These are seriously good golf swings. In my opinion, these are exactly the kinds of swings that will make good professionals as they look repeatable and under control, and will not require hours on the range, time that can be spent on the scoring game. Sure, there are lots of non-standard swings out there making a living, but these look like actions with serious longevity. From a teaching point of view, Dan, do you have video of your best (in your opinion) before and after? These guys must have had pretty good swings when they showed up. What's the most improvement you have seen from an 'amateur'? pretty decent in 40 minutes

Magic. The freeze-frames at the end of the middle clip are great!

Dan, if you don't mind me asking, typically how long have these golfers spent with you between the before and after swings? And do you usually have 1 hour lessons or clinics with these students? To work on their issues, do you include drills that don't involve a ball?
Would you say that the pivot of most of these players is usually the aspect of their swings that needs most addressing, or other aspects such as alignment, hand/wrist/arm mechanics, etc?
Thanks, Teddy.

Dan,
As you get your students coming in on a more shallow plane do you reccommend that they flatten their clubs at all?

Thanks, Teddy. Most of the before and afters are one hour lessons. I would say I do more partial speed full swings than drills without a ball. As far are issues go it depends, some its their pivot and some their arms, many have problems with both.

1 hour? That's impressive... Do you find that when they come back to you they slip back into their old ways and need reminding?

Beautiful example of learning feel from mechanics in that last video.
BTW, I'm going to try and play Walkabout tomorrow.

I play 3º flat Dan, what would happen to the ball flight if you played with standard lie? And, after the shock compensations, what would happen to your swing? How important is club fitting in your teaching view? Thanks

If standard lie angles fit you there would be no issue. If it was too upright, face angle would be slightly closed and the ball would start more left. More loft the more exaggerated.

Not sure if Dan posted it here. But he's got a 1-day golf school with Dana Dahlquist on the 26th. Details will be over on the Golf swing folder, but you can post them here as well.
