What Nobody Tells You About How to Strike Your Irons
ฝัง

- This is why you struggle to strike your irons pure and make solid contact 👇
1. You are trying to hit your irons straight. The golf swing is an arc so it's almost impossible to hit straight golf shots. The best players enhance their iron str by allowing the ball to curve.
2. Your Ball and Hand Position are in the wrong place at set up
3. You don't have enough weight on your front foot at impact - Easy Fix
4. You are flicking your wrist through impact and not getting compression
What's great is if you have any one of these faults in your golf swing they are really easy to fix and can make an instant impact on the quality of your ball striking not just with your irons but with your driver too.
For example if you want to hit your driver straight just changing the ball position and alignment of body will be a real eye opener for you

ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On TH-cam and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

when I click the link, it takes me to a page for a paid subscription. what am I doing wrong? thanks for your help
This has to be the best iron lesson I've ever seen. It seems to answer most of my iron striking issues, and I can't wait to try what you're suggesting. Thanks Danny.
Thank you Peter very kind 😁⛳️
Seriously great video! I’ve watched a ton of these videos as you can imagine and this by far is my favorite so far.
I concur....
As ever great and simple explanation. So Chubbs was right “ it’s all in the hips “ !!!
Classic
😂😂😂😂 comment of the month right here
🤣🤣🤣🤣i quote lines from that movie when playing even when my dads driving.... "your going to miss this putt ya jack@$$" 😂. Little Brother asked how to do something in the swing the other day and i hit him with the its all in the hips. 😂😂😂 If you're wondering if i walked up behind him you bet your az i did😂😂😂
🤣thanks Steve ⛳️
What’s so great, Danny, is that you care more about teaching, helping, encouraging than the sport itself. You see your role as a minister of golf, helping all those under your care! I’m blessed to consider myself one of them! Cheers! - Jim
Thank you Jim happy to be in a position where I can help a lot of golfers 😁⛳️
Amen!!!
I am 78 and I love your tips on a Saturday. Little by little I am beginning to understand the mechanics of the game. Wish I had seen you 50 years ago. But I now feel all is not lost. Thanks for your generosity.
Thank you John happy to help 😁
LOVE to read such comments from someone 78 years old! Congrats on skill being out there knocking the ball around :)
I am somewhat speechless at this video. I don’t think anyone should strike an iron until they’ve watched this. That’s not a joke.
I don’t think many people understand why they should be doing this, adjusting that and anything else they’re taught to do.
This is the clearest explanation to every question you could possibly have for the ‘why’.
I cleaned up my iron shots on the range today because of this video, I’ve been playing 20 years and play off 8.
Incredible video, thank you.
Thanks Danny , look forward to your weekly videos . I’ve always struggled with weight transfer and swing very ‘ armsie ‘ this tip will bound to help me . Have a great week
Simplicity is the soul of great teaching, along with keeping it interesting and positive. You have all of that and more, Mr. Maude. Thanks!
Danny I want to thank you! I can actually comprehend things A LOT easier by the way you break things down. Just when I was at the peak of my game 7 years ago I had shoulder surgery and gave up the game. I am just now getting back into it to find disappoint because I am basically starting from day 1. Thank you! New subscriber here!!
Great video Danny. Really explains the geometry well. I particularly liked the fluidity movements. It creates a strong mental picture and is something my swing needs. Will try it out and will also watch the driver video.
Really hope it helps David
Hi Danny. You always have great ways of explaining and simplifying difficult moves to make them easy to understand. Thank you so much for your wonderful lesson and cannot wait to try them on the range! 👍 👍
Thank you Kham 😁⛳️
This is so brilliant, Danny!!!!! I can‘t thank you enough for all the videos, Tipps and hard work! Can‘t wait to try this out! You make it look so elegant, simple and effortless…… So greatful to have found you here. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Danny I’ve been working on rhythm recently and your videos have been a great help I’m a senior golfer 26 handicap! today at the driving range I added extension and wow not only a better strike but massively improved accuracy with irons and hybrids I found it somewhat more difficult with driver but will continue to persevere! Thank you!
Dude. You're amazing! Truly. Some of us do better when we learn the "why" behind various lessons/drills given to us. Thank you for being THAT type of instructor. Your style and approach are EXACTLY what we need more of. Please keep up the good work.
Where are you and are you available for private instruction?
Thank you, Danny, for your clear, concise way of communicating swing fundamentals.
Over the years, after reading every magazine, book and video that I could get my hands on, I realized that I was suffering from golf information overload!
I have eliminated all but your very easy to understand and follow videos.
So I thank you sir.
Really great to be on this journey with you Michael
Definitely going to try this out on the driving range. Great explanation - very clear and simple. Thanks Danny.
Fantastic video Danny. What you describe is exactly how I feel when I hit (accidentally, almost) a beautiful crisp draw with my irons. Now I have the confidence to commit to the shot, knowing the geometry will work for me. The combination of set up, arc, pressure shift and release make total sense to me.
Another really helpful, easy to understand and seems fairly straightforward to apply. I'm already benefitting from the same logic with my driver, can't wait to try this.
Really hope you get to the 1m subscribers, Danny, you deserve it and whatever comes with it.
Thank you Paul very kind 😁
Another brilliant video, Danny. I've been thinning my irons lately and couldn't figure out why. Watched your video this morning, followed by a round in the afternoon. Went through the 3 stages for each shot and never hit them any cleaner. It was such a joy.
Thank you so much.
You are simply the best instructor out there! Seeing how you swung and adjusted using only the tips of your fingers to hold the club is incredible. Thank you. I'm off to the range now to fix my lack of extension.
You are a great teacher Danny, I love the fact that we should know why we hit bad shots. I’ve stopped shanking thanks to you, but if it’s a close shank, I know why. I’m a very happy golfer again. Cheers pal 👍🏌️♂️🥳👏
So good to hear Rob, all the best
Danny, once again an excellent video. Will take your advise to the range tomorrow. Everything you explain makes so much sense. I wonder why not every good teacher can't explain it like you ;-). And I thought I have had some excellent teaching pros so far.
Very kind thank you Marc 😁
Love watching you explain the machines of the golf swing, I'm sure you have helped lots of golfers
Hey Danny, awesome videos. I like how you break it down in sections so for newbies like my self better understand the science behind a well structure swing. Obviously the goal for me is to learn it properly and develop a most natural swing. Keep up your great videos and thank you for them, I am no where near an average player but these have already help me improve my swing and hopefully one day I can be more consistent.
This is OUTSTANDING, Danny! We've just made it through a long winter here in the NE of the USA. I knew my club impact was off but I attributed the decline in distance to the cold weather. This video so well outlines the swing geometry (as you said). I will most definitely try this. Well done and Bravo!
Wonderful to hear Walt
I was toppling the ball with my irons & hybrids. Watched your video. Went to the range yesterday. Fantastic results!! I am going to the range today to reinforce the 3 step process.
Thank you Danny!!
Leon
Plymouth, Michigan
Amazing to hear Leon, well done
I have watched your lessons for years but had not seen this one. Has to be the best break-down/combination of sequences that I've seen. Now I need to go out and practice. Thanks!!
Just started golf a few weeks ago and you’re channel has been so helpful, I feel like this video has given me the last thing I need to get a really nice swing. That flow and shift of momentum from right to left. Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel 😁
Thank you Danny, great video as always. I am one of those, that hit the ground first with a tendency to slice. I am trying for ages to shift my low point to after impact. I will certainly implement your advice from today.
Love to hear how you get on
Playing 18 holes today with a friend who was consistently taking a divot before hitting the ball. I tried to tell her, hit the ball first then take the divot. (Something I learnt from watching your videos!) She is new to golf but hits a mighty big ball already. This video will be a huge help for her so I am sharing it with her. Love your videos Danny. I am playing my best golf now at 83 than I did 30 years ago! Thanks to your hints.
This is the best video I’ve seen on how to hit an iron. I’ve probably had 20 hours of lessons in the past 4 months and learned more watching this video for 14 minutes!!!! Excellent video
The visual effects of the moving of the arc and the concept of striking the ball earlier on a downward path slightly right of the target path is brilliant! As Spring begins all of us trying to improve need to embrace these three concepts! Great stuff as usual. You are the best out there when it comes to understanding the fundamentals of golf! Thank you!
I've recently subscribe. The best golf lessons/tips on TH-cam! I've watched a ton of your videos and get something from every one of them. The video on "why 90% of golfers can't strike their irons" was magical. That short (but highly effective) video did wonders for me. Thanks Danny for your efforts here to help the mere mortals! :D
Really kind of you Daniel thank you
Danny, I've struggled to get to my left side for years. YEARS! Your lesson here gives me the mindset to accomplish the mission. I can't wait to try it, and I will focus on getting this into my game. Thanks!
I have tried six times to get the practice guide. I have tried to contact noodle. nothing works.
Pleasure Tom, I will find out too what’s going on with the practice plan
Thanks, Danny. This video was huge in helping me understand why I consistently hit a solid iron shot, but they always tend to be right of target. I will try both closing my face a bit more and also trying the method where I align left of target with my normal setup to see which I prefer, and when.
This is one of the best golf swing explanations I’ve seen yet. Easy to understand, yet /scientifically/mathematically sound
Really appreciate the feedback Robb
I broke 80 for the first time in years thanks to you. The friends i was playing with were amazed at the distance and control i was getting. Not to mention the chipping around the green. I sent them some key video's you helped me immensely with and hope they stick with it! These playlists are priceless!
What would u say are the key videos? I found this one really useful.
What I've been doing lately is lining the club face up to the ball during my setup then bringing it back so my hands are over the ball and my club face is at the right angle behind it. Can't believe you how much this is improved my accuracy and distance. Mo Norman has been right all along
Thanks for sharing
Danny, been watching your channel now for over a year and I have to thank you as my ball striking with irons has improved dramatically. I was at a place where I could not get the club on the ball in any consistent manner. I was basically hitting the ball into the ground. Watching your instruction helped transform my understanding of swing mechanics, and now I regularly launch my irons into the air quite nicely.
I still hit iron shots a bit fat at times, and that is frustrating, but what is more frustrating is preparing to play a 120 yard approach shot, setting my grip and alignment only to catch it thin and see the ball scamper 80 yards down the fairway, never getting 6 feet off the ground. So I see a challenge in trying to incorporate Step 3 into my swing. I feel compelled to “stay down”. Any suggestions you might have in helping to overcome this challenge are appreciated (I know, practice!).
Great work Danny thank you for your great ability to impart the mechanics of the golf swing in a really simple way that has improved my enjoyment of this very complex game!
The way you explain is amazing really helped massively
Great instructions. Easy to understand and implement. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Pleasure Joe, all the best
Danny, Quite honestly, my ball striking has improved more since I began watching your videos than it has in the 25+ years I've been playing the game. I am a senior now and find your techniques work for this tired, less than flexible, body very well. I have developed a confidence standing over the ball which I never had until I began implementing your techniques. Thank You Danny.
Love how you explain and demonstrate the movements needed to hit your irons properly, something i have always struggled with, thank you .
Pleasure Dean, all the best
This is addressing all my issues. Best thing is its explained how to ‘feel’ what your doing.
You know what I did to start hitting my irons crispy? I've love all your tips and have tried so many of them. This will be my 3rd summer of playing. Now I did play when I was young but that was about 20 years ago. I've been shooting under 90 but over 80 pretty consistently until this year. Most of my score was terrible putting 3 putting alot. A week ago I changed my putter grip for the third time. (Cross handed then claw now left hand on the grip with the right hand over it with my index finger only on the grip with my right hand) that helped me shave 3 or 4 shots. But the big change was pressing my hands about 2 balls past the ball with my irons. In the last week I've shot 76 twice and today on the back 9 i was 2 under until 17 where I couldn't find my drive. I took a 6 but still made par on 18 to shoot even on the back. I don't know why this made such a huge difference but I'm hitting my irons about a club and ½ further. I went from worrying about shooting over 90 to thinking I just might be able to shoot under par by the end of summer maybe. 1 week this has happened. I'm on cloud 9 right now. I'm going to play tomorrow..... I'll most likely shoot 87 because I bragged about this. But I'm excited and don't really have friends to tell. So I'm telling you. Thank you for all your tips and videos.
That’s awesome to hear, well done 👏
@@DanielMaude Thank you again. And today I had no 3 putts while playing. Even tho I felt like I wasn't playing that good I still shot 81 and that's great.
Perfect instructions! It really helps to understand what is happening during the swing and the impact on the ball. Just tried it and it works. Thank you!
Hi Danny I just started learning golf for about 3 weeks and definitely got hooked. I want to say that your videos have been helping me a lot, and I can't wait to see myself improving after following your lessons. Thanks a lot
Step 2 🤯🤯🤯 thank you so much for all your videos! Best ball striking advice and explanation🤙🤙🤙
What I really like about Danny's teaching is that he connects the mechanics to the feel of the shot .... also explaining what's going on so you get the whole picture, the flow of it.
Thanks for the feedback Simon
Danny is simply the best. Headed directly to the driving range to try this and a couple other "Danny drills". Ive been playing for a little more than a year now, and Danny has easily taken 10-15 strokes off my game without any hands-on lessons. I will be shooting low 80's next year. Thanks Danny!
Great explanation! Can’t wait to try this out. Need more consistency in my iron shots for sure.
Really great instruction, it’s helped sooo much ! Thanks Danny.
Great to hear Craig
I bought a Meta Quest 2 about a month ago. First time I ever played golf was on the Golf + virtual reality game. Your tips took me from a handicap of 35 to 12. Now I want to learn golf for real since I’m having so much fun!
Your recent content has been top notch. Thanks, Danny!
That’s very kind thank you
🤯🤦🏾♂️ - Your approach to explaining the swing is simply amazing. Thanks 🙏🏾
This looks perfect! Thanks for breaking it down so well
Thanks Danny! My iron play has been off lately. I watched one of your iron videos yesterday, went to the range and it improved. This video will also be beneficial for improving my iron play!! Thank you!
Its the best lesson! Thank you so much improved hitting my irons just for these set up
Honestly been watching your videos since i went to the range for the first time since i was a kid and I’ve already learned so much from you. Top man 😎
As always, well done Danny! I’ve been slowly adjusting my set-up and swing path to the ball (even though initially it felt like I would be hitting the ball out to the right) and surprisingly, I’ve corrected my ball flight and am striking my irons a lot more pure.
You’re a legend Danny you have helped me and I’m sure so many others with these great videos.
Very much appreciated!
Really appreciate the support Matt
Great video. Loved the logic of the swing. Will try it in the course asap.
Glad you enjoyed it, love to hear how it goes
Thank you for this. I applied your tip at 6:44 to my driver swing, and did a few practice swings back and forth before my shot to get the feeling of shifting forward and I didn’t hit a single slice today(my typical driver shot). I played the middle and left side of the fairway consistently for the first time ever.
Great video, sir!!! It's nice to actually see a lesson and not another sales pitch. Brilliant!!
Really happy to help
What a great description of what a swing should be and why.
Thanks so much Ken
Went out and shot +6 this morning. Great tips, particularly ball position.
One of the best video explanations of iron striking I have seen!
Love to hear how you get on
This is fantastic, really simple steps, especially step 2, I've been struggling with the strikes and getting the hands well. Definitely testing this out next time I'm on the range :)
Great lesson as always Danny!! Thanks!!
My pleasure Andy, hope it helps
Hi Danny, your technique of teaching and your explanation is so awesome. I started with your iron strike steps, then chipping and putting videos, and i kid you not, I’ve moved from 102 to 92 so quickly. I have memorized your quick step by step guide for these 3 vital shots. Less duff chips, fewer 3 putts and from the fairway I strike the ball on or near the green. At worse its a chip and a putt. Thank you so very much.
This is the key. Take this lesson to heart and get ready for the stripe show. 😊
Really hope so
Explaining the swing geometry really helps me to better understand what I "should" be doing versus what I "am" doing...Thanks a bunch!!
Thanks for the Lesson Danny.
Incredibly kind of you thank you
Excellent lesson and very helpful Danny. Thank you!
Another excellent video Danny. The indoor part of the video is great and it really shows how to get movement and correct momentum into the swing. Thanks again.
Thanks Porty 😁
I love this, my coach keeps telling me this. Your video is super helpful in reinforcing what I know I need to do!
Glad it was helpful Mark
Best description yet Danny. I watch Mike Milaska, Me and my golf, and you and still think you have the best way of articulating what the body is supposed to do. Now if I could actually replicate your lessons I will be set!
Thank you Paul appreciate the support 😁👍
Thanks Danny. This lesson was very helpful.
Danny, struggling with my iron contact. I am working hard on it trying to follow all your tips on irons. This is another great video for me to be able to visualize what i need to do. Thanks.
Thanks Dave happy to help 😁
This is a fantastic video👍 Thanks Danny for your great works!
Danny, as always, an excellent video for iron play! We are so lucky to have your channel on TH-cam! Regarding step 2 (shifting weight to your left side), I'm always trying to avoid swaying to the left as I'm striking the ball, which would cause a thin shot or even topping--hitting the top half of the ball. There seems to be a fine line between shifting your weight in the downswing and swaying to the left (for a right handed golfer) which I know is a no-no!
This is the most informative irons lesson I've ever seen. Long irons especially have been a fight for me my whole life. I've only sometimes taken divots and have picked the ball, creatin g a higher & shorter flight. Definitely some adjustments to try!
Thank you Danny! I've golfed for 50 years and have gone from a 3-4 handicap to 18 and I couldn't put a finger on what was happening in my swing. Of course age is a factor, but still at 75 fairly flexible. I believe after watching this lesson I have gotten a bit lazy and drifted from the finer points in my swing. With this reminder I will start working on full turn and elevating to complete the swing. Momentum is there just need to finish. Thank you for all of your guidance!
Dynamics of the golf swing. Absolutely correct. You touched on the follow through with the swing motion finishing upwards, something I have been conscious of and working on. I call it pumping out he chest. All professional golfers do this and the action is so fluid. Thanks Danny for your great insight. By far the best explanation and demonstration. Take care
Thank you Matt 😁appreciate the support 👍
Great lesson Danny! Your communication skills make it very easy to follow what you're teaching. You're making golf more fun!
Super kind thank you
I can never thank you enough for your amazing style of teaching! Every new lesson helps me to play better and better
That’s great to heart Maka thank you for the support 😁
As always....Thank you! Simple and easy to follow your lessons!
Thanks Gary!
Ive only recently come to your channel. You explain in simple terms and thats a huge difference for me. I'm a 15, just had knee replacement surgery and am aiming to be a 10 by summer. I'm 70 and your channel is now the only one I watch. Thanks!
Thanks Rick happy to help 😁👍
Finally, someone is talking about the geometry of golf! This all makes sense and explains why you are fighting your swing. I used the driving version yesterday and hit 12 out of 14 fairways. Can’t wait to try this set-up.
Well done Phillip 👍
Just implement everything in this video and just finished playing my best round of golf ever.
My irons were dead straight next is to work in my driver stance .
So glad I found you on TH-cam and thx for helping make golf fun again
Well done thanks for the feedback!
Danny, I'm learning something new and beneficial every lesson plan. Thanks@
The swing arc and alignment stick visual aids are so helpful! Thank you!
Pleasure, really happy to help
Nobody told me but I was a voracious reader of golf instruction books. Nicklaus taught me how to shape shots both ways in Golf My Way in the mid-80s and you explain HOW to do it even better 👍
But what really helped my understanding WHY it works. Nicklaus used the analogy of the swipe across the ball vs dead straight strike tilting the backswing axis like a banking airplane wing and explained the point of doing it on approach shots was to control the direction the ball goes after landing. Nothing is more fun than hitting a ‘hard’ fade with a 60° wedge landing it on the left edge of the green and see it zip sideways to the right via the slice spin. 😊
Okay. This is now my favorite golf instruction video!!!❤
Thanks Bob 😁
This video is first one I’ve seen that addresses my specific swing problem. Thank you!
Happy to help 😁
Honestly your explanations are so great and exactly the info one needs to tweak their swing. I’ve always had a slight fade and hit the ball way too high because I get flippy through impact. After listening to your videos on swing geometry and mechanics I am now hitting a low boring ball (pro ideal launch angles) that starts slightly right and draws. I can’t thank you enough
Amazing to hear Rhys well done
Had a lesson with my coach yesterday on exactly this. I was delivery 35 degrees of loft with my 7 iron and this movement alone got me compressing the ball and delivery around 22 degrees of loft.
Great content, up there with the best on youtube!!
Sounds like you have a great coach
Great video Danny! I have been working on this since your series with your dad. For me, I am not finishing and appreciate you breaking this down and highlighting the finish. Its a work in process as I need to "trust the draw" and finish. I have always been a picker of the ball , this method is great and I am finally hitting the ball properly. Many thanks for your videos!
Thanks David happy to help 😁
This helped me tremendously! Every other instructional video had me striking irons at 12 o’clock hitting it far more often than not!
Wonderful to hear
