I’ve been following you for about two years. I’ve dropped my handicap from a 19 to a 13. I’m 75 and last month shot my age. Thanks Danny for your simple to apply teaching techniques!
I first swung a golf club at age 17, now I’m 44 and in all those years I would reach for my 7 iron when I was 150 yards from the green. Consistent and reliable yardage but inconsistent with my alignment. After watching this video I’ve added 30-40 yards on every iron! Now I’m reaching for my pitching wedge to get me on the green from 150 yards not my 7 iron because that’s landing about 185 yards away now. This video has given me so much confidence in my irons I just leave my driver in the bag and swing my irons because they go straight and long. Thank you Danny!
Danny Maude is one of the top instructors out here who actually explains and takes his time to demo and visualize each step clearly💯% has been a blessing for me and countless others towards better fun golf playing!
Another gem of a video Danny. You are the only person I now watch, no confusing over technical tips, just great info that helps golfers of all abilities.
I had been shanking/thinning/chunking everything for about 2 months before I saw this video and the day after watching this, I went out and nearly broke 90 for the first time in 1+ year as a 23 handicapper. You do amazing stuff and have saved me more rounds of torment. Amazing stuff!
Setup - setup - setup - get into a solid pre-shot routine. I’ve been working on this process and it includes brushing the grass. This video was spot on - thanks for giving such powerful lessons each week.
This is one of my favorite golf instruction videos ever. This is so simple. Just a few thoughts and a couple practice swings before each shot. Perfect, thank you!
It's great that you got a lesson from one of your friends and learned something! Shows that you want to keep getting better for yourself and your students!
Always great help for us mortal golfers. So many you tube tips are for low handicap golfers and don’t help me. Danny you always give me something I can use. Thanks
Been working really hard at hitting irons better this summer of '23. I watched your work with Peter Cowan and numerous others. Been applying the "hit" more with the right as Peter describes but I don't own it yet, at least not fully. But what has worked is "lagging" the club head and shoulders. This alone gives me time to move the hips toward the target and back up at the same time. The left leg presses down at first and then up for a nice finish. Yesterday was by far one of the very best sessions at the range. Striking my 9 iron so well that I was passing my 125 yd. target, with range balls. With a ProV1 on a warm day with little moisture in the air it would be loads of fun. But the point is my ball striking is back. I can hear it in the "hit" and see it in the ball flight and distance. All this with a very bad right knee and 72 years young. I can basically eliminated the right knee altogether, it has little to no function. Not so sure this will work with driver since it requires more depth in the back-swing thus more pressure on the right knee but I'm patient and will find a way to work around it.
This is just so good and so broken down so that everyone can understand it I love it. How you mention that the low point is below your left arm at the bottom of the circle, that just makes so much sense Danny, thanks for crystallizing it!
EXCELLENT,VERY CLEAR & HELPFUL VIDEO. Many tips clearly explained which will definitely improve my strike. I am going to make a few notes on this video before looking at the fairway wood video. Danny highlighted & showed me what I was doing wrong. Many thanks to a GREAT COACH.
Fairway woods & hybrid video also EXCELLENT. With golf I need to know what I have to do. After playing tennis & table tennis for 60 years I play those games almost without thinking. I just do it. Golf I find is less forgiving.
Great drill, this is what I have been doing for a few years now, because I was struggling with inconsistent depth. Nice to see you focus on this. I am big on visualization of how I need to hit the ball, where to hit turf, etc. awesome setup tips, saving this video to watch right before I go out.
Brilliant,, just brilliant. When I first started to watch these videos it messed up what little ball striking that I was doing. TBH your videos went to the bottom of my list. I quit watching all training videos and having been an athlete during my younger years I did what I always done to improve in sports. I started practicing 3-4 times a week at the range and took a different approach from what I always did since age 18 and that was to sometimes hit 3 large buckets in 20 minutes hammering away. When I practice I get a small bucket and instead of focusing on getting those 5 or 6 crisp shots I focused on my grip, setup and balance and quit swinging for the fence and was swinging 30 percent on every shot trying to make crisp contact every ball. It takes me about 2-3 hours to hit a small bucket and after one month I started to see huge improvements on the course. I’ve been playing golf since I was 18 and 49 now and for the first time in my life I was hitting the ball on demand. Played well for a month then fell back into the realm of inconsistency. Messed my head up because I thought I and I alone built a solid game and thought I was playing too much and that was my problem so then quit practicing and just played 18 holes a week and no dice. Im sorry for such a long story but I have to tell it. So here I was at the same place 3 months back looking at online training again and your video was the first one I saw and focused on your library on the areas I felt I needed help in then something happened.. the lessons from you that I watched 3 months ago that didn’t make sense and had me shooting worse made perfect sense..I was so excited that I was half asleep and at 2:30am grabbed my 7 iron and driver and went out in my yard and started swinging and was like OMG I couldn’t wait to hit some balls. The next day I went back to my routine and spent 3 hours hitting a small bucket and picked EVERYONE of them clean. Never done that. You have me playing the best golf of my life and finally shooting in the low 80’s.. if I practice more around the green I know I could shoot in the 70’s. I really think what happened when I first watched your videos and had such a negative experience implementing or understanding your lessons is because my foundation was weak and flawed. Then I started practicing and had built confidence in ball striking and had the proper grip and setup down and then came back to your lessons and not only could I understand you were trying to teach in your lessons they actually worked and fixed the bad habits I had fallen into! 4 months ago I was hitting my 7 iron 135-140 yds and that’s when I hit it clean. Now I hit it 165-170 and what’s crazy is I’m not swinging as hard. You taught me where your power really comes from. Your lessons have me shooting the best golf that I ever shot. The guys that I have golfed with for over 25 years kicked my ass every week and now I’m beating all of them by 7-8 strokes every time we play. Your methods are pure genius and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that bad habits are hard to break and building good habits take time but to stick with it and it’ll be like a light came on I swear.. Thank you so much for you are the only one I watch anymore. This is a true story and happened the way I said it. Couldn’t make this up if I wanted to.. I still have problems with hitting on a uphill or downhill lie so hopefully you have a lesson on those. That’s my next mission.. cheers!
thanks Danny! I don't think anyone could ever be a great golfer without understanding this lesson. Got to strike the ball well with your irons to be consistent and take a divot in front of the ball. I like the idea of a few practice swings to check the blades of grass. It sounds so simple but don't do it at all. When I miss, I almost always am hitting ground about three inches behind the ball. I have been looking for tips to be more consistent and trying super hard to make sure I am taking those divots.
Another great instructional video. I've recently started playing again after 14 years since I picked up a club and your grip video and this one have made a huge impact on my ball striking at the range. I look forward to trying it on the course, thanks again.👍
This is my go to video to watch every time before a round. A good refresher and has helped my game a lot. Getting a good strike on the ball more consistently. Thank you
Hi Danny, although I'm a single hcp player, the last month's I've lost my consistency when striking a ball. You just popped on my youtube and you grabbed my direct attention. Actually I had to go, but when you said, ''please look the whole video'', I was directly full on focus. And yes, this is a great tip. Now, I ask your permission to leave my hotel in Jakarta Indonesia, ha ha ha. Thank you Danny! Cheers, Olly (Amsterdam).
Thanks Danny, that’s incredibly helpful. It’s so annoying to mess up any approach shot or tee shot to a par three with an iron in your hand 🤦♂️. I’ve tried loads of things but I feel your pre shot set up tips today makes more sense, even narrowing your stance! I’ll give it a lash ⛳️👍
Hi Danny, I've been following your technique by concentrating on the low point of the arc and I'm seeing improvement in my ball striking. It makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love Danny's videos. So clear, concise, and very good at demonstrating, not just explaining the process. Up to the 6-iron, my strike and ball flight is pretty consistent. 5-iron down, and especially with woods, it's not as good. And with driver, it's terrible!! Connection with the ball is ok, but the ball flight and control is all over the place!
@@DanielMaude Had a session on the range yesterday applying this technique, and gained 10 yards with short irons, and 15 with mid-irons. Still working on getting that circle right for the woods and longer clubs. My right shoulder seems to activate early on the downswing - prompting a shovel-type motion (?) so I have an out to in path. I can control the fade sometimes, but need a better fix to get the high draw. My body is also doing the work, and there’s no snap with the arms and wrists. Can you help?
Needed this 😂 really struggling the other day especially couldn’t get my irons off the ground and literally woke nervous for a round today but this has given me confidence!
By far the best golf instructional videos come from Danny Maude. Another great video. One of the things I like about your videos is that you give us specific practices to follow on the range. Thank you.
As a newbie to golf I find all your videos informative, easy to understand and quite simply a pleasure to watch, they are helping my game progress at a rate I never thought imaginable. Thanks Danny and keep up the good work
OMG thank you!! This weekend- i drove the ball brilliantly! (For me)- however my 2nd shots were terrible!! You described me completely. i can't wait to get to the range and start setting club on my inside thigh- and then gripping. literally i think that will fix my inconsistant irons...
We love the simple and easy way you explain things Danny I've saved 3 videos about creating speed and taking divot in front of the ball.Ill be trying these things this week and will let you know accordingly .Keep them coming Danny,you are the greatest
After viewing this I will need to incorporate this into my preshot routine. Consistency of strike is my biggest problem, so I'm sure this will help me. My driving has really improved since viewing your driving videos, now it's time to get to work on my irons. Thanks for all you do for us amateurs, Danny!
Absolutely brilliant tuition as always, clear,simply no nonsense Golf drills, keeping you height 👍, after two strokes & mild h/attack, I've been trying to roll back the years with my golf game and your instructions are a joy, on trying to find ball then turf other video's advise shallow the club and hit down, I have tried this to n😂o avail,turf @ ball is the out come, so frustrating, your video Danny has rekindled my swing thoughts of old, I'll be of to the practice ground asap, Thanks again hope this finds you and yours well, AllanW.
Your instructions are always easy to visualize and follow. My issue deems as if I am afraid to hit the ground while I am on the fairway, no worse feeling than shanking the second shot after a perfect drive. I can't wait to apply your tips. Thanks again Danny!
Thanks Danny wonderful demonstration as usual. You convey the feel so clearly. I wish the PGA schooling would point out the importance of demonstration to their teachers because so often you’re just told what to do rather than been shown. thanks again
Always love your videos. The tips you offer along with the great graphics are always top notch. Would love to see more live lessons. Us amateurs can usually relate to your student's struggles.
Usually don’t comment on videos, but your channel deserves it. Thanks for all of the content. It’s helping a beginner golfer like myself tremendously. Also, please give props to your videographer/editor. The overlays help so much.
Love it, Danny, super simple. An old Carolina golf pro (Don Trahan) used to teach “setup determines the motion”. To that we could add “ rhythm and tempo determines the quality”.
One of your best back to basics videos Danny. I played today with a smaller width stance and really focused on keeping my head and chest still and played really well (for me), thank you Danny.
I started gold 3 weeks ago, all I’ve done so far is driving range and par 3’s. I actually started doing this before hitting my shots, out of intuition. Now I’ve got some decent tips to add into my pre-shot drill! Glad I was on the right train of thought, by trying to swing a few practice shots consistently before the real stroke. Now subscribed, as these are the best instructional videos I’ve found! Definitely gonna binge the back-catalogue too!
@@DanielMaude But is it though? The size of the club head "circle" is determined by shoulder width, arm length, club length, and something else. That something else is the angle of the right arm with the shoulders. It isn't the same at address as it is as the ball swings through the ball and divot point.
No doubt the best golf instruction on TH-cam. Yesterday I started picturing the blue swing circle from your last couple of driver videos and had my best driving day ever 😂 Thanks
Fantastic advice Danny, I’m new to golf and so glad I stumbled upon your content. Now it’s the only place I’ll go for top tips and completely digestible advice. Thank you.
Awesome video Danny. I’ve been struggling with my irons for a while. I’m trying to compress the ball but, I seem to be coming down to steep. I hit the ball first and it shoots off but, seems to go high and lose distance. My follow through slams the ground after the ball but, basically stops like a punch shot. I’m going to work on the tips in this video. Thanks
Thanx Danny for the tip to control depth of the divot. Just about every trainer reinforces the need to make a divot in front/after the golf ball. Except for one video that mentioned Tiger does not make divots, none discuss limiting the divot's depth to just a bruise. Which often leads to chunking the earth and hurting the distance. For a future video, please discuss how to keep the delofting of the club (hands in front of club head) from releasing too early (not casting) due to the downswing's momentum. Releasing or straightening the arms-delofted club too early causes hitting fat. In that, I have inconsistency with my timing/swing coordination.
Excellent stuff Danny - the concept of the circle is so much more “relate-able” than the abstract language usually applied around swing planes. You really are an outstanding communicator. I’m a recent leg amputee trying to keep playing - have you ever conducted lessons with an amputee? If so, I’d love to come down albeit you’re a long way from my home in Cumbria!
Danny am a 26 handicap, your no nonsense sensible and simple explanation videos helped me score 30 stapleford points yesterday (in 9 holes!). I was 1 over par!!! 🙏 thank you. Keep them coming!
Enjoy the lessons and the videos. Do you have any videos on the proper length of the backswing as I have been told my backswing is to long? Thanks Erik
I generally strike my irons correctly and I do take a divot in front of the ball but now and again I hit it fat. This is an excellent explanation why. I would make 2-3 practice swings making sure my low point is in front of the ball then still hit it fat. Can't wait to try this out on the course. Keep up the great work Danny!😀
And once again you make the complicated so easy to understand. I have that blue circle now etched into my conscience.....OK, sub-conscience. Thanks Danny.
You are hands down the best TH-cam instructor, short, sweet, and to the point! I really appreciate your videos Danny 🙌 How about one on always hitting off the toe please. I set up for a hossel rocket but still got it out the toe. Early extension, chicken winging? I don’t think so but guess there’s something wrong.
Reading the positive comments from other subscribers and you deserve them all. The time and effort you put in for us all is valued greatly. I may now know why I sometimes top my fairway shots. Have a good week Danny.
Thanks Danny, I started brushing the ground on chip shots last year and it has helped considerably. I tried this plan for full shots on the course today. It improved my tempo and the strike. It will be a work in progress but I think it will help. Thanks again.
Hey Danny, Ive just started golfing over the last few months and your videos have really helped me improve my game. Im really enjoying golf thanks to you!
This video describes what I have realized are my major issues and I keep fixing one thing and then forgetting about the other things. Great video, as always, and bookmarked for later review!
Hi Danny, you are explaining so well what is happening during the swing. My problem is thin shots. My backswing is O.K In downswing I see my left arm is bent at impact, suggesting this maybe could be why I have these thin shots. I do not know what I should really do. Csn you please help what I need to do? Thsnk you so much.
I'm getting back into the game after about 12 years brake (you know, life). I have been watching your videos, which are fantastic, I am a "beginner" golfer working on every point you bring up, and I am seeing improvement every time I go out but I'm using older equipment. When is improving technique going to be hampered by equipment that may be dated. At what point should I upgrade to better equipment. Thanks.
I’ve been following you for about two years. I’ve dropped my handicap from a 19 to a 13. I’m 75 and last month shot my age. Thanks Danny for your simple to apply teaching techniques!
Brilliant Larry well done 🙌
Nice
Inspiring!
Awesome mate......❤

Up to the 6-iron, my strike and ball flight is pretty consistent. 5-iron down, and especially with woods, it's not as good. And with driver, it's terrible!! Connection with the ball is ok, but the ball flight and control is all over the place!

Absolutely brilliant tuition as always, clear,simply no nonsense Golf drills, keeping you height 👍, after two strokes & mild h/attack, I've been trying to roll back the years with my golf game and your instructions are a joy, on trying to find ball then turf other video's advise shallow the club and hit down, I have tried this to n😂o avail,turf @ ball is the out come, so frustrating, your video Danny has rekindled my swing thoughts of old, I'll be of to the practice ground asap, Thanks again hope this finds you and yours well, AllanW.
Love to hear how you get on
Thanks!
Thanks Mike, very kind 😁
Your instructions are always easy to visualize and follow. My issue deems as if I am afraid to hit the ground while I am on the fairway, no worse feeling than shanking the second shot after a perfect drive. I can't wait to apply your tips.
Thanks again Danny!
Love to hear how you get on
This is great as usual. I do the up and down thing quite a bit.
Love to hear how you get on Shawn
Started watching Danny 3 weeks ago just finished a round today 5 strokes better than the last time I played the course before watching. Thanks Danny.
Amazing to hear well done
Thanks Danny, this is working well on the practice ground this am
Happy to help Petera 👍
Thanks Danny wonderful demonstration as usual. You convey the feel so clearly.
I wish the PGA schooling would point out the importance of demonstration to their teachers because so often you’re just told what to do rather than been shown. thanks again
Always love your videos. The tips you offer along with the great graphics are always top notch. Would love to see more live lessons. Us amateurs can usually relate to your student's struggles.
Lots more to come
Always great cues from Danny. I watch one of his vids before every round. Best instructor on TH-cam.
Very kind thank you Kasanj 😁
Usually don’t comment on videos, but your channel deserves it. Thanks for all of the content. It’s helping a beginner golfer like myself tremendously. Also, please give props to your videographer/editor. The overlays help so much.
Thank you Bart! Really appreciate the support 😁👍
Hi Danny,
Thanks for this lesson.
This was exactly whatvI was looking for - getting consistency.
Thank you 😁
Love it, Danny, super simple. An old Carolina golf pro (Don Trahan) used to teach “setup determines the motion”. To that we could add “ rhythm and tempo determines the quality”.
Thanks Ralph 😁
One of your best back to basics videos Danny. I played today with a smaller width stance and really focused on keeping my head and chest still and played really well (for me), thank you Danny.
That’s brilliant Pauline well done
This in my opinion is your best video yet Danny. So good! Thanks John
Thank you John!
I started gold 3 weeks ago, all I’ve done so far is driving range and par 3’s. I actually started doing this before hitting my shots, out of intuition. Now I’ve got some decent tips to add into my pre-shot drill! Glad I was on the right train of thought, by trying to swing a few practice shots consistently before the real stroke. Now subscribed, as these are the best instructional videos I’ve found! Definitely gonna binge the back-catalogue too!
Thank you !
Awesome Danny, many thanks for a great video, the part where you say keep the radius of the circle the same makes great sense
👌
@@DanielMaude But is it though? The size of the club head "circle" is determined by shoulder width, arm length, club length, and something else. That something else is the angle of the right arm with the shoulders. It isn't the same at address as it is as the ball swings through the ball and divot point.
Danny Maude always presenting ultimate quality tutorials for a better golf game. What a gem 👏🏾 👏🏾 100%.
Thanks so much
No doubt the best golf instruction on TH-cam. Yesterday I started picturing the blue swing circle from your last couple of driver videos and had my best driving day ever 😂 Thanks
Wonderful to hear
Danny, Great graphics , so simple to follow. your the best buddy. Hello from Georgia, USA
Really kind Robert thank you
Fantastic advice Danny, I’m new to golf and so glad I stumbled upon your content. Now it’s the only place I’ll go for top tips and completely digestible advice. Thank you.
Thank you Mark 😁
Thanks Danny I needed that lesson on how to lineup my iron on the fairway when striking the ball again thanks Robert USA 😊
Thanks Robert! Happy to help 👍
Thank you for the video! Found this to be very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great, simple explanation! Look forward to working on these drills on and off course.
Thanks Rob!
Love this. You’re right- no one talks about this. Thank you, Danny! 😊
Thanks Matt!
cool you make it look so simple,Thanks Danny
You are very welcome!
Awesome video Danny. I’ve been struggling with my irons for a while. I’m trying to compress the ball but, I seem to be coming down to steep. I hit the ball first and it shoots off but, seems to go high and lose distance. My follow through slams the ground after the ball but, basically stops like a punch shot. I’m going to work on the tips in this video. Thanks
Hope it helps you Tom 😁
Thanks so much Danny. Great lesson
Glad you liked it Georgie
I learned a few things from this lessons which I can't wait to try. Thanks
Thanks Paul 😁
Thanx Danny for the tip to control depth of the divot. Just about every trainer reinforces the need to make a divot in front/after the golf ball. Except for one video that mentioned Tiger does not make divots, none discuss limiting the divot's depth to just a bruise. Which often leads to chunking the earth and hurting the distance. For a future video, please discuss how to keep the delofting of the club (hands in front of club head) from releasing too early (not casting) due to the downswing's momentum. Releasing or straightening the arms-delofted club too early causes hitting fat. In that, I have inconsistency with my timing/swing coordination.
Wonderful idea, I will do just that
Thank you Danny. I can’t wait to try all these suggestions.
Hope they help you Tom 👍
Getting back in the game. I'm thanful for these videos.
Excellent stuff Danny - the concept of the circle is so much more “relate-able” than the abstract language usually applied around swing planes. You really are an outstanding communicator. I’m a recent leg amputee trying to keep playing - have you ever conducted lessons with an amputee? If so, I’d love to come down albeit you’re a long way from my home in Cumbria!
Danny am a 26 handicap, your no nonsense sensible and simple explanation videos helped me score 30 stapleford points yesterday (in 9 holes!). I was 1 over par!!! 🙏 thank you. Keep them coming!
Well done that’s brilliant 🙌
Enjoy the lessons and the videos. Do you have any videos on the proper length of the backswing as I have been told my backswing is to long? Thanks Erik
Wonderfull explanation ! Thank you Danny ! 🙂
All the best Wim
I generally strike my irons correctly and I do take a divot in front of the ball but now and again I hit it fat. This is an excellent explanation why. I would make 2-3 practice swings making sure my low point is in front of the ball then still hit it fat. Can't wait to try this out on the course. Keep up the great work Danny!😀
Thank you Denis! Will do 😁
And once again you make the complicated so easy to understand. I have that blue circle now etched into my conscience.....OK, sub-conscience. Thanks Danny.
Some great drills for me to try😊thanks Danny.
Keeping it simple by taking practice swings to gauge your swing. Great tips for this 70 plus newbie.
Thank you 😁
You are hands down the best TH-cam instructor, short, sweet, and to the point! I really appreciate your videos Danny 🙌
How about one on always hitting off the toe please. I set up for a hossel rocket but still got it out the toe. Early extension, chicken winging? I don’t think so but guess there’s something wrong.
Having just bought some new fitted irons this will help me fine tune my setup & pre shot routine, thanks 👍
Thanks Graham!
Reading the positive comments from other subscribers and you deserve them all. The time and effort you put in for us all is valued greatly. I may now know why I sometimes top my fairway shots. Have a good week Danny.
Very kind thank you Matt 😁
Thank you. Great basic routine to focus on. Simple uncomplicated but on the nose.
Thanks Gerald!
Thanks Danny, I started brushing the ground on chip shots last year and it has helped considerably. I tried this plan for full shots on the course today. It improved my tempo and the strike. It will be a work in progress but I think it will help. Thanks again.
Brilliant Tommchugh well done 🙌
Hey Danny,
Ive just started golfing over the last few months and your videos have really helped me improve my game. Im really enjoying golf thanks to you!
Really happy to hear it 😁
Such a great visual Danny! Thank you so much🙏
Happy to help Brian 👍
Thank you very much. I will built this in my striking routine. 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻😍
Happy to help 😁
Danny what a great video. The game can be frustrating at times for me but I always can count on you to help me and simplify the game. Thank you!
Thanks Joe 😁 happy to help!
Wow! This video was great. I learn from all of them, but this one was super useful. Thank you!!!
Thanks Indira 😁
This video describes what I have realized are my major issues and I keep fixing one thing and then forgetting about the other things. Great video, as always, and bookmarked for later review!
Thank you happy to help 😁
Hi Danny, you are explaining so well what is happening during the swing. My problem is thin shots. My backswing is O.K In downswing I see my left arm is bent at impact, suggesting this maybe could be why I have these thin shots. I do not know what I should really do. Csn you please help what I need to do? Thsnk you so much.
You have just mentioned everything that I do wrong on the fairway. I’m going out into the garden to practice this straight away. Thank you.
Love to hear how it goes Eddie
Thank you!! I forgot to set up as you showed. Tuesday 7/11 I will be trying what you suggested. My results may improve, only time will tell. ;)
Let me know how you get on 😁
I'm getting back into the game after about 12 years brake (you know, life). I have been watching your videos, which are fantastic, I am a "beginner" golfer working on every point you bring up, and I am seeing improvement every time I go out but I'm using older equipment. When is improving technique going to be hampered by equipment that may be dated. At what point should I upgrade to better equipment. Thanks.
