The reason people need to watch all your videos is how you develop the swing through your videos. I have unconsciously been doing this and my games improved so much. Elbow position, crucial, in right and left arm. How you turn. How you use your wrist. All this suddenly clicked for me and all fitted into place. Brilliant coach.
This with knobs on. The Maude Method is consistent and coherent. Provided you don’t get distracted by too much OTHER stuff on here and you practice based on these lesson plans, you will improve and you will have more fun as confidence builds.
This understanding of the right hand, right arm, and right side completely changed my game. The golf swing is more of an “under” swing than people envision it to be. This is how I picture it…. Try to sling your club underhanded through 4 sheets of drywall 10 feet in front of you(towards fairway, or green). This will make your right shoulder go down, under, and THROUGH. The through part is VERY important. This gives you a feeling of hitting the ball forward, instead of focusing your intention on hitting down “at” the ball. You’ll feel some right side bend through impact, weight on your left side, and your hips and shoulders facing the target through your finish. This feeling, along with proper wrist conditions are truly the keys to great ball striking, in my opinion. Love your content, Danny. Always dead on point.
Great - can you post a close up of the club with a putter grip fitted at 45* - would like to see this clearly - might fit one onto one of my old wedges for practice ! Thanks
@@PKKPKK100 Yes a picture would be good and a close up. I'm not sure 45 degrees is best....see Steve Johnson "I put a putter grip on my 7 iron" video.....and you 'll see he uses a normal putter grip with flat side 90 degrees to right so that his right hand and forefinger applies pressure to flat side. In any event these 2 coaches are the best.....and these tips will increase compression, resulting in better ball stiking. Gosh....how I need that!
This is a cracking lesson. Masterful translation of Cowen’s ‘spinning down‘ that confused so many of us. R&A website will be getting lots of hits to check exactly what grips are legal in competition. I’m building a practice 54 degree wedge just like that this weekend.
I was thinking this same thing. I might throw a putter grip on one club at the 45 angle for practice swings if it really will help and not make hitting with normal grips confusing.
Did a slow range session on this lesson plan and was getting crazy distance on 7 and 8 iron with what felt like a half back swing. And so straight. More importantly in weekend medal round hit some mid irons into par fours much better with this feel ( lots of 3 putts though ) Old gap wedge has putter grip at 45 degrees on now and my testing yesterday indicating this is a very useful aid for this building this feel.
Danny, this week and last week are two of your best videos. The only thing better than a lesson from Danny is Danny and Pete Cowen. Awesome stuff! Thank you, Danny.
A massive thanks Danny for all your lessons. My son won his workplace charity golf day competition, mainly thanks to yourself and the Get Good at Golf guys. We are looking into lessons over the winter to help with specific points but will keep up with your content. Cheers
One of the best golf instruction videos I have ever watched. This clarifies the biggest question I had about the hand path and makes it so much easier.
The 45 degree swing plane has been a game changer for me. I visualize this in my practice swing. Has helped takeaway, feel club head better, better impact, hugely improved chipping (had 3 NPRs yesterday - up and down, no putter required), AND improved rotation without hip or back pain! My season coming to a close with good feels to remember. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
As a beginner I’ve benefited tremendously from these videos. Everyone I talk to tells me to only listen to 1-2 people as listening to too many people will confuse you. They’ve also told me to listen to Danny - all independently. I’ve taken that advice and I can tell you there’s only one person you need to listen to and that’s our Danny. Thank you so much for the brilliant advice you’ve given us - for free! You are a gentleman and a scholar sir.
Another well informed, uncomplicated and brutally simple technique. No wonder so many people believe you’re the best coach on TH-cam (myself included 😄)
Thanks for another great video Danny. This series of videos highlighting the importance of controlling the right arm is making such a difference to my golf shots. Slowly but surely it's starting to feel more natural and consistent. 🙂
I have been following you for years. I have been struggling with over the top and flipping. I went to the course today after watching this video twice. It felt completely different than I’ve experienced in my 35 years of golf. Longer and straighter but more importantly, covering the ball. Thank you so much!❤️
Beautifully clear lesson, Danny. Thank you! I especially appreciate how you applied the "palm pressure through the arc" concept to every club in the bag. Brilliant teaching!
Wow, I really had a aha moment with this one! I have been hooking the ball and now I know I’m throwing the club out straight instead of around the body. Thanks so much💗 Pushing it through with the right hand makes so much sense. Great video and fabulous explanations 👍
Danny, after watching all 3 videos in this series my take away. Set up with my trail hand at 45% on the shaft. Then use my body to swing the club where my hands travel from 9 to 3 along the arc. This is so different. The bonus is I now finish the swing. I have trouble blocking the shot because I tend to stop rotating. It took we watching for two weeks but I got it!
This video alone has helped me immensely. Been playing for 2 years and my irons have been very up and down (more down) but after watching this I have been getting much better contact and distance.
Danny, I have been a long time follower and subscriber. I have spent the past 7 months rebuilding my swing from scratch. I watched the video earlier this morning and spent the past 3 hours using this move with every club DR-LW. Absolute game changer. Thank you for sharing the private portion of your lesson with Pete.
Danny, Thanks for another great video. I appreciate how all you videos are based on the same swing theory. It's simple and easy to follow. You have definitely changed my game. Thanks you and much appreciated.
Dear Danny, this video for me was a game changer. My pro tried to improve my swing for a while without major success. This „cheat“ for me is working perfectly. My ball striking has improved directly and over three golf rounds I reduced my handicap from 42.4 to 35.4.
Brilliant Danny took me a while to get your method but paying off now . Fellow golfers go back to older videos because I didn't get them all at first time, they are gold second or maybe 3rd time around
@DanielMaude For me as a relative new golfer I probably consumed to much information to fast so now what I do put lessons in sequence and give each lesson time to develop also what I found you normally give a cause for a problem so I focus more on the cause than the cure .
Finally. This video might have just have put together all the pieces! Pressure all throughout! What a brilliant video and this might come down as indeed one of the most epic videos explaining the arc, pressure and catapult in one. The clubface and release is pretty much automatic now.
Hi Danny, could you recommend a grip or two for this please? Looks like you have a different one on wedge and mid iron. Lots available but want to get the right size/type. Many thanks for the great information
Built one using an older wedge. Amazing how a seemingly innocuous change makes things feel very different and makes your body react very differently, too. Thank you for sharing, Danny! BTW, this really helps with “spin your forearm down” too.
I’ve been following your lessons for a while now Danny. I appreciate that ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ and it is a work in progress as old habits still creep back. Ask any ex-smoker or poor eater - bad lifetime ingrained habits are very hard to break, but your videos have really helped not only to (slowly!) improve my game, but to rekindle my love for our great sport … I have even invested in some quality foul weather clothing as I intend to be out there working on your ‘gems’ even as our British winter approaches! Thanks as always mate 😊
Loved this video and plan to add putter grips to at least two practice clubs. Would you by chance have a close up of how the putter grip was added? You said 45 degree angle, but I'm having a hard time visualizing that.
Thank you so much for your lessons. Even after a year and half of lessons, my swing was not so great. But just watching your videos in the last month, it has improved already...not tremendously yet. But your drills are very helpful and easy to practice, even at home. I can't go to the golf range very often, so I like drills I can practice at home.
Can you give me more information about how to regrip with a putter grip? I believe you mentioned a 45 degree turn. If I told a club shop that, would they know how to set it? Thanks so much!!!
Danny, will give this lesson a try during my weekend practice. It is a perfect fit for the "3/4 pitch swing" Fabian Bünker, a German teaching pro, recommends improving both swing and hitting. Thank you as always for your great video.
I have the Peter Cowen DVD “The pyramid of learning”, and I never fully understood all the concepts. This video helped me understand a little more. Thank you Danny. Greetings from Italy
What a great session! Right after watching, I went to the range, just half 7 irons were flying like full 6 irons but with compression and easy control. Great results - hope it works 2morrow again. Thank you - great work!
Large putter grip with a big flat on top. A few have bottom flats as well. Probably don't want a "pistol" type grip, since the overhang feature on the back of a pistol grip will feel funny in your top hand at the 45 degree rotation.
Great stuff, as usual. Each time you explain the Pete Cowen tips I pick up a little more understanding and there has been good improvement in my game. I'm sorry to see the season coming to an end, as I feel like I'm getting on a roll. Keep it coming.
Every week I think I’ve just watched the tip of the year and my game will leap up a level. Hrrrmph, my arms quit staying straight and my body stops. However, you continue to give me hope, 👍👍👍.
I'm left-handed, so I'm watching and reversing everything. While I struggle to get this particular element mastered 😂, well at least get it right, a video I saw recently really did wonders for me. And that was: focus on the swing circle and not on hitting the ball. Wow! Suddenly I had 15 more yards on my shot, and the feeling was natural. I love your method and attention to detail, and the many different ways you present it until something clicks. Great job!
This technique was used by Harry Frankenberg (Count Yogi), Hogan and Moe Norman. Analyzing the movement of the wrists through impact reveals the secret which is allowing the club force to pull both the extension and radial deviation out of the wrists, in particular the trail wrist, through impact. This can be seen in your video here by freezing the frame at the point ball is releasing off the face in your front view slow motion swing. I first got curious about it a dozen years ago when decided to start from scratch (again) using Hogan’s Five Lessons and started doing his wrist waggle action in the pre shot routine realizing it was actually a rehearsal for releasing the club through impact as demonstrated in this video. I realized how much that waggle of the wrist can move and accelerate the club head and studied Hogan’s swing with freeze frames and realized that’s what he was doing between the time the shaft came down parallel and it impacted and released the ball. Golf journalists wrote about how Hogan’s shots sounded different than other pros using the same ball and club and the reason was the added acceleration and striking force the “waggle down” radial-to-ulnar deviation move adds to a conventional swing with radial deviation and extension in the trail wrist through impact. I then came across Count Yogi and tried to duplicate his technique and realized he had the same release and added acceleration of the club head in his swing technique with an added twist; his technique allowed the club force to pull the wrists so far down into ulnar deviation that they locked up which provides very precise and consistent control of the club face resulting in consistently dead straight shots with no tilting of spin axis and draw or fade action on the ball, what he was renowned for, as was Hogan and Norman. Norman’s secret was is his grip, which puts the wrists into ulnar deviation when aligning club face to ball in the pre-shot routine. During the backswing his wrists went into maxed out radial deviation along his single plane swing then very predictably returned the club head and face to the ball with the wrists back in maxed out ulnar deviation resulting in the powerful dead straight shots he was famous for. So a few of us have seen it before and have been using it 😊 I discovered it and started using it after retiring in my late 50s and still use it now that I’m 71 because it adds effortless power.
You are making a bunch of sense. I don’t know that I want to convert to moe’s “single plain” swing, but I would love any resources you have to help me learn more about everything you touched on.
Oh, I have got to try this. Again! I had been hitting greens more consistently but have tailed off. Will have to be more conscious of doing this again.
Yea, Cowen's technique has really helped me. It is also a lot more easier to diagnose my bad strikes on the course. This grip idea is pretty interesting.
Brilliant Danny, this really works. My main issue now is coordinating the downswing with my hip rotation. Now I either duff it or hit a great shot. Nothing in between!😂
Excellent Danny you are the absolute best instructor and have improved my game with your indepth detailed instruction, thank you so much . At first I thought you changed your grips to extra fat and I missed a video telling why. I have changed my grips to thicker for this reason and it really works to give the feel of compressing the ball with my left hand, a left hander. I still have to work on keeping on the arc because I have a tendacy of breaking down and hitting hooks or even worse snap hooks.
Danny explains and demonstrates swing concepts in a way that is likely the most understandable of any golf instructor that you'll come across. Thank you Danny, absolutely love your channel. 🙏💪
Danny , started watching you videos about 9 months ago . I have dropped from 22 to 15 and have played to 10 twice !! Brilliantly presented tips with real results , I can't thank you enough!!
Danny this swing you learned from the great Pete Cowan is being articulated perfectl ny you...Ive alwas survived on the course because i could dtive good and could putt.. I Watched the video with Cowan over and over and picked up on little things went to the range and this swing is magical im not kidding i hit perfectly straignt balls and barely feel it when it comes off the club face it feels so pure !!! Thanks a Thousand times this is an amazing swing
Great Video...... just tryed it. I concentratr so much on my hands & Arms that i foget to turn my hipps..... looks so easy but to coordinate the whole body isn't quite so simple.....
Hi Dan,I have been teaching Jim Hardy method since it was first introduced on the "Golf Channel" Many teachers today are talking about straight arms in the follow thru. Jim hardy method has left arm going up and back after impact which is correct and maintains centrifugal force. Attempting to get arms straight more than 2 feet after impact is wrong and the club goes too far down the line. It also breaks the circle and it's bi product ie; centrifugal force. To quote Hogan. Page 105 of 5 lessons. " the right arm gradually straightens as it comes in to the ball l, but it isn't until the clubhead is 2 feet or so past the ball that it straightens out completely. At THIS point, the left arm is also straight, THE ONE AND ONLY TIME THAT BOTH ARMS ARE FIRMLY EXTENDED. After this THE LEFT ARM BEGINS TO FOLD IN AT THE ELBOW" . You still get extension as the right arm stays straight to the finish. Would appreciate Your thoughts on this as I know several folks are confused after looking at both scenarios. Enjoy all Your videos,keep them coming. Ray.
I would like to a putter grip on an old club for a swinging aide! Did I hear you correctly, you apply the grip at a 45 degree angle ( or did I mishear)? Since your last lesson with Pete Cowan, I have been using the technique in how to place your right hand on the grip. It has helped tremendously but still not perfect, yet😉
Hi Danny, Thanks for this video. After watching it and taking in the subtext of it, my ball hitting immediately improved! Unbelievable, yes I really felt the sensation. 🙂
To be honest I didn't even try the putter grip. However I think this may be the best golf instruction video I have ever seen due to the clarity of the swing plane as it relates to the right side of the body.. Worked very well in the range so what could possibly go wrong .....
Fantastic tips on the path of the hands in relation to torso..Combine that with getting the feeling of pushing down helps to keep the arms straighter through impact. These feelings brought to life in your videos really help to give us insight in how the swing works. Your videos help more than any others on here. Hence the 1.5 million subscribers
Release is key! I had this problem of pushing the club directly at the target and leaving the clubface open for years now until i figured this out. And my body is still fighting this swing thougt from time to time 😆 But its getting better. You are really doing a great job.
I'd love to have putter grips on all my clubs but my golf friends would call me a cheat! Always look forward to your content and again thank you for helping me improve my game.
This is great, thank you! I worked on this at the range today and hit a lot of great shots. It definitely feels different when following the correct hand path, as I tend to be that "front-towards-target dragger" at times, rather than finishing around to the left. Is there any chance you can get a camera angle above your head looking down, so we can get a bird's eye view of what a good pivot, arch, and hand path truly look like, and the relationship of the club and body (how far out/in the club head and hands are from the body)? I feel like Pete's methods are a lot like how Tommy Fleetwood swings the club, or at least how he finishes. When I hit my purest shots, I feel like I finish Tommy like with low with straight arms, but I don't understand it enough to get it right every time.. The videos with Cowen are a real game-changer, thank you! BTW, he reminds me of a couple of coaches that I had growing up, a real old school honey badger!! Cheers
Hey Danny ,Saw the same Lesson from The powerful Swede ,Marcus Edblad ,Without the Putter grip but the Back hand Pushining at the Ball ,I’m now doing it with an 5 Iron and it’s Amazing ,Little Effort !
Love your videos they are excellent in keeping it simple and understandable. One thing that surprised me was the grip you are using on your wedge shots . Please advise what the size is and why you use them .Thanks again.
Thank you Danny for all your session and tricks, I’m new in golf and learn a lot with you !! Small demand from me, can you make a small video on approch all around the green to see your tricks and also when the ball is in the fairway in angle. Thanks in advance.
I've tried this, results are great for pitching, chipping, and lower punch type shots, in the wind, i used it the other day on a seaside link's, however i loose a ton of distance on full shots, example my 7 iron is normally 155 metres, but struggle to get 130 metres, however I'll work on this during winter, because the ball flight is boring and penetrating
Danny - it blew my mind when I first saw your wedge and iron with a putter grip on them. Then when you started working thru the shot process, it made excellent sense. Great explanation on how the hand path needs to go. Big takeaway for me - pushing thru on plane (keeping the body rotating). Keep the great content happening!
It’s great Danny. One question. Do you keep the open 45 degrees only for the chipping? I don’t see any 45 degrees on the others club on the video.Thank’s again for your teaching
I took this straight to the course yesterday and shot nett 64 in the 2nd round of our club championship. (After nett 80 in the first round) So easy to follow and execute.
When I normally swing, the majority of the effort comes from my lead arm. What I understood from the Sean Foley video was "pushing" using the trail forearm. When I would pull using my lead arm, a "chicken wing" would result. When pushing more (maybe a more balanced swing force), the ball flight was more consistent and longer. Just thought you might like to know.
Excellent tip Danny on keeping that trail palm pushing against the back of the handle on the downswing! A tip I will definitely be using!!! This is being archived for future reference! Good Job Danny!!
Danny! TRUE STORY!! Several years ago I played 18 holes with a guy in his early 70s.He had been a "nationally ranked" tennis player for years and a college tennis coach.This guy was one of thee best players I have ever played with(and in his early 70s).I remember asking him what he thought about! He just said "I just FEEL like I am hitting a tennis ball and 100% focus on the PALM OF MY RIGHT HAND.The palm of my right hand, for me, is what is hitting the ball". No discussion about forearm or any other "body part". It was all just" palm of my right hand"!! I spent 3-4 hours on the golf course with him and it was just AWESOME to see the ball striking!!Very much emphasizes your interaction the weekend!!
The reason people need to watch all your videos is how you develop the swing through your videos. I have unconsciously been doing this and my games improved so much.

It's hard to see but the one he is using could be a SuperStroke Flatso.
Large putter grip with a big flat on top. A few have bottom flats as well. Probably don't want a "pistol" type grip, since the overhang feature on the back of a pistol grip will feel funny in your top hand at the 45 degree rotation.
YES! My man Danny every single time I have a moment click in my head you're on it. It's like telepathically you know what I'm doing
Great stuff, as usual. Each time you explain the Pete Cowen tips I pick up a little more understanding and there has been good improvement in my game. I'm sorry to see the season coming to an end, as I feel like I'm getting on a roll. Keep it coming.
I know, lots we can do indoors
Thanks Danny. My long game has been rather erratic of late, so hopefully this will be helpful in improving my strike and accuracy
Every week I think I’ve just watched the tip of the year and my game will leap up a level. Hrrrmph, my arms quit staying straight and my body stops. However, you continue to give me hope, 👍👍👍.
You can do it Simmo
Watched this before my round today an wow par on all the par 3’s played well shot 12 over par 72 thanks. Keep up the good work
I'm left-handed, so I'm watching and reversing everything. While I struggle to get this particular element mastered 😂, well at least get it right, a video I saw recently really did wonders for me. And that was: focus on the swing circle and not on hitting the ball. Wow! Suddenly I had 15 more yards on my shot, and the feeling was natural. I love your method and attention to detail, and the many different ways you present it until something clicks. Great job!
@rickhealy228 that’s great. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
So simple yet effective. Best golf video i have seen
super kind
This technique was used by Harry Frankenberg (Count Yogi), Hogan and Moe Norman. Analyzing the movement of the wrists through impact reveals the secret which is allowing the club force to pull both the extension and radial deviation out of the wrists, in particular the trail wrist, through impact. This can be seen in your video here by freezing the frame at the point ball is releasing off the face in your front view slow motion swing.
I first got curious about it a dozen years ago when decided to start from scratch (again) using Hogan’s Five Lessons and started doing his wrist waggle action in the pre shot routine realizing it was actually a rehearsal for releasing the club through impact as demonstrated in this video. I realized how much that waggle of the wrist can move and accelerate the club head and studied Hogan’s swing with freeze frames and realized that’s what he was doing between the time the shaft came down parallel and it impacted and released the ball. Golf journalists wrote about how Hogan’s shots sounded different than other pros using the same ball and club and the reason was the added acceleration and striking force the “waggle down” radial-to-ulnar deviation move adds to a conventional swing with radial deviation and extension in the trail wrist through impact.
I then came across Count Yogi and tried to duplicate his technique and realized he had the same release and added acceleration of the club head in his swing technique with an added twist; his technique allowed the club force to pull the wrists so far down into ulnar deviation that they locked up which provides very precise and consistent control of the club face resulting in consistently dead straight shots with no tilting of spin axis and draw or fade action on the ball, what he was renowned for, as was Hogan and Norman.
Norman’s secret was is his grip, which puts the wrists into ulnar deviation when aligning club face to ball in the pre-shot routine. During the backswing his wrists went into maxed out radial deviation along his single plane swing then very predictably returned the club head and face to the ball with the wrists back in maxed out ulnar deviation resulting in the powerful dead straight shots he was famous for.
So a few of us have seen it before and have been using it 😊 I discovered it and started using it after retiring in my late 50s and still use it now that I’m 71 because it adds effortless power.
..so to summarise “ulnar deviation “ 🥸
You are making a bunch of sense. I don’t know that I want to convert to moe’s “single plain” swing, but I would love any resources you have to help me learn more about everything you touched on.
Another brilliant vid. My game has improved no end,with your help. Thank you,for all your hard work,and endless enthusiasm.
Oh, I have got to try this. Again! I had been hitting greens more consistently but have tailed off. Will have to be more conscious of doing this again.
Yea, Cowen's technique has really helped me. It is also a lot more easier to diagnose my bad strikes on the course. This grip idea is pretty interesting.
Brilliant Danny, this really works. My main issue now is coordinating the downswing with my hip rotation. Now I either duff it or hit a great shot. Nothing in between!😂
Thanks Danny from over here in the U.S.! This is a great lesson! I can’t wait to get to the range to work on this!
Terrific lesson. Almost like you are here in Florida giving me a private lesson. Thanks for this and recent lessons using your terms and techniques.
Great video. I found thicker non-taper (legal) grips really helped get this feeling. FYI I went for Winn dri-tac grips.
Thanks again for this video really is helping me understand the impact position
Excellent Danny you are the absolute best instructor and have improved my game with your indepth detailed instruction, thank you so much . At first I thought you changed your grips to extra fat and I missed a video telling why. I have changed my grips to thicker for this reason and it really works to give the feel of compressing the ball with my left hand, a left hander. I still have to work on keeping on the arc because I have a tendacy of breaking down and hitting hooks or even worse snap hooks.
Danny explains and demonstrates swing concepts in a way that is likely the most understandable of any golf instructor that you'll come across. Thank you Danny, absolutely love your channel. 🙏💪
Much appreciated David 🙏
@@DanielMaude You are welcome, thanks again! Super helpful.
A great explanation of the modern swing I am 65 and it is not the way I was taugth ,good work
Danny , started watching you videos about 9 months ago . I have dropped from 22 to 15 and have played to 10 twice !! Brilliantly presented tips with real results , I can't thank you enough!!
Danny this swing you learned from the great Pete Cowan is being articulated perfectl ny you...Ive alwas survived on the course because i could dtive good and could putt.. I Watched the video with Cowan over and over and picked up on little things went to the range and this swing is magical im not kidding i hit perfectly straignt balls and barely feel it when it comes off the club face it feels so pure !!! Thanks a Thousand times this is an amazing swing
That was great...thank you Danny
From Rhys in Aotearoa/NZ....
Great Video...... just tryed it. I concentratr so much on my hands & Arms that i foget to turn my hipps..... looks so easy but to coordinate the whole body isn't quite so simple.....
You can do it!
Hi Dan,I have been teaching Jim Hardy method since it was first introduced on the "Golf Channel" Many teachers today are talking about straight arms in the follow thru. Jim hardy method has left arm going up and back after impact which is correct and maintains centrifugal force. Attempting to get arms straight more than 2 feet after impact is wrong and the club goes too far down the line. It also breaks the circle and it's bi product ie; centrifugal force.
To quote Hogan. Page 105 of 5 lessons. " the right arm gradually straightens as it comes in to the ball l, but it isn't until the clubhead is 2 feet or so past the ball that it straightens out completely. At THIS point, the left arm is also straight, THE ONE AND ONLY TIME THAT BOTH ARMS ARE FIRMLY EXTENDED. After this THE LEFT ARM BEGINS TO FOLD IN AT THE ELBOW" . You still get extension as the right arm stays straight to the finish.
Would appreciate Your thoughts on this as I know several folks are confused after looking at both scenarios. Enjoy all Your videos,keep them coming. Ray.
Watched this video on Tuesday, 18 holes Wednesday, wow what a difference, thank you Danny
Pleasure
Thank you Danny, you have helped me the most on my golf journey
I would like to a putter grip on an old club for a swinging aide! Did I hear you correctly, you apply the grip at a 45 degree angle ( or did I mishear)? Since your last lesson with Pete Cowan, I have been using the technique in how to place your right hand on the grip. It has helped tremendously but still not perfect, yet😉
Thanks, another good lesson to get the swing pattern correct.. brilliant Danny.. 😊
As always…. Simple - as - that. Briiliant and beautiful lesson Danny 🙏✌️
Thank you Rick, hope you and Tina are well
Hi Danny, Thanks for this video. After watching it and taking in the subtext of it, my ball hitting immediately improved! Unbelievable, yes I really felt the sensation. 🙂
Awesome to hear Leif well done
To be honest I didn't even try the putter grip. However I think this may be the best golf instruction video I have ever seen due to the clarity of the swing plane as it relates to the right side of the body.. Worked very well in the range so what could possibly go wrong .....
Fantastic tips on the path of the hands in relation to torso..Combine that with getting the feeling of pushing down helps to keep the arms straighter through impact. These feelings brought to life in your videos really help to give us insight in how the swing works.
Your videos help more than any others on here.
Hence the 1.5 million subscribers
Super kind Jonathan thank you
Another fantastic show Danny,
Thank you so much.
Sir Danny..You are one of the best coach in world..Thanks so much😊
Release is key!
I had this problem of pushing the club directly at the target and leaving the clubface open for years now until i figured this out.
And my body is still fighting this swing thougt from time to time 😆
But its getting better.
You are really doing a great job.
Glad you are on the right track Chris
I'd love to have putter grips on all my clubs but my golf friends would call me a cheat! Always look forward to your content and again thank you for helping me improve my game.
This is great, thank you! I worked on this at the range today and hit a lot of great shots. It definitely feels different when following the correct hand path, as I tend to be that "front-towards-target dragger" at times, rather than finishing around to the left. Is there any chance you can get a camera angle above your head looking down, so we can get a bird's eye view of what a good pivot, arch, and hand path truly look like, and the relationship of the club and body (how far out/in the club head and hands are from the body)? I feel like Pete's methods are a lot like how Tommy Fleetwood swings the club, or at least how he finishes. When I hit my purest shots, I feel like I finish Tommy like with low with straight arms, but I don't understand it enough to get it right every time.. The videos with Cowen are a real game-changer, thank you! BTW, he reminds me of a couple of coaches that I had growing up, a real old school honey badger!! Cheers
Hey Danny ,Saw the same Lesson from The powerful Swede ,Marcus Edblad ,Without the Putter grip but the Back hand Pushining at the Ball ,I’m now doing it with an 5 Iron and it’s Amazing ,Little Effort !
Awesome to hear Daryl
Love your videos they are excellent in keeping it simple and understandable. One thing that surprised me was the grip you are using on your wedge shots . Please advise what the size is and why you use them .Thanks again.
Thank you Danny for all your session and tricks, I’m new in golf and learn a lot with you !! Small demand from me, can you make a small video on approch all around the green to see your tricks and also when the ball is in the fairway in angle. Thanks in advance.
This looks exciting as I struggle trying to keep my arms straight on follow through, so will definitely be giving this ago. Thanks Danny
Have fun Sharon
you have no idea how much my short game has improved because of your instructions. Thank you for your videos.
Awesome to hear
I've tried this, results are great for pitching, chipping, and lower punch type shots, in the wind, i used it the other day on a seaside link's, however i loose a ton of distance on full shots, example my 7 iron is normally 155 metres, but struggle to get 130 metres, however I'll work on this during winter, because the ball flight is boring and penetrating
The graphics are so helpful, thank you!
Glad you like them Andrew
Danny - it blew my mind when I first saw your wedge and iron with a putter grip on them. Then when you started working thru the shot process, it made excellent sense. Great explanation on how the hand path needs to go. Big takeaway for me - pushing thru on plane (keeping the body rotating). Keep the great content happening!
Super kind thank you
Danny"s explanation of the golf swing is simple to understand and apply to your game. I'm all about K.I.S.S. Thanks Danny
Thanks for the feedback David
It’s great Danny. One question. Do you keep the open 45 degrees only for the chipping? I don’t see any 45 degrees on the others club on the video.Thank’s again for your teaching
I took this straight to the course yesterday and shot nett 64 in the 2nd round of our club championship. (After nett 80 in the first round) So easy to follow and execute.
Brilliant Dave well done 😁
Your best lesson yet!!! Thanks Danny!!!
My pleasure Keith
Great video Danny, can’t wait to try this out.
When I normally swing, the majority of the effort comes from my lead arm. What I understood from the Sean Foley video was "pushing" using the trail forearm. When I would pull using my lead arm, a "chicken wing" would result. When pushing more (maybe a more balanced swing force), the ball flight was more consistent and longer. Just thought you might like to know.
Really appreciate you sharing this Don 🙏
Excellent tip Danny on keeping that trail palm pushing against the back of the handle on the downswing! A tip I will definitely be using!!! This is being archived for future reference! Good Job Danny!!
Thanks for the feedback John
Morning Danny off to the range to give this a go as I'm really struggling with consistency at the moment. Cheers
Danny! TRUE STORY!! Several years ago I played 18 holes with a guy in his early 70s.He had been a "nationally ranked" tennis player for years and a college tennis coach.This guy was one of thee best players I have ever played with(and in his early 70s).I remember asking him what he thought about! He just said "I just FEEL like I am hitting a tennis ball and 100% focus on the PALM OF MY RIGHT HAND.The palm of my right hand, for me, is what is hitting the ball". No discussion about forearm or any other "body part". It was all just" palm of my right hand"!! I spent 3-4 hours on the golf course with him and it was just AWESOME to see the ball striking!!Very much emphasizes your interaction the weekend!!
Wow..another outstanding video. Thanks Danny 😊
