    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 it's 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!

    Your teaching is so concise and clear. I have been watching your videos for about a month and my ball staking has greatly improved. I now understand why I hit a certain bad shot. And the fix for it. You are the first instructor ( in person or video) that has helped me to understand the right elbow position. I have added 20 yards to my driver because of your videos. Thanks

    This lesson really resonated with me because after I retired I took a job as starter as a course watching hundreds of golfers hit off the first tee and common denominator when they hit poorly was a loss of balance during the swing often starting during the takeaway with a less than ideal, too far inside club head path. The light bulb in the head then went off realizing I was doing the same thing WITHOUT REALIZING IT!
    Interested in the underlying psychology of things I thought about why I had difficulty feeling I was falling off balance and concluded it was because the process of staying in balance is so unconsciously reflexive-the body mass reacts to counter the force going in the ‘wrong’ (less than ideal) path without the conscious brain realizing it until its too late to fix.
    The paradox in a golf swing is that beginners tend to do with club in the takeaway-pronate lead hand pulling it too far inside the hands-is itself an uniformed reflexive solution to dealing with the exponentially increasing force stored in the club head mass as it swings back. The first time a student is shown the more ideal outside that hands takeaway what happens? They will be pulled off balance because their reflexive brains haven’t ever reacted to a pull from the club head in that direction before.
    What the feet together drill really teaches is how to ideally take the club back because failing that step staying in balance during the rest of the swing becomes increasingly difficult. I first came across the drill in a book by Hank Johnson called “Winning the Three Games of Golf: The Swing, The Stroke, The Score which focused on biomechanics in the swing using analogies. His similar balance drill involved swinging a old fashioned broom with the butt end stuck in the belly at address. The mass of the broom greatly exaggerated any loss of balance due to technique and having the butt end of the club pressing against belly ensured the takeaway was truly ‘one piece’ with hips, shoulders and hands forced to move together in the first 45° of the swing arc until the momentum acting on the head of the broom forced the wrists to cock and the butt end popped out of gut.
    What I realized from that action of extending wide to generate force - which will cause loss of balance - is that the action of cocking the wrists does a very critical thing in the backswing with regard to balance: it redirects the force vector in the club head mass up and forward which is why a WELL TRAINED golfer is able to stay in balance. An analogy is how a figure skater does a spin starting with arms extended wide at the start then pulling the mass of the arms into the body closer to the center of rotation and balance to spin faster.
    When a golfer learns to take the club head away from the ball ‘in one piece’ without any reflexive hand action to steer the club to the more balanced inside path in the takeaway it begins force the wrists to cock automatically at just the right time and place in 3D space relative to center of rotation and balance! The swing starts to feel automatically balanced as if swinging the club head in a groove!
    What I realized from all that analysis and experimentation is that the #1 fault in untrained beginners swings was not being CONSCIOUSLY aware of where the club head should be in 3D space relative to the feet and center of balance at the point the wrists should react to the force, cock and swing the mass in closer to the feet and redirect the force up making it possible to stay in balance. So I created a drill to teach them this similar to what the broom drill felt like.
    First I would have a golfer swing the club as they had been too far inside and hold it still at the point where it would force the wrists to cock. I’d then grab the club head and pull on it, always pulling them off their feet because their is no way to brace against force moving in the that direction.
    Next I would show them where in 3D space their club head should be relative to feet and center of balance when force causes wrists to cock giving their brains a CONSCIOUS swing way point and showing them all that is required to hit it is to set up properly at address and turn hip/shoulders/hands together (as if the butt end was stuck in the belly). Once they could repeatably swing the club head mass to that waypoint slowly I have them hold it extended just before the point the wrists cock automatically and pull on the club head in the direction of the takeaway force vector.
    What invariably happens the first time the club head is pulled when it is in the ideal waypoint in 3D space to cock the wrists is the golfer gets easily pulled off balance. Why? Their reflexive brain hasn’t ever encountered a force pull in that direction! But the brain adapts very quickly to solve balance problems so after repeating the tugging exercised 3-4 times the golfer learns to reflexively tension the correct muscles in legs and torso to resist the tug and stay in perfect balance.
    What is learned by that drill how to create a great deal of momentum in the body turn of the take away to generate a effortless well balanced backswing just by consciously breaking the habit of steering the club head mass with the hands and letting just the hip/shoulder turn and stable arm triangle guide the club head mass the ideal spot in 3D space relative to the center of rotation. The short cut in that process the instructor showing them where that ideal spot in 3D space is, which broom drill and this one with feet together also teach but by trial and error until the golfer realizes it ‘feels’ better.

    Hi Danny, your last few lessons have really made a difference for me. Why? Because you’ve taken the basic elements of the swing and described them in a very understandable way that readily translates onto the practice range and course. Moreover, these latest lessons are congruent with all of your previous instructions. So helpful. Thank you and blessings.

This video (along with the previous one on go slow to go fast) helped me shoot my first 73 (+2). Beating my personal best by THREE strokes. I was either in the fairway or just off. All my irons were struck great. I am looking forward to getting out of the 80s and into the 70s more this year thanks to your videos. Please keep them coming!!! Thank you!

    Hi Danny
    My post is nothing to do with today’s video but a follow up to one a few weeks ago with your Leo and the towel drill leading to longer drives. Decided to try it out during my usual Wednesday game concentrating on high hands on the backswing and then whipping it down to the ball. I noticed three things:
    I was hitting it further, consistently outdriving my playing partners and on one occasion by 30 yards. One of my partners, who plays off 4, wondered out loud if I’d been bodybuilding! On one hole my drive measured 255 yards. Now, given the cold air temps and the very soft fairways, that’s not bad for someone nearing 69 and stands at 5’4”. Think what I could do in summer temps with the fairways firm. My target must be 280+?
    I was hitting the ball STRAIGHT! I believe with my previous ‘safe’ drives, I was getting ahead of the club maybe, leaving the clubhead behind me and therefore the face might be a bit open leading to a fade, a BIG fade or…..the gorse bushes!! I was actually hitting the ball down the left of the fairway this week probably because at address I was closing the clubface slightly to conteract the fade. So, the ball wasn’t going everywhere! The brain takes over and adjusts. I was just letting it go!
    The ball flight was much higher, with the ball in the air for longer. Again, if I’m not getting ahead of the club I feel I must be hitting up on the ball much more leading to a better ball flight??
    I have read posts from your subscribers who have got so excited at doing this or that on the course after following your video tips. I can now understand how they feel! It is SO exhilarating!
    So, if any of your subscribers managed to read to the end of this post, please just give it a go, you’ll be amazed.
    Thanks Danny.

    Combined this logic with Ernest Jones classic 1937 Golf Book "Swing the Clubhead". Went to the range at my club here in Scottsdale AZ and stroked 80 balls for the first time using this drill. Only 2 hard slices, maybe 8 fades and the rest straight or nice draw using irons, fairways and driver. I wish I had seen a video like this many years ago. Can build on this and slowly widen my stance with control and consistency. Smooth takeaway, staying on plane, keeping the feet closer eliminates body movements (any sways) .... makes a big difference.

My coach said the straighter arms improves arc and gets posture taller. Swing was also too flat so got to get backswing higher and more vertical - check point arms swing under chin and but of club points at ball to target line halfway back. Over range tomorrow, and will implement what Lee, my coach has told me and build in your Driver arc / contact tips. All the best, Ken 😁👍

    Hi Danny, I sort of lost my swing a bit whilst the courses were closed here recently, this drill has been just amazing to get that feeling and tempo back and has really helped me reduce my pulled shots massively, thank you!

  • @user-yc8su7ec6e

    I had forgotten how good this drill is. What I would add is for those practising to hit 5 balls normally and stick a marker down at the average of these FIRST. Then work progressively from slow and easy to progressively faster and progressively wider. Watching the ball get closer to the marker with shorter width and slower swings helps to reinforce that bad things in the swing are getting overcome. Nothing like having a target and then kicking its butt whilst learning - then hitting it sweeter and longer and straighter in progressive way. Thanks Danny, brilliant as usual!

    Long time lurker on your channel. Gonig to try this out today on the course! I hit my best yesterday of 97 but putting was letting me down on the temp greens. I always think far too much about my grip and swing pattern with driver but not really any other club. Recently fractured my left middle finger so can feel awkward with my left hand being the main grip.
    Please don't ever stop these videos!!

    This is in the top 5 best TH-cam golf tips for me, had to leave a comment. I found I would add way too much loft and spin to my driver that I was getting the same 240-50 carry as my 3 wood. I tried to super narrow stance, smooth swing approach and found it goes same distance but has a better lower flight and remarkably consistent in going straighter with a tighter dispersion. While I work on my driver - don't care how it looks on the course, this is 100% going to be how I will be driving it off the tee for the forseeable this coming season., I just can't get over how good this tip is - thank you Danny

    Love these lessons and they definitely help. Something I get very confused with is the effortless not even trying swings going 250 yards. Been playing golf about 20 years and I'd say I've hit it over 250 less than 100 times and always in summer with wind helping etc. They just look like you're not even trying and yet it's obviously somehow generating speed most of us can't get near. Even with your legs together so presuming no real ground forces at work there. I'd be more than happy with 250 yards drives consistently and in play, I think for most amateur tees / golf courses it's more than enough. Basically I guess I'm jealous of those effortless 250 yard drives where you don't even have to try 😂

    • @tbone2859

      Is it possible that Danny and others have jacked up the launch monitors to produce higher speeds? I have played 56+ years and have run into just a handful of golfers who can carry a driver 300 yds or a seven iron 180-190 yds and invariably these have been big boys with terrific strength. @@tbone2859 I am suspicious.

    I appreciate most of your tips and drills. This one in particular is my favorite. One thing about this video, and it may be the camera angle, but the ball position between your feet appears to be exactly the same between driver and irons. I would like to see some sort of more definitive lines on the mat to see that ball position on the little toe for driver and middle of feet on irons.

I hit the dead center of the clubface almost every time! Quick question: Should the ball position be outside the left toe for the full-width swing? It's a little hard to tell from the video.
