Dana Dahlquist Addresses Misunderstandings and Misconceptions in the Golf Swing
About this episode
Dana Dahlquist is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and a Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Instructor. Recognized as one of the best on the Professional Golf, Dana's goal is to help players create swings that are functional and repeatable under pressure, not just swings that look good on camera on the driving range. Originally trained with a background in mechanics (MORAD specifically), his teaching has evolved to understand the forces players must apply to create the matchups needed in their swing.
Dana also works with Bryson DeChambeau and joins #OntheMark to set up the US Open and help you get a better understanding of how to build a dynamically stable and repeatable golf swing.
He takes a deep dive into technique as he discusses elements that a lot of golfers misundestand:
- Hitting Down in Contrast to Presenting Better Dynamic Loft for better Strikes and more Power
- How to effectively Make Changes for Consistency when embarking on Game Improvement Measures, and
- Managing Expectations and Setting Positive Timelines for Improvement.
As he elaborates on these important topics Dana talks about Ben Hogan, Mac O'Grady, Lee Trevino and Bryson DeChambeau. He also talks about game improvement's "Heirarchy of Needs" and how hitting the shot that is needed is better than hitting a good shot - as he uses Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as examples.
