Hi Dan, your concepts make total sense. I’m compressing the ball now with less effort and more consistency. To increase my distance I push my legs against the ground which allows me to swing my arms faster and still stay balanced. My body automatically rotates as a result of the release as opposed to the release happening as a result of a rotating body. It’s a much simpler swing yet very powerful. Great work!!
That’s so awesome! I’m glad it’s been able to change your sequencing for the better! Stay tuned for more!
Dan, it works! Any suggestions an increasing speed and/or power. Thanks
Please please post more. Played last night trying this and it works. I am a lefty. It would help seeing a slow motion of the downswing. I kinda get the fold. I don’t get the throw down in this video compared to the fold. Love it! Thanks. Wish I lived closer!
Thanks for the comment, keep practicing! She’s folding the club down here…same thing as we’ve always talked about. We will make more videos - stay tuned!
Look every day for a video from you .....glad to see you back....best instruction on the internet!!!!
I’ll try and get more out soon! Should be 2wks away from another video - her and I will do Driver. Stay tuned!
@@danaltongolfinstruction This man is a genius at teaching golf. If you hit the folding point and let your hands/arms lead, the body will most of the time respond/support correctly!! Good to see you are back, Dan....
Thanks so much, Dan! This is an amazing concept and I want to be patient with it because I believe it's the best way to swing. The one thing I think that would help me (and probably others) immensely is some help with the concept of "staying frontal" on the backswing. Do you have any drills, comments, or swing thoughts you can share. I think "staying frontal" is the foundation to making this work well but it's not something that most people know how to do properly/intuitively. Is it just feeling like you're lifting your arms without turning too much?
Yes - try not to twist, if you watch Brooke Henderson, Justin Thomas, Tiger..minimal hip twist. So yes, raise up instead of turn back behind
Do I change my overlapping grip when using the folding point technique?
Dan with folding, how do you assure good weight transfer?
This seems consistent with the Jackie Burke Jr. concept he got from his father. Point the club at the target at the top on the backswing then wrap it around your neck at the end of your forward swing. Your students are definitely wrapping the club around their necks in the end of the forward swing. Drills: Take a sand wedge sized club then pop the ball up into the air with one hand only. First with your dominant or trail hand then with your lead hand (the real acid test). Hint: pretend the club face is a laid back spoon and you are propelling the ball forward with the face of the spoon collecting the ball and popping it into the air. You will notice that performing these drills correctly, you will be pointing the club in the direction of the target in the back swing and you will be finishing with the club wanting to wrap around your neck. (This is similar to the old hitch hiker drill). Once you work these drills out, you will be performing the move you are teaching starting the downswing from the folding point. I perform these drills before each range session. It takes some work but it pays to get this right.
Hi Dan, love your method, it worked immediately, tried it in chipping and got lovely soft shots. Am I correct in using it in short shots. Jack
So great to hear!! Keep it up! Yes you can with short shots, you’re now using the bounce of the wedge for the first time
Good to see you back Dan. Great instruction as always.
Thanks, stay tuned for more! Been really busy building another business, trying to keep making vids for you all tho!
Another excellent explanation. So, you indicated to the student no shoulder turn back or through?
We don’t want to make Transverse (side to side) rotations. We turn up into a Frontal rotation all we want, pro golfers don’t really go side to side, unless the club pulls then there on the way thru..after impact. Hope that helps!
Hi from the UK, this is without doubt the best swing instruction video I’ve watched. I am hitting the ball first every time, gained 30 yards per club but I have a tendency to pull the ball 15 yards left. Am I closing the club too much or is there a common mistake I’m making? Thank you
So glad you’re having these results so quickly! The pulling issue: if it’s going straight left (not curving) you’re either aimed there with shoulders, club face is too closed, or you’re turning you shoulders that way while in middle of your swing.

Hope it helps!
@@danaltongolfinstruction thank you Dan, I’ve suffered with an open club face for years, a little pull feels fantastic 😀. I think my shoulders will be the issue. Thanks again
Believe it or not, this is an incredibly difficult move, for the high handle dragger (like me), not necessarily to do, but to trust fully to where you can do it consistently. This is exactly what my pro has me working on, and that I still screw the pooch on this 25% of the time just infuriates me. Either I do it perfectly (high, straight, long shots), over-involve the shoulders (left), or fail to throw it early enough or enough in general which causes the handle pull (block right).
Any drills/ideas, Dan....to build consistency in performing this critical move??
Yes, try this:
czcams.com/video/V8jc2F4LepQ/video.html
Or this:
czcams.com/video/VbUQohH1-A4/video.html
Both of these are anti-handle drag, anti should twist. Hope it helps, btw 25% bad is still pretty good - means you’re hitting 7.5/10 perfect, that great, keep it up!
Where are you located if I wanna come get lessons from you
Ok now I am confused looking at the other videos. One says to cast it down, one describes the fold point as being about club high in the downswing. I don’t get how they relate. Is it two separate ways of doing it? Also what is one good swing thought to keep this top of mind?
Some people feel it as a fold down, some as a cast out..point is, we’re not pulling toward the ball first. The crane doesn’t move with the wrecking ball! Hope that helps! Stay tuned for more, the more you watch the more you’ll get it and I’ll try to simplify as well! Thanks for watching!
One swing thought would be - send the wrecking ball out, to crash into the ball!
Looks good, wish I could pick it up as quick as she does. Just a question, maybe if she leaves trail foot on the ground longer, it may take away a little of her desire to get the shoulders involved to turn, just a thought. Anyway, really cool to see.
Leaving the trail foot down as long as possible is always a good thing to try and do, great observation and comment!
@@danaltongolfinstruction Thank you for the reply, I am sure she will grow out of it but also her trail shoulder is not going down, she kind of is shrugging her shoulders, keeping them up, especially the trail shoulder. That is JMHO, and I am sure it is from a carry over from previous habits. Really like what you are doing, and thanks.

Dan, any chance to get a video addressing the body reaction to the hands leading/driving the swing? Thanks
u and brian manzella teaching beautiful tumble move! oh and i forgot about Jack Nicklaus
Nicklaus did say, ‘you can’t release soon enough’ great call there!
Is her pre swing address/practice swing part of the process also to get the correct feel?
If so do you have video of instructing that part of it?
Yes that’s her move to feel the WIDTH of her swing because she used to pull the handle so badly.
Try these:

I have been using this hit the folding point swing for a while. Every now and then I will get a shank is that a result of the shoulders turning instead of folding under?
Yes! You’re turning your shoulders early and getting the Club off track and outside the ball. You got it!
What do you mean by pointing the left palm down , does that literally you are having your palm facing the ground on your realease?
Yes, left palm should anchor the club handle as you release the face thru…that will ensure the face doesn’t roll (hook) or the handle doesn’t just go thru (slice). Hope that helps!
I want to give this a shot on the range! This way is so much more simple it’s wild! Seems we have been misled by the entire golf community
i dont knwo if its the angle of the camera but it looks like your teaching her to hit so much out to in :O??
When I try this, I always hit pull hooks. Any idea why this could be?
Yes, if it starts off line, you’re turning/twisting shoulders on the way thru. If it’s sweeping/moving left, you’re rolling your hands. Here’s all the info you need:
czcams.com/video/6bobvj5tYe8/video.html
Hope it helps!
Is this for woods and drivers too?
Yes:

Love the swing,,,,but I need a SlowMo of the swing,,,,😊
I’ll try and learn some slo mo video editing
I dont get it when you said folding down. Meaning straight your arm?
Here is the answer to your question:

I absolutely love it, the simplicity of Swing the Club, Ernest Jones and Manuel de la Torre🏌🏼♂️. I really think that we, and I know I, over complicate the golf swing. Thank You for your videos, I have watched this one Over and Over🏌🏼♂️
Thanks for the support, glad it helps!
@@danaltongolfinstruction I just took this to XGOLF for a range session and you definitely get immediate feedback when the shoulders get involved and the ball goes left. But once I got my grip and setup right, couple rehearsal swings, then it was a nice tight draw with good impact. I tried a few driver swings but that was Definitely Very Ugly, will save for another day😎🏌🏼♂️
Lots of lifting in that swing. 😉
definitely not a swing for me. Too many moving parts..
All arms. Nō power The internet is full of horrible instruction
This is such old instruction, right out of the 1970's square to square method. It's *a* way, just not a very good way unless you want to be a range rat.
