The Ridiculous Reason Why 90% of Golfers Can't Strike Their Irons
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2024
- This is why you struggle to strike your irons pure and make solid contact 👇
1. Your sternum is not positioned correctly at address
2. Your forearms are not in line at set up - BIG ONE
3. Your posture is misaligned at set up
4. You don't transfer your weight naturally in the golf swing
5. and one cool little trick that makes your golf swing effortless
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 getting the forearms aligned at address 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!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.
I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.
We look at 3 things:
1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing - กีฬา
Step 3, bouncing the ball towards the target. The single-most brilliant thing I’ve seen from any golf coach on TH-cam. Simple yet profound. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, Danny.
Fully agree and never heard of that before. Amazing tip, thanks Danny and keep practicing those left handed throws 😂👍
Danny has used this technique in a video some time ago
To be fair, Mike Malaska has used throwing a ball to try and train students to hit with shaft lean. Using the body to drive the swing is also a lot like Malaska and (believe it or not) is reminiscent of Paul Wilson, although he emphasizes the hips rather than rib cage. This is not to diminish at all what Danny is doing in this video; really helpful and, to top it all off, free.
The only golf instructor I'll listen to on TH-cam. Great stuff
I listen to them all. 👍
Danny is a cut above
Same here
I second that!
Same here, great instructor👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yet again Danny makes so much sense without having too many thoughts
Thanks Chris 👍
Slightly backhanded, that one, Chris. I'm sure our Danny is very thoughtful! 😆
I learned more from this 12 minute lesson than years on TH-cam and in person lessons. Very much appreciated 👏
Happy to help Aloha!
Yes! Hit the ball FORWARD. Most golfers definitely imagine the wrong intention. They’re either trying to hit DOWN AT the ball, which makes you too steep, and often over-the-top. Or…. They’re trying to hit the ball UP, which makes you bottom out behind the ball, making you hit it fat, or catching it on the upswing, and skulling it. No matter what club you have in your hands, set up to the ball and imagine that you’re trying to drive it low, and forward towards the target. The loft on the club will provide the up, even though you’re trying to drive it low. Also, with all your intent focused on hitting it FORWARD, you’ll naturally end up with your weight on your left side, and you’ll feel like you’re putting “pressure” into the back of the ball. This creates a very compressed, and powerful strike, and gets you through the ball, with a nice follow through. I’m telling you people, trying to hit the ball FORWARD will change your game forever. Great video, as always, Danny!
You have good advice, thanks for boiling it down for me. I think Arnold Palmer did exactly what you say above in your paragraph. I saw him drive it low and great momentum.
@@davewanamaker3690 Thanks, bro. Even though my intent is to drive it low, and forward, I have a slightly higher than average ball flight. Hitting the ball low, and forward is just a GREAT swing thought for strike, and getting through it. Hope it helps ya…
Thanks Jamies 😁
This is by far the best explanation of three easy steps for ball striking. Especially the focal point on the downswing. I was always looking at the ball or slightly in front of it. You are 100% correct with the bad intentions this does. I appreciate you explaining how to correct this bad habit! Thank you sir🙌🏽
I just love that he keeps his lessons simple and focuses on fundamentals. He is not trying to recreate some complex PGA players swing that took them 15+ years to build like other TH-camrs do. He gets us as average golfers are just trying to make consistent contact and have fun playing the game.
Really appreciate the feedback
Excellent lesson Danny - brings together concepts from other videos of yours in a fresh way
It's incredible the way you put things across. So easy to understand, every video is like an epiphany.
Really kind thank you
Just a fantastic lesson Danny! My wife is just taking up the game (she must not have enough aggravation in her life, LOL) so this is a must watch for her as she has not grasped the concept of rotating her rib cage yet. Also great for me because even tho I've played now for 53 years....I've lost some flexibility and distance being 65yrs old. Thank You!
Danny, tried this today on the course and I had a wonderful change 0n my shots. It felt effortless in a way that I haven't noticed in a long time. Thankyou. David. I'm 72 now and enjoying the game more than ever.
Well done David 🙌
This video is GOLD…..the “using the ribs as a guide”, and focusing on where you’re trying to hit to, instead of the ball… can’t wait to try this! Thanks Danny
Glad it was helpful! Have fun Phil
Thanks for this lesson, Danny. I've been struggling for ages to try and get this right. The way you have demonstrated this three step process is so logical that I can't wait to try it.
Thank you Steve! Let me know how you get on 👍
High handicap golfer (hcp 45) here. Watched this video during breakfest today. Tee time for 9 holes was 11:50 am. Though I give it a try at the range and what should I say: it worked perfectly! Without effort my irons went as far as always but with less effort. If I added the down throw motion you describe distance increased but consistency decreased as well. So have to work on that! But amazing lesson. Thank you Danny for sharing this. Extremly helpful. On the course I had my second best round ever using the effort less swing. What an easter present. Great content 🎉
That's great mate. Well done.
Nice! It's a great feeling, just remember to drill this feeling. It's so easy to hear another great tip and forget the basics. Hope you have a great season mate.
Brilliant Dirk! Well done 🙌
45 handicap?!?
So you shoot 140 consistently?
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new to try and it renews my desire to get out there and practice! The tip about bouncing the ball toward your target is so simple but it makes SO MUCH SENSE! Please keep these great videos coming!
Thank you Jared, appreciate the support 😁
Amazing Coaching Danny!
Im getting back into the Game after 10 years and really appreciate your Style of Teaching.
It seems simple, but so are the Best Swings.
I really enjoy your videos…the idea of turning the rib cage in the back swing is genius. This one thought has improved my ball striking immensely…and I’m 74 years old. Cheers.
The ONLY problem with this video is that it is done so well and makes such perfect sense, that when I go through the process as you did and don't hit it so well, so effortlessly, I'll be crushed. Lol. You always break things down so beautifully.
I’ve been watching golf instructions on youtube for well over 10 years across many instructors, countries/languages, but that ball bounce forward is new and brilliant!
I really love this simplicity and feel this gives
Thanks danny, i started playing this year, and im already down to a 26 handicap. By far the best coach on TH-cam. I still have some work, but thanks again!
That’s amazing Jean, well done
i am a single digit handicap that has always struggled with the back swing not allowing the club to set correctly. This video instruction really helped me with solving that problem. i worked with this on the range today and really felt like i had "an a ha moment". Thanks Danny
Danny, I watched this video and came back to it today at the end of my round to leave a comment. In all the years I’ve been watching you this has by far been the fastest simplest tip to see a real difference in my golf swing! I shot a 79 today. 5 strokes better than my average!! Thanks for the great content!!!
Brilliant Justin! Well done 🙌
Hi Danny, Struggled yesterday with my irons. Timing was out. This lesson might help me fix the things I was doing wrong. I did however use the putting technique from your previous video to chip and it worked well. Happy easter to you and your family
Great lesson again. The away target is one I've been working on. Swinging down that line--staying on plane, i guess--is one I am trying to be more consistent about. Thanks!
I’ve watched many channels and hundreds of hours of golf instruction videos. You have a unique way of explaining theory around every topic that is extremely effective.
Thank you 😁
Danny you are amazing at explaining and demonstrating what we need to do and I appreciate it. I will try it when I'm fit enough to practice again. Thank you 🙏🏌️⛳
Hope it works well for you Chris 👍
Am taking your video to my next range session. I would take your smooth rhythm hitting irons all day!
Go for it! You can do it
just started golfing a couple weeks ago and your content is the first i gravitated too. friends are already amazed by my quick improvements. i’ll be here watching your videos for a while. thanks a bunch danny.
Thanks so much for your support and feedback
Two targets! A great concept. I will be taking this on board. Many thanks Danny.
Another great video. I struggled mentally for years on shaft lean because of bad advice. Your instruction is simple and understandable without getting into technicalities like lag, tempo, weight transfer, hand grip tension etc. Just smooth and effortless. Like butter 🙂Thanks Danny
You are very welcome
love your stuff danny, new to golf and this is giving me a great foundation to start with
Always pleasure to watch and understand your videos. Thank you for doing this.
Such a shame I love so far away from you! Would love an in person lesson with you, cant get enough of these vids. Started golf again last year and recently won a set of TM stealth 2s and the addiction has most certainly set in!
Favourite golf coach on youtube BY FAR!
Keep them coming Danny.
Thank you appreciate the support 😁
That single take video was fabulous. You never see that anymore with so many quick edits meant to speed up the video and keep people’s attention. This was great!!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed!
Of course. You rock, Danny.
Danny, great video! This is an area that I’ve been struggling with over the winter months. I’m getting better at swinging on target but this video is going to help me immensely! I’m excitingly looking forward to Tuesday when I’m able get back into the studio to practice this and see how it will help me. Thank you for your insight on this technique! I appreciate ya!
Look forward to hearing how you get on
Love you videos Danny!
You make complicated things so understandable.
Thanks Jim 👍
Great video one of the most important one to get right. Thanks heaps Danny really appreciate your style of teaching. Clear and concise and same time very engaging.
Thank you Patrick!
Danny this is one of your best videos yet. I have shared this with my wife and know she will make mark improvement.
Thank you 😁
Thanks Danny, the forward momentum of the body - focusing on directing the ball forward towards target as opposed to trying so hard to strike the ball that's in front of you. This concept really helped me start getting the weight forward with continued rotation through the swing, with the right forward-shaffling. So much that it dramatically changed my results. I recommend any newer golfers struggling with ball striking to really focus on this aspect.
I watched this video 2 hours before my round yesterday and I am a 14 handicap keep in mind. Could nvr hit my 4-6 irons consistently and nowhere near as far as they should. After this video I added an easy 20-30 yards per club and lost my slice entirely. Took 5-6 strokes off my round and also impressed my friends. This works guys and girls, give it a try
@westernmassbass6655 thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
I watched it fifteen minutes before my round and I’m a 20 handicap. I am now below par. Thank you!
This is the best video I have seen that connects the thoughts of downward strike , target focus and tempo. I hope it works
Thank you Don!
Fabulous clarity as always. Need to add this to the library and work on this.
Wonderful! 🙏
I did the same thing 😅
This is pure gold. I’m learning so much from your easy to follow and remember guidelines. Thank you so much Danny.
Happy to help Saeedminaii 😁
Fantastic video, Danny. How you explain the golf swing is wonderful and easy to understand. The drills also work well. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thank you 😁
I"m back Danny. You are my go to guy when I am lost on my swing after 8 months of not playing golf. And it helps a lot. Thanks.
Happy to help 😁
Literally just took this video and watched it on the range, helped loads
Just watched an older Padraig Harrington lesson video yesterday where he used throwing the ball into the ground as a way to get the” feel”…i guess its meant to be for me to try this 😜👍🏼✌️ great lesson as usual
Brilliant, Danny! You’ve addressed the number one thing I’ve been struggling with. Can’t wait to get to the range and work on it. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Have fun
Thanks Scott 😁
Mm mm q@@DanielMaude
Really good Danny. I'm glad you enjoyed meeting Pete Cowen...but this is a far better explanation for most of us than all that 'spinning the forearm down' stuff!!
Thank You for the great lesson Danny. You make it look so easy and effortless.
Glad you like it John
I’ve been a fan. But this episode! Explains so much. Especially #2. Swinging freely. I get so stiff and locked up - try controlling the club and steer it, so stiff.
Thank you!
Thank you for the videos you produce. For me I would add the "rhythm" of the forward press/then backswing significantly helps my timing, weight transfer, and contact. I struggle with wanting to add force to my downswing, thinking that equates to distance, for me it does NOT. It is a shame that most instructors want to separate takeaway/backswing from the downswing as if they were two very different animals. If I think about a pendulum or a swing on a swing set, there is no resetting of anything during the transition from top to bottom - in either direction - It is just a fluid motion. If I setup correctly and just let it happen, it is amazing what occurs when I let the club do the work. Again great video and thanks for the help .... C.
Danny again another fantastic video. I have known for some time that my problem was focusing on hitting the "BALL" and this was ruining my game. I could not get this out of my head. Some swings I would even stop as soon as I hit the ball. Just last week I figured out a way to work past this by making about 100 full swings with no ball and then working the ball back in slowly. So I am goingnto use this method to keep working on my "target".
Thanks again Coach you are the Best on YT.
Glad to help 👍
Loving the videos the connection of the body speed to arm speed makes strike so sweet many thanks
Thanks Jon
Next level advice. Simple, yet effective. Thank you.
Thank you 😁👍
This may have been the best golf video I've ever seen
Happy to help Christopher
Yes, it's the start of a new season 🎉 and again, you come up with great drills.
Since I have been watching your golf lessons, in the last 4 years, I have dropped my handicap from 29 to 20 and have won 2 of the club championships.
For this, I thank you 👍👍🎉
That’s amazing Carl well done
Mate, This has been exactly what I've been trying to get right and after watching this, it makes way more sense and I can't wait to put this to practice!!
THANK YOU
Cheers mate
Glad it helped! 👍
Excellent Danny,simple,straightforward tuition
Awesome to hear Paul
Danny, I’m a keen observer of your videos. Quite simply, they are the best instruction on the net. I tried your tip of getting my ball under my left armpit at address and your tip of pretending to hit the shaft into the golf bag is BRILLIANT. Quite simply the best tip I’ve ever had. I’m an 11 handicap and finished birdie par, birdie birdie par today for a 38 points. It’s definitely down to your tips. Had four lessons recently but got more from your video. Thank you so much.
That’s wonderful to hear Tim
Thank you so much! I was in such a bad rut with my irons... everything I tried doing wasn't working and an hour before going to the golf sim I watched this video and it SAVED ME! I was able to hit my irons and driver pure! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Brilliant well done 🙌
Just subscribed to your channel Danny. I've always had trouble with my irons and look forward to trying this technique at the driving range. You make it easy to understand and you are very smooth and light hearted with your explanations. Thank you and I look forward to watching your videos.
Thanks Rob, appreciate the support 😁
Great stuff! Thank you good sir!
Amazingly simple way of describing the swing; totally different focus 😊
Glad you liked it Chris
Wow! So simple. I'm going to combine this with the "one, two, snap it thru" concept. I love it.
Thanks again DM.
Thank you Mike 🙌
As always Danny, your connection to and description of, fundamental momentum mechanics is outstanding! As I've learned to play over the last few years, I've always believed that there were benefits in looking at other sports that move our bodies towards the ultimate target. These, like so many of your other simple yet powerful drills, help drive that home. In deep appreciation.
Really kind Todd thank you
Thank you Todd!
I just wanted to say Thanks for all your videos! They have improved my golf game soooooo much! Thanks!
Very kind thank you Scott!
Absolutely brilliant explained so well and made so simple awesome work Danny
Thank you Danny! Appreciate the support 😁
This is a great instruction Danny! Thnx ! All youre instructions are very simple to understand!!
Glad it was helpful Martin!
I’ve been watching your videos a lot of the last couple weeks. And practicing the feel of what you’re explaining on breaks at work. I’ve shot my two best rounds ever the last couple times out. 86&88 but my swing felt off.
Now my swing is feeling much more effortless, the last few days. Finally have some nice weather to get to the range and hopefully a round of golf. Thanks for simplifying the swing for someone who has only taken golf seriously the past year!
Happy to help!
@@DanielMaude I just washed to update since you replied. Was finally able to get out to the range and practice… MAN after about 10 swings I hit one dead straight and caught the feel, I was consistently hitting the ball 65 - 70yards farther (275-285 yards) when I miss hit rarely am I slicing I will typically send it left. Even when I do slice instead of a 50+ yard slice it’s maybe 10-15 yards. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ve started to enjoy the game again!
Great video Danny. You connect all the dots and make it very understandable and easy. Thanks!
Really happy to help Robert
Great video Danny as always. So simple. Can't wait to put it into action tomorrow.
Must come down for a lesson sometime
All the best Bruce
Thanks Danny you’re the best! Great video. I’m playing today and tomorrow in Myrtle beach and I’ll be sure to have these tips in mind when I get over top that ball.
Sounds amazing
Seriously impressed with how you explain this in a easy to understand way. Thank you
Happy to help Dga!
Excellent as always Danny!
Keep it simple Danny!! Especially for us simple people. I hope to break 90 this year for the first time.
You got this Peter 👍
Good lesson again of the basics. 😊
Pleasure
This is a perfect explanation of why we have flicky wrists at impact and cannot strike the ball consistently. We let the ball target override the target where we want the ball to end up. I can't wait to work with this for improving my inconsistencies. Thanks Danny...
Happy to help 👍
My problem was not hinging my wrists during the takeaway. This then allowed me to release the hinge during the swing, gaining additional speed as a result. Darren at Breadsall is a great instructor.
Brilliantly simple Danny 👍
Thank you Paul!
LOVE IT !! Thanks as alwasy Danny! Make so much sense, and can't wait to try it today!
Thank you 😁
Once again you are absolutely putting out the best lessons. We really appreciate what you do and because of you I was able to hit the green four times at 150 yards with my 7 iron. That’s unheard of for me.
That’s amazing well done
Morning, Dan - Great lesson. I had lesson last week, mainly trying to stay centred with my head in imaginary circle, which makes it easier to get left shoulder under chin and maintain spine angle. But, my arms were slightly bent at set up so needed to extend arms to get me in better posture, with butt of club pointing more at belt line - was nearer belly button. Next range session should be interesting. All the best, Ken 😁👍
I needed this so much! Thank you!
You are so welcome Tommy
Totally makes sense! Awesome tips, Danny!
Glad you think so!
Your last piece of advice is so interesting Danny. Yesterday I kept telling myself to turn towards the target and it helped a lot. I find that I naturally turn toward the target with a 9 iron chip shot from about 10 to 30 yards, but like you say, I tend to focus more on the ball than the target as the clubs and distance start getting longer, which significantly hampers my “swing.” Such great advice, as always!
Our movements are created by our target, being aware where we put our attention is very important
Couple of interesting tips for me to try soon as the practice range opens.
appreciate you a ton ! I got in my head last week and this video fixed me from topping the irons
Well done, happy to help!
Incredible. Absolutely going to subscribe.
Another great and simple to understand golf instruction. I have been watching your videos for a long time, I am amazed at the improvement in my ball striking. How about some putting tips
Thanks again
Thanks Robert 😁
This lesson is absolutely mint, I’ve been putting this into practice and works like a dream. Thanks so much Danny, simply the best teacher on YT by a long shot (pardon the golf pun)
Thank you! Appreciate the support 😁
I am a beginner and I included the tips from this video into my set-up routine. Came here to say, my iron swing improved from 70 to 100m. There is still so much I am not aware of, but this improvement was a satisfying experience. Thank you, Danny!
Happy to help 😁
Just grabbed the latest video you had....
THANK YOU DANNY MAUDE!!
I was the who was far from home, loved your towel drill, had to practice with foam and plastic golf balls for months. Point is .. I'm HOME!! All my friends that hot far DON'T HAVE ANY HANDSPEED!! THEY DON'!! They agree I have more!! A towell?? Alligniment, bottoming the club??? Chipping techniques?? I AM SMACKING ThE SNAUT OUT OF THE BALL. Remember that part about handspeed of a pro vs amateur? I spent 5 or so months paying attention. THANK YOU!!!
Danny Maude is no question one of the top instructors in the world.
If your new.... TOWELL DRILL..... we can wait. After that, DM has EVERYTHING covered
Thank you for unleashing my hand speed. I am forever in your debt
That’s wonderful to hear
Happy to help Gcoffey 😁
Thank you Danny, another great video. Much appreciated!
Really kind
As usual all great information and really practical to apply. I am sure you have probably covered this but how do you also ensure at the same time that you hit the ball with the middle of the club head rather than the toe or heel. Is there a drill/technique for that or is it just implicit in doing all the things described in your tips here.
Thats me sorted this season.
Cheers Danny ,top man 👍
Thank you James!
Yes it looks so natural. Always when I play I think about your drills. So i managed three pars and a birdie at saturady on the 9 hole cours in Pollence. Thanks for the wonderful explanations. Putting could be a theme too.
Brilliant Christoph well done 👍
Awesome lesson,Danny,You Sir are the only one l watch and listen to on You Tube because DANNY YOU ARE DEFINITELY THE VERY BEST and l thank you for all your help and your lessons!! Be Safe Sir!!!
Thank you Joseph!
Absolutely fantastic video! As someone who's struggled with consistency in my golf swings, the tips and advice shared here were incredibly helpful. The insights on naturally creating a downward attack angle and maintaining an effortless swing were particularly enlightening. The simple trick of aligning my sternum directly over the ball was something I've never tried before, and I'm eager to incorporate these techniques into my next practice session. Thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge-I'm looking forward to seeing my improvement. Looking forward to more great content like this!
Thanks for the support
Thanks a lot Danny - super simple explanations as usual. For the ball drop test, for a set up for say a 5 or 6i when the ball is slightly ahead of centre, should I be putting a bit more weight on to my lead leg to ensure the sternum is over the all?
