Thanks! Danny, this video is the holy grail of my golf swing. I’ve been searching for this explanation of the downswing since I started golfing 30 years ago. I played today incorporating this technique and hit nearly every ball straight and true, effortlessly. The ones i didnt hit well were in difficult lies. Thank you!!’
Many thanks again Danny, Ive been playing for 25 years and had many many physical lessons but your videos are better structured than any lesson. I moved to NL three years ago and just had my first lessons here and it was better than most. The pro told me exactly what I already knew but importantly he showed me how to fix it, get your hips moving first. Didn’t try to change the world, just how to fix it. He finished with one small comment that resonated with me, “ don’t let your trail shoulder overtake your lead shoulder” . I so wish someone would have said that 25 years ago.
@@vincentkingsdale8334I’m no expert but imagine swinging so that a right handed golfer’s right arm is coming around so hard that you end up pointing left of the target as you hit the ball. That would be the “trail shoulder (right shoulder)” overtaking the “lead shoulder (left).” Anyone is free to correct me. Another way of thinking about it is being square at impact means the club facing the target. So if you are too fast with the right side you won’t be square. Golf is hard because you can’t be too slow either. It’s all about balance.
@@vincentkingsdale8334Yeah, can mean many things, as it’s impossible for your back shoulder to be ahead of your lead. What it likely means is don’t let the trail shoulder drive the swing. If your trail elbow is tucked, your trail forearm facing up, your trail wrist flattened and you’re dropping the club, then your trail shoulder drops and follows. To me, that means don’t even think about the trail shoulder; it just follows everything else. A ‘shoulder turn’ is also one of the misconceptions about a swing; it doesn’t drive the swing, but follows naturally. IMO, and I’m a huge fan of Danny so hope I’ve not screwed that up….😮
This is the single most important golf video I have seen on TH-cam. Starting the downswing, and allowing the club and body to take over, is the most difficult part of the swing for new players. Breaking it down in this fashion makes it make sense and gives people a true step-by-step for how to properly execute the downswing. Thank you for this video!
This is by FAR the greatest video EVER on the downswing. I can’t believe after 7 years of struggling to get the “feel” I literally got it within 30 seconds. Thank you Danny! Is this movement the same for Driver as far as the trail elbow? Also, would you also say this is the same motion for shots inside 100 yards? I’m confident this video just changed the golf community forever.
Exactly what I was working on at the range yesterday. I’ve been coming over the top for 40 years. The difference when swinging like this is incredible. I knew what I had to do to fix it and yesterday was the first time I’ve been able to do it. This video has just confirmed that I’m on the right track. Brilliant lesson as usual Danny. Thank you
This video is excellent. I’m a 10 handicap who has struggled with shanks for years. Have been to a number of top local instructors to no avail. I watched the video several times, practiced a few dozen swings and took it to the course. No shanks and many more absolutely pure shots with all my clubs. I have to work on the rhythm next season but am thrilled to find some swing thoughts that actually helped. I appreciate your manner and videos Danny. Thank you.
Love the fact that you spend a few seconds to explain proper grip. Sometimes I’m too fixed on other parts of my swing and get lazy on making sure my grip is right.
I spent weeks trying all these things trying to correct a slice. Then I saw this video, changed my grip and all my shots were pure. Always start with grip 😂
Just thought I’d jump on here to say a huge thanks … I have been struggling with strike consistency for a long time now, especially 120 yards in. I played in a club comp recently, and whilst I played OK I only managed to score 20, because I just couldn’t manage my direction, distance control, and was tense and fidgety over the the ball. I have been using this method a few days and today I scored 34! Not only could I not believe it, neither could my other half, who I was playing with … she said and I quote “It was like playing with a proper golfer 😂 “ Everything was just so crisp and solid and the sound of the ball coming off my irons! … Pessimistically, I’m now expecting either the bubble to burst or for my alarm go off for me to get up! Thanks again Danny another pearl!! 😊
@@DanielMaude Thanks Danny, quick question … after a chipping session, I took this exercise to the range today, off mats, and bizarrely, I just couldn’t make it work … I’ve always, always had a problem off mats, just can’t get on with them … is this common and if so why … Thanks again … Best wishes Robin
Danny, In the few years I have been playing (now in mid to upper 80’s), this is the single most transformative piece of instruction I have ever experienced. Although I am right handed I have relied on my left arm/hand to do all the work from the top to impact, never feeling any right- hand contribution. After watching this video, I went straight to my garage setup and I was astonished that letting the club drop and using my right arm to throw the club at the bottom was a miracle (I think I heard the angels singing). It made everything so much easier, and my club speed and ball contact so much better, and my finish was naturally picture perfect (versus semi-forced). Consider posting this video again, maybe with a new title re: “throwing the club” or whatever so that another 500k viewers can benefit from this SUPERB instruction. I am still astounded by the immediate results!!!! Wow! So many thanks!
This really tied together for me Monte's No Turn Cast concept and AMG's video of lowering the arms. You really did an excellent job demonstrating this. I recently had a lesson due to me rushing the downswing and my instructor was trying to get me to do this, but you put it more simply where i could get the feel of what he wanted me to do. Tried this in my sim last night and it was a world of difference in my ball striking. Thank you for the video!!! It was a tremendous help!!!
I tried incorporating this drill in my downswing and after I got the feel for blending the connection of the right arm to my right side as I straightened my right arm really helped my downswing. I achieved more consistent contact and ball compression at the range today.. The up, down, and around really works. It works best when you make a complete backswing prior to incorporating these downswing techniques. To me it seems to ensure that I turn my right shoulder thru on plane in the downswing which really stops coming over the top and increases side bend in the downswing.
Hi Danny! I just wanted to say thank you for doing these wonderful videos! I usually just play 9 holes with my Dad & yesterday on my birthday, I broke 40 for the first time! I combined this video & another video of yours about 3 years ago called “how to start the downswing like a tour pro.” I’m thrilled that I can finally play some decent golf! Thanks again!!
I wish Danny was my original swing coach! I was instructed to swing downward when I began playing. My swing has been much too steep as a result. How Danny demonstrated and explained the downswing mechanics was the easiest to comprehend. Now, I'll need to repeat this new mechanics over and over until it becomes natural to me. Thank you for making it easy for a guy like me to understand.
Absolutely fantastic swing lesson Danny! This has become my one and only swing thought, and it has made my ball striking so much more consistent. Thanks again for another great training video.
What fantastic, simple explanation of the golf swing. I’ve tried this and it’s changed my swing from an out to in to a more in to out or straight path. Thanks again Danny. 👍🏻
Mr Danny Maude, thanks for this video and how you explained everything. I had a light bulb go off and it all made perfect sense to me. I can’twait to get to the range to practice this. I really appreciate how you simplify things in your videos. It really makes a difference to us average golfers trying to improve our game. 🙏🏼
This might be the most important golf lesson ever. I've been trying to figure out lag for 2 years. This video immediately clicked for me. After just a few drills I started to see the club dropping down parallel to the ground at the top of the swing and my lag looks much netter when my hands reach knee high before impact. I saw an immediate 10 yard gain with my 9 iron with a baby draw. Thanks Danny. Brilliant!
This is possibly the best instruction of the downswing video I have ever seen. Was actually close to giving up golf before watching this. Was totally lost with lag, shaft lean etc. This when done correctly feels like the purest motion through the ball I have ever felt. So much speed through the ball. Thankyou for this video. 👌
Used the back foot down just prior to backswing as described in last week’s lesson and I won the comp and got below 20 HI for first time! Drives 5 yards more and straight. Made me more athletic. Thx as ever.
Genuinely the greatest swing video I have watched... and I've watched hundreds upon hundreds. I hover in the 8-10 handicap range and this is going to bring my scores down for sure. Butch Harmon and Tiger do a drill similar but even the two of them couldn't describe it as clearly as this. Great stuff Danny.
Right...so...I never comment on videos, but I have to thank you for this one Danny. I worked with an instructor who was trying to get me to move the club more vertically as I had that wicked over the top, left shoulder leading move. I struggled with it mightily and I just couldn't seem to grasp moving the club downward with the arms to start my swing. Now I get what he was trying to tell me! Part of my pre-shot routine now is to sense my right elbow connecting, then right arm extending. It's making a big difference. It still feels weird because I'm not used to engaging my arms at the beginning of the swing but the results are undeniable. Thank you for this and your other lovely content.
This is where I am stuck as well. What a well timed video. I do the same thing and I knew I was doing it wrong. I am going to use this drill to try to correct my p3-p5 in my swing! Thanks for another great video.
I have been playing golf for 10 years, and I always struggled with both contact and direction the ball took off. This video cured both! Thank you, Danny!
Amazing. In the last 3 years every time I film myself hitting the ball I'm fliking and this lesson stop the fliking and also made the shaft straighten after the shot amazing thank you 🙏
Hey Danny just wanted to give u a shout out!! I'm over here in USA Atlanta Ga!! I just started back playing back in Aug!! 2023 an I've also lost 115lbs so I'm constantly going threw a swing change an your tips an drills an videos have helped tremendously!! Just wanted to say thank u an keep doing what you do!! Thanks!!
Absolutely genius explanation - as a long term viewer have always appreciated your clear concepts and demonstrations, but this video is a game changer and transfers to the course surprisingly well. “Down and thru” is the new, and only, swing thought!!!
❤ Cant thank you enough for this video Danny. I have seen heard and read many coaches even Pete Cowen talking about how the arms work up and down and the body around, but I could never get it to work nor picture how that could work. Your 3rd demonstration @2:35 (club thrown down and out at 45 deg angle) made me finally understand the concept better (not completely yet though). Confused how the video thumbnail shows straight down but this demonstration shows 45 degree like the red arrow in the thumbnail. Would absolutely love perhaps another video on more of where students go wrong trying to work in this change. Like if they slice it or have poor contact with this move. I realise even as a right handed golfer, thinking of my left arm helps me swing better. @3:45 when the right arm straightens and gets thrown, would it be correct to say the left arm supinates some? The twin views are so helpful. Many thanks!
This video is timely, because I've been struggling with excessive shaft lean in my setup. I didn't know I was doing it until I recorded my swing from face-on and saw it for myself. Suddenly, I understood why I was topping the ball so much with my irons. Too much shaft lean at setup and trying to hold that position throughout my downswing. All I did was move the club handle about three inches to the right in my setup (I'm right-handed), and it fixed it! Great video, as always, Danny!
Great lesson Danny- I am hitting little punch 7 irons about 160 yards with little knock down shots. Haven’t yet mastered the full swing yet. Focusing on Turning more at impact as my tendency is to hook the shot if I let me hands take over
Just amazing just been out on the course and never hit the ball higher and longer. Thanks Danny what a amazing drill.. hopefully will keep practicing and only get better.
Hi Danny. Just came back to game after 12 years. After 2 months of watching instruction videos, I've cleared every one saved except yours. Thanks, you're really helping me
Bravo! Bellisimo! I've not looked at the down/forward swing as a two part process, I've always tried to coordinate it as one piece just trying to get the club back to where I started. But that's prevented me from gaining any real distance. Your process here shows me the lag/whip happening naturally, not by force, but by technique. Thank you!
brilliant video. it was exactly what I've been working on myself without understanding the correct feel. the right arm drill is brilliant. can't wait to try this on the range
Danny, you make it look so simple. Each of your practice swings is perfectly in front of the ball with that crisp sound of the club face grazing over the grass. You make it look too smooth. Another brilliant video. Thank you.
Wow!!! Danny this was amazing!! I just tried this on some 80 yard shots. The results were amazing! I tried something like this last year, but I didn’t have the explanation you provided about reconnecting the elbows and feeling the elbow start the whip. I was thrusting the right arm down too much. The concept of just dropping and reconnecting the elbows, and letting the energy whip through impact is perfect! There is obviously more to the swing we need in place for this to work (you need a good backswing and follow through too), but man, this is a huge part of the downswing! Explained magnificently! Was effortless distance today! Thank you very much!
@ hi Danny, I haven’t quite mastered it but definitely not hitting as many fat shots. I think my main problem is I swing to fast to try generate power. Thanks Paul
This was an excellent video for my issues. I have had an over the top downswing with no lag. I can’t wait to start practicing these drills!! I hope if I practice them daily, I will see a difference! Thanks Danny!!
I have gotten much better at golf since I started watching your videos. I'm pretty happy with my swing now, but I still watch and like every video. They are all so informative.
I don't listen to golf pros or commenters on TV. They seem to express their thoughts without thinking about the repercussion that can impact amateur viewers in a very negative way. On the other hand, I listen to Danny Maude and keep watching his videos repeatedly. His ability to connect with amateurs through words and drills/actions is a god given talent.😇
Hi Danny . Tried the new sequence in my practice yesterday played great afterwards ,I’m off 1 but been struggling with strike . This will be part of my warm up from now on . Cheers.
This tip really has made a massive difference to my swing and consistency. Playing some of the best golf I’ve ever played. Thank you very much Danny. 👍🏻
Excellent job Danny on describing and demonstrating how to master the downswing! My new thought process is now going to be "down and around!" Well Done Danny!!
Hi Danny, all your videos are great but this is the best one ever. Just went to the range, I can't believe what a difference this made, pull the arrow out of quiver! Thank you.
Hi Danny, a big thank you for thus great video. Been having trouble with consistent and pure striking. Following your instruction really improved my game. Thanks
This instantly fixed my path which I’ve really struggled with for a number of years. First time hitting nice push shots with ease. What’s your best drill on getting clubhead squared to get things going straight after this?
Why have I never heard the downswing described this way before? Worked beautifully today, hit the ball so solid throwing the club at the bottom. I've always had my arms dragging behind never felt that snap of throwing them. Thank you Danny superb golf lesson.
Danny, I found your videos about 3 weeks ago and have been practicing using your tips. My drives, irons play, wedge play, and chipping have all improved!!! I’m playing 5-7 strokes better because of your tips!! I thank you and you now have a devoted followers.
*Bing*! Lightbulb moment!! The whole drawing the arrow from the quiver, totally resonates with me. As I turn I reach for the arrow, at full turn I grab it, then pull it out and turn in one fluid motion. Man, I love it when you cover something I'm currently having problems with. I think I've been dragging the arm, or doing something weird to try and stay inside, which has been really randomising my results lately. It's a shame I'm seeing this on the morning I've sold my irons, but at least I've still got the wedges to keep up the practice at my local p&p. As ever, thanks, Danny.
25 years listening to golf pros on TV and in person this is the most simple brilliantly communicated drill thank you
Happy to help Harry!

Well done. Another great video. Congratulations on the 1.3m subscribers. You’ve worked hard and earned it.
Really kind Pete thank you
❤ Cant thank you enough for this video Danny. I have seen heard and read many coaches even Pete Cowen talking about how the arms work up and down and the body around, but I could never get it to work nor picture how that could work.
Your 3rd demonstration @2:35 (club thrown down and out at 45 deg angle) made me finally understand the concept better (not completely yet though). Confused how the video thumbnail shows straight down but this demonstration shows 45 degree like the red arrow in the thumbnail.
Would absolutely love perhaps another video on more of where students go wrong trying to work in this change. Like if they slice it or have poor contact with this move.
I realise even as a right handed golfer, thinking of my left arm helps me swing better. @3:45 when the right arm straightens and gets thrown, would it be correct to say the left arm supinates some?
The twin views are so helpful.
Many thanks!
Absolutely, whenever you straighten the arms the muscles will always rotate
I’ve been trying to fix these for months. First video that I actually get it.. Thanx Danny
Really happy to help Shannon
This video is timely, because I've been struggling with excessive shaft lean in my setup. I didn't know I was doing it until I recorded my swing from face-on and saw it for myself. Suddenly, I understood why I was topping the ball so much with my irons. Too much shaft lean at setup and trying to hold that position throughout my downswing. All I did was move the club handle about three inches to the right in my setup (I'm right-handed), and it fixed it! Great video, as always, Danny!
Thank you 👍
Great lesson Danny- I am hitting little punch 7 irons about 160 yards with little knock down shots. Haven’t yet mastered the full swing yet. Focusing on Turning more at impact as my tendency is to hook the shot if I let me hands take over
Keep it up Howard
Wow very powerful. Elbow reconnects them arm staightens.
Just amazing just been out on the course and never hit the ball higher and longer. Thanks Danny what a amazing drill.. hopefully will keep practicing and only get better.
@jav2314 that’s great. You are very welcome. Thanks for watching & enjoy 🙏🏻
Hi Danny. Just came back to game after 12 years. After 2 months of watching instruction videos, I've cleared every one saved except yours. Thanks, you're really helping me
Happy to help 👍
Bravo! Bellisimo! I've not looked at the down/forward swing as a two part process, I've always tried to coordinate it as one piece just trying to get the club back to where I started. But that's prevented me from gaining any real distance. Your process here shows me the lag/whip happening naturally, not by force, but by technique. Thank you!
Happy to help you James 😁🙌
the best instruction i ever had., now i can hit the ball straight and far. Thanks Danny.
Happy to help Ray 😁
brilliant video. it was exactly what I've been working on myself without understanding the correct feel. the right arm drill is brilliant. can't wait to try this on the range
Danny, you make it look so simple. Each of your practice swings is perfectly in front of the ball with that crisp sound of the club face grazing over the grass. You make it look too smooth. Another brilliant video. Thank you.
Thank you Reza 😁
My understanding of what the arms do in the swing has been flawed my whole life. This video has helped me so much. Thank you.
Wow!!! Danny this was amazing!! I just tried this on some 80 yard shots. The results were amazing! I tried something like this last year, but I didn’t have the explanation you provided about reconnecting the elbows and feeling the elbow start the whip. I was thrusting the right arm down too much. The concept of just dropping and reconnecting the elbows, and letting the energy whip through impact is perfect! There is obviously more to the swing we need in place
for this to work (you need a good backswing and follow through too), but man, this is a huge part of the downswing! Explained magnificently! Was effortless distance today! Thank you very much!
@dj-flights7376 thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
@@DanielMaude ps. Does this work with driver as well?
Excellent explanation Danny. My irons are so inconsistent which impacts on consistency and confidence. I’ll try this at the range tomorrow
Love to hear how it goes Paul
@ hi Danny, I haven’t quite mastered it but definitely not hitting as many fat shots. I think my main problem is I swing to fast to try generate power.
Thanks Paul
Best explanation of the downswing by far. Thanks Danny
Thank you Rob! Appreciate the support 😁
This was an excellent video for my issues. I have had an over the top downswing with no lag. I can’t wait to start practicing these drills!! I hope if I practice them daily, I will see a difference! Thanks Danny!!
Thanks Deanne 😁
I have gotten much better at golf since I started watching your videos. I'm pretty happy with my swing now, but I still watch and like every video. They are all so informative.
Thank you 😁 appreciate the support
I don't listen to golf pros or commenters on TV. They seem to express their thoughts without thinking about the repercussion that can impact amateur viewers in a very negative way. On the other hand, I listen to Danny Maude and keep watching his videos repeatedly. His ability to connect with amateurs through words and drills/actions is a god given talent.😇
That’s really kind thank you for all your support
Best drill I have ever tried. I deleted all the previous downloads. I don’t need them after I discovered this video. Thanks
Happy to help 😁
Super video Danny. Just what I needed. Thanks
@timedench2583 that’s great to hear. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Hi Danny .
Tried the new sequence in my practice yesterday played great afterwards ,I’m off 1 but been struggling with strike . This will be part of my warm up from now on . Cheers.
Wonderful to hear Johanne, thanks for taking the time to feedback
This tip really has made a massive difference to my swing and consistency. Playing some of the best golf I’ve ever played. Thank you very much Danny. 👍🏻
@StevieBuckleyPT that’s great, thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Totally gold drill.. Thanks Danny
@koditzaditya2039 glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 👍🏻
Excellent job Danny on describing and demonstrating how to master the downswing! My new thought process is now going to be "down and around!" Well Done Danny!!
Thank you John!
Sophia (Σοφία) means wise, in Greek, was probably doing what I was. This lesson will help many. Great post.
I really hope so Chris
Hi Danny, all your videos are great but this is the best one ever. Just went to the range, I can't believe what a difference this made, pull the arrow out of quiver! Thank you.
Thank you Clareo 😁
Separating the arms and the body turn like this completely simplified the golf swing for me. Thanks!
@rwldebruijn1979 you are most welcome. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Excellently described the combination of down swing and turning
@pauzi18 glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Just had my first back to back birds. Big thx to you Danny!
What a feeling that is, well done Dustin
This unlocked my striking and power!!!!!!!
Awesome to hear
Danny, that might be your best lesson, to date. Great explanation, on how the arms and down swing work. Thank you
Thank you Mike! Very kind 😁
Hi Danny, a big thank you for thus great video. Been having trouble with consistent and pure striking. Following your instruction really improved my game. Thanks
Thank you Mike 😁
This instantly fixed my path which I’ve really struggled with for a number of years. First time hitting nice push shots with ease.
What’s your best drill on getting clubhead squared to get things going straight after this?
Wow! This is spot on!
@adamluqman3368 thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Made to sound so simple. Great as always. Thank you.
Really happy to help 😁
I have never had the downswing (forward swing?) explained in such an understandable manner before!!
Why have I never heard the downswing described this way before? Worked beautifully today, hit the ball so solid throwing the club at the bottom. I've always had my arms dragging behind never felt that snap of throwing them. Thank you Danny superb golf lesson.
Happy to help Matt 😁
Danny, I found your videos about 3 weeks ago and have been practicing using your tips. My drives, irons play, wedge play, and chipping have all improved!!! I’m playing 5-7 strokes better because of your tips!! I thank you and you now have a devoted followers.
You’re the best, Danny. Thank you so much.
Thank you 😁
"vinaka vakalevu". So easy to grasp the concept with your demo.
Glad you enjoyed it
*Bing*! Lightbulb moment!! The whole drawing the arrow from the quiver, totally resonates with me. As I turn I reach for the arrow, at full turn I grab it, then pull it out and turn in one fluid motion. Man, I love it when you cover something I'm currently having problems with. I think I've been dragging the arm, or doing something weird to try and stay inside, which has been really randomising my results lately. It's a shame I'm seeing this on the morning I've sold my irons, but at least I've still got the wedges to keep up the practice at my local p&p.
As ever, thanks, Danny.
Thank you happy to help 😁
So helpful Danny. Thank you again for all that you do for us. You are valued.
Really appreciate that Blaze
