What a great presentation and explanation all the way through. This is a video I will want to save and watch over and over as I practice

one of the best descriptions on the transition...just need to be able to execute this now

A great video...Would love to see some more drills to perfect the transition. Great work

Outstanding Danny.

Best golf swing by an instructor on KZfaq! When you see that, then they are worth listening to.

Rightly or wrongly I try to freeze my trail arm elbow angle as I begin the downswing. It forces me to rotate my body first, helps lag the club and deliver compression to the ball. This one swing thought alone has helped me massively.

Great video turorial, thank you very much bud!

Excellent Danny. Thank you

Great and detailed video, Danny. 👍🏾

Brilliant video Danny! I suffer from over the top and this video is very helpful thanks.

Very well instructed and definitely improved my results. I seem to get the feel of the transition better with the longer clubs, than the short irons though.

One of the good tips on u tube ,very well described.i have a very short backswing and I always think it's not long enough to give my body the chance to do what it needs to do ,I feel things will happen naturally if one can complete ther backswing shoulder under chin and high hands than everything falls into place unfortunately I struggle with this ,short backswing seems to be great tho for short irons more control!

Good video. Good production quality.

Yes, its a bump or tiny move to the lead foot and yes it happens before you finish the backswing. I subbed and liked. You sir are correct

The step drill cures many faults.. one that I used during even practice session. My focus is the step is more a fall to the left side and not pushing off with my right foot.

ThNk you

Im working on a longer swing and not be afraid to lift the lead heel to really crank it up like Bubba and you know what it is really helping and getting more distance. Great video on the transition thanks

Hi Danny. I am new to your channel. I enjoyed the content regarding this key move. Thank you. Perhaps, for me, what could be missing to it, would be, from where or from which part of the body you suggest this key move should be initiated: left knee, hip, left heel? In order to make more intuitive for the average player. Many thanks Kind regards

Moe Norman was teaching this years ago - nothing new under the sun - but about time people started teaching this.

Hi Danny I agree with everything you said not to do. So why set up with a straight( not lock trail arm) and a slightly flexed lead arm as you bend your body and place your club perpendicular to your ball and then swing over the top from the inside ( OTTFTI) that many great golfers do today and yesteryear; transition as they do using your entire right arm quickly drop the head of the club directly down to your ball tuning left to finish your swing? Like the rings around Saturn your club head swings naturally along it’s swing circle center. At age 75 i discovered It’s almost automatic. Cheers

The step forward drill is HUGE! Do this or fogettabbouttit!

The absolute best way to groove this feeling is one hand at a time. Teach each side to load and throw a frisbee… the golf swing IS throwing a frisbee. And the release happens well after impact and divot.. then, teach each arm to work together. Throwing a frisbee with two hands on it. This teaches how to load and maintain lag tension all the way into impact. I’ve picked up 15 yards with my mid irons only focusing on “throw a frisbee”. And the full release of “the frisbee throw” should happen when your left arm is parallel to the ground in the follow through. That’s actually where the follow through starts, and the momentum of the arm/club assembly pulls you into a finish position.

Thank you for a great lesson! I have been confused about release. Or released ? Is there an arms release , body, club? At 60 plus years, I have lost lots of yards, more than 50! club speed is slow. Need HELP! From anyone.

Is it not better to think of moving your tailbone toward the bottom of the of the front of ball divot than thinking of weight shift?

So transitioning bump is that similar squat move you stated in another video ?

Danny, do I push off my left foot?

Good but pulling down on the club doesn’t necessarily steepen it. Hand and wrist control prevent that from happening.

The water skier is not flung out by natural forces. The skier continues on a straight line until the force of the rope accelerates the skier into a circular path. If you let go of the club mid-swing, it will continue with the last velocity (speed + direction) it had at the moment of let-go. Obviously you provide the inward (not let it go) force to swing the club on a roughly circular path. (Physicist & golfer!)

If I start my transition move with my left knee once the backswing reaches hip height. I can't have a long backswing. Yet you say it is more desirable. So how do you get a long backswing I'm confused

Excellent video and excellently explained. Too many of the negative results from poor transition you describe affect me. Cannot wait to hit the range after work now! Thanks!

Nothing wrong inherently with starting the downswing steep!

Lead shoulder down is what gets me shallow

Thanks Danny. Deserving of another four zeros on your subs number.

Look up Dr Kwon, biomechanist in texas womens University, specialty is golf. His step drills are perfect for this

"So a feeling you can take into transition is just that. Just a sensation of when you get to the top, the speed boat, your body, just does that nice little bump across. It's not going too aggressive. Just a nice softening. A nice little bump. Pressure into the left side. This is staying a little bit quieter up here and you'll see that club will just fall slightly underneath the initial plane. You won't pull on it, because as soon as you pull on anything, that's actually going to steepen the club. So you just want a nice little bump across with your lower half, putting that pressure into your lead side and then from there as soon as you push off the ground and start to rotate that club is going to naturally going to fling back out just by natural forces onto a good plane and get a beautiful delivery into impact. So that's the first feeling I want you to take into this." I'm sorry, what feeling? I don't doubt you know what you are doing, but I really can't understand what feeling you are trying to convey here. That seems like a whole bunch of ideas, not one feeling. I feel like the main thing you are saying is to have this nice little bump across. What does that mean? Are you saying to shift your pressure? Drop down? Slide? Rotate? What is a "bump across?"

“Professional golfers do” conversation ends there-if everyone could do it we would all be professional- but worth wasting weeks on the range to try until next tip😮

Can't have lag in the swing if the hips don't move first. If you tell a beginner to hit the ball as hard as they can, they almost always will lead with their lower body - at least a decent natural athlete will. It's crucial to hit the ball hard as you can, you can refine it later. It's almost impossible to teach somebody the movements needed to produce lag after they've been playing (poorly) for a long time.

Here's a quiz for ya. Name the professional golfer and TEACHER who did exactly what most say not to. His lower pelvis went right on the back swing and left on the downswing, but his head never moved. HINT: He also holds the longest drive in competition play.

Bha ha🤣🤣🤣🤣

Talk to much

Talk aboit complicated...OMG! just grip it and rip ot...KISS. if uou fpllow this video, you will be tied on knots every rime

Danny, may I suggest you go watch some Phil Mickelson vids. He’s on point, brilliant and takes under a minute to teach what you take 8mins. Not a criticism buddy but you are never going to reach the subscribers numbers by padding out as much as this one.
