up okay it's a simple as that now what we're doing here all you're doing here is and you don't have to do the club initially just look at my tram start so very important by the way I missed this one face you now all you're doing the Palm is there it's on top and all we're doing look is rotating this Trail side down look at this rotation there through the impact area that's all you're doing the pan path is working left that brings the club from behind here works the club back out in front the hands are going left to do this and I'm able to control this beautiful as the right side continues moving through I'm able to keep those arms beautifully straight there's if if you struggle with this either your body's stopping and therefore if your body stops the cup will naturally be thrown or alternatively what you're doing is is you just don't have the Palm here pushing you don't have the whole right side pushing through the impact area here remember don't misinterpret push as in we're not pushing this way that will leave the face wide open you're pushing on the Ark of that Golf Club okay let's now move up to the mid irons where we start to work on how this is unbelievably helpful to get you into a great position at the top of the Swing so let's now extend this up to your mid irons here right now all we've done here is I've just put again same thing put a grip on a midon and all I'm doing is the same principle but now we're going to extend it back a little bit now before we do though just a one thing this is cheating you can actually do this in competitions but it is amazing at developing the swing yeah so you don't need in competitions but you know what if you don't play competitions put putter grips on all of your clubs at 45 degree angle and you guaranteed to start improve your golf swing okay now the other thing before we get into this some people when they see me kind of pushing through like this they often say are you hanging on Dany no this club is always swinging through beautifully freely the thing is this when you swing freely but your body stops of course it's going to get flicky but I want this club to swing as freely as possible but I want the inside are your body to keep working so that you've got some control over it through the impact area okay does that make sense so let's move up now so what we're doing we've now got the sensation you got the 45 degree angle here you feel the pressure on the arc going left we've got pressure here with flat bit there now where did we go we're going to go to what I call the 9 9:00 position I'm pushing back here where's the Flat bit now I'm pushing away from you my palm now is the way here it's pushing this way it's pushing down down and then around this is super important what do most people do they might roll their wrists you're not pushing down now are you halfway back they might from here they might actually go this way where's that going is that pushing down here no it's coming over the top so it's a great way to get a sense of creating and keep keeping this beautiful Circle so we've got the first part of circle here we're pushing away keeping the pal away this way this way notice when my elbow's naturally sitting down to do that that's all you do we're going to 9 9:00 we're going to go back down to here and then we're going to rotate push push push through on the ark again just like You' just done with a pitching so you're starting from here to here and then all we're doing is extending it up to there and then working it around does that make sense okay so let's hit a shot now and and all I'm going to focus on initially I'm going to feel that motion here I'm going to push through and really sense me turning onto that shot then I'm going to gradually extend it to 9:00 here and from here it's down straight down and around here I'm not from here going this way I'm going down back on back staying on the circle here to flat and then around okay let's have a look at this in

action so as you look at the slowmo now take a look at my arm look at how they're extending beautifully through the impact area there's no flicking there's no bending this is giving me complete control over that club face it's giving me complete control of strike and Direction now you can do this too now let's extend this to driver so with driver like all the clubs you don't want to be thinking about too many things so how can we apply this kind of pressure now look I've taken the P grip off and ultimately I've got standard one here how do we apply this pressure with the driver well let's start with what you've just learned the feelings and the images that you we're creating here there's a pressure look at start with setup there's a pressure this way okay this way down and left that's what it feels like okay we're working it here the Palm's on top now this is key here where's the Palm working it's working up and it's pointing away that forces the the elbow to sit down then where does it go it starts to point to the sky from here we it back down into here and then it's working look on the ark around here this is how you control it so you're controlling your right side my trail side here all the way through the shot so just at home take this Trail side and really practice and visualize this whole motion notice this it's not this where this is staying static I'm firing it down down through the shot and then through like this really feel at right side flowing through impact this is how you keep control but from feedback from my students what they love because they really got an idea of the feeling they need through impact they've now uh they simply do a little rehearsal before they hit driver they kind of get the sense here they feel the pressure at the start so they've set this Trail elbow not here or here they set it facing directly forward and what they're doing is is they're kind of almost doing this they're pushing through they just get a sense of pushing this Trail side through and under underneath because particularly if you slice most of the time you're on top here you're throwing it here the elbow's popping out if you just practice look pushing on the ark this way this now you can start small you can just get a sensation here of this working this Trail side working underneath and through and it's going to give you that beautiful solid motion once you know your destination it makes it so much easier once you know what you got to do here to for this bit St to happen naturally it makes no sense to do all this kind of weird stuff on the way back when you know that that is what you've got to do on the way through so let's rehearse it we feel it through impact here down and through let's have a look at this in

action so get the sensation of what this Trail side is supposed to be doing through the impact area it is so so important okay get it working the poter grip although legal in competitions if you fitted all your clubs with that and you didn't play in competitions wanted to to to beat your mates and develop an amazing gol swing it is amazing at doing that you just feel all the right places you need to be every single time it's fantastic and again if you don't have that and you don't want to do that just put that trail hand on top of the golf club here feel it there look feel it away from you here feel it above and all you're doing you're feeling the pressure on the circle all the time if I pull pull this away here I've lost all connection I've all it starts to get really loose keep it there and you've got this beautifully controlled motion all the way back and all the way through I absolutely love it so massive thanks to to Pete for sharing that with with me look if you want to see me have a short game session where we actually work on this kind of similar thing not with a grip actually but pressure coming through impact check this video out right here and I actually gave this works truly unbelievably well in bunkers check this video out right here where I gave Leo a lesson live lesson um using this exact technique in bunkers 2 so it works all over the place hope you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up maybe share it with a friend of course look the download practice guide in the description box below Come And subscribe to the channel if you haven't already done so have a great golfing week.

Transcript Summary-

So a few months ago, I was lucky enough to spend time with my mentor and the world's number one coach, Pete Cowan. He gave me something off camera that is helping so many of my students, and it's a wonderful tip. It doesn't just work for the short game; it works for mid-irons and the long game. Ultimately, it's about having control through impact.

If you're struggling, most of the time it's because, through impact, you have a very weak position. You don't have control over the clubface. It starts to get flicky, your arms bend, and you lose a lot of power. In this video, I'm going to show you exactly what this is because it is unbelievable at training you into the correct feeling.

Now, before I get into the video, if you're new to the channel or it's one of your first lessons of mine, please consider subscribing. I release videos just like this one every single week, trying to help you improve your game. Plus, you'll never have to remember a thing; I'll always put a free download and practice guide in the description box below.

Let's start with pitching first, and we'll move to your mid-irons and then your woods because what I'm going to show you works for everything, and it's wonderful for controlling the quality of your contact, your direction, and your distance.

The great players, what do you see them doing through impact? You'll notice this common movement as they're swinging through. What do you notice about my trail arm and my arms here? They're beautifully straight, and my trail side has gone beautifully through the shot. This movement is controlling what I like to call the swing circle.

Most of the time, if you're struggling with distance, direction, and contact, you are having some form of breakdown through the impact area. You're getting wristy, your elbows are bending, the body suddenly stops moving; there's a multitude of things potentially happening.

Now, here's where this little device from Pete comes in. It's a putter grip, a flat putter grip. I normally put it like this, but he's put it at a 45-degree angle. Why? The golf swing is a circle, a 45-degree circle, and the club swings on a circle, but your hands also swing on an arc. You want to feel that this hand path is working towards the golf ball, starting with the palm facing down, working left of the target. That brings the club around on an arc.

The reason it's angled at 45 degrees is that it gives the sensation of putting pressure down on the golf ball and through. The hands are working left to release the club beautifully through the impact area. You're not flicking; you're pushing with the palm through the impact area. You're pushing on the arc, not forward, but on the arc of that golf club.

Let's move up to the mid-irons now, where we can work on how this is unbelievably helpful to get you into a great position at the top of the swing. Let's extend this up to your mid-irons.

What we've done here is put a grip on a mid-iron, same principle, but now we're going to extend it back a little bit. This is cheating; you can actually do this in competitions. Put putter grips on all your clubs at a 45-degree angle, and you're guaranteed to start improving your golf swing.

Before we get into this, when you see me pushing through like this, some people might ask, "Are you hanging on, Danny?" No, the club is always swinging through beautifully freely. I want the club to swing freely, but the inside of your body needs to keep working so that you have control through the impact area.

Now, let's hit a shot and focus on feeling the motion here, pushing through and turning onto the shot. Gradually extend it to 9:00, then down straight and around. Feel that motion, and you'll have a beautifully controlled pitch.

Now, let's extend this to the driver. With the driver, you don't want to think about too many things. How do we apply this pressure? Start with the feelings and images from earlier, the pressure down and left. Apply this to the driver, feeling the pressure on the arc. Visualize and rehearse the motion before hitting shots.

Take this trail side, practice and visualize the whole motion. You're not pushing forward; you're pushing on the arc. It's about getting the sensation of the trail side working underneath and through. Practice and visualize this motion at home, feel the pressure on the circle, and keep that connection.

If you don't have a putter grip, you can put the trail hand on top of the club, feeling the pressure on the circle all the time. Keep that connection, and you'll have a beautifully controlled motion all the way back and through.

Massive thanks to Pete for sharing this with me. If you want to see a short game session working on a similar thing, check out this video. I also gave a live lesson using this technique in bunkers; check that video out as well. It works all over the place. Hope you enjoyed the video. Give it a thumbs up, maybe share it with a friend, and of course, find the download practice guide in the description box below. Come and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already done so.
