Danny Midgelow Golf Coach

First time on the course for Max, made a nice little 6 here 🙌🏼💙 x

Some before and afters from this weeks coaching so far. Well done all 👊🏼📈

* Half day coaching session *
It was a pleasure to spend half a day with last week, we spent 3.5 hours solely on the swing mechanics.
Some fantastic progress made, check out the before and afters 👍🏼👍🏼

Clip 1 - Set up changes. Belt buckle more central to the feet, with the sternum a degree behind the belt buckle. This creating more room at set up between Tom and the weight line running vertically up from the outside of the left foot, and getting the weight off the left foot.

Clip 2 - much better pivot, with weight more into the right foot through the backswing. At the top of the swing we now have more room between Tom and the weight line running up from the left foot to shift and turn in too.

Clip 3 - post impact, as you can see Tom is no longer breaking through the weight line and getting in-front of the ball which was causing the hands to release early.

Clip 4 - loading the right hip better and staying attached to the line running down the tail bone. Arms a little higher, with the left arm now running through the right shoulder. Left wrist flatter keeping the club shaft on a better plane.

Clip 5- Less early extension (tail bone coming away from the line) and more rotation helping to get the club more in front and less stuck inside. Club-face less open due to the left wrist angles.

Clip 6 - No early extension through the ball, more rotation, all allowing for a more passive club face (less forearm roll) which can be seen by the face angle post impact, and more neutral swing path.


I really look forward to seeing this swing progress and the scores improve as we move forward. Great start Tom, onwards and upwards 👊🏼👊🏼

Chipping work, great to see the confidence growing 👍🏼🏌️‍♂️

Early extension work / maintaining posture. Visually this is the tail bone staying connected to the yellow line from posture and throughout the swing. On the after image, look how the tail bone stays back on the line, leaving room for the trail arm (right arm) to get back infront of the body at this stage of the swing. Holding posture and maintaining the ‘squat’ position in the downswing also allows more rotation of the hips, which as can be seen has got the club shaft back out on plane.

Loading the right hip back and allowing the left knee to come in slightly to help create a bigger turn. This enables the arms and body to remain more in-sync to the top, putting us in a better position to start the downswing.

Great session, before and afters just 30 mins apart.
The club was dropping too far behind and getting stuck inside coming into delivery (in-between clip 2 & 3).
We needed to get more rotation in the downswing to get the club back in front of the body and back on plane.
By keeping the flex in the right leg to the top of the swing and activating the hips earlier in transition allowed us to be way more open coming into delivery which steepened the delivery stage of the downswing and kept the club on plane into impact. With the hips ending up a lot more open at impact allowing for a much more passive club face.
