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!

This drill has already helped me with the proper sequencing of both the back swing and downswing. Amazing amount of added club head speed and distance. I guess I was what you call a floater. I never really created a powerful coil using my feet correctly. I use the turning the screw with my feet as a trigger, it works amazingly well. Thank you.

Brilliant Dano, I tried the drill outside and I couldn't believe the ground forces it generates. I stayed centered in my backswing as well in the downswing, not only do you stay centered but the speed it produces is effortless. I saw this video before but I didn't try it, that was a big mistake on my part. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Amazing to read Daniel, thank you
Best golf tip I've ever received. I am a hip swayer and have never used the ground properly. The 'screw' concept has given me the stability and power I have been looking for. Thank you very much for such excellent videos, I love them !
My pleasure Martin, great to hear the videos are helping
Love this video. I had taken lessons from Golf Tec over 8 years. I've dealt with 5 instructors through that time period due to the instructors relocating. They all would comment that I rotated my hips too far in the back swing and not enough at impact. This is the best drill I've seen to help with the hip turn.
Thanks for sharing Brian
Your tutorial on using your hips has made a huge difference to my game. It has improved the length and accuracy of all my shots. I have improved my average stableford score by ten. Thank you.
Amazing, well done Willem, thanks for keeping me updated
Same as the comment below, have played golf for about 20 years and could never get the feeling of a proper swing/contact but your opening a jar tip for legs and hips has done it. Hope you continue to get success with your videos, we'll deserved. 👍
When I “screw myself”, I am more consistent and accurate in my golf swing. Best golf tip that I have found online that has improved my game. Thank you!
Ahh thats great, thanks for sharing
Danny, I recently discovered you on TH-cam. Your instruction is excellent in showing the physical movements necessary to create power in the golf swing. You are easy to follow and every guy can relate to you.
Very kid of you to say Peter, really do appreciate you taking the time to feedback
On a standard swing the hips power and lead the shoulders back and lead and power the shoulders down. There are no quick and jerky motions. This form of action disrupts the acceleration and leads to throwaway. The weight shifts to the inside of the feet and toward the heels. The ground functions as a counter force. The club coming down and the feet and legs push up : true gravity golf. Your videos are excellent and perfectly genuine. Note : the shoulders impart the circular motion to the arms and club. The body does the work ( primarily ) the arms accumulate and multiply the work into power. Great video Danny. Cheers F
Great summary Fred, thanks for sharing 😁
Golf is not my only passion, as you can see on my public image but with Danny it becomes more and more number one. I had coaching from some great golf-pros on +20 years practicing the game. Recently I've seen some of Danny's videos as well as other Top Coaches of Tour Players worldwide. To my ears and eyes, most probably Danny's explanation mode, body language, voice expression and visual tools are the best on the planet. Thanks for that Danny, keep going with these magnificent videos helping golfers that can't have a physical face to face unforgettable golf lesson with you.
I’m a 72-yer old rookie golfer. I have found Danny’s instruction to be spot on and easy to follow. Practicing these techniques should change the way I play - next spring. Looking forward to it, not dreading it. Thank you.
You are very welcome Mike
Danny, Just watched your "screw into the ground" instruction. Loved it and wanted to say that what you say speaks to me. For me, your teaching method is the clearest, cleanest instruction on TH-cam. Thanks a lot and please, keep up the great work. Don B
If you study the swing of Hogan and Snead you will see their leg and pelvis action is mechanically similar to how a piston in an engine moves laterally and the connecting rod converts it into circular movement of the crank shaft. Their swings start with a lateral forward press forward and release to get club, hands, hips and shoulders all moving a few inches backwards laterally (piston action) and at the same time the back leg (connecting rod) becomes more vertical and is allowed to straighten and twist against the resistance of the spiked to ground foot. It is the combined lateral movement back and the straightening of the leg which push the right side of the pelvis forward and up and the the left side of the pelvis down and back which is facilitated by allowing the front leg to bend at the knee and be pulled back which acts like the trigger seer of a gun to hold the hips, twisted closed 45° against the back foot in place until the front knee is moved forward with a lateral movement of the hips to target in the start of the backswing.
What you don’t feel unless the back leg is allows to straighten completely is the incredible “wound like a rubber band” tension Hogan felt in his back leg and hip at the top of the backswing. There is so much twisting force he had an extra spike added to his right shoe to prevent the foot from slipping and releasing that tension. With the the hips wound up like he did, which I learned how to do, it is possible to hit shots 100+ yards from just a 1/4 swing position. He suggests a drill in Five Lessons doing that, swinging only to the point the club shaft is parallel with ground and just cocking the wrist then releasing the coiled hips to whip hips, shoulders and hands down and whip the club around the hands and through the ball. Hogan also released radial deviation through impact to accelerate and square the club in a way few have apparently figured out.
That style swing obviously worked for Hogan and Snead. The lateral movement in the backswing can be seen in how the back leg changes from / \ to | \ then back to / as it straightens and the club swinging in an arc pushes the right side of the pelvis back and forwards. It needs to be tried to be understood.
Snead’s leg and pelvis action was similar to Hogan’s even straightening the back leg more than Hogan did. Like Hogan Snead relied on metal spikes to keep the back foot from spinning out due to the torque generated in the back leg as it straightened. Past 45° hip and shoulder rotation closed (together) Snead’s swing differed because he allowed his right arm to separate and bring hands above shoulder and club shaft parallel.
Hogan preferring a lower more inside swing plane did not separate arm and had to extend the lead wrist (cock back) at the top of his backswing to avoid having the club laid off and out of position. With experimentation is discovered if swinging like Hogan with tucked in right arm and with flat wrist my club shaft was laid off at a 45° angle, but the action of extending left wrist at 45° angle swings the shaft and club head mass 45° to parallel with target line in balance over the feet. Hogan needed the coiled hip technique to get hands and club to reverse direction at the completion of the shoulder turn. In his video lessons he stresses the fact that in his swing only the hips moved initially in the downswing.
Jack Nicklaus changed conventional wisdom about hip action by successfully using a swing style in which the hand move before shoulders rotate and shoulders rotate before hips do and the degree to which the hips can rotate is constrained by always keeping the back leg bent at the knee. There is much less torque created in the back leg compared to Hogan’s swing and much more created across the lower back and left shoulder because the shoulders are force to turn more against the resistance of the hips. The power in the downswing in the Nicklaus style swing, which I first learned in the mid 1980s from “Golf My Way” and used until discovering Hogan’s in 2007, in generated mostly from the stretched back and shoulder instead of the coiled back leg.
Tiger Woods took the Nicklaus “don’t turn the hips” technique to the limit in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I bought and studied Tigers 2002 book “How I Play Golf’ which has stop action sequences of him swinging various clubs from three different directions simultaneously. I spend a winter layover standing between two mirrors learning to duplicate the same swing waypoints in 3D space seen in the photos discovering in the process what Tiger did - that swing style is very taxing on the back and legs.
Having tried to swing like Nicklaus, Woods, Hogan and Snead I find Snead’s swing style the easiest to execute consistently - allowing back leg to straighten completely to rotate hips like piston-connecting rod-crankshaft. Rocco Mediate coached by Jimmy Ballard adopted that leg and hip action due to back problems just prior to nearly beating Tiger in the 2008 US Open, the one in which Tiger was playing on a fractured tibia cause by his swing style. Other pros such as Johnny Miller and Greg Norman had swings in which the hips, shoulders and hands all move at the same time in the takeaway.
What allowed Hogan to do it so successfully was how he gripped and lowered the club at address, which is illustrated in Five Lessons as a “wringing the towel” action. If the club is gripped in the air with elbows bent the act of lowering it and letting it hand and swing freely after bending at the hips / causes the forearms and hands to counter rotate against each other pressing the pad of the right thumb down on the left and firming up the arms. Pressing down lightly with the right hand against the left pulls all the slack out of the left arm and pushes the left hand into a stronger orientation quite literally locking the hands in front of the body to the point it is impossible to move the hands and club back away from the ball except with hip and shoulder turn which Hogan did together initiated by a slight forward lateral press and release trigger move.
Hogan’s technique was quite brilliant and quite easy to perform consistently once it is understood and it is a pity so few people (including PGA instructors) understand it holistically and for that reason discount it’s effectiveness. It obviously worked for Hogan didn’t it?
Just the tip i needed to get my hips starting the downswing and using the ground for power, cheers Danny. Love your vids mate!
Thank you Drew, really appreciate the comments
Great point Drew l've never been able to feel starting the downswing with the hips. I could only feel it with the shoulders. Love this drill.
iam anxious to try your catapult drill at the range tomorrow. Thanks!
Absolute genius Danny! Thank you for this video. I struggled for years with this and finally someone gave the right visuals I needed to get it.
firstsergeantallen, that’s brilliant, so pleased it resonated with you
Dude, this a revelation, just tried this screw thought in my backyard and I finally get the body ground connection. I can literally feel like I’m on a giant screw and Im pressing down and screwing it into the ground on my backswing and unscrewing it on the forward swing and follow thru. Cant wait to try this on the course during my twilight round tonight! Ive always been a floater now i can feel it. Between this and Paul Wilson’s YT vids I’m finally understanding the proper mechanics of the golf swing.
That’s awesome to hear Wyatt, thanks so much for sharing
Danny Maude follow up, put the screw thought into play yesterday and hit the ball straighter and longer by far than i have ever done since I started playing 15 years ago. Its a huge revelation to finally understand how to properly torque and use the ground. The guys i was playing with were tripping and i was as well. Amazing swing thought Danny cant thank you enough. Its funny how i was being told this but could never feel it or understand it until you likened it to driving a giant screw into the ground. Fucking mint Brutha!!!
Danny,I found your website by chance and express my congratulations for this excellent video lesson :you are one of the rare
teachers who tells you to use the ground to power the golf swing ,plus what you say about the use of the hips is 100% true
Raymond CHASTEL thanks for taking the time to comment, great to hear you appreciate the use of the ground for powering the swing
one of the best golf lessons on youtube!
B.T. Moorer that’s very kind of you to say, let me know how it goes when you’ve had time to practice
Cheers Danny, first video I've seen that made the 'penny drop' of how to stop sliding past the ball. Coupled with lessons from my PGA pro, I'm now starting to understand the swing and what I should be doing, despite being single figure golfer for ~20yrs. Keep em coming!
Steve Scurrell thanks Steve, great to hear I’ve managed to support your golf a little
Danny, i start getting the message.... It all starts from the bottom. Wow, it‘s a whole new feeling. Coming to training with you in a couple of weeks. Can‘t wait!
Look forward to seeing you Rick, always starts from the bottom
Excellent advice, Danny. When thinking about screwing up and screwing down, I can feel a tremendous difference between what I am doing now. Makes total sense.
Thats brilliant Ron, great to hear
Danny, I actually feel as though this is creating much more momentum and energy in the downswing after practicing this move in the way you have described. Thank god we now have a small range open at one of the local clubs. I would also like to add that your weekly videos have certainly helped in reducing the tedium of this lock-down period - thank you.
Thats great Rich, so good t has the ranges opening
That was a very clever metaphor for the golf swing. Thank you.
Great explanation of basics and the science of the golf swing. Just love Danny’s methods and style of teaching.
dennis toy, thanks Dennis, Your feedback makes all the hard work worth while
Me Too!! Great teacher!! No fancy gimmicks, just straight forward basic stuff!! He's great!!
Ross Duff, that’s very kind, thanks for all the support
Nice Video! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (google it)? It is a great exclusive product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my close friend Aubrey at last got excellent success with it.
I very much like your explanation and your analogy of the screw. This is one of the best explanation I’ve looked at. Thank you I got to put it into practice now!
Nairon M Khan please do and let me know how it goes
I'm a newish golfer (
Happy to help Paul 😁
Thank you for your videos! You have a great way of helping to make more sense of these concepts. I watch a lot of the golf instruction videos, and they all help out in one way or another, but i've noticed that I tend to have more 'lightbulb' moments with yours. Not everyone learns the same way, but you are an excellent tutor.
Thats very kind of you Keith and it really helps to verify that Im on the right track
Keith you got that right...lightbulb moments are my experience too with Danny videos!!!
I absolutely LOVE the screw concept!!!
I've never thought of it in that way before and consequently 'floated' 'swayed' 'pushed the hips out' instead of rotating and STRUGGLED with the final third of my swing. This is going to help me so so much thanks Danny great video 👍🏆🏌️
You are very welcome Steve, what we do with the legs is so underrated in the golf swing. Let me know how you get on with this one
@@DanielMaude I will Danny thanks again 👍
Danny, Another great instruction on how to set up and use your hips. Your tips have helped me to not sway and over rotate, how to better transfer my weight, using the lower body to start the swing, and not swing over the top with my irons. Stay safe and healthy.
Hi Danny, thanks for doing this video - quite simply the best explaination of using the hips, I tried it last night and it works an absolute treat 👍👍
Paul Whiteley, that’s brilliant, keep up the practice
Danny -- fabulous explanation of a mission-critical element of the golf swing. Got plenty of time to groove this in without hitting any balls now!
When this is all over I'll be sure to book in a couple of hours on the course with you.
Stay safe!
look forward to having you over Anand
I am a new golfer and your videos are helping me so much. I had several years of martial arts training so frequently equate learning one move at a time and owning it with learning golf, so how awesome you used the same analogy here! I even have one of my bo sticks I am using for this. Excellent style of instruction Danny, please keep them coming.
Susan Galati, that’s great to hear Susan...keep me updated on your progress I’d love to hear
Danny Maude
Iqbal bano
Love the screw concept. Ties all the instruction together. Probably this should be one of the first things to learn. Wonderful.
I’ve heard for a long time to use the ground to generate power for distance. Never knew what that meant. Danny, cracking explanation of how to do it. Going to do the drill first before I touch a club. I’m sure it’s going to feel foreign and uncomfortable first, but hopefully I can take this to the range, and ultimately the course. Many thanks Mate. Your videos are simply the best!!!
Really kind thank you, happy to help
brilliant analysis of the swing I'm hitting the ball further now. Thank you Danny
Rapidly becoming a big fan. I shot 3 under yesterday, 4 birdies 1 bogey. I was at least one club longer on the irons, sometimes much more (e.g. 160 yard PW, 170 yd 9 iron - crazy distances). So I could have maybe picked up an extra birdie or two if I can get my distances re-calibrated. I attribute this to your part of the lesson with the stick, which reminds me of the "turn in a barrel" type of visual. I have struggled with moving forward on the downswing, finally I have a visual to get the turn done properly, many thanks! The only difference is that I lift my lead heel to take the stress off my knee and lower back.
M. Thomas that’s wonderful and huge congratulations on the progress. Appreciate you taking the time to let me know
Great video Danny... one of the best tips I've seen so far. Keep them coming.
Thanks for letting me know Jules, appreciate you taking the time out of your day to let me know
Danny "boy", where have you been all of my life? Outstanding lesson/use of the hips.
Very kind of you Harvey, hope it helps your golf
Make sure to get someone to video your swing when trying this stuff. Video of me exposed the early wrist rotation and cupping at top, hence the lack of distance and fading. After keeping the face shut on the takeaway, thinking cork screw visual, and slow takeaway, I was crushing it. Thanks Danny.
1drummingdriller, that’s brilliant...I love this image too
Another important bit of information. I needed this lesson.
E K, that great, glad to be of servixe
Thnx Danny the reason you're the only golf teacher I've subbed to. I'm a 12 handicapper and you seem to have a knack of keeping it simple to understand. When I get to whacky with my swing thoughts your vids bring me back to earth haaahaa
Great to have you here Doc, Im pretty simple my self so it helps :))
This video is great. I started golfing about 8-9 months ago. I have only recently come to the conclusion that for my full swing, body movement is everything. I now practice my swing a lot in the backyard without even using a ball. The martial arts thing totally makes sense!
Happy to help James 😁
Very interesting lesson as I’ve been wondering about the ground force but have never relate it to the hip movements. Thank you! Excellent video!
Glad it was helpful!
just played a round with a scratch golfer who hit the ball a long way with an effortless swing. He had a perfect hip move. So I found this ... it looks very well reasoned and Maude presents the material well.
I bought a new oled tv about ten months ago. Then about two months ago I started watching your golf videos Danny. I tell you they are so well explained there is so much knowledge to gain from each one I’ve watched. I don’t know how you find time to dedicate for all your viewers. But I’m glad you do. My problem is now I haven’t watched my new tv for two months I’ve forgotten how the fancy gadgets work 🤔
Stephen Callaghan brilliant and you are very welcome
the screw analogy is so simplistic! Looking forward to incorporating it!
Hope it helps Drew
@@DanielMaude Thanks Danny, i am having a engaging my hips too soon. Do you have a video for that?
Great lesson. Thank you for doing everything you do for us!
My pleasure Michael, hope the videos are helping your golf swing
Your video helped me to eliminate my slide and head movement. Thank you!
Robert Abrams, that’s great to hear, thanks for letting me know
Thanks for best golf instruction on TH-cam.
Ben Wilson, thank you Ben, I really do appreciate the feedback...it makes all the hard work worth while
This is very informative - thanks. When you watch old video of Sam Snead and Ben Hogan, there was much side to side movement in their hips - moving several inches to the right on the backswing. Do you agree? In contrast, none of the current PGA touring pros has any such movement. Your lesson today is the best explanation I have seen on the "new" rotational swing. I may be too old now to make such a change in my swing which has served me quite well over the years, but I can't wait to give it a try. Cheers Brian W.
Danny, you keep your head perfectly centered during all this. I do it and when I video myself my head is moving back towards my back foot on the backswing. I am almost able to get the head back to where it was at impact, but I still think it is effecting my swing.
It’s ok to go back a little at times particularly off the tee
I believe this is the essence of a good golf swing. Thanks Danny.
Many thanks Sukitto
Great video. I couldn't control my hips, they were either too active or lazy as hell. Here's how I trained them to work better. Stand in front of a full length mirror so that you can see your entire body, especially your hips. Now take a golf ball in your right hand (if you're right handed) and throw it as if you're trying to skim it across the surface of a pond that's to your left. Repeat the motion over and over. As you do so, watch how your hips work during the movement. Repeat the movement many times in the mirror, then take a club and do exactly the same with the club as you did throwing the ball. Repeat as much as necessary until it's ingrained.
Mark Randall, thank you Mark for your excellent content
Best explanation I’ve ever heard!!!
Matt Allen, thank you Matt
Wow!! Thank you for saying thank you!!! That’s very rare and a nice surprise!! I applied this method and drill on the range, and I’m hitting the ball with more consistency and better form than I ever have in my life. So thank you again. 😉
Matt Allen, my pleasure
Beautiful demonstration ... thanx
Thank you
Thank you for a great swing video, on a golf move that has confused me ever since I started playing!
As usual fantastic tutorial ! Thanks Danny
Warren Doyle, thanks for your continued support Warren
Excellent video , I’m working on use my hips with my coach but have struggled so far, however this may just be the method for , thanks Danny
graham stirrst, that’s great Graham, let me know if it works out
Excellent explanation as always Danny. Thanks again. My ball striking is improving a lot. I sometimes fall back in to old habits but I am getting there but by bit. I find that I just have to trust the process, especially when out playing a round, this is the difficult thing for me, bad habits have a tendency to creep back in under pressure. Thanks again Danny, great work.
tony weller, when you play on the course it’s time to let go and have some fun. We all hope that our muscles will remember what we’ve been practicing. It won’t be perfect but trust that it will get better.
Build a solid shot routine
Danny Maude Absolutely Danny. Great advice. Thanks
Tes la
Great video. Your videos are valuable. It appears the hips initiate the turn into the downswing and the club trails along behind to finally reach impact.
Absolutely, the hips move however from the way you use the feet
Danny, you are my hero. Once again .... amazing!
Liria Echarri, thanks for making me smile with your comment 😁😎
Brilliant visual presentation. Can’t wait to try this in combination with the iron striking drill.
1drummingdriller, love to hear how you get on...
1drummingdriller, love to hear how you get on...
Love the tips ! They are priceless, thanks so very much.
My pleasure Mike, hope they are helping your golf swing and your golf game
Great video. One of the best ones I have seen on the hips and balance.
Danny. The giant screw analogy, makes sense. I can never get the swing right, now I see how to correct it. Keep these great videos coming .
P. Mac Dermott you are very welcome. Keep me posted I’d love to hear how your practice goes
Amazing video...getting back into golf after a 10 year absence this was brilliant lesson
That’s awesome to hear Roy,
@@DanielMaude finding that I'm not able to get into the positions anymore so having hard time finding a swing that works ....you need to a vid on that lol
This is a really good demonstration. An improper/non-existent hip *turn* (as opposed to a hip sway) was the last major component that was missing from my swing, and I didn't understand how important it was until my instructor had me focus on it. It changed everything for me, in ways that are too extensive to detail here. Great lesson. It's a shame it can't give it more than one thumbs up, it's that crucial in one's understanding of a repeatable golf swing.
DsevenO, appreciate the thumbs up 😁
Hi Danny, thank you very much for thr hip turn explanation, especcially your creating torque by turning the screw example...gteat thank you...Heiner from Germany
Heiner Götzenich, you are very welcome, I hope it helps
Yes. It said Right “ Crazy Details “. You Summed up really well in details how to turn the hips perfectly. Well done!
Crazy details in deed, thanks for commenting
Downward pressure and the thread on the screw causes it to go into the ground on the backswing. Unless you mentally reverse the thread on the screw in the downswing, mechanically the screw will come up from the ground. Perhaps a picky point, but makes your metaphor more clear, I think. By the way, you are my go-to instructor, and I love your work.
You are spot on Ken, in reality it wouldn't work. I hope you get the idea though
I am working on my swing, and the movements of the hips, this video cracked the code. Thanks for sharing!
Pleasure really happy to help
best golf instructor of all time !
Makes so much sense to me. Another one to try
I like this one Nicola, always use the ground when you are building your swing
Danny, when you say push the screw down, I'm seeing an action in your arms and hands as if you are pushing down with those as well. So, should the feeling be pushing down with legs/feet AND hands/arms?
One of my favorite trainers!! Thnx
Thanks for the support
Very clear visual reference. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated
Thanks Danny, great video. Hip rotation is a huge fundamental and I think key to achieving a great swing. Hip flexibility is crucial to this key move and I have a great 5 minute routine on my channel that focuses on hip rotation that could help your students in their quest for lower scores.
Thx Danny another great video. Just to give you some feedback. Thanks to your video's im now feeling a lot more in control of my swing. Got a small cut in medal today and bar two bad holes could have had a big cut. I feel I'm improving week on week with your help and actually know what im doing now. If i have a few bad holes i now have the tools to work out where I'm going wrong and how to correct it. Still a long way to go as off 19 and today's video is another tip i can work on. Anyway i realise I'm rambling now but just wanted you to know what a big impact you are making on my game and consequently my well being.
Julian Roberts, that’s wonderful, so great to hear that you are making progress
Enjoy your videos, great mental visualisation
David Brown Thanks David, keep me posted on your progress
Very good explanation another way is winding a spring up & letting it go
Great image Larry
A lightbulb has just been turned on! Thanks so much!
My pleasure, happy to help
Always USEFUL videos from you Danny, thx a lot (not like all the others that just confuse you with nonsense most of the time).
I am convinced you are reading my mind! Thank you
Now that would be a talent :)
OH...This is great!! I see my issue with the hips!! I'm a SENIOR golfer (LOL) so my back and shoulders aren't as flexible as they once were. Saying that, I can still use the basics you show here to improve my swing, club-to-ball contact, and distance. I'll work on this hip thing! I'll either fix my swing or end up in traction!! LMAO :-)) Thanks again, Danny, for this great lesson!!
Ross Duff, you are very welcome Ross, you may have to raise the left heel to help the screw
@@DanielMaude I do w as tch your video of golf swing for seniors. Still working on the heel lift. I often move my foot on the down swing, and land way behind the ball. I am a work in progress, for sure!! Lol 😎😎👍👍
Ross Duff, we are all work in process 😁
@@DanielMaude 😂😂😂😂😂
Have been trying to get a consistent take-away with correct hip movement back and thru the ball for consistency - you did it Danny! Thx, on my way to be a scratch golfer. Cheers
Clear as a bell as ever. You are the best at what you do sir thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Excellent as usual
Ashur Odishoo thank you Asher, appreciate the feedback
Love this idea of turning the screw! I will be working on these drills for sure. Thanks so much.
Excellent thought process
John Rushton, thank you John, let me know how it goes
Great video once again.
Thanks for the support Matt
Reminds me of a golf instruction from many years ago; use the upper body to coil back and the lower body to uncoil.
Absolutely John, only now we advocate that its ok to turn your lower body a little more.
Hi Danny great video, I love the idea of prasticing before hitting, this is coming from a born and breed range junkie which I believe has helped at all in the long run. OK so my swing is following your teaching but I seem to get to the top of my backswing with a good full turn then I see to rise slightly and extend further. Also my rythm and tempo is not good. With this in mind I'm thinking of investing in a swing analysis gadget possibly the Zepp 2 and wondered if you had any general comments about these devices.
Paul Lucas, I would first get clear at what you are trying to achieve in the swing first and then ask yourself will this new training tool move me closer to my goal
Thanks Danny bought the gadget not quite a Zepp but a phone holder for a tripod total cost a fiver and have now worked out where I'm going wrong. Thank you as always!
Paul Lucas, sounds like a bargain, good work
I'm a slider and this a fantastic drill. Thank you
This is a terrific lesson!! I learned so much about the swing and how I have been moving my hips and how I should be moving.you are very easy to follow and I am encouraged to keep practicing in front of my mirror before I head for the range. Thanks for your help. I am a subscriber and always look forward to your content
Super video Danny. Quick question. The right hip rises on the backswing but should the feeling be of the right hip or the left hip swing rising on the follow through?
sarah reilly, personally I don’t know many that think of this but it does happen,
Sorry Danny. Should the right and left hips be level at the end of the follow through or should there be a feeling that the left hip is higher at the finish of the follow through as the body screws back up?
sarah reilly the left hip will be higher but as flexibility varies in each one of us not everyone can hold this shape into the finish.
Awesome video, something I'm being very mindful of at the moment. Hope 2021 is good to you.
Same to you! All the very best
Great video, thanks!
My pleasure Gavin, all the best

I'm gonna go try it! Thanks champ🏆
Emy Yap great, love to hear how you get on
@@DanielMaude no difference for me..I keep hitting it at the heel..is there anything I can do to remedy that?
This is very Pete Cowen - but you explain it much better. I have always been a "floater" (!!) and could never work out how to use the ground effectively, but the grip this gives on the ground is quite remarkable. It's going to take some experimentation but I shall look forward to giving this a go.
PS: on the downswing, is the pressure applied mostly with the lead foot (ie an element of lateral shift), whereas on the backswing it's more with both?
