I think defining the swing plane this way, referencing the target line, is the easiest way for golfers to understand. I use this drill all the time with my students. Great job!!
So I have tried this drill at practice range. I just imagined the laser line, slow swings to start then gradually increased speed to full swing. Noticeable difference and starting to cure the straight pull left. Thanks
Enjoying your videos, David. My recurring issue is pulling my irons left of my target. The ball flight is straight, but the direction is 10 to 20 yards left of my target line.
Hi David, great visual video. My problem is from top of backswing throwing arms and therefore shoulder out toward ball and "over the top" with pulls (divots point to left). Have tried all sort of fixes but for me it's a natural move and most difficult to correct especially on full swings. Regards from Chicago area.
Hey thanks for the comment. I’ve added this to the list this is a very common one for a lot of golfers and think we could help a lot of people with this one 👌
Love the videos! I’m looking for a drill to get my weight forward and down into my lead heel. At impact with irons I’m pushed up on my lead toes and weight obviously on trail leg from there
Hey Liam thanks for the comment. This is a great question for sure I’ve a got a great drill for that. I’ll add it to the list and will tag you when it’s out 👍
It worked perfect. I am going to continue this drill along with the toilet paper roll drill for 30 minutes everyday for the next month. I will report back in@@dlgolftips
Great question Stephen thank you. I actually did a video on what starts the downswing a couple of weeks ago, I’ll add the link but I will be doing more on this subject as it’s so important and yes often gets confusing th-cam.com/video/OfXj4lY9qeM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=63ivYVWGzYXysx7B
Hi David. Yet another easily understood and simple drill. Well done and thanks. As fast as ideas for future content I have a few suggestions for you to consider. I am sure there are many seasoned golfers like myself who are in the golden years of life and are cursed with slowing speeds and annoying physical aliments that may restrict how we would like to move as in days gone by. Any coaching, drill and exercise to help your seasoned audience? Another idea is have live lessons with students that shows potential areas of improvement and skills development\drills. Lastly how about from time time you playing some golf against opponents.....mix some entertainment with some commentary on game\course management. There....a long wish list. Cheers!
Hey Graeme thank you for the comment. Some great suggestions, thank you. Definitely will get a video made for as you say the seasoned golfer. Also definitely plan to get some footage of lessons I teach, problem is where I teach isn’t great for this but will sort it. And yes getting some challenges on the course is definitely on the agenda just need to find someone willing to challenge me 🤣
Great tip. The problem with it is watching it at 0530 makes me want to get up and practice straight away. As I’m not a ninja and don’t have a stealth mode, it might just annoy the wife if I did. I’m like a few other followers on here naturally lead with the arms and have a divot(when I have one) going left with a slight slice. Think it’s my hips not getting through first. Any advice would be great. Keep up the good work.
lol 🤣 I know that feeling ya wanna get up and try but don’t want to wake the entire house lol. 100% that’s a very common issue and I’m going to make a video on that for sure, it’s a very common problem ⛳️
Hi David, i can’t feel the top of my back swing, i have a very short back swing - how do i get it to the top (longer back swing) on a consistent basis! Thanks, great content, good luck with the channel.
Thanks so much for the comment and support 🙏 this is a good idea for a video. One thing I would say do you feel you hit it far enough out on the course? Would lengthening the backswing be to gain distance?
I did a video on the hips a few weeks ago which might help you out a bit 👌 I’ll put the link below here 99% of Golfers Don’t Move their Hips this Way th-cam.com/video/kfWIL4Izkmo/w-d-xo.html
Hey Paddy. The wrist hinge etc is completely taken care of as you do the drill in order to get the ‘light’ to point on the baseline the wrists have to work in accordance. As far as the hands go at takeaway they should be over the toes, halfway back (lead arm parallel) through the right bicep then at the top just over the right shoulder then the same positions on the downswing. Will definitely get a video done on this for you 👌
@@dlgolftips awesome will practice that for sure. On days I’m stripping it, I have no clue at time how or why it’s happening. And when I lose the feeling and everything falls apart I struggle to manage the basics. I feel this video will help me find a way back to baseline confidence. Secondly, I feel like my back problems might become a thing of the past with this way of thinking. 🤷♂️ 😊
unfortunately, I have the onset of arthritis. It currently affects both my hands which can cause me problems gripping. Also, my mobility is limited in my back swing. I am right handed. Any suggestions of any alternative moves I could do to overcome this please?
Ah ok I see that can make it difficult for sure. I’m going to do a video on some exercise to increase mobility in the important areas for the golf swing which should help. But let me ask you in terms of the hands have you tried jumbo grips? No only that but a jumbo soft grip? Can really help
Hey thanks for the comment. If clubface is good we’ve got a path issue and as you say most likely the transition from the top coming over the top. I’ve added it to the list and will be sure to make a video on this 💪
Never feel like i fully swing club always feels like i only half swing with Irons. Afraid of lossing control i guess but prone still to hitting ground first
Would you say with the shorter swing you still hit it far enough to play the course? Often times a find people search for the big long swing but it isn’t always necessary. Yes the ground first is going to be at the forefront of a lot of my videos, as I teach on a daily basis this is the biggest problem I see.
Keep at it, give it’s some time. Also make sure as you do it you are also turning and using your body. First time I tried it I only used my arms once I got the turn involved it was great 👍

Thanks Bris. Yeah such a simple way of thinking about it for sure 👌
Great tip and very simple to follow
Thanks Greg glad you enjoyed it 👍 let me know how it goes ⛳️

That’s awesome really glad to hear it 🙌

That’s an interesting one I’ve a had a few requests for this same issue so I will definitely aim to do a video on it 👌

Thanks for the nice Video. My struggles are less club head speed and an early release.
Thanks for the message 👌 yes early release is very common and that actually causes you to lose speed. I’ll add it to the list 👍
Love the videos!

David great video.. I'm headed to the garage to figure this out.. I will let you know how it works out.
Thanks
Love it 🔥🔥 let me know how it goes 🙌
It worked perfect. I am going to continue this drill along with the toilet paper roll drill for 30 minutes everyday for the next month. I will report back in@@dlgolftips
That’s awesome 🙌
My issue is what starts the downswing. Too much confusion on whether arms or body start downswing. Looking forward to your video on this subject……

I would like to know more about the shoulder turn in connection with hand depth
Perfect that’s a good one I will add that to my list and get a video made 👍
Weight shift throughout the swing and position of upper body/ head in relation to address position throughout swing. From face on perspective 👍
Great idea Alex will definitely get a video on this 💪

Yes, I’m a short hitter driver 200-220, 7 iron 140-150 @@dlgolftips
Ok cool well I’ll get a video on this definitely had a couple of people with the same issue and think it could help a good few people 💪
Timing downswing in relation to moving the hips in proper sync
I did a video on the hips a few weeks ago which might help you out a bit 👌 I’ll put the link below here

Details of how the the left wrist turn over?
Perfect I’ll add this to the list 👍 thank you for the comment
I have a hard time keeping my trail hand palm on top of my lead hand at top of the back swing.
Interesting. Tell me this would you say the swing is long at all?
Still confused on what wrist are doing alone the drill and where the hands are in reference to the center of sternum. If you can elaborate 🙏
Hey Paddy. The wrist hinge etc is completely taken care of as you do the drill in order to get the ‘light’ to point on the baseline the wrists have to work in accordance.

How far forward of the ball should hands be at address?
This is a great one 👌 got a really good one for this. Stay tuned 📹

@@dlgolftips Not yet but will look into that very soon 👍🏻
Yeah definitely a bigger softer grip I promise will really help
Putter grip please, I struggle with gripping it like an iron.
That’s a good one I’ll add it to the list 👏
🔥
🙏🙏
Generally good striker of ball but often straight pull left. Suspect its my transition at top of swing. Cub face is good at impact on track man
Hey thanks for the comment. If clubface is good we’ve got a path issue and as you say most likely the transition from the top coming over the top. I’ve added it to the list and will be sure to make a video on this 💪

Yes the ground first is going to be at the forefront of a lot of my videos, as I teach on a daily basis this is the biggest problem I see.
@dlgolftips guess it's the expectation of how a swing should be but your right if shorter swing works then should just go with it
Someone always asks , would you do the same drill with the driver.. that someone is me ?
lol 😂 yes definitely same story here with the driver, just as we are further away the plane will appear flatter but still points at that baseline ⛳️
did this drill several hundred times, but i seem to be hitting the ball with deep divots
Keep at it, give it’s some time. Also make sure as you do it you are also turning and using your body. First time I tried it I only used my arms once I got the turn involved it was great 👍
thank you@@dlgolftips
Anytime 💪
I feel like I'm rushing my swing and my lead arm bend during the downswing, feel like it's a sequencing issue
Hey Simon thanks for the comment. At what point would you say your lead arm is bent? Top of backswing or at impact or maybe both?
@@dlgolftips it happens at both. I think I force too much with shoulder and arms, butt I have some trouble shutting them down in the swing
Ah yes I think I know what it is you’re doing and have had quite a few requests for a similar issue. Will definitely get a video made on this 👍
@@dlgolftips thanks a lot! Love your vids :)
confused about what my wrists should be in the swing
Hey thanks for the comment 👌 this is a great one I’ll be sure to do video in detail on the wrists throughout the golf swing ⛳️
Square the face
Thanks for the comment 🙏
