- A couple of weeks ago, we put out a call for you all to submit videos of your swing for our Instruction Series. Ultimately, our goal is to help you improve your swing and create a plan for you to enjoy your golf game even more. For the first of four videos from the Instruction series, Erik Anders Lang and Dana Dahlquist, a top 100 swing coach who has worked with some of the world's best PGA and LPGA players, team up to give some tips and suggestions on how to add distance to your game. Thank you to everyone who submitted videos, and we hope that this video adds some yardage to your game!

Everyday I would drive off of 18 at Skylinks. Exhausted, frustrated, head spinning with a million different golf related things and there was Dana. Standing there in his spot...looking as cool, calm and collected as he does in this video. It would take me 10 years to figure out that is the mental attitude you need to play this game well. Thanks Dana. It's good to see you at El D. Hope you are enjoying it there.
So were not going to mention the hosel rocket at the beginning?!?!?!?!
Beginners rock! Keep up the good work
Seriously
great vid EAL. I've always wanted to get a lesson from Dana in the LBC. love the simplicity and conciseness of this.
Looks to be a great start to a new series.
Thanks Erik for putting this together.
I enjoyed this video, but as far as helping my swing speed it was useless.
Love these instructional videos. As always, great job!
I suffered from the c pivot myself. It was causeing me to hit fat shots and hurt my wrist. Worked with a coach to correct it and picked up alot of distance between hiting the ball better and learning to properly shift weight around. Love these in depth coach videos. Keep em coming
It is just me or is there just something majestic about Erik's swing? Like it is so satisfying to watch lol
I'm not going to lie. tried the little rock back and forward on my irons with trackman and legitimately added 3m carry to my 7 iron... i've never had that improvement from an youtube swing tip before! probably not for everyone but made a solid difference to me!
Dude your swing has come a long way since the first season of adventures in golf, not that it needed much improvement. Keep at it!
Dude, i love ur show. If i were to do a utube golf thing, this is how i would do it. U made golf look fun. Keep it up man!
Love the series!
Maybe another series featuring particular course designers, like Donald Ross Jr or someone a little less known but with a great footprint like Joe Lee?
Keep doing what you do and thanks for letting us tag along! Cheers and Vice!
Really enjoyed this
Looking forward to this series
We really enjoyed making this series. Hoping it helps people improve their games!
I second Jason’s Things’ comment! Some drills to run would be a godsend!
Level up your DRIVER distance.
Erik: Grabs a 6 iron.
?
It was an interesting video, but effectively useless.
Thanks for the music brah
Dana with that summit hat 🙌🏽🙌🏽
My only complaint about this video is I watched it AFTER my range session. Awesome tips to work on though!
I was hoping to see Cheyenne Woods' swing - little amateur vs. pro comparison. Great concept though really enjoyed this one. Impossible to have a bad video with Dana.
Hey RCG - "Chey-Anne" is my Wife- Cheynee (like Dick Cheney" - very keen to be the first - Husband & Wife combo, when you do a Australian breaking series.
Went to the range the other day and improved my swing by watching Erik and then practicing
A video dedicated to the flop shot would be great, it would be fun to watch jajajaja.
Would love a drill from Dana to help the problems you guys point out in the submissions!
THIS.
Erik do we need to talk about the TaylorMade glove on your hand where is the vice glove🤨
TM owned!
Krusher74 it’s a joke relax😂
Nice start to the series. I find that when I try to "bump" back to the right like Dana is demonstrating at the end I end up thinning and chunking at a lot higher percentage than if I really try and stay centered. It seems like we're adding a lot of back and forth by trying to make that much of a shift. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, or overdoing that move? Thoughts on this?
Try small, micro-adjustments first. It could be that you're overdoing the move. Keep us posted though!
I understood it as only a small amount of lateral direction back, then transitioning into a big twist to really gain momentum with as little as possible back and forth motion. I could be wrong though, and it sounds hard!
had the same thought. I watched a Rick Shiels about eliminating sway. This seems to promote it. I think there are a thousand ways to approach/coach a golf swing is what it comes down too.
Make sure you aren’t moving your head around. If it’s not moving then it’s probably just too much movement.
Paradiddle44 Yeah, I was playing around with it a little, and I think that’s the key... it’s not much of a move. The rotation is the real point. But, initially I feel like it puts me close to a reverse C, but again, it’s probably just the initial feeling.
You should bring that cap back!
Watching the latest RCG vid, before I have to get back to work.
Erik mentioned Shyain.
Then a video of my Mrs "Cheynee" (like Dick Cheney....Cheynee like Dick, yeah I get it, haha) pops up!
Thanks for the advice.
its like throwing a baseball. push off with your back leg to your front leg, open your hips, keep your hands back then fire through.
Maybe I'm just not following the instruction, but I'm really confused what Dana's talking about in regards to Kim's swing. He keeps mentioning that in her swing her pelvis is deficient, and then goes on to say she needs to rotate her pelvis more, but as far as I can tell it's really rotated. Could someone else who understands this a bit better explain this to me?
So from my understanding it's not really about not enough rotation around the hips/pelvis, but rather that Kim isn't bumping her weight back onto her trail leg enough. Based on the footage, when Kim has completed her backswing, her weight is probably a bit too evenly distributed between her lead and trail legs (this is what Dana means by "reverse pivot"). Thus, when she rotates through on the downswing she's gonna end up way ahead of the ball when she gets to a proper impact position. If you think about the golf swing as the club head traveling in an "arc" or circle around the body, she is shifting the circle forward by not bumping her weight onto her trail leg. You can read a bit more about it here: golfweek.usatoday.com/2004/05/15/reverse-pivot-golfs-version-poison/
It’s not really rotating it’s just shifting back. The center of her pelvis is moving too far off the ball. He mentions that in the video.
Ohhrrrrr
Whether your striking the ball thin...a little fat....
Pretty solid
I heard someone once watched the whole ad
AGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Hey
Hey
8 adverts in a 10 min video. CZcams is getting ridiculous.
I think that eastern coaches teach better and more clear. The only difficulty is their language.
Meh
