The physics part is all nonsense, but David is a brilliant teacher.

@corusa Its not a cure all, they are just tools to help you feel more of what is going on in your body (the drills). They only person that can make the change is you when you feel something that is off.
Also this is not the only way to power the golf swing, you can use combinations of various muscles but they have to be balanced between the centrifugal force pulling you forward and the counter weight moving in the opposite. If this doesn't occur some energy will have to go back into your body.

This is a dose of medicine, not a panacea. Look at Dustin Johnson, very little lateral movement. Matt Kuchar, all arms.

@metaman8 - Anyone know what happened to Noah? I don't think he's teaching G.G. right now. Heard he shot some big numbers (including 88) in some pro qualifying tournaments. I thought he had a great swing.

To proslayer: the swing plane you see in David or any other "gravity" player is unique to his or her physical attributes, ie: height, bone structure, muscle bellies,etc. On the subject of power, the more muscle you use in your swing-- the less mass one can utilize during the delivery. The DVD's explain the physics of what David discovered when it comes to power application.

Im with you on that. That would just be the missing piece of my explanation. I just ran out of characters to include the body rotation.
-
@swingawaysmooth It is possible to have a fast moving clubhead hit the ball with the rotation of the body momentarily stalled. Then impact is not supported, and only the weight of the arms and clubhead transfer to the ball. It your core is moving through impact, and properly connected to the arms and club, more energy is transferred to the ball, and a slower moving clubhead can then actually hit the ball further.
-
I believe what he is claiming is possible IF you consider that you are allowing the full mass of the arms and club (from the top of the swing) to rotate into the ball without subtracting from the potential mass by contracting the muscles of the arms, hands, shoulders, chest, and back. Or, to restate it, it is the acceleration of the clubhead through the impact zone from the top rather than the absolute speed of the clubhead that transfers best into ball speed.

earltpt please do elaborate I would be happy to further explain anything that is unclear.

some very dubious pseudo science going on there!!!!!!!
this isnt really true.... fred couples and jack nicklaus did have 'flying elbows' but not this weird ass arm swing at the top, and im sorry but you cant have high club speed, but a small amount of force on the ball, thats not possible unless you just simply mishit it...

@proslayar
I have played golf with the guy in the video (Noah). He stripes it 300 center cut every time and hit club head speed is in the low 100's or so. I have been training with David for 10 months. My club head speed is less now and I am hitting it 30-40 yards further. Before I was 290 and did not know where it was landing. Now I am 320-340 and can point to where it will land before I hit it. There is no standard way for the arm to drop in the slot. It can drop in early or late.
