terms and demonstrate the motion is incredible! Count me in as a student subscriber, indefinitely!
Your advise has dropped 20 strokes off my game and more importantly made the game enjoyable. Finally a video that doesn't further confuse or compound something simple. Best video, bar none
Super common to find great golfers trying to make money teaching others. Extremely uncommon to find a great golfer who is just as great at explaining how to get there. Awesome video
I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best advice I have seen in golf to date (and that's with me pursuing endless advice for 5 years now).
Ok, I know I am late to the game here but….. just saw this video and I think it is worth re-posting as a newer video. This one video was like magic. Of course I was one of those that thought rotation meant turning. This has fixed my swing and downswing plane. I videoed my swing prior and afterwards. No comparison. I am on plane. When I used a launch monitor, I am about 40% more accurate that I was. THANK YOU DANNY!!!!

I love the way he explains things in all his videos. I wish I could take lessons with this guy!

I was on the driving range, struggling with shot consistency on all of my clubs. I suspected the problem was in my hip rotation because I didn't have a set rule aside from trying to move the hips first on the downswing. I watched this video, picked up the pitching wedge, "stepped on the accelerator," as the video teaches, and hit 7/7 straight down the middle to 60 meters every time. Picked up the 5 iron, 3 wood, 7 iron, and the driver and saw nearly the same dramatic improvement in consistency with every one. This may be the most effective golf drill video I've ever watched!
Thanks for posting!
Donald Dove my pleasure, apologies for missing this feedback
Danny, after fifty five years playing golf this video has improved my ball striking more than any other advice or golf lessons I have ever had in the past, thank you so much Danny and if you have any more gems like this I might consider going on the tour!!!!! lol
Oh Wow! 20 years of frustration cured with one DM video. Everyone who has seen this video should count themselves lucky!
Thats really kind Joe, happy its helped
Clearly the best in the business!!! And so affable!!
ikr?😂
The Holy Grail… finally! Thanks so much for this simple tip Danny ⛳️
I agree....we are blessed to get this golden piece of information...thank you,!
Danny Maude Here ! Just read an article by GOLF AI , not going to type his name , he recommended one of your you tube videos about a hardware screw below the hips , I’ll watch that one later , just wanted to say , as a long time upper body mover who developed the classic flat shoulder turner, head moving off the ball / left wrist pivoting around the right wrist , loading into the right pivot point ( Ledbetter ) , golfer, I find this video most informative ! Straight - line turn of my right just changed everything in an instant ! Retired Teaching Professional , so I know ! Thanks, John ps. It’s the hips that turn the shoulders and correctly, no need to think about that anymore !
I usually don’t write comments but this really changed everything in my game. Before I was doing a lot of weight shifting from side to side wish meant inconsistency or not even a shot in the air. I tried this yesterday and I did the best shots I have ever done as well as the length of the shots. So big thanks Danny!
Amazing to hear Henrick, well done and thanks for sharing your results. Really appreciate it
Why in 30 plus years of playing hasn’t anyone ever taught this b
Same here!!!!!
Hi Danny, hope you and your family are keeping well. I was a member at Canterbury G.C for a couple of years 2015-17 and had a few lessons with you. I am now back semi-retired in sunny Belfast waiting for golf to start up again at my new club Dunmurry G.C.
After trawling the internet for golf videos to help my game improve, including watching hour and two hour videos from the greats such as Seve and Jack Nicklaus, I restarted watching your you tube videos again.
I can honestly say they are so engaging and helpful delivered in a very straight forwarded manner. I find the individual drills very helpful and easy to follow. Now that I have settled on your tips to improve my game I relish the challenge of getting back on the course as a senior member and get my handicap down.
Many thanks again Danny
I think it’s that straight talking, no nonsense Yorkshire approach which appeals so much.
Take care, Brendan.
This is absolutely the best advice I’ve ever seen. Why hasn’t anyone said this before?
Happy to help Jim
EXACTLY!!!!!🙌🏼
Sending EVERYONE to this channel!!!
You have not heard of Mike Malaska is my guess!
I’ve actually heard Tiger describe this exact method as how he “rotates” his hips. Excellent lesson!
@@robzijlstra1277 or Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods lol.
For me, this is a golf swing epiphany. I have worked so hard on my swing over thirty years with many top notch instructors, one a perennial top five rank in the nation. I’ve gotten it down to trying to finish low and left like Mr Hogan. This concept not only has put all of the bits and pieces together, but also now that I am not trying to TURN so hard I am finishing lower and more around. Breaking old habits will take a little time but I am so elated. Thank you, Danny!
Tripp Berry that’s great Tripp, it can feel alien at first when you’ve been actively trying to rotate but once you get this it just makes sense
Danny, this is really completely different from anything I’ve ever heard of! It does appear that your left knee breaks in. Be safe out there.
Are you still using this?
I've never commented on any of the thousands of instructional videos I've watched over the last 4 years... because they never worked! I wish I would have found this one first... this one swing thought has improved my game 1,000 percent overnight!! Thanks for the lesson!!!
That’s wonderful, really pleased for you. Thanks for taking the time to feedback
Brilliant... my mind gets so cluttered with all the mechanics that I can rarely put them all together for consistent shots. This approach seems simple and causes everything else to just fall into place... seriously, how can anyone give a 'thumbs down' to this?
I haven't even practiced this yet and I can already tell it's the best advice I've ever received. Thank you!
Pleasure Mark, all the best
@@DanielMaude sure enough. Hit a small bucket thinking about this principle and then shot best index of my life 6 hours after I watched this video. Unbelievable
Danny I’ve just returned to golf after a 10 year gap...I always swayed from side to side with little to no power...this video is an absolute game changer for me. I’m now hitting the ball better than I ever did...thank you
You're the best channel around for swing drills and tips. You go into detail and explain the theory behind it without sounding patronising - great video!
Marco Loco really kind thank you
I think this is the most valuable info you or anyone else has ever provided in golf instruction Danny. Absolutely game changing !
It’s my pleasure Kenny, really happy to help
I’ve been playing golf for 30 plus years and got as low as 5.6 last year. Loads of swing thoughts have crept into my game of late trying to get better which has seen a drastic turn for the worst in my game. Watching your videos has really simplified everything again and reduced the number of thoughts in my head whilst swinging and just concentrating on feel. These videos are a must watch
I'm a pretty beginner golfer. Shot a 102 earlier this week, watched some of your videos then shot a 96. Then after watching THIS video, I went up to the range and everything felt soo much better. This is the best golf advice on the internet for guys like me just starting and not wanting to start with bad habits. Thank you!
My pleasure Benjamin
I have been golfing since I was 3 years old (I am now 30) and the last time I golfed I shot a 117. I think your doing just fine. Lol.
Can you use this as your swing? I’m knew also. Is this just a drill or you actually played this way?
I watched this video yesterday lunchtime and was practicing the hip movements. Played golf in the evening and shot 74 (+4). My lowest score for over 3 years. I currently play off 11. The change was amazing and I got so much more power and accuracy on my shots. A revolation for me! Thank you!
Amazing, thanks for sharing Dani
This video is fantastic. Such an easy drill. Got right up and went to the back yard with my lob wedge and aimed at the same bucket I always aim at. Out of 3 balls, one went in and the other two hit the bucket. Immediate improvement in my swing. I was experimenting with everything possible before this, ball position, grip, shoulder turn, staying down, etc. This one change made everything else moot. Love it and thank you.
Why is it, in the history of youtube and all the lessons I have every taken, nobody has ever explained to me that it is a straight line motion? I mean look, I play a lot of golf and practice 3-4 times a week. I get my clubs fitted to me and I take regular lessons. I have the "good player miss" which we know is a hook caused by sliding. I am told not to slide, but I can never figure out why I am sliding or how to stop it. In 10m you explained to me how rotation really works and now, no more sliding (at least when i don't get lazy). Pure gold, well done, I am sharing this we people I don't play money games against :P
That’s awesome Tommy, all the best
Danny really can’t thank you enough for this video. It’s transformed my game no end no more slicing or thins just pure ball striking 👍
Thats wonderful to hear, well done
Another awesome video! The way Danny describes it just makes sense to me. You can see how centered he remains throughout the swing. Brilliant.
Stumbled upon this over my cup of coffee today before my round. Immediately improved my ball striking, which had been suffering. Great feel.
Great to hear Phil, thanks for sharing
I have to say, I stopped playing a few years ago and just started again. I took a few lessons but couldn’t get my swing back. I happened upon your channel and watched a few of your videos. Suddenly everything clicked. Your way of explaining things makes perfect sense to me. I was supposed to play 18 today but we were rained out so I went to the range and played a par 3. My ball striking was better than ever. I got more from a couple of your videos than all the lessons combined. Thank you. You made golf fun again.
So good to read John, thanks for taking the time to share
I am having the same problem, unfortunately, the golf season is almost ended here in the north. Will keep working on the exercises from Danny and hoping to see some positive results in the Spring.
I watch the videos but don’t seem to carry info onto the golf course. Finally asked my wife to video me playing on the course. It was a slow day on a mountain course so, no delaying others. She took about about 12 to 15 videos . I was shocked and somewhat embarrassed at my execution of basics set up, backswing, and balance and tempo. The next day I played much better, hit straighter, longer, and enjoyed the round so much better. Strongly recommend videos to compare personal improvement!!! Thanks to you and golf professionals in general. Many thanks!
Ed
Wonderful idea Raymond, thanks for sharing
Your an Excellent teacher! Top of my list, I don't even waste my time with anyone else.
Who ever knew it was so simple to crush your favorite golf ball?
Finally after 15 years playing golf some one speaks about hips movements So thanks so very much for all your videos
My pleasure, happy to help
@@DanielMaude Just got back from the Range. Used this for the first time! OMG, just awesome!
I've been playing golf for a long time. This video gave me an understanding of the rotation/turn that I never had before. Helps a lot.
That’s great Jesse, happy to help
This is my favorite rotation backswing and forward swing drill with comments on when to put pressure on your toe and heel. I have been practicing this drill over and over and has helped me greatly from not swaying and over rotating my body. Love all your tips. Stay safe and healthy.
And you Frank, look after yourself
You are the best golf coach for all the golfers because you just point out and teach us the most important factors of golf swing in a most simple way and I have been feeling swings much much easier than before . There are countless numbers of golf instructors but they tend to tell us too many thIngs in a time, so many golfers watching thier swIngs are liable to get so confused in the motions. You only tell us the most important and inevitable parts of swings . Today I tried to swing as you told us by pushing down clubs with body turn, my balls became unbelivably great thanks to your instruction. Highly appreciate your teachings Doumo arigatou ! I hope more people should subscribe your youtube vedios. 😊🥰🤗🤗
Very kind thank you, really hope you continue your improvement
I love how you simplify things, learning so much here and not clouding my head with too many swing thoughts. Just really great ideas that make so much sense to me now. Thank you Danny, you're a great teacher man!!
Struggling for rotation definition for 2 years , this video cleared everything. You are the best.
Glad it helped!
That is one of the best instruction video's I have ever seen ... thank you Danny
Thats really great to hear thank you, I hope it helps you in this time of isolation. We all have an opportunity to develop our golf swing
@@DanielMaude ìì
Danny, This is the best tip I have seen so far: so simple and it makes total sense. I tried it at my course and immediate better results. My wife told me I watch to much TH-cam but I will stick with your channel. Thanks!
Great to have you here Ed
I started playing golf this year and your youtube channel have honestly been like the bible for me ever since I found it. Thanks for all the great tips!
Thats really great to hear Max, thanks for the feedback
Danny, this video is about 2 years old but just came across my feed. I’ve been struggling with shifting weight, rotating my hips and swaying away from the target. This makes so much sense. Thank you!!!
I’ve had lessons recently where I was told I early extend and don’t rotate my hips. After “fixing” my early extension and getting my hips more active I have frustratingly started hitting the ball really inconsistently with huge slices, the occasional straight pull and regular shanks. This drill has shown me that I’ve been thinking about hip rotation in completely the wrong way - I’ve been focusing on firing my trail hip as fast as possible in the downswing which is causing my shoulders to spin out at the top, whereas the first drill in this video very quickly demonstrates the correct way to rotate the hips. I can’t wait to take this to the range. Thanks Danny!
Love to hear how you get on
I've had the same exact issues that you've outlined here...this is a GREAT drill and completely changed my take on rotation.
I've been through a few golf pro videos and there was a lot of good tips... This is superb! Core training of "what is" not "what looks like"
I have never commented on a video before and thats because I have never learnt anything i had never heard before UNTIL today. I've been away from golf for 3 years, I have always struggled with weight shifting and now I realize it's such a natural movement if you don't constantly tell yourself you need to rotate your hips. Thank you for this video, you deserve an award for this one 👏🏾.
Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback
This is by far and away one of the best golf drills ever!!!! Anyone who picks up a golf club should
work on this constantly................................. Can't thank you enough Danny. All the best. Stay safe and healthy!!!!!
Thank you Rick, one of my favourite ways to visualise the swing
This may be the best explanation of rotating I have seen. Genius
Wow, thanks Brian, hope it helps your golf swing
Thank you that's the advice I've been needing to hear all these years! That's the secret of the Pros. I took your lesson to the driving range and have never hit it that straight consistently. thank you again
Amazing! Thanks for sharing Tommy
Thanks for this great video, Danny...what you have given us here is the key to an effortless golf swing. If you focus on allowing the feet and legs to do the work as you describe here, the hands, arms and club unit will passively whip the club head through impact with little to no effort on your part. This is one of the best videos you have ever done; it is truly the secret to a better golf game... 👍
Just in 3 words, excellent, excellent, excellent advise. What I love from you is the lack of tension during the swing. We always try to kill the ball and it is exactly the opposite. Thank you so much for your support!!!
Thanks for taking the time to feedback
Danny, I am a 73 year Brit living in the USA who makes his living coaching race car drivers so I am super interested in the teaching side of golf. I started playing when I turned 40 and have played 33 years of inconsistent golf, with my default swing being to "come over the top". I won a super senior tournament a few weeks ago at my home course Wyantenuck in MA USA, both gross and net with an 82 from the middle tees. Then in another recent tournament I had a 109 on the same course! Grr! My friends and I have been following you and practising using your videos as our guide. I can honestly say that the Best Rotation Drill has cured me, as I haven't come over the top once in my last 7 rounds, and that never happens normally, thank you, thank you, I can now sleep at night
Brilliant Simon thanks for taking the time to comment 😁
As always, brilliant video! Have to admit, I've done all the variations, of the incorrect way, to swing the club. Was a little worried at first, thought you were trying to teach us how to do, "the locomotion", but you brought it home with excellence! :) Thanks for your continual effort in helping us be better at this great past time. Keep the family safe during these crazy times!
Thanks as always Bill, this golf drill is a great one for the garden as we have the time now to develop good 'feels' for the the golf swing.
Danny, this video was transformational to my game today. The way you demonstrated what the typical slicer’s upper body movement was like was me to a T. The leg movement, inducing rotation, sounded simple and I tried it.... Perfect! Not only did it help me keep my balance on the follow-through to a complete finish but I was striking the ball better than ever... on the fairway... need to sort the greens out now 😂 Managed to get me round in a gross 77 in very strong winds (off 10, par 69). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Amazing!! Well done Murray
He really simplifies the golf swing.i think he's the best.
Very kind thank you Dave
I think I got it now after studied many great teachers explaining the so called * COIL movement* without really getting ride of my tendency to sway. Thank U so much.
Pleasure, hope it helps
Anyone praying for consistency should watch this video. Simple and very much to the point. Thank you.
Thanks Alf 👍
Love this anti-sway drill Danny, focusing on pressure shifting rather than turning, a great way of keeping your swing very centred. Can't wait to try this post lock-down.
Thank you, if you can use the lockdown period to develop a feel for it without hitting balls, it can really help...all the best
wow! my word....wow! This is my expression. I am a beginner and was confused by the "rotation" all this time. Thanks Danny - this is a major "light bulb" moment for me and i find myself much more stable and starting to be more consistent.
You're so welcome!
This is a game changer for me. Cant wait to get back out there and give it a go. Thank you for such a simple yet powerful explanation - I've been trying to rotate all wrong.
Danny you are miles above any other golf coach on TH-cam, you make everything so easy to understand and it definitely helps to improve, what a guy!
Really kind thank you
Thanks so much. I am older and have some deficits so I tire easily. Watching and memorizing this video helps me when I am tired to straighten out my sloppiness.
Love to hear how you get on
This is the drill to develop a connected swing with tempo and feel. Thank you Danny.
My pleasure James, good drill to work on your golf swing in the garden
Hi Danny, greetings from Malaysia.
All these years of playing I have been having the problem of swaying in my swing trying to "shift my weight" back and through. Having seen your video I realized there is no such thing as "shifting my weight" but instead it should have been applying the correct "pressure" or "force" on the back and front foot in the swing.
A few days ago I happened to watch a TH-cam video from Mike Malaska a golf teacher from the US, he said the same thing about this and he quoted what Tiger who told him that the only thought Tiger has during the back swing is to "push his hip as deep as possible". He never once mentioned the need to "rotate" his hips or "shift his weight". Now it all make sense to me.
At the moment we are having a MCO (Movement Control Order) here in Malaysia until the 14th of April so golf or any other sports/outdoor activities are not allowed. I guess I just need to wait before trying out your instructions given. Thanks again for this great light bulb moment. Cheers.
Thats great to hear Yu San, I was in Malaysia in February. Hope to be back out there next year
@@DanielMaude Hope u had an enjoyable visit to my country.
Danny! Thank you for sharing this simple but helpful rotation drill! I’ve been struggling with my back & down swings in the past 8 years…. After I watched the video, I begin to use this drill when I golf and am able to hit straight and high with any length of clubs. I really appreciate your lessons! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I've been binging your videos since I came home from the range yesterday. I've had low back/hip issues for years, and find getting a good rotation to be difficult. After this video, I've learned I've been forcing my body to do all the things this video is trying to cure. Actively trying to twist my hips for rotation, probably sliding too lol. My wife is just starting out, and I think her and I will benefit from starting from scratch with our swings. I've never had the same swing twice in 30 yrs of golf. Realizing that less is likely more when it comes to finding a consistent swing. Thanks for all you do!
Pleasure Jerrod hope the video helps you 😁
I started playing golf 20 years ago and naturally swung the club using this method. I got all the way down to a 7 handicap. Then I started reading golf magazine articles about turning the shoulders and turning the hips. Even took some lessons from a golf pro who advocated turning the shoulders and hips in his lessons. I spent several years in the golfing wilderness and my handicap grew to 13. I retired in December 2019 so I have been playing and practicing more. I first saw a video about using the straight line forces from Mike Malaska. Your video confirms what he teaches in that video and what my natural swing is. I have started using this and my handicap has dropped below 10 for the first time in about 10 years. I will never go back to any other swing. Great stuff! Concerning the golf swing, turn and rotate are dirty words in my book!
Hey Danny thanks. I had recently started to whip my right hip through with the feeling of meeting the ball at the same time as my club head. Thought I was getting more power, consistency.. however after 2 longish practice sessions I was left with a very sore right hip. So your talking of ignoring the hips is a very positive idea for a 63 year old golfer.
yes and getting the right hip into early can get the club head thrown over the top causing a slice. Look after yourself Declan
This guy is brilliant. Just a fantastic explanation. Very much appreciated.
You are very welcome Roman, happy to help
Danny, this drill helped me immensely. I have been struggling with my iron game - hitting non-stop shanks. I’ve taken lessons and spent hours on the range but nothing was helping. I watched this video last night and applied it at the range right before my round today. I didn’t hit a single shank and actually hit 9 greens in regulation. I am relieved and excited to hone it in at the range this week. Thank you so much!
Absolute pleasure Dave
Danny you are the best. Turning the golf swing into a throwing motion and your rotation drills are so helpful. You need to have a lesson about just the right shoulder for us amateurs. When I watch your fantastic full swings, i noticed that your right shoulder goes back and up around your spine
angle, but only goes down on the downswing. The only forward motion is because it is going
under your chin. the feeling is almost leaving it at the top. Most of us less than perfect swingers,
because we are older and less flexible swing slightly from the top or a lot over the top. When I picked up on this with your swing and throwing motion lessons, I just try to not move my right shoulder at all from the top and that thought naturally moves my shoulder just down and my arms and wrist move beautifully
into the slot position. I think you need a lesson about the right shoulder for us not to bright golfers. Once I used this swing thought, ever thing clicked and worked great with all your fantastic lessons. Thank you.
This is my ‘go-to-instruction’ when I am not hitting my Irons solid. I’m seeing it frequently 😀. And it works 👏👌🏌️♂️
This drill was almost revolutionary for me! With some practice i now understand what i was doing wrong and i have complete confidence in knowing how to fix my swing if it strays away. I have already saved easily 4 strokes per round by practicing this rotation!!! Thank you so much.
Thats amazing Stephen, well done
First time writing a comment after watching dozens of golf videos. Just tried this on the range and after about 5 minutes of awkward feeling swings (my left leg kept feeling locked on the downswing until I stopped forcing the “move back” so harshly) I had my best range session throughout the bag in a very long time time. So simple and can’t wait to try it on the course. Loved seeing the repeatable ball flight (straight or a little draw). Thank you!
That’s brilliant, well done
Hey Danny, I love your simple, yet detailed, instruction of everything you teach. I have already seen improvement in my ball striking from your other videos. I am looking forward to testing this one out on the course. Currently practicing this move in my living room without a ball. Just working on the motion.
I think you offer the best advice for senior golfers. Your narratives are excellent. Probably some unwarranted and wanted criticism: Your body movements don't always coincide with the narrative. It does ABSOLUTELY nothing to describe how not to do something. NOT's don't answer questions DO's do. Over all you're the best for my game. Thank you.
Appreciate the feedback Theodore
Hi Danny, I have been an over the top ball striker for 50 years. Fortunately, with a very strong grip I seldom sliced the ball. Usually hit it straight with a slight curve right at the end of the flight.
It's been 8 months since I picked up a club and on Friday hit 60 balls with my driver trying to turn my hips with not much success and very frustrated.
Spent the next day searching TH-cam videos on turning the hips. When I viewed this video, your explanation of moving your hips back and forth like you walk and the lateral move forward keeping the left hip lower was a complete revelation.
On Sunday, I took my driver to the range again. Before actually hitting a ball, I moved my right hip back and stopped, then shift my hips left and stopped, then swung the club.
I would do the same moves again slowly without stopping and without hitting a ball.
And then hit a ball swinging at half speed.
After 50 balls, I was swinging at maybe 60 to 70 percent speed and hitting the ball at least as far as I did last year with much less effort and slightly left of target with not as strong a grip.
Of course I had to make some other adjustments like ball position and tee height but that was just trial and error.
Can't wait to see how this effects my iron swing. Thanks so much.
This article was very helpful I’ve been playing golf for many years and had working a lot of bad habits yes this give me something positive to work on thank you very much
You are very welcome John
Great lesson. I took this downswing move to the golf course last week and it really helped me hit my target consistently. We all want to rush into the ball by sliding instead of getting the right hip to literally get out the way. Thanks Danny and stay safe.
Can’t thank you enough for this! “Accelerator Pedals,” such an incredibly simple feel. I have been struggling for too long with the turns. First a hook, then I correct with a slice. My favorite part, is I won’t be cluttered up mentally with swing thoughts. I will work on this and let you know how it goes.
Look forward to hearing how you get on
Heel and toe, heel and toe, no slide, no slide... this is now my favourite song.. and only swing thought. Danny you are a genius! Love the way you teach! Regards from Oz.. hope you guys can get out and play again like we are here😀
Thank you, we are back out now. Loving it
I was totally trying to rotate the hips and did not know it really was a weight shift that caused the hips to turn. Thanks so much for this video!!!! I love all your videos!!!
This is brilliant! This is exactly what I struggle with in my swing, and this has made a huge difference. Thank you Danny!
Another good video, never realized this, I will try this immediately, especially how you explained how golfers hook the ball; my nemesis. I am now a senior golfer and have loss some flexibility.
This should really help to clear some space for you to make a fuller golf swing
You are just sooo good -- its golf made simple - just that -- trust you're keeping well through all this mess
Yes Kevin, its been nice to spend so much time with the family
Danny this idea of pushing hips back instead of rotating is truly a revelation. I have seen no one else teach this. I have tried it and it really works in keeping me better centered over the ball. Thank you!
I logged on to TH-cam today looking for tips and instruction on body rotation. Thank you for showing me a better way. I swing better, make better contact, and see the ball better. 🏌I'm enjoying learning how to implement what you explained and demonstrated so clearly.
Thanks Rick happy to help! 😁
Brilliant video and thoughts. I’d sort of recently worked this out but you’ve given me the confidence to push ahead with it and some easier thoughts than my muddled mess. Great stuff. Thanks
Cheers Danny
Always thought I was swaying could never feel the sensation of turning correct. This video has helped immensely
Thats great Ivan. Yes it's amazing how just a simple change in how we see the golf swing can unlock everything
Cheers Danny, it’s really works find, now my swing is quite consistent. I would say it’s the best and simplest drill on swing~ one more question is: my right knee need keep straight or bend at the top of back swing? (while keeps the weight on heel)
Danny, great lesson, I've enjoyed so many of your videos, all have made improvements to my game but this one made the greatest difference so far! It's amazing how this simple advice corrects years of improper swing mechanics; I've had to club down on all my irons because my distance (and aim) has simply improved so much and so effortlessly! Keep the awesome advice coming!
That’s wonderful to hear Dan, thanks for sharing
Holy *#@t! I have been trying to point my left knee behind the ball at the top of the backswing for years, because of some video I saw on TH-cam a long time ago. This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so much!
Pleasure Paul
This drill helps me a lot on my golf and prove it right. I now confidently share this video to my friends.
That’s great, hope it helps them too
This may be the best tip I’ve ever heard after 45yrs !! I would struggle getting stuck hitting fat pushes and couldn’t compress the ball bc my hips were trying to turn instead of straight line back! thank you Danny!
Pleasure Paul, happy to help
Thank you Danny!!!
Myself, longtime average golfer, and my daughter and her boyfriend, both newer golfers, all saw instant improvements. We all had more consistent good strikes. They are off to the range to try this more.
Thats so good to hear
Thanks Danny, very valuable explanation about weight transfer, makes the swing so much more understandable,. please continue this!
Thanks, will do!
Danny, Thanks for all of the great content. I love the way you try to make everyone "feel" what a good swing is for each of us and knowing we will all have different swings. I've had the 'light bulb' moment w/ how you explained the linear movement of the lower body. I have been hitting my irons with much more confidence. Now I look forward to the Par 3 and long approach shots. Keep up the great work!
That’s awesome Doug, thanks for sharing your progress
I love that ‘straight lines’ illustration, makes the movement so clear, thanks!
This drill took so many unnecessary thoughts out of my swing I can't begin to tell you. This is such a simple drill that makes huge improvements. I can not believe I have never seen anyone teach this. I was doing everything you said by thinking I had to rotate and clear my hips and remember to get good shoulder turn and would over turn or under turn one or the other, and now that simple drill eliminated all my crazy hooks and slices. My contact is so consistent and no more standing there going where did that shot come from. I line up and the ball goes where my line is pointed. Hands down for me, and I am sure so many others, this is game changing. Now when I line up at the green I hit the green. I no longer consider the sand on the right or water on the left. My only thought now is, am I playing the right or left side or going straight at the pin. Can't thank you enough.
@@RobwmMer that’s amazing to hear
This video singlehandedly improved me and my wife’s game tremendously. Thanks Danny!
Thats amazing Jay, great to hear
This drill has helped so much with my losing posture in the backswing and early extension in the downswing .I feel much more centred over the ball and the quality of the ball strike is impressive.
That’s awesome to hear Jon
Danny, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am a 4 handicap with a homemade swing. My short game saves me a lot! But ive tried hundreds of hip drills, swing drills etc on TH-cam and haven't had much luck. After I stumbled on this video, I've gained 25 plus yards on my drives. 240-250 to 260-275. (Hopefully increasing more when I get it perfected). Ive been rotating my hips instead of thinking straight line like your video. Such a game changer . My ball flight and impact for irons are incredible now. Best explanation of what the hips are really doing. Sorry but I'm not sharing this with my buddies tho. Gonna make them keep buying me dinner .
Danny, your ability to communicate in simple, understandable terms and demonstrate the motion is incredible! Count me in as a student subscriber, indefinitely!
Great to have you here Ryan
Your advise has dropped 20 strokes off my game and more importantly made the game enjoyable. Finally a video that doesn't further confuse or compound something simple. Best video, bar none
Thats so good to hear Frank. Well done and thanks for sharing
