Agree with Sam King's comment. This is just plain wrong about the "old school" swing! They did not move their shoulders over their right foot, they moved their lower spine to the right. There was no swaying of the head and shoulders to the right!!! The new style golf swing is why so many golfers have back problems, to much torque on the lower spine. (IMHO)

Interesting video Dan, and isn't this what Jack Nicklaus taught in 'golf my way' pivoting around an imaginary state through the centre of his body. I don't recall seeing many pro's moving in the way you describe with so much body and head movement.

Wow! Had NO idea... And here I am rocking that pelvis.....no wonder my game is not going anywhere!! Cheers Dan, keep up the great work

After watching his video i m hooked. I can now appreciate my son's modern swing better. He plays to a 3 n i just cant understand how he could generate such huge power a la George Gangkas. Thank u Dan. Old school swing n modern swing is so so different.

Dan, I challenge your contention the old school pivot is less consistent.  Players now a days seem to hit the ball all over the lot comparably.  I know some is the golf ball launch and spin rates, but still i think the modern pivot consistency advantage across the board is tough to prove.  If anything the modern pivot lacks a rhythm the old school pivot provides which can help tempo and consistency.

Underated chanel, sage technical advice  delivered in very understandable way, man knows his stuff

Thanks Dan, born again golfer here, 30 yes on the modern swing is blowing my mind, especially compression n shaft lean, eek.😮

I'm 60 yrs old.  10.8 HDCP. Play white tees. I've been playing and studying the game for 43 years. I learned the old pivot from Golf Digest magazines in the late 70's through the 80's. Ive played with both these pivots. The old pros who play the game for living could get that timing down and make it work a high level. As a weekend golfer I'm looking for swing foundations that will allow me to be consistent and keep up my ball striking confidence. I want to keep my HDCP and occasionally shoot in the 70's. Great work. I'm a subscriber.

Awesome Video Dan 👍

brilliant as ever Dan.

Dan would you agree that the older players were using equipment that wasn’t as good as current players? And if so didn’t those older school players still shot extremely low scores? Would you say that modern players score better more often than the greats of the past? Is it possible that their older techniques helped them to attain their greatness? Sorry for all the questions please help me with these thoughts. Please and thank you! 🙏

Great advice, spot on teaching. When you watch pros live, all of them are rock solid on pivot whatever the individual quirks, this is a constant. There are no secrets in golf but a few essentials and Dan is right to highlight this. Feels a bit claustrophobic at first particularly in the dswing but stick with it. Also helps short game, bunkers...great clip👍

i have found that the correct pivot action is the key to the swing and consistency. more important than arm swing because if you get the pivot correct the arms move correctly.

As someone coming back into the game after several decades away this helps a lot and explains  consistency problems I was having. Simple effective advice, ta muchly.

I would like to suggest that turnig the body is easy ,simple shorten the lead leg by flexing the knee now you have a post to rotate around.reverse it an the post is the front leg ,turn around the post.no back issues arise because the movement is natural ,like walking.discribed by Mike Austin as the compound pivot.The longest driver of the ball in PGA history.515 yards

Very good instruction

That was great. Thanks and well done!

This is a great video.  I struggled for a while with bad habits with my takeaway which led to a reverse pivot and keeping my weight on my lead leg.  I now make a better turn taking the club away and breaking my wrists properly and I'm getting much better consistency, speed and distance and it feels like much less effort.

I believe a picture is worth a 1000 words.  Make full.swings showing the difference would.be more appropriate between the old and the new.  Visual is best!

Excellent! Been meaning to ask you about the pivot :-)
