 Welcome back to another episode of testing the tips where I, the average golfer, test out some of well, some of the best golf tips out there from the leading golf YouTubers, and this episode comes from Danny Moore. What he says in his thumbnail is 99% of golfers don't understand that and I can confirm Danny that I was one of those in that 99%, there is no doubt about that. Now the title of this video is The Secret to Great Ball Striking and we'll explain how Danny gets o'r rydw i'r ddweud o'r ystyried i'r rhaid i chi, ond ydych chi'n gweithio'r ffordd ym ni yn yma i'r ymddangos beth o'r grwp. Felly mae'r gwrdd yma'r gwrdd yn ymddangos ar gyfwilol, cyd-reifem, y tempau ac ymddangos. Ac ydych chi'n gweithio, mae'r cyd-reifem ac i'r gyrdd yn gweithio, mae'n gweithio, ac mae'r gwrdd yn gweithio. Mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio. After watching this online lesson from Danny, I'm questioning whether or not it was about rhythm and timing, or whether it was about sequencing. And understanding the fundamentals of the sequence of the golf swing is key to getting those bits right, and that's what Danny explains really well in his video. And hopefully I can relay that back to you and how it's no doubt helped me. Now, the video starts with an explanation on how we start the swing and how we get into that sort of backswing. Seems very, very simple and straightforward, but for me then he explains one of the sort of the dangers or the pitfalls that a lot of golfers fall into when they start the backswing with their hands. And that's something without doubt that I start to do. And it shouldn't be that way! It should started with the motion coming from the body and their hands follow and the club follows, and I think for me it's very much a vice versa situation. Menai weithio'n gwerth o'r awr y byddach ac weithio allan o'r awr maen nhw yma i'ch gwerth a'i gwneud fy llach yn y byddau'n gwrthol i holl o'r awr vaen, flynyddio'n gaelio'r cael sy'n gwerth allan i hefyd yn oed yn edAN yn dweud ac maen nhw'n gwerth o'r awr maen nhw maen nhw wedi'u gwneud y ffrindig a gwnewch i'ch cefnogi i'r awr i hefyd iddo buddyn nhw, yn gwerthol i'r awr valve .. driving on the back swing starts or into the downswing starts with movement from the body first and the club follows. Danny explains how we get that sequence in right. This is the first stage at trying to get those movements into some kind of order. Right. This sequence in starts with the ball for the time being golf club in hand out in front of your feet together. ac mae'n dweud yn cymdeithasol, mae'n ysgol i'r gyflusio. Mae'n ddydd o'r wneud o'r grannu cael eu cyflos. Mae'n dweud i'r gael, ac mae'n dweud i'r gael yn gwneud, ond yw i'r gyflosiau, ac mae oed yn dweud i'n dweud. Dwi'n dweud. Dyna hwnnw'n gweithi, dwi'n dweud. Dyna'r gael yn dweud, dwi'n dweud, yna'r gael yn dweud. Ydw i'n dweud i gael, dyna'r dweud o'r dweud, go on to the back foot into the backswing back on to the front foot into the downswing, but for the time being all you need to do and trust me on this it's just that simple motion so it's one two okay then what we're going to do is on the backs on the step backwards we're going to introduce a golf club and you're going to start your swing with that motion so what happens is if I'm going to address I make the step back then the golf club follows now currently in terms of a weight distribution for me if I was stood in the sort of fixed position where I'm at I would start with my club head and hands then my body starts to turn the body would follow the key to this is that the body leads and the club head follows and at the moment a lot of us and I would be in that category the club head starts and the hands start and the body follows so it's a complete reversal of that but just back to the this first stage first of all club address yeah one then two is for me again this is how I counted it's one two with the club to follow and then three is the step forward and then four is the downswing so you're ready for this let's have a go and see if we can get this sequence right one two three four and it's quite quick that so the one is the step forward two is the back three and then four and that's the sequence so it's got to be weight to the rear foot club head follows that's the that's effectively the backswing then it's a step forward which is three and then the club head follows in terms of the downswing now I hope you all got that because trust me I watch this video time and time again of Danny's because I struggle with that sequence and if I'm honest with you if it wasn't for Hannah's assistance behind the camera we broke it down into four steps not into three I think Danny's explanation is one two three we broke it down into the four different steps and it worked for me because I was struggling to understand it and I couldn't get the sequence right so one two three four got it I can only do it in a quick rhythm let's see if I can do it just a little bit slower one two three four and I think then what he's asking you to do is hit short control shot and carry on trying to get that sequence of movement right so if we were together it's one two three four and all your hitting really probably a little bit longer than Danny would have wanted us to do it's just that control shot just to drill in that sequence and like I said trust me on it it takes a long while well it took me a long while I've spent a good hour trying to get this right it seems a very simple process but for me that stepping back we broke it down like I said into four movements not into three and the count was one back two the club head follows three forward and then four the club head comes through and you start into that downswing and the follow through that's the first stage practice that element get that sequence right and now we'll move on to stage two one two three four one two three one two three okay so right so after much effort like I said in trying to get this sequence right you've seen me hitting some shots there sort of like I said half shots I've got seven iron in hand and again it's controlled it's feeling that sort of sequence that rhythm and that's the bit that I really did struggle with like I said but the next stage really is just to simply amplify those movements to take it into what effectively you want to be as a full swing so we do exactly the same but the steps become bigger and you're using the ground a little bit more because the whole thing in all of these lessons and sort of the fundamentals of the golf swinging what I've found is by using that ground a little bit more using the legs and the body like I said in this case to start the swing but also again using that ground again to sort of drive down into the start of the to the start of the downswing as well so we just all we do is address the ball it's one two three four again but it becomes bigger so I'll take it as a practice swing first of all the swing becomes bigger it's one two three and then four now let's count these really quick but I hope you just see for me I really struggle to sort of step and lift this foot this front foot so for me it's just a slight movement or a shift of weight and again whether that's right or wrong I don't know but I can't lift that foot and move it forward and the only thing I would say with that it's great as a sort of training motion to get the sequence in right but I almost find it better in the next stage I'm going to get to which is addressing the ball in a norm position without the movements if you like but anyway let's try this whilst the camera's on so I'll address fairly close together and we'll go for one two three four and that's a really decent strike to be honest so that's our sort of full swing and you'll see there we sort of got in above that sort of 140 odd carries what I'm sort of seeing much more building like I said and you'll see the other overlays that we've got how we started from that sort of lower end and sort of got that movement going keep watching that back and keep trying to count that tempo that's what I found really difficult and like I said added in an additional count for me on a personal level so like I said it was that that one two three four but I'm going to try one ball now which is really like I said where it counts which is at the kind of addressed position and all that changes really is obviously there's no step we're in that position but it's the weight shift and it starts from this front leg into the backswing so into the backswing and then let the club head follow into the backswing let the club head follow and then it's back down into this left foot then the club head follows into that downswing I hope I'm explaining this right because like I said it's very much my interpretation but it's very much me understanding that my own sequencing was definitely it's definitely out and there's no doubt of our that the hands would have started again instead of me drilling down and then or pushing down into that front leg transferring the weight into that left leg quite often like I said my hands would start the backswing the downswing rather and then my body would follow so let's have a go with a shot on thingy so weight over to the back and then back through and down it's a really great strike strike on the ball decent ball decent ball flight but it took a lot of getting used to this and it even took a lot in terms of me translating it into a video I'll be perfectly honest with you and if we had done this video at the start of the day in the first hour I really struggled with that sequence but what it highlighted to me was that just how poor my sequencing is and I by no means mastered it in this few hours that we've tried to put this video together but it's given me like I said a better understanding of where it should be and it's without doubt something that I will definitely take in terms of the practice range and something that I will concentrate on when I'm on the tee and that sort of shifting of weight making sure that my weight is starting to get over to that left side before I start to drag that club in to the downswing right did my very best that was a tough one to explain I hope you enjoyed it I hope it made sense but I think as ever with all these the best way to understand it is by watching Danny's explanation and seeing if you can sort of marry the two together and like I said you've got to use your own interpretation like I said Hannah counted a different sequence and we ended up counting four sort of movements within that tip and it helped me and that's what you've got to do you've got to take elements from it bring them to your own game see what resonates in the brain and try and adapt it a little bit at least that's what I've done anyway right as ever thank you for watching comments down below I hope you enjoyed this continued series of me testing the tips love your feedback let me know if you give that one a try I'd be interested to hear from you and I'll see you all very soon
