How to SHAPE any GOLF SHOT - How to hit a DRAW | Hit a Fade | Hit it Straight | Hit it High or Low
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- If you want to learn how to hit a golf ball straight you must first learn how to shape any golf shot. If you learn how to hit a draw and then you learn how to hit a fade you now have two very different FEELINGS.
You can use these feelings as a kind of framework to work within to feel how to hit golf ball straight.
In this golf video you will learn how to hit a draw, a fade, how to hit a golf ball low and high
This skill is a fundamental to learning the game of golf and becoming a more consistent golfer. It is not something you should wait to achieve until you get to a certain standard. If you can't shape the ball both ways it's almost impossible to feel how to hit driver straight or take control of your irons.
You will also see how by improving your FEEL you will naturally strike your irons pure. It simply comes from a greater sense of what the club head is doing.

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!

Best teacher on youtube by a mile
Agree 100%
One of the clearest uncluttered teaching videos on the tube. Make golf fun and take pleasure when you curve it the way you intended. Wonderful presentation and explanation Danny.
Watched this video this afternoon and played 9 in wet and rainy conditions. Just wanted to try this way of drawing and fading. Shot one over and was truly amazed how easy and natural it felt. Promised myself I would write Danny a good review when I got home!
Super kind thank you for taking the time to do that
You have a very lively, engaging and clear way of showing how to do it, Danny. Thank you for fantastic lessons.
Thank you really appreciate the feedback
you couldnt of made it any clearer. fingers crossed it works for me, cant wait til 29th
@@mrb9849 so exciting
This is the simplest explanation and demonstration of drawing and fading that I've seen. I will be trying this at the range tomorrow.
Have fun Eric
Went out and shaped some shots yesterday and had a a lot more fun than usual out there and scored very low for me. My misses weren’t nearly as bad and I saw some different parts of my home course. Thanks!
I hit my ball from 160, to 190. His helped me so much and I can tell that you truly love your job. You comment on every comment and are so committed to explaining fundamentals very clearly. Best of luck.
You are very welcome, really appreciate the feedback
Of all the golf videos on the web, your instructions are the easiest to remember and most practical to try on the course. Thanks for great content!
You are very welcome, thanks so much for the feedback
Danny, you are now my official golf guru. After not playing for almost 15 years, and staring back,, I was shooting in the high 90's (at my best I was an 11 handicapper)-- today, thanks to you, I shot 4 over on the front, something I haven't done in 20 years! I owe 99% of it to you. Thanks for your phenomenal lessons! (FYI, I 'lost it' on the back nine, shooting 14 over, which made it 'bogey golf'... my old back couldn't take it!
That’s amazing Dayne, just shows you what you are capable of 👊🏻
I’ve been working on my draw for months. I watched your lesson and immediately went out to the range. Absolutely amazing! The key for me was lining up right (R handed) which I would never dare to do, because -duh- my slice ends up over there AND having confidence that I could shape it to the left. This allowed me to do EXACTLY what you were saying, work the fade and then manage between the two to hit it straight.
Will continue to work on this to get it ingrained! Truly a breakthrough to be able to dial it back and forth which increases the confidence!
Thank you for your energy and your very thoughtful explanations!
Love that 😁👍
Its so nice to watch an instructor with so much genuine enthusiasm. I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos.
Really appreciate that, lucky to love what I do
Love this simple lively video with your signature positive spin. One on thing of extreme importance to me is that I have discovered that a more awesome attitude equals a more awesome round. Keep these gems coming. I can hardly wait for the next one. Thanks Danny!
Attitude has such a big affect on your body and therefore you golf
These are the drills I have been working on but you've explained it so much better with a new thought process. I can't wait to try out tomorrow! Also wanted to say, I love your videos! Their to the point, short clips with loads of information and no time wasting. What you've explained in 11mins takes about 50 mins for others.
Thanks so much, really appreciate the support
'Just play' Is great advice, Danny. I think so often we get so caught up in scores, and technique and fault fixing that we forget that golf is a game and it should be a way of adding to our enjoyment of life not a source of stress.
Positivity from DM! “Just play!” Best advice yet. I always have a great golfing week, thanks Danny.
You go for it James 😁
This lesson is going to help me tremendously. I've tried to work the ball but couldn't quite achieve what I wanted. Your video has put it all together and now I know where my problem has been. You have made the lesson on shaping it's path very clear. I now feel that I have a good grasp of what I need to do. No one has explained it to me as clearly as you in this lesson. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to golf season just as soon as the snow is gone!
I spent so long trying to hit straight balls,used this on the course yesterday,so much easier trying to shape ball flight .my first hole i drew my five iron just left of the green and from there every tee I felt so much more confidence playing the shot shape that the hole lay out demanded. Big thank you 👌
That’s brilliant Matthew, thanks for sharing
@@DanielMaude complete revaluation.i always tried to adjust my stance before with mixed success,but opening and closing the club face along with the club plane really makes shaping the ball flight far more effective.i just need to get used to fine tuning the amount of fade and draw I want now.took away all the concerns of trying to hit the ball straight at the flag,this allows me to pick a apex for the ball flight and let the ball come back in towards the target.cant wait to get back out at the weekend for a few more rounds to try and zero in more on the technique.and I will have my new custom fitted p790 irons too hopefully help 🤞
I've been paying special attention to your recent videos on how to turn the hips to create a good arc to hit well. This has always been a challenge. I've been playing seriously now for 2 years and at 62, I thought turning as you taught was going to be difficult. It isn't. I was at the range today for the first time this season and incorporated your teaching in my shots and it worked wonderfully! My hitting just improved big time thanks to your clear teaching Danny! I even managed to hit fades and draws; some of the intentionally as well:) can't wait for my first round of the season.
감사합니다.
Wow thank you 🙏
Thank You so much for presenting this video! Seems this should be a very early lesson to learn. Many times I struggle with wondering where the heck the ball is going to go. You brilliantly emphasized, "having fun" with practicing. Sometimes it's hard to believe, but that's what it's all about. Never thought I'd see the day that I'd have to think about hitting a fade. Your video lessons, on making a proper turn, have changed my golf shots into mostly draws (and sometimes a little too much draw) which I have tried to accomplish for 40+ years. Have an excellent week. Cheers!
That’s wonderful to hear Bill, really pleased for you. Have a great weekend
I've never played on a Golf Course.. and at 70 with chronic Arthritis in my spine It's doubtful I ever will.😊
But I do get to play at TPC Sawgrass or St Andrews; without ever leaving my living room, through the wonder of Virtual Reality.
I have had to learn everything, starting with how to hold a club..☺️
My game has improved no end since I discovered your video's.
Everything you teach has application in VR Golf.
I can now reliably move a shot from left to right, which frankly seems little short of miraculous.
Thank You!
❤
Danny love learning from your videos, I'm 62yo and after watching you I have now started hitting in the high 70s.now if I can just learn to draw the ball I can
get lower your the best teacher on video. Thanks so much for all you do to help us folks. Tim from ft. Myers fla.
Thanks Tim appreciate you taking the time to comment 😁
Danny, your enthusiasm for instructing is infectious! I love your style and teaching technique, you go into detail on how to execute…carry on !!!
Wow, thank you Hobson
Your tips are so clear and very helpful. I watch them over and over before I go to the driving range.
Really happy to help Marianne
Thanks so much!! Not only your videos help on the technical part but also your passion makes us enjoy golf much more!
That’s great, thanks so much for the feedback Juan
This is the clearest teaching of Draw/Fade I have ever come across. I am having fun trying this out early this season. I hit a couple lovely fades with my driver. My first attempt with a driver draw ended up going dead straight about 240. Not a bad miss. LOL. Thanks Danny!
Thats great Jeff, have fun. It should give you a really good feel of how to straighten your ball flight too if you get off on the golf course
@@DanielMaude I'm having more success with the Fade. Attempting the Draw last night in league, the ball actually curved to the right, even with my left knuckles turned down. How do you get the feeling of turning over the hands during the swing when your hands are already turned over?
Danny, your descriptions of what we should be doing are the best that I have come across by a country mile! Will be watching you weekly from now on. Very many thanks. Heading back to the course next week with lots to try out.
Really kind Stuart, thanks for taking the time to feedback
Had a pretty dreadful first round of the year followed by an even worse range session the next day. I went back to the range, sat in my car and watched a 10 minute video of your basic swing setup, the one you taught your wife, and I followed that up with the best range session of my life. Golf is a strange game! Thanks for the great stuff, I will keep at it and definitely going to tinker with some shot shaping.
Happy to help 👍 always nice to end the day well
Fabulous teaching! This is like what my voice coach did with me years ago: he spent a year on mechanics; after that, it was all about the "art" of singing. Danny, you are teaching the "art" of playing better golf. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Danny! This is video iv been waiting on for so long. DRAW&FADE in one very easy way to understand,plus LOW&HIGH shots. Straight into my favourits. BRILLIANT
My pleasure Robert, hope it helps
Thanks
Pleasure Kerryn
Thanks, Danny. I am enjoying your content and energy; your lessons are a huge help to me improving my game!
That’s great Bob happy to help
I took your suggestion to 'just play with it' to the course today. My first thought was to "play with" turning down my knuckles at contact. My goodness! The compression I was getting with my irons and hybrids was wonderful.
It really helps me to watch your video - take those ideas to the course - and then watch the video again.
I will definitely continue to work on this idea. Many thanks!
That’s awesome Michael, thanks for taking the time to share
You're an amazing teacher Danny, the lessons free flowing without any cuts or edits. 👍👍
Thanks Johnny 👍
I watched this video four times this week as I practiced. Now hitting a great low controller and can hold it straight into a decent lift to right wind thanks Danny!
That’s awesome Jan, well done
Now this is someone who knows exactly what he is talking about in an easy way for others to understand! Thanks a lot Danny!
@Axel.97 thank you so much for your lovely comment. You are most welcome 🙏🏻
Can't wait for next week and trying all the great tips out on the course. As ever thanks
My pleasure David, have a great time
Most straightforward explanation of drawing and fading I've heard. Thanks for making it simple!
Pleasure George, all the best
Always a gentleman and a scholar! I was just trying to mess around with this. It is super hard right now, we still have nets up, hard to see what is actually happening and on the course makes it harder to really trust the shot if you don’t know exactly where it’s going to go. Last night on the range I was finally able to get some extra pop in my shot, people around could hear it and got some looks, that was really encouraging. I’m super excited to take this next step and as always love the information and detail.
That’s great Joe, be easy on yourself and enjoy failing at this because you will...but that’s where the learning is
That’s been one of the hardest things for me. I try to be hard on myself to do well in other sports and in work to get a good product or result. I’ve noticed the more time I put in or being critical on myself and hurt my game. It’s been a huge mental battle being so competitive and wanting to achieve my goal of being a scratch golfer. Just keep putting out awesome content for my benefit please! 😜😉
This is going to make my game so much more fun! Thanks, Danny!
It really is much more fun and you will find more natural to play like this too
This is a timely video, I was in the park the other day with some plastic practice balls doing low/high draw/fade drills. I found that by stepping back with my trail foot and strengthening my grip for draw and back with the lead and weakening for fade seemed to work. However I like this because it's all about feel.
Cheers Danny!
Absolutely Roli 😁👊🏻
This is gonna be the homework for on the driving range this week.
Thanks from Thailand
Have fun! Dirk
absolutely fantastic your training videos have NEVER got boring still working to bring golfers out of lock down with a plan of improvement I have followed avidly improving speed and direction don’t know what else to say I just feel your attitude is true to your followers long may it go on Danny you will be the million dollar man definitely you have nothing to prove great great great .
Here in Ontario Canada we got to play this Thursday for the first time this year (well since last October really) and following your videos, I played well, hit some good drives and my short game was better than ever. It just goes to show that if you watch enough it will eventually seep into your game, Thanks Danny
Repetition is the mother of skill they say 👍
@@DanielMaude Practice without purpose is like looking for something with your eyes closed
Hi Danny. I have been following your lessons since October and have never hit the ball so consistently well or enjoyed the game so much as I am now. My game had been going down and my handicap up. This week I shot a 77 (+6), my best round at my home course. THANKS!
Amazing! Well done and thanks for taking the time to share your results
Makes perfect sense the way you teach. Thank you.
Excellent video! Best guidance on ball shaping that I have seen.
really happy to help John
Your explanation of how to swing for the draw and fade is the first time I’ve ever “got it” finally. Thank you!
Pleasure Chris 😁
Your ability to hit fade and draws like that is amazing. As a natural slicer I've been practicing the draw after seeing this video. It results in either a straight shot or a baby fade. I'm not sure if that is a bad thing considering that is not right to left but it definitely has helped me on the golf course
Great stuff Danny! I’ll be playing around with these ideas at the range this week!
All the best Rob
Another brilliant video lesson Danny. This is a real game changer and I cannot wait to get out on the practice range to try out these different shaped shots. Huge thanks.
Damn! Another awesome vid from the BEST coach on TH-cam. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the support Alfredo
I love this video. It has transformed my range sessions as I can vary the shot I want to hit rather than just trying to hit straight. Much more fun. I can hit a shot with draw now and I I hit really straight shots when I try to fade! Work in progress but useful to know. Your chipping video was a great help too.I have stepped down from rounds in the 90s to the 80s. Thanks for the really helpful videos
thats fantastic Ian, thanks for taking the time to share
Danny, one of the best lessons ever. Thank you!
Really happy to hear that, hope you enjoy experimenting
Great video Danny - love the enthusiasm. An excellent way to approach hitting the ball.
Glad you enjoyed it Bob, all the best
Hi Danny another fascinating lesson in golf. Can’t wait forMonday to get out and try all the new things you have demonstrated during lockdown. Cheers Trevor
Enjoy Trevor
Hard to thank you enough for another great video. Great start to my Saturday mornings. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible lessons with us.
My pleasure, hope they help your golf
Exactly what I needed. Thank you. Can’t wait to use these feel-based tips in the wind at Brighton and Hove next weekend.
Enjoy Paul!
Good morning Danny. Some people are going to be having some fun at the range today. Good stuff as always!! All the best.
Go for it 😁😁
This is a very helpful video, thanks a bunch Danny.
Thank you Danny...you describe the shot making instruction so well. Clear and with a ton energy.
Looking forward to trying it out soon.
Cheers
Good video Danny. Simple but very informative. Cheers mate.
Pleasure 👍
Great tips Danny. I am really trying to get a handle on the mind set of shaping the ball. You've made it simpler to understand, high, low, fade, draws. Thanks bunches...
Pleasure John, hope this helps
If only it was so easy Danny !! Great lesson again.
Thanks Rich, hope it helps
Certainly helped on the driving range Danny hopefully will prove successful on the golf course ! Still finding it hard to fade the ball though.
Thank you so much for the video and training plan Danny.
You are very welcome
Great video i have difficulty drawing the ball seems much clearer now thanks Danny.
Stay safe
John
Happy to help John, all the best
Great Lesson as always. Reminded me that I use to be able to hit a fade or a draw when I wanted to but couldn't remember how to do it. Of course that was 30 years ago. Now I know again. Thanks Danny!!!
My pleasure Tom, hope it helps
Great as always. Simple, effective tips.
Thank you Thomas , I hope they help
Fantastic Danny, after i learn how to swing correctly from your video last month, this video make me know how to hit draw, fade and straight.
thats great Tony, it should naturally help you hit the ball straighter too
@@DanielMaude Help me quite a lot.👍
Absolutely fantastic Danny, love it 👍 Simple, fun and great advice
Have fun out on the course Stuart
Another excellent easy to follow video from an enthusiastic teacher who encourages you to try
& also TO SUCEED. I appreciate the practice plans which are very useful. Thank you Danny.
You're very welcome Alan, have a wonderful weekend
Danny very helpful will take it to the range🤟
Awesome play well
Another cracking video Danny. You hit some excellent shots, definitely something to aspire to be able to do. Have a great weekend and for once roll on Monday
and you Julian, really looking forward to seeing golfers again
Super video Danny, great emphasis on fun.
I would love to see more golfers having fun in the process
Thanks again Danny. I definitely fell into the "let's just hit it straight first" camp so it's refreshing to hear you breaking apart that preconception!
Morning Danny, I've got 3 of your videos to work on when ranges open. I will be happy just to play Monday wed and Thursday, back to normality hopefully. Cheers mate 👍
Absolutely Dave, next week it will be all about having fun
Really enjoyed that lesson Danny. Brilliant as usual. Off to practice now 👍
Enjoy Ken 🙏
Danny your videos are excellent I learned so much from you, I have been playing for plus one year and I love the sport keep up the excellent work you do I watch most of your videos thanks again 👍
It’s such a great game isn’t it 😁
Danny, I wanted to share with you that since I’ve been working with you over the past two years, my index has decreased from 17.1 to 11.7. This past weekend, I played in a nine hole match tournament with six teams per flight over 45 holes. My partner and I won all five matches and ended up with 11 points. That was the largest margin of victory of all eight flights. Unfortunately, after two days and 45 holes, I was exhausted and did not do well in the horse race. But I won a bunch of money and I got a trophy. Thanks Danny.
Thanks Danny we all try to make a straight shot but now i now there are different ways.
Absolutely Hans
Great Video. Thanks Danny. Can't wait to get to the range.
All the best
really LOVE your teaching style !
Thanks for the support Murray
Great video. I’ll definitely try these tips this weekend!
Have fun Ernest
Morning Danny
Great video again going to put some of the information into my game of this morning great to hear that uk are allowing golf again been playing through this lockdown in Spain so been lucky thanks again Danny great teacher 👍
Thank you John, have a great weekend
G'day Danny, My wife had a book by Beverley Lewis "Golf for Women". Beverley made no assumptions about the beginner's knowledge so every instruction was included. In the book. Shaping shots was explained quite simply, I used this method successfully and showed a few guys what to do. Recently I found Greg Norman used the same method. Beverley Lewis' book was published in the 1990's. Beverley was for a while head of the PGA unfortunately she died in 2019. I have found a copy of the book on Amazon.
Hi Danny have really enjoyed your lessons, clear and very easy to understand, going to try and get a handicap this year.Thanks
That’s great Ziggy, hope this works out for you
Game changer! Your the man Dan!
Hope it helps Dustin
Hey everybody, you just found the best golf instructor on you tube. No need to surf anymore, no more purchasing golf gadgets. Dude, yah no from Paisley? Yah?
Yorkshire man 😁
Up to driving range before first game after lock down next Wednesday, this will be a great practice guide to get the "feel" back. Thanks Danny.
Have fun Graham.
Thank you from Florida.........always a great way to start my day, off to the range!
All the best Ann
Another great video. You make a complex topic simple & fun.
Another great video, and, in my humble opnion, one of your absolute best. Thank you, Mr. Maude, for teaching me to shape my shots while improving ball strike at the same time!
You are very welcome, have some fun with it 👍
wish i could hit the thumbs up more than once Danny, great video, you put it across so well, thanks
Thanks so much Pat
How do you get the notes for your lessons - can’t find it in the comments section
Great video Danny. I really like the way that you explain it so simply.👍
Thank you Paul, hope it helps you take it to the golf course
@@DanielMaude we shall find out from tomorrow!!👍👍
This is most interesting - I have tried for years to hit Draw and Fade - but I have never had a method I believed in - now I have that - and it will be very interesting to experience the result
Have some fun experimenting Kenneth
This is such a good drill. I felt like I had complete control over my shots today at the range by practicing this. Thanks for putting together some great content!
That’s wonderful Nick, well done
Great stuff, Danny. Another valuable lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it Bill, thanks again. Hope you are safe and well
A great lesson Danny, thank you so much.
You are very welcome Edward
This is a great one Danny, enjoy getting back out on the courses 👍
Can’t wait for Monday Kevin
Single figures here I come😊. I’m sooo close to my goal. No one has ever aught me how to shape my shot particularly right to left and keeping my irons low. My natural is a high fade through all my clubs . Effective, but losing me my iron distance. My draw shots are by accident and I didn’t understand how I did it ha ha. Many thanks Danny . Cheers Anita.
Enjoy practicing Craig
