Always love how authentic your videos are. No cut outs of non-perfect shots and easy relatable tips. Would love to see another driver video in the near future as I’m currently struggling with making consistent contact in the middle of the clubface.
@@DanielMaude - me, too! What I think would be great is a way to diagnose the contact pattern you make on a given club (using contact paper or foot spray), and then translate that into how to reduce your horizontal or vertical contact dispersion in a measurable, verifiable way. As you know, handicap is closely correlated with contact dispersion, and it is more than correlation, it's cause and effect; but nobody talks about how to reduce horizontal or vertical contact dispersion.
There's just a few instructors I listen to on the Internet... you're #1 IMHO.... I've used your methods the most, thank you for the free advice... subbing now
Danny, love your videos. Would love to see a course vlog talking about course management, and to see all of your tips and teaching come together in a longer-form video. At least 9 holes, 18 would be even better! Keep up the great work!
Danny! I took your "feet together drill" with PW, 7 iron and Driver to the range today and was amazed and shocked at how well I swung all clubs with great BALANCE and FAR! Great video!! My new go to "practice swing before a full final swing! Thank you!
For anyone still struggling after watching this, the big key for me was keeping weight more on the front foot. Also, turning toward the target is important. Great lesson!
Great explanation of the chipping motion. Graphics are so helpful on this. From this I can figure out a method that I own. For me it is no wrist hinge and visualise the landing spot on every chip. And I will be adding in that left hand below right to get the shoulders level set up and don’t go before I have the visualisation. Thanks for another top class lesson Danny.
@@DanielMaude Been working on the set up you showed me and in the last couple of competition rounds ball striking - and scoring - has been a lot better. I have a season ticket on the range for the bay with the mirror. 😎
Just spent a couple of hours on the range and a very wet practice ground applying this teaching. The lead hand below to square the shoulders was tranformative for my strike. This is a classic in the canon of the Maude Method. So grateful to get this level of teaching every week.
Another great video, as a novice golfer the explanation of the basic fundamentals ( especially the left hand placed at the bottom first to level shoulders ) and weight transfers is invaluable.looking forward to trying these out. Any thanks again
Brilliant! This goes to my golf essentials playlist. I need to watch this any time my chipping goes wrong. One of my big issues is tension during the swing making my motion very wooden and causing me to under-commit. That leads to those frustrating shots that land in the bunker or rough. Any tips on how to keep a nice fluid motion through the swing?
Thanks Danny, excellent video again. I've been messing about practising my chipping and have been fatting quiet a few, so have deliberately been lifting my left shoulder at address, thinking this would encourage me to keep my hands up as I came through. Having just watched this video, I spent a few minutes putting your tips into practice and immediately realised I'd been getting it back to front! There's more control and consistency to the swing, plus it feels so much smoother and comfortable. Thanks again for your videos and in my humble opinion your video lessons are the best on TH-cam by a long way, I just hope I can put it all into practice when I get back into it properly in the new year, after an extended lay off. In the meantime my garden should have less divots in it from now on!! 🤣🤣
Thanks Danny! Been struggling with chipping for a while now. Great tip for leveling the shoulders and keeping left side integrity. Instantly started hitting much crisper chips. Great video!
Had a first lesson this week with a Pro...and he pointed out that I lean back at strike and hitting behind the ball. By the end of the hour I was more hitting after. So this is a very apt vlog.
Quick update... Just had a practice in the living room off the hearth rug with a vase a nice target (plastic light balls obviously). Wife not right pleased but happy to report the technique works...
There is now no further need to check in on another golf channel. Danny thanks again for an excellent demo perfectly explained and saved in my memory 😊
Excellent video Danny on hitting the short chip to a close pin! This shot has been plaguing me lately and I'm glad I found this video. I like your idea of imagining leaning against a wall with my lead side, level shoulders, and playing the ball somewhere in the middle of a narrow stance and striking down on the ball! I also like to visualize the arc that goes along with this shot! Your suggestion of pre-setting the wrists for this shot and the arms and body working together is an excellent one! Your idea of "radius control" is a good one for me because I have a tendency at times to have too long of a shaft on my shots! I really liked your demonstration over the bunker with this shot since I'm presented with this shot a lot on the course I play! Well Done Danny! Always picking up great tips from you!
Keeping shoulders level with uphill and downhill chips - line up level with the contour. I find downhill chips coming out too low sometimes . Great video Danny.
Great use of the training aid to explain the fundamental basis of the swing plane. Once I understood the impact point, when it too place I was then able to address the areas for pure ball striking for improvement. Golfers need to understand that the golf swing is a science of ‘cause and effect’ analysis. Great video as always!
Danny, I'm a bit behind in your videos so I'm just seeing this one. It is OUTSTANDING! The visuals of the swing arc and the illustration with the alignment rod are slot on. It really gives you a sense of what's going on with the swing and demonstrating mechanics. One question...I don't own a 60° wedge. I do most of my chipping with a gap wedge which is 51°. Is it the same setup and technique? Another great lesson!
This week I had a wake up call .I have been playing golf with the same group of guys all season this week the club champion asked to join us holly crap I have a lot to learn .I love this game it humbles you thanks for your help🇺🇸
You have just described many of the faults I have put together for a couple of months now. Once I had a reliable chipping action. But instead of 9 out of 10 on the green it's more like 1 out of 10 these days. The more solutions I have tried, particularly as the ground softens up, the greater the loss in confidence. So, as soon as the rain stops I'm away to the back garden to try out your advice. Thanks for this - there's now some light at the end of this tunnel.
@@DanielMaude After a few hours in the garden on Monday I recovered the relaxed chipping action encouraged by your video. Today, Tuesday, in a team match play competition, all the jerky stabs came back for short duffs and blading the ball across the green. The shorter the chip, the worse this compulsive stabbing action becomes. It was a tight match that I finally won with only one hole difference at anytime. In the end my opponent was infected with my jerky chipping and took 4 shots to get to the par 5 green from 15 metres on the final hole. This issue is all in the head. I can play good chips in the range 5 to 20 m in the garden. Put me in a competition situation and all rational thought flies out of my head. I'll carry on working at this since the garden experience shows the mechanics are there.
Hi Danny, I really look forward to your videos each week and they are always excellent. Regards to the one on chipping, I was propably the worlds worse until I started practicing left hand below right. Its been amazing, as I no loger 'chilli dip' my knees, my conatct has improved as well as my aim and distance control. I'd be interested as to your thoughts on this, for others.
Danny, this is SO topical at the moment. With wet ground conditions it's too easy to fat it. I like to set a slight angle on the trail wrist, like a small forward press and then maintain that angle and let rotation be the power source. Having a consistent routine is key. I probably need to concentrate on the shoulders being more level. The slight forward movement I started doing a few weeks ago and helps find the centre of the face more easily. (I suppose a bit similar to the change made by Viktor Hovland a few months ago) Excellent vid as usual !
As usual, a great video. I think my main problem is moving up and down and I hope this will help. I think visualising a wall you just lean against is also a great mind picture.
Thank you Danny! Always helpful to gain confidence around the green. I've watched you other videos on chipping and now I've gone from dreading chipping to now it's one of the best parts of my game. I practice chipping like Steph Curry does free throws. That's how I approach chipping like free throws. It's my chance to score without a defense on the court. Lol... Cheers Danny, Stacy
Great video. I got a request for a future video. Could you do a video with the ball being in the rough? That is where most of us are probably chipping from.
Very helpful for these tricky shots that come up often when you miss greens. When you hit them thin it really inflates your score which is my tendency. I am a 15 handicap trying to get to a 10 and these chip shots and pitch shots are the ones I need to master to get there. My typical 88 or 89 is becoming 83 to 84 which has brought me quickly from a 16.1 to a 14.6 but I have a ways to go which just means more practice in the yard.
Great video. There seem to be a few different ways to chip and I really like Danny’s method here. I tried Dan Grieve’s method, but much prefer Danny M’s. Simpler and more reliable. 👊
What a great lesson, Thanks. A different approach than using the bounce before the ball method which I’ve been trying. But I’m thinking that still requires more timing and dependant on the ground and lie which always changes. This seems better since it takes that out of the picture with ball first. I used be be great around the greens, it was my favourite shot then one year it was gone and I’ve been struggling to get it back. I just never thought about it, I just got up and hit. It was all feel and it was wonderful. Thanks for the help.
Great instruction as always. Beautiful course there with nicely mown areas around the green. On my home course, the grass gets pretty shaggy around the greens, so the ball may be sitting down slightly in the grass. Any changes on setup for that? I feel like I’m more likely to get stuck in the grass or blade it because I guess I’m trying to help the ball get up. Any advice is appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Hi Danny. Great tips on this video. Would you consider doing a video about hitting iron off the tee such as on par 3s. Does the approach change? What height if tee should you use? Do you still hit down on the ball. Doesn’t seem to be many videos in this. Thanks
Felt like I've had a really deep-dive in Dan Grieve's Release 1 there - great info and really useful to get another person's explanation. As an aside, there is a pro player where I train who chips with his hand's reversed all the time.
Would love to see a video on "where to look". Whether a green side chip or a full iron, the advice is to have the bottom of the arc AFTER the ball. Do we "imagine" that or look there? Also, if we imagine that but look at the ball, would you recommend that we look at the back, top or front of the ball?
Hi Danny, I always love your tutorial golf video’s. This one too. Great idea to imagine a wall your leaning on. But I also see you’re doing a slight press forward of the grip before you start the backswing. Are you aware of this. It works for me. Thank you! ❤
Great lesson. I spent 2 hours last night doing exactly this. Got to a point where if I didn't hole out, it was less than 2 feet from the cup. Practice Practice Practice!
Great video and explanation. The link to the practice plan is for a different video. Where can I find the practice plan for this lesson? Thanks very much.
Fantastic video. I completely forgot about the level shoulders tip which you have talked about before. Can't wait to miss a couple of greens today so that I can get up and down for par. 🙂 It would be great if you had app so that we can take some of these tips with us to the practice range.
Hey Danny, at what yardage should a golfer change from chipping (like in your video here) to a pitch shot, which for me is a very different swing. But maybe it shouldn't be? I tend to chip up to 50 yards, pitch from 50-100, and then do a full 58 degree swing starting at 100 yards. Thanks!
@@DanielMaude Thank you for the content! Im not kidding about GMW...That tape started me on golf and I still chip like Jack does circa 1982... Now if I can only apply your newer methods on the course! Cheers!
Danny, thank you and a question..uphill chip shots, I get confused aligning shoulders with the slope vs. leveling them as you describe. Any suggestions please?
I seem to always miss the green on my second shot by a few feet, sometimes in the rough sometimes in the short stuff. The issue for me is the tight lie short stuff. I seem to chunk a lot of these shots. I need these shots to be some what close to par the hole. Honestly I think I would gain three to five strokes per round if I could master that shot. As always Danny you are the best!
As always, great content. With your pitching and chipping videos from 80 yards and in, along with one squeeze the towel grip tip, I have finally broken 80 a few times this year and score in the mid to low 80s most rounds. Now if you could help me read a green with no depth perception...(blind in one eye)that Would be great😮
Just to clarify - keep shoulders square on a flat lie but would you still angle them to work with the slope on an up or downwards lie that I usually seem to be in around the greens? Love ya videos 😊
I have found that it helps me to make sure I do not get the club too far behind (inside) on the back swing. Also, on the down swing I make sure my lead shoulder moves around, rather than up. Even if I start with my shoulders level, I can still spoil the shot by raising my lead shoulder on the downswing. Hope this helps someone with better shots around the greens, which can really lower scores.
The idea of putting my eyes somewhere between the flag side of the ball and even 2" forward with iorns has completely changed my game. The loft easily doubled and the distance improved 50% day one. Keep in mind, it was my 10th round ever played!
Good video but almost a bit contradictory versus earlier lessons promoting use of bounce and club & hand position in line with sternum. How much is down to ground conditions?
Hi Ken we are always using the bounce but its always nice guarantee ball first contact. Certainly ground conditions and the type of shot you have can impact the shot
Danny, what about really short chips around the green? I'm talking about 3 or 4 yards off, where you need just a really small swing to 'pop' it out of the rough and onto the green. (usually from some longer rough) I tend to double hit these shots (TC Chen style). Can you help with this? Dave
Danny, last week you were taking a lesson from another pro chipping and pitching. I forgot to save it and I can't find it. Can you provide info ? Regards Steve
Excellent Demonstration. Especially love the graphic visuals of the wall and others. Helped me immensely.
Really happy to help Dan

Great instruction as always. Beautiful course there with nicely mown areas around the green.

Hi Danny. Great tips on this video. Would you consider doing a video about hitting iron off the tee such as on par 3s. Does the approach change? What height if tee should you use? Do you still hit down on the ball. Doesn’t seem to be many videos in this. Thanks
I only use a tee on a par 3 to give myself a perfect lie. That way I can play it just like a normal iron shot
Very good clear video, well done.
Hope it helps Robert

Danny great video, I would like to get some info from you on which club is the best and when for chipping … PW or 56 etc etc
Just think of what you want the ball to do when it lands. The quicker you want it to stop the more loft you take
Another excellent post. 👌 Explained well 👏
really love this video i think the explanation of low point and arc depth ill translate up to the irons as well! saved and will burn it in my memory!

Great advice, the last time I played I asked the club house pro to critique my golf swing, his advice was square my shoulders.
Great video and explanation. The link to the practice plan is for a different video. Where can I find the practice plan for this lesson? Thanks very much.
Let me check
Great video, Danny. One question. Would you only use your most lofted club for this chipping motion? Thanks, Anthony.
All depends what I want the ball to do when it lands. If I want it to stop quickly a 60 degree is a good choice
Another great video Danny 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew
Fantastic video. I completely forgot about the level shoulders tip which you have talked about before. Can't wait to miss a couple of greens today so that I can get up and down for par. 🙂 It would be great if you had app so that we can take some of these tips with us to the practice range.
Have fun Edward
Just chipped in for birdie! Thanks Danny.
Beautifully simple Danny. Gosh did I need this. Be good-Russ
Excelente. Thanks Danny.
Glad you liked it! 🙏
Great video, THANKS Danny
Pleasure Mark all the best
Great teaching. Hit on my chipping issues dead on.
Brilliant, love to hear how you get on
Hey Danny, at what yardage should a golfer change from chipping (like in your video here) to a pitch shot, which for me is a very different swing. But maybe it shouldn't be? I tend to chip up to 50 yards, pitch from 50-100, and then do a full 58 degree swing starting at 100 yards. Thanks!
That sounds perfect to me
Good tips, this ties into your previous vid where you pretend the tee is a nail and your driving it into the ground for good ball contact
Absolutely for these small chip shots
When do you change wedges, you press club forward hence deloft to about 56 degree sand wedge, same stroke?
Certainly can or experiment with less loft when you want the ball to roll out more
This is the best golf channel next to Rick Shiels and Jack Nicklaus Golf My Way on VHS...Hello from Texas!
Super kind thank you
@@DanielMaude Thank you for the content! Im not kidding about GMW...That tape started me on golf and I still chip like Jack does circa 1982... Now if I can only apply your newer methods on the course! Cheers!
Well done Danny 👏 😊
Thanks for the support Roy
Danny, thank you and a question..uphill chip shots, I get confused aligning shoulders with the slope vs. leveling them as you describe. Any suggestions please?
Always try and get your shoulders level with the slope
Great visual on the bottom of the swing!
Thanks 😁
What about face angle and bounce? Do you square it up and take the bounce out or try to use the bounce?
The bounce will come into play after the ball is struck
I seem to always miss the green on my second shot by a few feet, sometimes in the rough sometimes in the short stuff. The issue for me is the tight lie short stuff. I seem to chunk a lot of these shots. I need these shots to be some what close to par the hole. Honestly I think I would gain three to five strokes per round if I could master that shot. As always Danny you are the best!
Hi Danny, what a video (for such crucial shots indeed)! Just give me 2 hours and I rush to the course to test your tips. Sure it helps.
Rebalancing shoulders skewed to left really helped me a lot! As simple as that
This video comes along just as my short game has deserted me
Love to hear how you get on
As always, great content. With your pitching and chipping videos from 80 yards and in, along with one squeeze the towel grip tip, I have finally broken 80 a few times this year and score in the mid to low 80s most rounds. Now if you could help me read a green with no depth perception...(blind in one eye)that
Would be great😮
Thank you, happy to help 😁
What a great lesson. Thank you.
Thank you!
Just to clarify - keep shoulders square on a flat lie but would you still angle them to work with the slope on an up or downwards lie that I usually seem to be in around the greens?
Love ya videos 😊
Exactly
I have found that it helps me to make sure I do not get the club too far behind (inside) on the back swing. Also, on the down swing I make sure my lead shoulder moves around, rather than up. Even if I start with my shoulders level, I can still spoil the shot by raising my lead shoulder on the downswing. Hope this helps someone with better shots around the greens, which can really lower scores.
Step 2 of 3 setting the wrists totally fixed my chipping 😁
Awesome to hear
Anther great video Danny, so love Princes GC too
It is awesome
The idea of putting my eyes somewhere between the flag side of the ball and even 2" forward with iorns has completely changed my game. The loft easily doubled and the distance improved 50% day one. Keep in mind, it was my 10th round ever played!
Amazing to hear
Good video but almost a bit contradictory versus earlier lessons promoting use of bounce and club & hand position in line with sternum. How much is down to ground conditions?
Hi Ken we are always using the bounce but its always nice guarantee ball first contact.
Certainly ground conditions and the type of shot you have can impact the shot
Great lesson, Danny! Thank you! I wish I could have seen you pick the balls up with your wedge. It was just out of frame. 😅
😁🙏
great channel & teacher subbed..
Welcome to the channel
Thanks
All the best Antonio
Danny, what about really short chips around the green? I'm talking about 3 or 4 yards off, where you need just a really small swing to 'pop' it out of the rough and onto the green. (usually from some longer rough) I tend to double hit these shots (TC Chen style). Can you help with this?
Dave
Danny, last week you were taking a lesson from another pro chipping and pitching. I forgot to save it and I can't find it. Can you provide info ? Regards Steve
Absolutely Steve, here it is: th-cam.com/video/dRyoEsKrLlM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w7wUd_EE-Y-xbuQ6
Thanks Danny just tried your tips in my garden worked a treat can't wait to get on the course Monday.
Have fun Jim, love to hear how you get on
