    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!

    Ok, I know I am late to the game here but….. just saw this video and I think it is worth re-posting as a newer video. This one video was like magic. Of course I was one of those that thought rotation meant turning. This has fixed my swing and downswing plane. I videoed my swing prior and afterwards. No comparison. I am on plane. When I used a launch monitor, I am about 40% more accurate that I was. THANK YOU DANNY!!!!

    I was on the driving range, struggling with shot consistency on all of my clubs. I suspected the problem was in my hip rotation because I didn't have a set rule aside from trying to move the hips first on the downswing. I watched this video, picked up the pitching wedge, "stepped on the accelerator," as the video teaches, and hit 7/7 straight down the middle to 60 meters every time. Picked up the 5 iron, 3 wood, 7 iron, and the driver and saw nearly the same dramatic improvement in consistency with every one. This may be the most effective golf drill video I've ever watched!
    Thanks for posting!

    Danny Maude Here ! Just read an article by GOLF AI , not going to type his name , he recommended one of your you tube videos about a hardware screw below the hips , I’ll watch that one later , just wanted to say , as a long time upper body mover who developed the classic flat shoulder turner, head moving off the ball / left wrist pivoting around the right wrist , loading into the right pivot point ( Ledbetter ) , golfer, I find this video most informative ! Straight - line turn of my right just changed everything in an instant ! Retired Teaching Professional , so I know ! Thanks, John ps. It’s the hips that turn the shoulders and correctly, no need to think about that anymore !

    Danny, I started playing golf 50 years ago as a 14 yo. I was playing some good golf during 1990's when playing regularly and off a handicap of 14. Had a number of time-offs from golf since early 2003 ... never recovered. Played 5 rounds late last year and struggled badly. So bad, I decided to start from scratch. Found your video on the stance and addressing the ball. I practiced that it made sense. I then went looking for your videos on the next steps. Went outside in the backyard and practiced the next steps. After 4 weeks of no golf, just learning & practicing I went out for 2 rounds at my old club. Guess what no more slicing, irons straighter and longer, driver finding fairways more consistently. Yes, old habits creep back, but I knew what went wrong. Still more work to do, but the sense of confidence in playing shots is uplifting. Thank you for your solid, simple teaching.

    For me, this is a golf swing epiphany. I have worked so hard on my swing over thirty years with many top notch instructors, one a perennial top five rank in the nation. I’ve gotten it down to trying to finish low and left like Mr Hogan. This concept not only has put all of the bits and pieces together, but also now that I am not trying to TURN so hard I am finishing lower and more around. Breaking old habits will take a little time but I am so elated. Thank you, Danny!

    I’ve had lessons recently where I was told I early extend and don’t rotate my hips. After “fixing” my early extension and getting my hips more active I have frustratingly started hitting the ball really inconsistently with huge slices, the occasional straight pull and regular shanks. This drill has shown me that I’ve been thinking about hip rotation in completely the wrong way - I’ve been focusing on firing my trail hip as fast as possible in the downswing which is causing my shoulders to spin out at the top, whereas the first drill in this video very quickly demonstrates the correct way to rotate the hips. I can’t wait to take this to the range. Thanks Danny!

    I have to say, I stopped playing a few years ago and just started again. I took a few lessons but couldn’t get my swing back. I happened upon your channel and watched a few of your videos. Suddenly everything clicked. Your way of explaining things makes perfect sense to me. I was supposed to play 18 today but we were rained out so I went to the range and played a par 3. My ball striking was better than ever. I got more from a couple of your videos than all the lessons combined. Thank you. You made golf fun again.

    Danny this idea of pushing hips back instead of rotating is truly a revelation. I have seen no one else teach this. I have tried it and it really works in keeping me better centered over the ball. Thank you!

    Danny, great lesson, I've enjoyed so many of your videos, all have made improvements to my game but this one made the greatest difference so far! It's amazing how this simple advice corrects years of improper swing mechanics; I've had to club down on all my irons because my distance (and aim) has simply improved so much and so effortlessly! Keep the awesome advice coming!

Was a little worried at first, thought you were trying to teach us how to do, "the locomotion", but you brought it home with excellence! :) Thanks for your continual effort in helping us be better at this great past time. Keep the family safe during these crazy times!

    Wow great tip! This might be the best drill/movement for the whole year. I went out and did this today with great results! I have always had issue hitting behind the ball and after seeing myself in a video I noticed I swayed back too much. This movement solves that and I hit the ball great! Thanks so much 👍🏻

    Hi Danny, hope you and your family are keeping well. I was a member at Canterbury G.C for a couple of years 2015-17 and had a few lessons with you. I am now back semi-retired in sunny Belfast waiting for golf to start up again at my new club Dunmurry G.C.
    After trawling the internet for golf videos to help my game improve, including watching hour and two hour videos from the greats such as Seve and Jack Nicklaus, I restarted watching your you tube videos again.
    I can honestly say they are so engaging and helpful delivered in a very straight forwarded manner. I find the individual drills very helpful and easy to follow. Now that I have settled on your tips to improve my game I relish the challenge of getting back on the course as a senior member and get my handicap down.
    Many thanks again Danny
    I think it’s that straight talking, no nonsense Yorkshire approach which appeals so much.
    Take care, Brendan.

    Danny, Thanks for all of the great content. I love the way you try to make everyone "feel" what a good swing is for each of us and knowing we will all have different swings. I've had the 'light bulb' moment w/ how you explained the linear movement of the lower body. I have been hitting my irons with much more confidence. Now I look forward to the Par 3 and long approach shots. Keep up the great work!

    Danny.....I discovered and started watching you and listening to your advice almost a year ago. I am always looking for ways to improve my game. The problem is that most pros that I see online or at local clubs where I have taken lessons are often too technical, don't take into account the golfers limitations / swing and just have strange improvement methods. What I truly like about you teaching methods are that you take a common sense approach and teach using easy to understand drills and suggestions. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work! You are very much appreciated!

    I have never commented on a video before and thats because I have never learnt anything i had never heard before UNTIL today. I've been away from golf for 3 years, I have always struggled with weight shifting and now I realize it's such a natural movement if you don't constantly tell yourself you need to rotate your hips. Thank you for this video, you deserve an award for this one 👏🏾.

    Thank you so much for this eye openener. I struggled a lot with swaying. The linear movement of the hips helped me to „turn“ better. This lead to better strikes and more control.
    I like to push back my back hip with my hand in my practice swing to feel the feeling.
    Best regards
    Lars

I’ll take that any day. Thanks again and be safe.

    Great instruction, however I seen two things happen. When your swinging without the ball, yes you seem to be still, when you get behind the ball you do something different, you shift all your weight to your left leg for power in which you said was not true, but you do it. It shows up in the slow motion portion of the video. Your viewers should know that their is a shift to your left leg in order to get the power as well as getting your hands ahead of the ball past the hips. But the basic principle still remains in this video and is a good start for anyone struggling or needs to be reminded not to stand up out of the shot. Thank you.

  • @fentontaylor9021
    @fentontaylor9021 4 ปีที่แล้ว
