I always go back to this video when I struggle with contact. I love how Danny's videos are easy to understand and more importantly they give you some simple drills to take to the range. Well done Danny!
After months of frustration hitting irons as a new player, and watching quite a few videos, this was the first one that clicked. Third ball at range practicing this technique was a 160yd 7 iron hit straight at the flag. And they kept coming. What a great feeling, thanks!
Without a doubt, the best golf instructions on the TH-cam. I have watched many instructors and your instructions are most precise and simple. Thank you so much.
I am 80 and Learning more with your few videos to strike the ball well than I have in 20 years. Getting to enjoy my game at last. looking forward for more lessons .Thank you
Danny, without a doubt your videos are outstanding. Several have helped me develop a swing, but this one helped me to correct a major mistake with one practice session. I was hitting behind so much I actually injured my hand. After working with what you showed in this video I saw significant Improvement. Not only was I making good contact with the ball, but I actually started to get the feel of moving my weight forward and ending on my front leg. Thank you, sir!
Your one of the best golf tutor. I’m a newbie and I never touched golf clubs before. Just after watch your videos and lessons. I manage to hit perfectly on my 1st attempt itself. Many of my friends are surprised and they don’t believe that I’ve learnt from your videos. Keep posting more videos. May god bless u always. Tq man!
A lot of great golf teachers online but I guess this probably was one of the best piece of information for me to get the swing right. So thanks for that and keep it up!
HI Danny. I started playing in the '70's when hand/grip position was nearly on the lead hip, and to sweep the ball away as we drive through. Modern appraoch is hand/grip is anything from 1" passed the belly button, to inside the lead thigh, more typically under the lead PEC/chest area, but we still sweep the ball away as the bottom point of the club swing ALWAYS remains after the ball, and striking the ball it is a bye product of the flowing swing. Your explanation of hittiing the destination point and weight transfer weight has proved invaluable. I'm now focussed on turning/rotating using my ABS/Obliques. Hands, arms hold and manoeuvre the golf club and are virtually tension free so are my shoulders since I'm using ABS throughout the WHOLE rotation/swing process. My lead hip is posted by the time I've struck the ball. my momentum and weight transfer continues and is at 90% at destination point & nearly 100% on my lead leg/hip when facing the target and swing is complete. Early days and load more reps needed, but it's a start. Thx
I used this drill and what a transformation . I put club in front of the ball in my set up drill with my weight forward then back to set up behind the ball and then go . Hit some great shots but most of all real consistency . Much greater distance as club face a little de lofted . Its so simple but very effective and I'm 69 years old !!!! Thanks Danny
Dear Danny, I’ve watched a lot of golf teaching videos on TH-cam, you’re absolutely the best one! Not only you give clear and easy to follow instructions, but also the way you talk, you make people love golf and want to practice straight away after watching your video!🌹👍
The fat shot has got to be the # 1universal exasperating part of golf! Thanks for sticking with us on this Danny. In my dreams I have thought of picking the ball off the turf perfectly like Jay Hass.
I've been teaching golf for 28 years. This is the first video I have seen that completely explains not only "how to stop hitting the ground behind the golf ball" but how to build a great swing. On the down side, these instructions take a lot of practice and I mean a lot, but once you grasp the idea you are well on your way to a great swing.
Excellent video! You explained my problem to a tee. I tried your solution with a couple of short irons today at the range and and successfully accomplished getting my weight over to the left. I now have more work to do. But at least now , I have a positive lesson that will solve my problem. Your videos are very understandable and effective. Thank you Giacomo
Just had a lesson at my local course, I was one of those people hitting turf first, my coach spotted this and has told me more or less the same as your video, Great to watch you put it in practice, cheers will be watching you again.
What a wonderful piece of instruction. I was a teachefr for over 35 years and you can tell a GOOD teacher when you see and hear one. THANKS! M.G. (Qc., Canada)
Best video lesson I've ever had! Not only has it helped me not to hit behind the ball, but has created the lag that I was unable to find. Thank you sir!
I had discovered you about a week ago and have already liked and have learned so much, since being out of the game for about 15 years, esp getting back to the basics. IMHO this is your most simple, yet crucial video. Thank you very much, Danny !
Just found your website and have found the three videos I have watched so far, most informative. I like the way you give reasons for your drills based on our golfing faults. Thanks.
What can I say for years I have been an arm and snoulder swinger,I had no turn and did not know how to get it,but you showed me the way thank you,just takes time and practice now. Ken
Danny, thanks! I've been fighting this fat shot for months! I have the same problems Russel had. I was really discouraged, but I watched this just before heading out to practice. I hit some of the best iron shots I've hit in years... and A LOT of them. Looking forward to taking my mates' money tomorrow! Thank you again! Cheers!
Thanks Danny, I started watching your videos and I am really surprised how clear and simple you explain the things. A lot of times they tell you "you didn't keep an eye on the ball" and the real problem is you focused too much on keeping your eye on the ball you forgot to keep the body moving. As soon as this COVID19 thing passes, will head to the driving range and try the inverse method! Thanks Danny, cheers from Uruguay
Get video Danny, have always struggled to hit behind the ball correctly, first round after watching this was the best i have ever struck the golf ball!! Thanks
Thanks Danny your instructions are so helpful. I was so frustrated, that I didn't even feel worthy to be on a golf course. You zeroed in on the many secrets of this game . Your out of trap video was a gem as well. Your whole attitude gives me hope. I love this game and want to enjoy it. You have helped immensely. Thanks again
Hi Danny, what a great video. It's so simple and clear when you explain the different steps of the swing. I am a 14 handicap player who still has problems with hitting the turf after the ball. I felt a bit depressed about it and fed up with the game. Thanks to you, I'm getting self-confidence again. I am looking forward to apply all this on the range. I'll let you know how it goes. Of course I've subscribed to your channel. Cheers from France.
Danny, I've watched literally hundreds of instructional videos online, but this one in particular nailed it for me. Just got back from driving range having employed your drills and the difference is astounding. Your manner of explaining things just clicked right away and I couldn't be happier I stumbled on your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Danny, can't stop telling you my progress in hitting the ball after watching your video tutorial. Excellent free tips. I would like to give you a treat when you are in Dubai anytime.
Great video Danny ! When I’m hitting bad at the range or course, I always try to remember we aren’t hitting the golf ball, we are swinging a club that happens to hit a golf ball through the swing
Thank you very much! Now I understand why I suddenly hit the ball behind the ball!! i went from my normal 94 , 95 shots to 101 shots!! I will go out this morning and practice what you preached!! 🤗⛳️🏌🇿🇦💞
Danny, this is just the drill that I needed! I have struggled with leaving my weight back and flipping the club at impact. I can't wait to include this drill in my practice sessions. Thank you very much!
Great instruction Danny, clear explanations and use of dissected swing motion examples, body and club positioning really illustrates completely, so extremely helpful. Watching correctly executed examples helps in my practice. Thank you
Danny's videos are all really good; but this may be the absolute best! People that do this drill, and properly transfer their weight, won't believe the power increase. This will certainly cure hitting fat/thin shots but the power increase will keep you smiling! Thanks for another great video, Danny!
Hi Danny, this is one of the best explanation videos I have ever seen. We have mats on our driving range. Can I still do the same steps on them as you are doing on the grass?
I'm a student of the game and I've experienced the efforts of many teachers. You do an excellent job at explaining cause, effect and how to correct the problem.
Same Paul...I'm soooo sick of hitting behind the ball and/or catching it fat or thin. I NEVER hit the ball first and I gotta fix my mind on doing waht Danny is saying.
You are zeroing in on the number one challenge of an amateur golf like me- getting a ball turf contact to strike irons pure. Your drills are most helpful to stop hhe rest can be worked on later. A great starting point to learn how to hit the ball. Maybe you should brand this concept and promote it. Excellent starting perspective on learning the golf swing.
Harold Pohoresky, thank you Harold, I’ve got some full courses coming soon on my website on every aspect of the game, I hope to include this type of step by step coaching inside
Hi Danny my son's ball striking had completely transformed since he watched this video . He was quite a good junior golfer but has had a few years of not playing but this has helped a lot .
Hey Danny, I couldn't agree more with mick19421. I very recently picked up my clubs again after not playing for more than 2 years. I'm turning 69 in august and I was (am) a high handicaper when I stopped golfing (32,4). Played for a little over 3 years by then. So I was bitten by the bug very late in life. After watching many of your lessons on Y.T. it started itching again, because you make look so simple. I haven't been out on the course yet, but in my garden (golfing net) things are going much better than 2 years ago when I stopped. I think my big advantage now is that I could start all over again, so to speak, and do it right from the beginning. I have no trouble to unlearn a bad habit first, and I could start from scratch. I can't wait to go to the range/course to see if I been a good student :-) Thanks for contribution to this wonderful sport Regards from Holland, Eddy
Brilliant. Finally something we can all understand and put in to practice. I think i might just be adding another 10% distance to my shots and about 75% more consistency. Thanks.
Danny I used a couple of your videos to stop hitting behind it thanks! Getting my swing back in shape. But can you maybe do a video showing why a player might block a shot to the right, seemingly with no obvious mistake in the swing? Not a slice but a shot on a basically straight flight but to the right of the target line?
Great video! Super clear explanation as to common causes for hitting behind the ball. Love the breakdown of how to create muscle memory for for correct body movement all the way thru the strike and after. So true that a great strike is a by-product of a correct swing.
So true...I learned this over time... and was glad that Danny could confirm that I was correct in my analysis... when practicing this I use foam balls so I don't have to worry so much about the strike and more about the position and flow before taking real hits
Great instructional video! That is exactly was I was doing at the range this morning. can't wait to get back out there. Not discouraged anymore, but encouraged! Thank you sir!
Danny, your videos very helpful..thanks. Our body is a genius when comes to tasks..throw stone across water, throwing a pitch, batting, chopping wood etc.. Our body automatic gets out of way doing these things, first thing is left foot plants to ground then body rotates out way, without thinking. Golf somehow we change mind set do something different to hit ball, we focus so much on hitting ball and not target be object. When we throw stone across water we don't look at stone come out hand, it's a natural thing body does, but Golf we do all kind moves to hit that little ball. Keep up good work, I look forward to your videos.
Thank you for the great video. I am hoping that your instruction can help me with my early club release, failure to compress the ball, and chicken winging.
Very good instruction! I keep reverting to my comfort zone, for vanity sake. Your method is top shelf! I know the difference in distance will be enormous, so i best get to the range!
Great video. I tend to stiffen up as I am afraid of hitting a bad shot. We all know what happens...fat shot and more tension and the process repeats. You are spot on and I will try the drill once the weather warms up. Thank you.
You kinda nailed it here Danny - "getting out of one's head about striking the ball". This video, and the one that focuses on the right elbow mention the struggle for many of us aspiring golfers that tend to over focus on hitting the ball, and not on the flow of the swing. If only you were a psychologist and could come at us from that perspective! Any more suggestions for helping us to get out of our heads about contact? I think this is the primary issue for me (and many others), which causes my "over-the-top" result. I am losing faith in my game, but you keep giving me hope. Many thanks... I will work to apply your recommendations and pray for improvement.
Ive studied Psychology since I was a teenager, its one of personal passions. Ive been surprised how many golfers have been interested in it too. Thanks for takin the time to feedback. Apologies for the delay too, only just seen this message
Got to give this a try. I have a built in hit impulse which can be pretty destructive when my timing is off. Love the videos, they are a lot more user friendly than many out there. Drills that are easy to follow and you don’t need to a gym rat to perform them
Yes this was a good video Danny I think it might help me understand why it seems like the club has been slipping under the ball not necessarily hitting behind it so much almost like your clipping the tee instead of the ball but the balls on the ground. I put the ball up in my stance like a driver with a nine iron for instance and I was hitting it pure so after watching your video that tells me I need to be on that left side more thank you.
helpful videos and to the point. i have a very minor cast that i think this video will really help with. especially since the cast really starts to affect shots with the wedges.
I always go back to this video when I struggle with contact. I love how Danny's videos are easy to understand and more importantly they give you some simple drills to take to the range. Well done Danny!
After months of frustration hitting irons as a new player, and watching quite a few videos, this was the first one that clicked. Third ball at range practicing this technique was a 160yd 7 iron hit straight at the flag. And they kept coming. What a great feeling, thanks!
Thats awesome to hear, well done...appreciate you taking the time to let me know
I don't understand why people would thumbs down a free golf lesson. Thanks Danny, I love your videos. They are much appreciated!
It’s my pleasure 🙏

Excellent instruction!! Thank you😊
Pleasure Susan, all the best
Hey Danny,
I couldn't agree more with mick19421. I very recently picked up my clubs again after not playing for more than 2 years. I'm turning 69 in august and I was (am) a high handicaper when I stopped golfing (32,4). Played for a little over 3 years by then. So I was bitten by the bug very late in life. After watching many of your lessons on Y.T. it started itching again, because you make look so simple. I haven't been out on the course yet, but in my garden (golfing net) things are going much better than 2 years ago when I stopped. I think my big advantage now is that I could start all over again, so to speak, and do it right from the beginning. I have no trouble to unlearn a bad habit first, and I could start from scratch. I can't wait to go to the range/course to see if I been a good student :-)
Thanks for contribution to this wonderful sport
Regards from Holland, Eddy
Eddy Vandenberghe that’s very kind Eddy, great to hear you are returning to this great game...something we can all play to any age
Brilliant. Finally something we can all understand and put in to practice. I think i might just be adding another 10% distance to my shots and about 75% more consistency. Thanks.
Westcountry Homes Online my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to comment
I have learned a lot from your video. Will try practicing soon.
Nilda Pascual that’s great Nilda, thanks for letting me know
Danny I used a couple of your videos to stop hitting behind it thanks! Getting my swing back in shape. But can you maybe do a video showing why a player might block a shot to the right, seemingly with no obvious mistake in the swing? Not a slice but a shot on a basically straight flight but to the right of the target line?
As an engineer, you had me at "reverse engineer the process...." Danny, you have a great gift to explain the game!
Funny, I love the process of reverse engineering
GVBTN - Can you expand on "reverse engineer process" please?
Great video! Super clear explanation as to common causes for hitting behind the ball. Love the breakdown of how to create muscle memory for for correct body movement all the way thru the strike and after. So true that a great strike is a by-product of a correct swing.
Ted Ray, thanks for sharing Ted
Great explantion-----been trying so hard to hit the ball then turf------ JUST might have, after watching this video. Thanks, Bruce
So true...I learned this over time... and was glad that Danny could confirm that I was correct in my analysis... when practicing this I use foam balls so I don't have to worry so much about the strike and more about the position and flow before taking real hits
Great lesson. Thank you. Will try this lesson tomorrow.
Thank you, let me know how you get on 👍
Thanks Danny, this training tip really helped with my iron striking.
I enjoy how you are able to make it so simple. Identify the problem, work backward through the solution and build on success. Thank you.
Ken Jones thanks for the feedback Ken, hope it helps your golf game
Great instructional video! That is exactly was I was doing at the range this morning. can't wait to get back out there. Not discouraged anymore, but encouraged! Thank you sir!

You are very welcome Olly
Great job, many thanks. I appreciate what you are doing.
Erwin Boschmans, thanks Erwin, I appreciate you taking the time to feedback
Danny, your videos very helpful..thanks.
Our body is a genius when comes to tasks..throw stone across water, throwing a pitch, batting, chopping wood etc.. Our body automatic gets out of way doing these things, first thing is left foot plants to ground then body rotates out way, without thinking. Golf somehow we change mind set do something different to hit ball, we focus so much on hitting ball and not target be object. When we throw stone across water we don't look at stone come out hand, it's a natural thing body does, but Golf we do all kind moves to hit that little ball.
Keep up good work, I look forward to your videos.
Ed G, wonderfully put Ed, it’s time we all made this game easy to learn
Thank you for the great video. I am hoping that your instruction can help me with my early club release, failure to compress the ball, and chicken winging.
Robert Rosenstein, let me know how it goes Robert
This is one of my biggest problems. Thanks for the tips.
Joseph Rush you are very welcome, thanks for letting me know
Very good instruction! I keep reverting to my comfort zone, for vanity sake. Your method is top shelf!
I know the difference in distance will be enormous, so i best get to the range!
Thats it! move out of the comfort zone and let me know how it goes
Decided to take a few lessons from a PGA instructor. He told me I’m all hands, not using my large muscles. Square one, here I go.
Awesome video... Very easy to understand
Rob Dearham, Thank you Rob, let me know how it goes on the course
Shall be trying this tomorrow, looking forward to my results explained very well also. Keep up the videos 👌
Aaron Devine thanks Aaron, very much appreciate
I’ll give that a try. Sounds and looks like good advice.
James Crouch thanks James, look forward to hearing how your get on
Cheers Danny will give this a go I always seem to hit turf before Ball.
Your welcome Steven, we all hit behind now and then. If its common for you head to the range and let me know how you get on
Great video. I tend to stiffen up as I am afraid of hitting a bad shot. We all know what happens...fat shot and more tension and the process repeats. You are spot on and I will try the drill once the weather warms up. Thank you.
robberbaron perfect, let me know how it goes
Piss off
Tony Canny that’s friendly
Another incredibly helpful and practical lesson, Danny. Thank you!
You are very welcome, let me know how you get on
Wonderful Danny.
I'm going to try this tomorrow. I have problem of pulling inwards as I do the same mistake what you are showing in this video
Love to hear if it you stop hitting the ground before the golf ball
You kinda nailed it here Danny - "getting out of one's head about striking the ball". This video, and the one that focuses on the right elbow mention the struggle for many of us aspiring golfers that tend to over focus on hitting the ball, and not on the flow of the swing. If only you were a psychologist and could come at us from that perspective! Any more suggestions for helping us to get out of our heads about contact? I think this is the primary issue for me (and many others), which causes my "over-the-top" result. I am losing faith in my game, but you keep giving me hope. Many thanks... I will work to apply your recommendations and pray for improvement.
Ive studied Psychology since I was a teenager, its one of personal passions. Ive been surprised how many golfers have been interested in it too. Thanks for takin the time to feedback. Apologies for the delay too, only just seen this message
Thanks - I needed this video. You explained the confidence issues perfectly.
spakuloid hope it helps
Got to give this a try.
I have a built in hit impulse which can be pretty destructive when my timing is off.
Love the videos, they are a lot more user friendly than many out there.
Drills that are easy to follow and you don’t need to a gym rat to perform them
Thank you, keep me updated on how you get on with the drills
Great lesson, Danny! Thanks a lot for it!
My pleasure Stephan, thank you
Excellent video as per usual Danny, struggling with ball striking at the moment. Keep them videos coming!!
tj marshall, will do, particularly now we’ve got the wearher
Another excellent video. Thank you. Would this impact position also work for the hybrids and 3 wood?
This is a great, practical approach to solving the early release problem. Thank you, I will incorporate this in my practice.
Great, look forward to hearing about your progress
Yes this was a good video Danny I think it might help me understand why it seems like the club has been slipping under the ball not necessarily hitting behind it so much almost like your clipping the tee instead of the ball but the balls on the ground. I put the ball up in my stance like a driver with a nine iron for instance and I was hitting it pure so after watching your video that tells me I need to be on that left side more thank you.
My pleasure Jerry, hope it helps, all the best Danny
helpful videos and to the point. i have a very minor cast that i think this video will really help with. especially since the cast really starts to affect shots with the wedges.
Keep rotating the lower half and this should help eliminate the cast
Great lesson. Thank you
John Culp, thanks John
