I absolutely loved the humility of Xander, no ego on display. The simplicity of the explanations will enable golfers of all ability to follow the advice in their search for improvement. Great lesson.
Hi Danny , really look forward to your tips every Saturday, Watching Xander sharing his drivers thoughts was very interesting ( left heel, left shoulder high) great 11 minute video
Congratulations for having Xander as a guest. As a smaller player, I appreciated his tips, especially how he keeps his arms relaxed and his swing less mechanical.
I am 70 years old and have benefitted greatly from all of the Danny Maude videos and practice plans. As usual, this video is excellent but even more so thanks to Xander Schauffele. Really enjoyed watching him and listening to his perspective. He is one of those "nice guys" on the tour that me and many of my fellow golfers root for every single week. Thanks very much, gents !!
Thanks Danny, at 77 I thought my best years were behind me but your weekly lessons always give me something to work on. Had an op for prostate cancer last year, all clear now, so looking forward to next season and getting my handicap of 16.6 down to a respectable level. Great, simple ideas from Xander. Need to get off to the range to work on them. Thanks again Danny. Happy New year
Xander talks as chilled out as he plays and appears on the TV. Just found your channel in the past few days Danny and with your drills and tips that Ive been watching, its given me the urge to go out and play golf again. Its been 4 years or so but these videos have really got me excited to get down the range and carry out your drills, especially the driver and distance ones, which is something that I always lacked, thank you
Danny, this shows how respected you are to get a major champion like Xander to come on to your channel and give his valuable advice in such a simple way. Videos like this are absolutely priceless. So many little changes can make a big difference to anyone’s game. Thank you again.
Danny. Maude continues to impress his followers with not only his advice, but to bring in a major winner showing simple tips we can use in our own games. Have been following Danny for a few years and share his videos with friends. Thank you for continuing to help us with our games.
I just turned 80 a few days ago and decided to move up the the "ladies" tees, which I now have dubbed the "eighties" tees. This has allowed me the potential to reach more greens in regulation and I am enjoying the game much more. I didn't start playing golf until I was 54, so I did not have the advantage of establishing a swing in my younger years. I have been watching and learning much from Danny's videos for a few years and he has really helped my game. Two most important lessons I've learned from Danny is that the golf swing is a CIRCLE and that it is necessary to find and hit the LOW POINT of the swing in front of the ball (for all clubs except driver). The graphics in Danny's videos that show the swing arc and other helpful mechanics are invaluable to really seeing how the swing works properly. I also appreciate Danny's videos that include other golf experts such as Xander. The fact that these expert coaches and players are willing to participate in Danny's videos is a terrific testament to Danny's abilities and teaching methods. The fact that Danny now has closer to 1.5 million subscribers also reflects his enormous popularity and effectiveness as a golf coach. Congratulations to Danny on his success!
Danny, you're the only person on TH-cam that I watch for tips as a new golfer. To have Xander on your channel just cements how great of a teacher you are. Your teachings make the most sense to me, and I know there are many others that think the same. Awesome vid.
Danny I and 69 yo and gave up golf for 10 yrs due to swing flaws. Two yrs ago I was talked into playing again. Soon after I found you online and my whole swing has now been revamped with instruction from you and your incredible guests like Xander and Pete. My ball strike, flight and short game have all improved directly from your guidance. I'm playing the best in my life and can't wait to get back on the course once again! Thank you very much. You are a clear standout videographer and teacher of the swing.
Refreshing hearing a Tour Pro being honest about his game. He knows his limitations, he admits there’s multiple other guys on the tour that can hit it further. It’s also amazing to hear how he changes his swing so much to gain more yardage off the tee. Great channel, keep up the good work.
I think I’ve been following Danny Maude and telling anyone who needed golf advise about his clear simple instruction since he had maybe 60 or 80k followers. Encouraging to see that concise clear language has grown his subscriber base so astronomically! What a bonus to have Xander on the channel!
Danny Thanks, for not being over technical and showing me how to keep the movements natural. I also appreciate you bringing Xander to us all. You are both a delight to learn from.
Xander has been one of my favorite golfers for years. Being of Japanese descent, I feel a kinship to his Japanese ancestry and was excited when he won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. How a person of his stature can also hit the ball as far as he does is awesome, and inspires me to work on those setup tips. Thanks Danny! 👍🏽🏌️♂️⛳️
The hints from Xander are simple as well as informative. I tried them and was surprised that after some time practicing I was able to get more distance and control. Danny's help over the last few years is also priceless, thank you tremendously for all your help.
I love the left foot lift in the backswing shown here. If any of my friends give me grief about me doing that in my own swing, i'll refer them back to this video. Thanks Xander and Danny.
Really enjoy all your videos but the latest with Xander just demonstrates why you are obviously so well liked for your golf instruction. Your approach to teaching is is very easy to understand and that comes across when listening to both of you on this occasion. I have watched a load of golf videos, not a ridiculous amount, but enough to know that in my opinion you are so much more relatable than anybody I have seen. Keep up the good work and thank you for your enthusiasm.👍
I have been watching your coaching for years now. It is great to see Xander swing and how he sets up for driver. Thanks for improving my game. I refer your videos to everyone who is trying to improve or is just starting. I enjoy your videos
What I find amazing with all of your videos Danny is that you can impart so much information with one or two simple tips. I never feel overwhelmed - and your tips always work!! Thank you.
I have been playing now for 2 years and love your videos, my go to 'coach'. But it's lovely when you have guests and having a champion like Xander giving advice is fantastic. Giving great tips to achieve accuracy and distance. Thank you
Love the videos Danny. Interesting to see Xander re-enforcing a couple of your tips; lifting his lead foot and using a reference spot (I think you used an imaginary rectangle) in the same way you suggested on a previous video, it has certainly helped a senior like myself! Thanks gents
I have followed your videos recently and really appreciate how clear and concise they all are. Whilst watching Xander's video, I was surprised at the simplicity to his driver swing and how he can change it depending on the shot he wants to play. The excessively high left shoulder is a great tip for the right circumstances. Great work, thanks.
I loved the fact, how simple the tips were from Zander, especially moving the left shoulder higher to hit a longer driver, and also how Zander came across as genuinely a really down to earth gent.
Hi Danny - thanks so much for all the help you provide. Watching the video with Xander I noticed a couple of interesting things. Firsr was the width of his stance which seemed to be a little wider than the standard shoulder width. I can see where that may provide a bit more stability and help stop any swaying in the back swing. The brief discussion about the lifting of the left heal and making sure that the knee is not just bent forward which seemed to help improve the quality of the back swing. Another point was the idea of opening the club face in relation to the aiming spot. Focusing on that can help be more consistant. Lastly the discussion about clearing the 300 yard sand trap - although as a 78 year old i would over joyed to be able to even reach the 300 yard sand trap - at my home course there is a cluster of sand traps on one hole about 200 yards out and the technique he outlined gives me hope. Thanks again your insigt is much appreciated!
Great to see this. Can't believe how simple it all looks. At the same time he understands his body position and movement far better than most of us. Really appreciate this.
Danny, I always learn from you relatable teaching methods. You make me feel like my game is never hopeless, but a pursuit to make golf more enjoyable and easier. X is my favorite player. He is also relatable and humble. Also, X makes watching him play an honor to support him. Thank you both Stacy
What more can I say...Another superb lesson that I can trust and use to improve, delivered with Xander Schauffele no less!!! Such a humble guy combined with 100% authenticity =Perfect! Keep up the great work, Many thanks Danny 👍.
I used to play golf with my Grandad when I was just 8 years old, but never saw much interest. Now I am addicted, and these videos help me very much. Seriously good stuff Danny. 👍❤
I was surprised to see how simple Xander's swing is. No re-routing of the club, easy natural tempo. Sounds like what Danny preaches each week! Great practical lesson.
It's great to see someone at the top of his game willingly taking time to discuss how he does things. Even though we are everyday day ordinary golfers the process of learning and improving is the same. Only the time spent in practice is different and that makes a difference, Many thanks to Xander for giving us of his time. Appreciate his advice.
One of the coolest guys on tour. No drama, no acting up when things go wrong. Just super professional hard working guy. Much love Xander and thank you for making me think I could carry 300 😀❤
I love the simplicity of his tips and the fact that you, Danny, even go farther in asking him to demonstrate and show us the tip before his swing. I hope to employ these on the course very soon.
I think the best part was how chill X is...a two time major champion talking about the limitations of his swing while giving props to Rory. Really cool.
I enjoy watching Xander's golf swing. How he triggers and sets his process in a simplified way. He seems down to "earth" and willing to share his knowledge and experience. Thank you Danny I enjoy watching your instruction.
I’ll join the chorus of admiration and awe. I love seeing and hearing Xander’s humanity as a regular guy with awesome skills and how little moves can make big differences. Thank you Danny for sharing this with us.
Thanks Danny and Xander for showing simple ways for us to continue to try to improve our game! I so appreciate that it doesn’t have to be complex and difficult!
Loved hearing how a shorter golfer, like myself had found finding his own personal adjustments to be able to compete with taller players. Also liked Xander’s sincerity and candor. Thank you both.
Loved Xander’s humility and ease … just a few simple swing thoughts working with what he’s got, keeping it loose and focused on natural feels. Lots to learn from this, loved it
Xander is so down to earth, listening and watching his techniques drives home the need to not over complicate things when you're standing on the tee box. And thank you Danny for your videos which have improved my game.
Thanks Danny and Xander! So great to see Xander, always such a pleasant and apparently calm demeanor, being kind enough to take the time to help us mere mortals. It has been fun to watch him rise to the top over the years, always seems humble as in today's video. Thanks to you, Danny, for making the game much easier to learn. You have helped me, and clearly many others, to improve our games with easy to understand drills. I just wish that I had your help 25 years ago when I took up the game in my early fifties. My game has become much more consistent thanks to you!
Picking a spot just 5 feet ahead from the ball and lining up to it has made such a big difference to my game. The accuracy has improved massively. Great videos. Thanks.
I will be 70 in May of this year. I still play off a single figure h/c (6.4) I really enjoyed this video with Xander. The techniques described were very relatable. Xander showed that although he may not be as tall as some of the longest hitters on tour he can adapt his swing and setup to allow him to perform to the very highest standards. Thanks Danny for bring this sort of very easy to understand and hopefull implementable content to us.
The tip that Xander gave on raising the left shoulder, invaluable as I was trying to find a better way of hitting up on the driver, this makes it so much easier.
Great video. Danny, you have just elevated your already excellent teaching skills by bringing in a pro like Xander who is such a solid fierce competitor and always a pleasure to watch. Listening to him differentiate his swing from other pros and making the subtle changes necessary for different results was the icing on the cake. More of these please.
Danny and Xander, you guys were great, humble and kind. I was very impressed by you both. Thanks for sharing the shoulder lift versus get into a bad position.
Love seeing Xander on your channel - my coach and I are big fans! And now I have a couple of good videos of his swing. My 65 yr old body won’t be able to pull it off but it’s a joy to watch and maybe it’ll give me a little something as I start my second year golfing! Thanks Danny!
Awesome lesson with Xander. Especially like that he doesn't tell us to hit certain positions throughout the swing and shares his thought process. Danny, your videos are always excellent, this one was over the top!
Love to hear the simplicity in explanation from a professional major winner. The average golfer is riddled with swing thoughts prior to hitting the ball, clearly we need to take note….. keep it simple & don’t overthink. Great blog Danny!
So good to hear an esteemed professional talk so honestly about his swing. It also shows that like him, we all have our own swing, and that tips like this ( and all your others) can aid us in getting the best out of that swing.
I’m 71 from the states but I live in a golf haven, Portugal. So I have so enjoyed your videos for years . I love your style and I think you are one of the best doing this Thanks so much mate KEEP IT UP!!!!
Seeing an average size guy like Xander crush it 300+ yards gives me great hope! Love how effortless his swing is. Thanks for sharing this video and all of your amazing tips each week. Your teaching methods and focus on the fundamentals are second to none. Thanks a mil!
Great to see this channel growing and teaming up with big names in golf. Xander makes hitting a drive look so effortless. His thought process along with valuable advice inspires confidence. It not only looks simple but also sounds simple. Invaluable. Well done Danny and keep up the good work!
Another great no nonsense video by not only a very popular coach for his attitude and approach to simplifying the golf swing but add in a 2 time major champion and the message gets through even louder and clearer. Thanks guys!
I've been following Danny for about 5 years and find his style of teaching friendly and entertaining. I'm 76 years old and play off a handicap of 23. I particularly like when Danny has a guest on the channel, especially his father. Having Xander on the channel giving his advice on playing the driver is very consistent with what Danny teachers and tries to impart to golfers of all abilities. Well done Danny.
Thanks Danny, I've been watching you for about 3 years now and you have really helped my game. I started playing about 6 years ago and in the last year and a half I've hit my age or better 5 times. Being 82 helps a little so I don't have to get around par.
Danny Maude is indeed a gem in the golfing world! Dannys ability to break down complex techniques into simple, actionable tips is truly remarkable. I have been following Danny for 5 years and share his knowledge with friends. Dannys passion for the game and dedication to helping others improve is truly inspiring. We should all Keep enjoying and improving Dannys' love for the game! And thank you for sharing the great tips from Xander. I know I will keep watching!
What a treat. What I really enjoy about listening to professional golfers is how they are able to make small modifications to setup to adjust ball flight to hold circumstances.
I love the fact that Xander talks about the change in ball position for fade or driver off the tee based on the arc of his swing. It’s something I started incorporating this year based on Danny’s video’s in order to shape the ball a bit more! Awesome video Danny!
Another great video. My thanks to Danny and Xander. Love the way he loads up without putting too much stress on the swing itself. Naturally strong but smooth movement throughout the swing. Can't wait to get out and take a couple of cuts with this. BTW, after watching Danny's videos and working through my swing in the back yard, I shot my best round in years just yesterday. I'm 70 yo and shot like I was 35-40. It's okay for you young guys to chuckle. I would've too at that age. My hope is that you live long enough to say that and experience my excitement from yesterday's round. Danny's put the fun back in golf for me. Thanks Danny!!
Xander is incredibly down to earth. Keeping things simple is the best advice especially for a newbie like me. Proper set up cures a lot of problems. Thanks for the great video Danny and Xander
I am a 75 year old grandmother enjoying playing with my 14 year old grandson. Your tips have helped us both! Love this video with Zander! Thank you for all you do Danny!
Gotta say Danny , I’m so glad you’ve had the chance to team up with Xander , you have such a good way of teaching and xander has the same mannerisms , I bet you both learned from each other
Danny I loved the way you conducted that demonstration. You facilitated what Xander was there to demonstrate but you didn't need to impress him or us by reiterating how everything he was saying aligns with your own approach. I'm a subscriber and I've learned a lot from your videos. Your approach to teaching is straightforward and really easy to follow. Thanks for everything!
Great to see you having people of Xander's calibre on the channel, yet another video without tonnes of noise and just simple instruction people can use to see if fits their swings!
Danny, I watch your videos religiously as I think they are awesome - simple, easy-to-follow instructions which I have tried to adopt. Today, watching and listening to Xander, was extra special. What a neat guy to take the time to do this. I love that he is so down to earth and, again, explains things so clearly. Thank you
Enjoyed this video as usual, and will be taking this to the range this week. I am a 63 year old golfer who has seen a decrease in distance over the last few years, so these tips from Xander may help me get back some of what has been lost. I have been researching the latest drivers and technologies available, as my current driver, a Callaway Big Bertha Titanium 454 is about 18 years old and has developed a “rattle “ inside. Always pick up knowledge from your videos, never over complicated.
Wow what a great video, Xander says and shows it in such an uncomplicated way….as you do as well Danny. Thank you to you both!! (I’ve only been playing just over a year, a lady golfer in my late 50’s….. I have become completely hooked and love it!) Thanks again Danny & Xander for keeping it all easy and simple to understand! 🏌️♀️👏👏
I appreciate Xander sharing his thought process on hitting driver. Taking the time to explain why he lifts his lead shoulder. He is just so efficient with his ball striking thank you for having him on the channel. !
I really appreciate and benefit from all your videos Danny! You and Xander are so open about pointing out the subtle small things that are so important. Awesome job!! And Xander show how nice and caring he is in his conversing with you. Thank you.
Thanks as always Danny! I appreciated that you were asking Xander clarifying questions on behalf of the viewers which helped to bring out his approach. I also liked how Xander pointed out that his actions are because of his particular style, ie. "They work for me" instead of everyone trying to have the "perfect" swing all the same.
I fully understand ramping up my back swing, I also was a slow back swinger. After reading and watching videos this definitely helped me when teeing off. I like the idea of getting pumped up and relaxing the fore arms. I've only been golfing for really 8 months now and continuing to learn and put into practice the advice training I watch and see has helped me get more into the sport. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep rewatching previous ones!!
Always watch your Chanel Danny but this helped me out as I’m not a tall guy and the simple way Zander explained his technique in hitting it longer made so much sense. Funny how watching something simple just sinks in. Your teaching videos over the years has help me and I’m sure so many others over the years. Thank you.
Mr. M, you are a born communicator and a wonderful teacher. The simplicity of your lessons makes it easy to take them to the golf course. I loved the work you did with your father.
I'm 65 YO Been only playing for 18 months. I'm a golf tragic I'm hooked I play 3-4 times a week. Still not confident but your channel has helped me improve my game. Xander as I am short so his tips are reassuring.😅Danny you were the first I followed in my journey and the only one I listened too. Thankyou From an Aussie follower🏌️♂️⛳️😍
I have only been golfing two summers so I have so much to learn but I appreciated Xander’s honesty about his own obstacles and how he works to overcome those. He just spoke like he was helping a friend.
Xander may be my new favorite golfer! I love his simple approach to making slight adjustments for different shots. He seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. Thank you, Danny!
The most enjoyment is your Scottish accent, just love it. The most informative is how you covered the interview and the tips and tricks of smashing a drive and keeping control of not only yourself but of the ball flight as well. Mr Schauffele is a perfect example of where you don't have to be a 6 foot or more athlete type person to hit well and play well in golf. I am 63 and because of your channel I have made leaps and bounds in my golf game. Thank you for all you do.
I am 78 years old and have played since I was 12. I am a 10 but still looking for the swing that hits it straight, crisp and reasonably far. I love the simplicity of Danny's explanations and seeing something like Xander just raise a shoulder to get height goes right along with Danny's teaching. I have also watched Danny's lesson with Pete Cowan about 4 times. Thanks for all the help.
I really love how these tips from Zander are reasonably consistent with the teachings that Danny has been sharing throughout his videos. It really helps to keep things simple, not adding more ideas and thoughts. Thank you for this great video!
Self awareness of your swing mechanics and how different small changes affect the moment of impact is key. Thank you Danny for trying to keep it simple for us!
Thank you Danny, listening to Xander discuss his methods for hitting off the tee especially his technique for relaxing his arms will help me. Fighting tension in my arms is the #1 issue I have. Keep up the great work.
As usual, great video Danny, loved the way Xander explained his swing and subtle changes he makes, especially the left heel, which is a good tip for us older golfers. Xander seemed so relaxed and seems such a genuine and kind person.
Amazing video. When a major champion and class act is basically saying things YOU'VE been saying for years, you just know that all your advice has been solid and legitimate. Thanks Danny!!
I am 65 and newly retired. I've enjoyed watching videos from you Danny during the past year. Your explanations are extremely helpful to put into practice. I greatly enjoyed seeing Xander today. His height and stature is relatable and he can still pound the ball a mile. His swing appears very doable and pendulum-like. Beautiful and smooth. His guidance on set up was also very simple to understand. I am looking forward in putting this into my next practice session.
I have used advice from only a handful of TH-cam Pros in my (short) golf career and Danny is one of them. His simple way of explaining the golf swing has helped me make great progress. Thank you, Danny, for bringing advice from some of the greatest golfers and golf coaches straight to us!
Loved Xander on feeling "free" when he hits a driver. I'm the same way. You get to tee the ball up, for starters. And how he gets himself pumped up to take a rip. I do too, but can't stripe it like he does. Keep them coming Danny...
Loved seeing the way Xander sets his left shoulder so high to get much more shoulder tilt than I realised. Xander seems to have a very simple and honest approach to his driver swing.
This is what I want to see more in videos like this! With the millions of swing thoughts we amateurs are trying to limit to a couple in our round, I love listening to what goes through these tour players’ minds. Tons of good nuggets from Xander. Great stuff!!
When you have a major champion offering tips, you have to sit and listen, absolutely priceless. Working on the left heel so great to see
It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with him
@DanielMaude keep up the great work,
Must be a dream come true. Fully deserved for all the help you have given us with your tips over the years
Very informative Danny as all your videos are. Keep up the good work 🏌⛳️
Enjoyed the tips about taking tension out of the swing
Love your stuff. You always keep it simple!
I absolutely loved the humility of Xander, no ego on display. The simplicity of the explanations will enable golfers of all ability to follow the advice in their search for improvement. Great lesson.
Xander’s humility is exemplified by the fact he was willing to join Danny. Both great guys and the tips are astronomical to improving the game.
Hi Danny , really look forward to your tips every Saturday,
Watching Xander sharing his drivers thoughts was very interesting ( left heel, left shoulder high) great 11 minute video
Congratulations for having Xander as a guest. As a smaller player, I appreciated his tips, especially how he keeps his arms relaxed and his swing less mechanical.
I loved how simply and humbly Xander walks through his process. He makes it very relatable.
Super simple isn’t it
@@DanielMaude Simple, yes. Easy? Nope.

Had an op for prostate cancer last year, all clear now, so looking forward to next season and getting my handicap of 16.6 down to a respectable level. Great, simple ideas from Xander.

Xander has been one of my favorite golfers for years. Being of Japanese descent, I feel a kinship to his Japanese ancestry and was excited when he won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
How a person of his stature can also hit the ball as far as he does is awesome, and inspires me to work on those setup tips.
Thanks Danny! 👍🏽🏌️♂️⛳️

Lastly the discussion about clearing the 300 yard sand trap - although as a 78 year old i would over joyed to be able to even reach the 300 yard sand trap - at my home course there is a cluster of sand traps on one hole about 200 yards out and the technique he outlined gives me hope. Thanks again your insigt is much appreciated!
Great to see this. Can't believe how simple it all looks. At the same time he understands his body position and movement far better than most of us. Really appreciate this.
Danny, I always learn from you relatable teaching methods. You make me feel like my game is never hopeless, but a pursuit to make golf more enjoyable and easier.
X is my favorite player. He is also relatable and humble. Also, X makes watching him play an honor to support him.
Thank you both
Stacy
What more can I say...Another superb lesson that I can trust and use to improve, delivered with Xander Schauffele no less!!! Such a humble guy combined with 100% authenticity =Perfect!
Keep up the great work, Many thanks Danny 👍.
The tips you give with your Dad or videographer are as valuable as the ones you share with a major champion. Priceless channel and content!
I used to play golf with my Grandad when I was just 8 years old, but never saw much interest. Now I am addicted, and these videos help me very much. Seriously good stuff Danny. 👍❤
I was surprised to see how simple Xander's swing is. No re-routing of the club, easy natural tempo. Sounds like what Danny preaches each week! Great practical lesson.
It's great to see someone at the top of his game willingly taking time to discuss how he does things. Even though we are everyday day ordinary golfers the process of learning and improving is the same. Only the time spent in practice is different and that makes a difference, Many thanks to Xander for giving us of his time. Appreciate his advice.
One of the coolest guys on tour. No drama, no acting up when things go wrong. Just super professional hard working guy. Much love Xander and thank you for making me think I could carry 300 😀❤
I love the simplicity of his tips and the fact that you, Danny, even go farther in asking him to demonstrate and show us the tip before his swing. I hope to employ these on the course very soon.
I think the best part was how chill X is...a two time major champion talking about the limitations of his swing while giving props to Rory. Really cool.
I enjoy watching Xander's golf swing. How he triggers and sets his process in a simplified way. He seems down to "earth" and willing to share his knowledge and experience. Thank you Danny I enjoy watching your instruction.
I’ll join the chorus of admiration and awe. I love seeing and hearing Xander’s humanity as a regular guy with awesome skills and how little moves can make big differences. Thank you Danny for sharing this with us.
You are very welcome Jim
Just retired and have stated golfing. Danny's channel is one of my favorites. His enthusiasm and practical approach have been very helpful.
Thanks Danny and Xander for showing simple ways for us to continue to try to improve our game! I so appreciate that it doesn’t have to be complex and difficult!
Loved hearing how a shorter golfer, like myself had found finding his own personal adjustments to be able to compete with taller players. Also liked Xander’s sincerity and candor. Thank you both.
Loved Xander’s humility and ease … just a few simple swing thoughts working with what he’s got, keeping it loose and focused on natural feels. Lots to learn from this, loved it
Xander is so down to earth, listening and watching his techniques drives home the need to not over complicate things when you're standing on the tee box. And thank you Danny for your videos which have improved my game.
Thanks Danny and Xander! So great to see Xander, always such a pleasant and apparently calm demeanor, being kind enough to take the time to help us mere mortals. It has been fun to watch him rise to the top over the years, always seems humble as in today's video.
Thanks to you, Danny, for making the game much easier to learn. You have helped me, and clearly many others, to improve our games with easy to understand drills. I just wish that I had your help 25 years ago when I took up the game in my early fifties. My game has become much more consistent thanks to you!
So great to see Xander sharing his thought process on hitting driver. He is one of my favorite players on tour.
Picking a spot just 5 feet ahead from the ball and lining up to it has made such a big difference to my game. The accuracy has improved massively. Great videos. Thanks.
I will be 70 in May of this year. I still play off a single figure h/c (6.4) I really enjoyed this video with Xander. The techniques described were very relatable. Xander showed that although he may not be as tall as some of the longest hitters on tour he can adapt his swing and setup to allow him to perform to the very highest standards. Thanks Danny for bring this sort of very easy to understand and hopefull implementable content to us.
The tip that Xander gave on raising the left shoulder, invaluable as I was trying to find a better way of hitting up on the driver, this makes it so much easier.
I enjoyed Xander casually sharing the adjustments he makes for his body and his natural tendencies and mechanics. Very informative. Thanks to both.
Great video. Danny, you have just elevated your already excellent teaching skills by bringing in a pro like Xander who is such a solid fierce competitor and always a pleasure to watch. Listening to him differentiate his swing from other pros and making the subtle changes necessary for different results was the icing on the cake. More of these please.
Danny and Xander, you guys were great, humble and kind. I was very impressed by you both. Thanks for sharing the shoulder lift versus get into a bad position.
Love seeing Xander on your channel - my coach and I are big fans! And now I have a couple of good videos of his swing. My 65 yr old body won’t be able to pull it off but it’s a joy to watch and maybe it’ll give me a little something as I start my second year golfing! Thanks Danny!
Awesome lesson with Xander. Especially like that he doesn't tell us to hit certain positions throughout the swing and shares his thought process. Danny, your videos are always excellent, this one was over the top!
Love to hear the simplicity in explanation from a professional major winner. The average golfer is riddled with swing thoughts prior to hitting the ball, clearly we need to take note….. keep it simple & don’t overthink. Great blog Danny!
So good to hear an esteemed professional talk so honestly about his swing. It also shows that like him, we all have our own swing, and that tips like this ( and all your others) can aid us in getting the best out of that swing.
Thank you Marc
I’m 71 from the states but I live in a golf haven, Portugal.
So I have so enjoyed your videos for years .
I love your style and I think you are one of the best doing this
Thanks so much mate
KEEP IT UP!!!!
Seeing an average size guy like Xander crush it 300+ yards gives me great hope! Love how effortless his swing is. Thanks for sharing this video and all of your amazing tips each week. Your teaching methods and focus on the fundamentals are second to none. Thanks a mil!
Great to see this channel growing and teaming up with big names in golf. Xander makes hitting a drive look so effortless. His thought process along with valuable advice inspires confidence. It not only looks simple but also sounds simple. Invaluable. Well done Danny and keep up the good work!
Another great no nonsense video by not only a very popular coach for his attitude and approach to simplifying the golf swing but add in a 2 time major champion and the message gets through even louder and clearer. Thanks guys!
I've been following Danny for about 5 years and find his style of teaching friendly and entertaining. I'm 76 years old and play off a handicap of 23. I particularly like when Danny has a guest on the channel, especially his father. Having Xander on the channel giving his advice on playing the driver is very consistent with what Danny teachers and tries to impart to golfers of all abilities. Well done Danny.
Thanks Danny, I've been watching you for about 3 years now and you have really helped my game. I started playing about 6 years ago and in the last year and a half I've hit my age or better 5 times.
Being 82 helps a little so I don't have to get around par.
Danny Maude is indeed a gem in the golfing world! Dannys ability to break down complex techniques into simple, actionable tips is truly remarkable. I have been following Danny for 5 years and share his knowledge with friends. Dannys passion for the game and dedication to helping others improve is truly inspiring. We should all Keep enjoying and improving Dannys' love for the game! And thank you for sharing the great tips from Xander. I know I will keep watching!
What a treat. What I really enjoy about listening to professional golfers is how they are able to make small modifications to setup to adjust ball flight to hold circumstances.
I love the fact that Xander talks about the change in ball position for fade or driver off the tee based on the arc of his swing. It’s something I started incorporating this year based on Danny’s video’s in order to shape the ball a bit more! Awesome video Danny!
Another great video. My thanks to Danny and Xander. Love the way he loads up without putting too much stress on the swing itself. Naturally strong but smooth movement throughout the swing. Can't wait to get out and take a couple of cuts with this. BTW, after watching Danny's videos and working through my swing in the back yard, I shot my best round in years just yesterday. I'm 70 yo and shot like I was 35-40. It's okay for you young guys to chuckle. I would've too at that age. My hope is that you live long enough to say that and experience my excitement from yesterday's round. Danny's put the fun back in golf for me. Thanks Danny!!
Xander is incredibly down to earth. Keeping things simple is the best advice especially for a newbie like me. Proper set up cures a lot of problems. Thanks for the great video Danny and Xander
I am a 75 year old grandmother enjoying playing with my 14 year old grandson. Your tips have helped us both! Love this video with Zander! Thank you for all you do Danny!
Gotta say Danny , I’m so glad you’ve had the chance to team up with Xander , you have such a good way of teaching and xander has the same mannerisms , I bet you both learned from each other
Danny I loved the way you conducted that demonstration. You facilitated what Xander was there to demonstrate but you didn't need to impress him or us by reiterating how everything he was saying aligns with your own approach. I'm a subscriber and I've learned a lot from your videos. Your approach to teaching is straightforward and really easy to follow. Thanks for everything!
Great to see you having people of Xander's calibre on the channel, yet another video without tonnes of noise and just simple instruction people can use to see if fits their swings!
It's great that someone like Xander is happy to share tips. As an older golfer, I wish I'd had videos like this when I was younger.
Danny, I watch your videos religiously as I think they are awesome - simple, easy-to-follow instructions which I have tried to adopt. Today, watching and listening to Xander, was extra special. What a neat guy to take the time to do this. I love that he is so down to earth and, again, explains things so clearly. Thank you
Enjoyed this video as usual, and will be taking this to the range this week. I am a 63 year old golfer who has seen a decrease in distance over the last few years, so these tips from Xander may help me get back some of what has been lost. I have been researching the latest drivers and technologies available, as my current driver, a Callaway Big Bertha Titanium 454 is about 18 years old and has developed a “rattle “ inside. Always pick up knowledge from your videos, never over complicated.
Wow what a great video, Xander says and shows it in such an uncomplicated way….as you do as well Danny. Thank you to you both!! (I’ve only been playing just over a year, a lady golfer in my late 50’s….. I have become completely hooked and love it!)
Thanks again Danny & Xander for keeping it all easy and simple to understand! 🏌️♀️👏👏
I appreciate Xander sharing his thought process on hitting driver. Taking the time to explain why he lifts his lead shoulder. He is just so efficient with his ball striking thank you for having him on the channel. !
I really appreciate and benefit from all your videos Danny! You and Xander are so open about pointing out the subtle small things that are so important. Awesome job!! And Xander show how nice and caring he is in his conversing with you. Thank you.
Thanks as always Danny! I appreciated that you were asking Xander clarifying questions on behalf of the viewers which helped to bring out his approach. I also liked how Xander pointed out that his actions are because of his particular style, ie. "They work for me" instead of everyone trying to have the "perfect" swing all the same.
I fully understand ramping up my back swing, I also was a slow back swinger. After reading and watching videos this definitely helped me when teeing off. I like the idea of getting pumped up and relaxing the fore arms. I've only been golfing for really 8 months now and continuing to learn and put into practice the advice training I watch and see has helped me get more into the sport. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep rewatching previous ones!!
Always watch your Chanel Danny but this helped me out as I’m not a tall guy and the simple way Zander explained his technique in hitting it longer made so much sense. Funny how watching something simple just sinks in. Your teaching videos over the years has help me and I’m sure so many others over the years. Thank you.
Mr. M, you are a born communicator and a wonderful teacher. The simplicity of your lessons makes it easy to take them to the golf course. I loved the work you did with your father.
I'm 65 YO Been only playing for 18 months. I'm a golf tragic I'm hooked I play 3-4 times a week. Still not confident but your channel has helped me improve my game. Xander as I am short so his tips are reassuring.😅Danny you were the first I followed in my journey and the only one I listened too. Thankyou From an Aussie follower🏌️♂️⛳️😍
I have only been golfing two summers so I have so much to learn but I appreciated Xander’s honesty about his own obstacles and how he works to overcome those. He just spoke like he was helping a friend.
Xander may be my new favorite golfer! I love his simple approach to making slight adjustments for different shots. He seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. Thank you, Danny!
The most enjoyment is your Scottish accent, just love it. The most informative is how you covered the interview and the tips and tricks of smashing a drive and keeping control of not only yourself but of the ball flight as well. Mr Schauffele is a perfect example of where you don't have to be a 6 foot or more athlete type person to hit well and play well in golf. I am 63 and because of your channel I have made leaps and bounds in my golf game. Thank you for all you do.
I am 78 years old and have played since I was 12. I am a 10 but still looking for the swing that hits it straight, crisp and reasonably far. I love the simplicity of Danny's explanations and seeing something like Xander just raise a shoulder to get height goes right along with Danny's teaching. I have also watched Danny's lesson with Pete Cowan about 4 times. Thanks for all the help.
Xander is so down to earth as a person it was so easy to listen to. Great video.
He was brilliant all week
I really love how these tips from Zander are reasonably consistent with the teachings that Danny has been sharing throughout his videos. It really helps to keep things simple, not adding more ideas and thoughts. Thank you for this great video!
Self awareness of your swing mechanics and how different small changes affect the moment of impact is key. Thank you Danny for trying to keep it simple for us!
Thank you Danny, listening to Xander discuss his methods for hitting off the tee especially his technique for relaxing his arms will help me. Fighting tension in my arms is the #1 issue I have. Keep up the great work.
As usual, great video Danny, loved the way Xander explained his swing and subtle changes he makes, especially the left heel, which is a good tip for us older golfers. Xander seemed so relaxed and seems such a genuine and kind person.
Amazing video. When a major champion and class act is basically saying things YOU'VE been saying for years, you just know that all your advice has been solid and legitimate. Thanks Danny!!
Xander is a gem, and Danny- so appreciate your clear insights on a game that can be so complicated. You two are the very best in golf! Thank you
I am 65 and newly retired. I've enjoyed watching videos from you Danny during the past year. Your explanations are extremely helpful to put into practice. I greatly enjoyed seeing Xander today. His height and stature is relatable and he can still pound the ball a mile. His swing appears very doable and pendulum-like. Beautiful and smooth. His guidance on set up was also very simple to understand. I am looking forward in putting this into my next practice session.
I have used advice from only a handful of TH-cam Pros in my (short) golf career and Danny is one of them. His simple way of explaining the golf swing has helped me make great progress. Thank you, Danny, for bringing advice from some of the greatest golfers and golf coaches straight to us!
Loved Xander on feeling "free" when he hits a driver. I'm the same way. You get to tee the ball up, for starters. And how he gets himself pumped up to take a rip. I do too, but can't stripe it like he does. Keep them coming Danny...
Loved seeing the way Xander sets his left shoulder so high to get much more shoulder tilt than I realised.
Xander seems to have a very simple and honest approach to his driver swing.
This is what I want to see more in videos like this! With the millions of swing thoughts we amateurs are trying to limit to a couple in our round, I love listening to what goes through these tour players’ minds. Tons of good nuggets from Xander. Great stuff!!
Loved the casual exchange between you both and the reinforcement of two points - dropped right shoulder and lifted left heel. So easy. Many thanks.
Watching Xander share his comments in a way that we all can understand is great. A fine young man and a great golfer. Thanks for sharing.
