How To Hit the Ball Then The Turf With Your Irons - Magic Drill

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2019
- How to hit the golf ball first. This video shows you how to make solid contact with the ball so that you can strike the ball then the turf. With one easy swing drill learn how to achieve a professional looking impact position no matter your age or ability.
None of us can swing like Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka or Rory McIlroy but we can learn to feel something similar at impact.
The easy swing drill reveals how golfers can naturally move their bodies to create ball first contact.
If you find that you strike the ground behind the ball or tend to feel a weak contact with your golf shots the easy swing drill will really help.

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!

I don't usually throw the club until after I hit the ball.
Yes that’s a great feeling, this will give you the delayed hit
Yeah - that's me, too. I usually throw it even farther after I MISS the ball.
I can throw the club further than I hit the ball….

I usually throw the club into the lake after shanking it
this dude legit the most helpful teacher on yt
@LoganBohme thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback 🙏🏻
5:08 on video! That is what I always thought that you had to swing ‘down the line’ instead of throwing the club!!! Thank you for that very important point, completely makes sense now and hopefully helps me maintain my balance. You are one of the best instructor out there. Thank you Danny!
Like everything Danny does, its a simple explanation, not filling the head with tens of issues you must address before and during the swing. For me, Danny is the only teaching pro I watch, because of the simple terms he uses and to maxamise effect, he concentrates on just 2 or 3 issues at one time. Keep up the great work Danny.
So true, always simple and clearly explained!
There are umpteen golf channels on YT, many of them obsessing over clubs and gizmos. This is a breath of fresh air. Clear, to the point and logical. Most players would benefit from this drill, not just the beginners.
Thanks for the feedback Gav, much appreciated
Just what I needed. With your recent post on improving the hip turn I'm super confident I can improve my strike once out of lockdown.
You and Crossfield are the best YT instructors out there. Keep up the the great content. Thanks Danny.
the fantastic lesson this exercise can only help me with ball striking thank you VERY MUCH!!!
All the best Curtis
Best drill ever. Been using it for over 30 years. Just yesterday !! Hadn't hit a ball for 12 months..went to the range First 10 went along the ground.Stood back and did this drill for a few minutes........... then able to work on the consistancy...........muscle memory is the key.
Thanks for commenting Ted, muscle memory and developing the experience is the key 👍
Danny, I am 57 years old and haven't played in many years so I am pretty much a new player. I embarressed myself on the course a few weeks ago. couldn't hit any club at all. I have watched your driving videos and now have that worked out. I was just out on the driving range practicing the drills in this video and wow! what a complete turn around. Thank you so much for these videos and especially for the easy and basic way you explain the golf swings. They make so much sense to me and now I feel that I can at least go out on the course and not make a fool of myself. Thank you, thank you. Peter F. Fort Myers Florida
It must be cool to know that around the world your voice is with us, enthusiastic and genuine and making golf fun. Thanks 🙏
So much for golf instructors who always say ‘swing out to one o’clock’. Many thanks Danny - the penny has finally dropped👏
Awesome 👏
I am in the same situation. You're a wonderful teacher, thank you kindly for posting this information it is much appreciated! Can't wait to try this exercise.
Thank you Jay very kind 😁
Danny-I watched this when U put it out but didn’t have the chance to play until today. I’ve struggled this year with thinning my irons. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Not touched a club in over a month and had one of the best ball-striking rounds of the season! Since I was playing, I just imagined a tee in front of ball to help me hit and stay down on irons. I flushed multiple shots which not done in a long time. THANK YOU again and keep putting out the great content! Brian
Really enjoyed this. Used it during practice today, already focusing on hitting the ball first. It worked well on full shots but needs practice. Love the hands getting closer to the body. This will be amazing. I found massive gains in strike during chipping & pitching by keeping aligned. Thanks man! I'm 13.2 and I think I might come down 2 shots with these thought processes.
Best tip on striking the ball first, can't wait to put that into practice
Hope you enjoy it Andre
Thank you, your video has changed my golf game.
My pleasure Pascal, really happy to help
Greetings from NZ. What an awesome lesson and so simple. Watched it when I got into work at 7:45 am and then went and practiced at my local park at lunchtime and immediately started hitting the ball straighter and further. This is a real game changer for me after battling with spraying my shots left and right. I think I may even get those dots tattooed onto my torso! Thanks so much Danny
One of the best drills I've ever seen to help the "lifter hitter" Danny!
Thanks Steve, hope it helps
;;
I did enjoy this video and will try it out Sunday
Great advice. Exactly my problem. And now it made sense.
Just sent it on to golf friends with similar problems.
camilla remstedt thanks for supporting the channel...really hope it helps your buddies too
Best online teacher
Many thanks 🙏
I couldn't agree more. The other golf channels I subscribe to are for entertainment. This is the only one I watch and actually learn something.
Yes 100% agree
Each time something useful, thanks.
Couple this with Mike Malaska's drills in the same vein and you really can improve your swing dramatically. Love Danny's enthusiasm and knowledge.
Very kind, thanks for sharing
Big fan of both. Danny much more integrated. Mikes transitional move handle down clubhead out game changing. Danny Instruction priceless. Both very practical and great communicators.
This answered a long time problem with my swing. Best golf coach on you tube
Really happy to help Glenn, appreciate the support
Danny, you have been kind enough to respond to two of my inquiries, and I want to return your kindness.
I realized (as a 70 y/o beginner) that I wasn’t swinging correctly because I couldn’t balance myself on my left (lead) leg. So I spent over two months every day just standing on that leg.
Then -gradually- I would turn my hips. Then after the two months, I practiced leaning with my hip to the left and shoulders otherwise- all standing on my lead leg.
It’s not a quick fix, but now I’m comfortable making the necessary weight shift. I have “lag”, and my 7 iron has gone from 125 yds to 155 or more. I finish upright and facing well towards the flag.
I’m hoping you can improve this self-made drill, because my problem all along turned out to be balancing on my lead side as a beginner.
God bless you. Your videos helped get me started at a time in life when I hear most golfers ate hanging it up. I’m
That’s so clever Bob and thanks so much for sharing it. By taking time and developing I feel and balance it has clearly paid off well done
Danny's by far the best instructor on you tube. simple and logical and doable lessons.
Thanks for the support Mike, I know there are a lot of great coaches here on TH-cam
@@DanielMaude since I started doing your tips, I am playing a realistic 14, down from 19 ish. Short game giving me confidence! Thanks dude!
GG is far superior
Danny - Another great training session. Could you expand on the concept of the handle moving toward the body and throwing the club out to ball? Absolutely love when I find that feeling in my short game and on full swings. Any additional drills you could share would be greatly appreciated!
I tried this today on the course. It worked perfectly. Thanks.
You make my world ,better.
Really happy to help Sean
👍
Great tip! everytime I watch videos like this I just want to grab my clubs and hit the green! even when i'm at work!
superb lesson. And easy to follow and imitate. Takes the golfer outside his head and returns him to feeling the swing. Nick Price hit hundreds of balls in the off season like this in the mid 90's and when he returned to the tour won TWO majors.....
What a ball striker Nick Price was
What a great warm up routine to keep your swing consistent
Hey, Danny the man it's Dan here from NZ. I found this the best drill of all. I'm not a pro golfer but play on a 4 handicap at 67. Cheers mate.
This has done wonders for my swing I had a tendency to get my shoulders tilted sometimes with my irons this drill has totally taken that out of my swing
ok...I just got back from the range. I did this drill for about an hour at home BEFORE going to the range. At the range I was very patient and drilled on this for about an hour. by the end of my second hour it was awesome...I think the 2nd half of my practice I might have hit 2 or 3 fat shots, the rest were divot in front of the ball and I would say I hit at least 30 balls at full swing. I could not believe the difference this made. I will do this drill EVERY TIME I go out to the range. THANKS for a great video!
This video makes so much sense. And I don't even really know that much about golf.
Hope it helps you too
Excellent drill - I use it to start every range session and warming up before a round. Really helps me feel the spiral shape of the swing in balance. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely Russell, its such an old drill but a real classic
Easily one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Just took this drill to the range and I'm pretty excited at the immediate impact on my swing. I will be checking out your other videos because I like how clearly you were able to describe this drill and what you should be feeling in the swing. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback Nate, hope the drill is still working
This video changed my golf game... Thank you. I just broke 80 for the first time. I have been golfing for over 10 years and now I am finally playing stress free golf. You the man! I truly appreciate this.
That’s great to hear Carter 😁
Man this is about the best practice concept video I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t wait to get out and work on this drill!
Knowing and applying is always my issue, this looks excellent Danny
Experiential learning Clive, if you learn feel what's going on you begin to own your golf swing
Never understood why I seem to hit my irons better with a narrow stance. Definitely an “A-HA!” moment. Brilliant!
Brilliant Greg, love to hear how you get on after some practice
Brilliant way of teaching. No additional equipment needed.
Thank you Tony, hope it helps your game
This is a good one. If your swing is not allowing you to stay in balance - - the swing is wrong.....my new routine is: 2 balance swing (as above), 2 practice swings and then the swing....thanks Danny. bb
BILL BROWN love this idea for a pre shot routine Bill...thanks for sharing
Wow! Seems like this video (and drill) might be the answer to my life-long inconsistency playing this game. Great video! Thank you!
Thank you Darren, hope the drill improved your golf swing 😁
Sir, thank you for this video. I watched this morning and it was eye-opening. I went out and shot a 77 with 6 bunker shots. I can’t tell you how much this helped. I was totally confused about how to swing the club, until I saw this video and I’ve taken lessons from different people, so this really was useful - thank you, thank you, thank you!
Brilliant Carl well done, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback
FYI . Today I played a round . I am a high handicapper . 31.6 . So that should tell you I am not very good . I broke 100 about a month ago . shot a 97 . Today I shot my personal best and broke 90 . hit an 88 . Your instructions and drills as well as a few other You Tube instructors have helped me tremendously . just wanted to say Thank you
.
amazing job Larry, well done 👍
Thanks, Danny. I think this will help me to keep me on balance , and swing with nice golf swing.
Love to hear how you get on Oscar
Danny I came across this video quite accidentally late last night and it was so timely as i have been striking my irons/woods very erratically resulting in poor scores. Anyway, i played a round at my club this morning....armed with the information you shared....and scored a staggering 41 points. Thank you for your brilliant tutorial that was so succinct. I will be adopting this technique permanently. There are so many videos available and most of them are quite forgettable as the information fails to strike a chord. Yours did.
That’s wonderful to hear Richard. It’s a really simple exercise this one that provides great feedback
At last, something so simple to follow, understand and implement. I love this drill, made a BIG difference, thanks Danny
My pleasure Mark, love to hear how you get on
FANTASTIC BALANCE EXCISE! Much needed for us senior citizens.
Thanks again Thomas, I like this one
Loved the simplicity of the lesson and Danny' s enthusiasm!
Very kind of you to say Debra, thank you
Heading out for a round this morning, now leaving even earlier to work this drill prior to tee.
Thanks Danny !
Happy Weekend
Let me know how you get on! :)
Love the drill, Danny! I do this drill to warm up before hitting balls now. The bit at the end about the hand path guiding the ball out was gold. I was under the same impression about my hand path. I would have a great shot shape (draw) but I would struggle getting a consistent ball first strike. The small piece of information was huge for me. Thanks Danny!
Thats great to hear Jarred, It's amazing what you guys pick up from each video
Nice. This lead foot forward drill was apparently a favorite of the great Zimbabwean golfer Mark McNulty. He would practice with it all the time.
I never knew that 👍
Danny, thank you for taking the time to create and share these lessons. I really love the drills and the slow motion views. Thanks again and keep them coming!1
Will do thanks for taking the time to comment
A great lesson, Danny has a great way to get a message across, every thing he says makes sense.Thanks a lot.
Thank you Thomas, really appreciate the feedback
Superb - just what I needed. Brilliantly explained, easy to implement, and expertly delivered.A great drill, many thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Paul, hope it helps you hit the ball then the turf with. more consistency
One of the best swing tutorials I’ve ever seen thanks
Best damn golf channel and teacher.
Really kind of you thanks for the support
Thanks, this is maybe the best advice I have had in a long time.
Ben Howard thank you Ben, hope it helps your ball striking
Thank you Danny Maude. This drill has changed my game instantly. First class
Trevor Lewis great news Trevor, well done, thanks for sharing
Danny, you are an awesome golf instructor. Thank you so much for these videos.
Have always been struggling with consistency due to watching too much "lag" n "compress the ball" videos. Other golf coaches should watch n learn from YOU, Danny. Hands down my fave coach. Simple n Easy tips for anyone to understand. I owe you a round of golf.
Amazing!! Simply amazing video Danny. Thanks heaps!! You are a legend and definitely my favourite TH-cam golf instructor. I can’t wait to concentrate on this the next time I’m practicing.
G Man many thanks, I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment
Such a great video . I hope this reaches many golfers.
Mark Faje thank you Mark, I hope it’s simple enough to help golfers feel how to transform their ball striking
I don't normally write but after today's practice round I was left amazed and gob smacked walking away with +3 after 9 hole and I play off 20!
I've never really had trouble with my balance I've always felt that to be good. However, I was also of the same mind that the club went forward, until I discovered this and realised about keeping the butt close to the body as well as discovering throwing the club and 'casting'. I also took your advice from "How to Nail your backswing Takeaway" video and all together today I hit some of the best shots and approaches I have ever hit. From chipping to pitching and even out of sand this all worked and applied.
Thank you so much, your a great teacher.
Thats amazing to hear Francis, thanks for taking the time to feedback
I have been struggling with my irons for the last year or so -- always hitting it heavy and behind the ball.This tip from Danny is amazing and spot on. I have been doing this drill for less that a week and it has changed my iron play -- I almost had my second hole in one of the season last week. Once you get use to the feeling of swinging on your front foot (it takes little time) you are on your way. I have hit some incredible irons shots the past few times out. Just keep practicing this just as Danny explains it ... great tip and Danny is the best teacher because he keeps it simple!
I've been having a very difficult time shifting my weight on my downswing to my left side. This drill is going to help me do that AND striking the ball effectively! You are a great teacher, Danny! You simplify the golf swing making it so much easier to get it right, and do it with confidence!
The drill is going to - how do you know lol
This is my actual stance with the trailing leg slightly out to the side to improve rotation and consistency in my swing. I've got from 110-120 to low 90s in 6 month playing twice a month.
Amazing, well done
Thanks Danny, I realise this is the reason I sway around…hopefully I can put your advice into my game.
Such a good video. This is what I needed.
Love to hear how you get on
Seen a lot of drills on how to take a divot properly, and Danny's lesson just made sense to me. Tried the drill and saw instant improvement. Thank you Danny!!
Eric Martinez my pleasure Eric, thanks for taking the time to comment
Danny, this drill was a game-changer for me. I practiced it on the range and then played the course and made consistent ball contact for the first time ever. Many thanks for posting this and for your other great content.
My pleasure Rick, I like this one too. Really helps to produce balance and coordination in the golf swing
Again Magic if you had a half hour weekly show on golf channel I'd be a scratch golfer and a faithful watcher.
Garry Wilcox maybe one day Garry 😁😁
I think this is one of the single best videos and drills I have ever seen - brilliant
Really hope it helps your golf game Kevin
Another amazing video! The one legged drill has been a huge help, but it was the last little bit about throwing the club out that helped me diagnose the terrible error I was making: my grip had migrated to something less than optimal and I was restricting my ability to throw the club out! I love your thesis that the body does highly intelligent things to compensate for errors earlier in the swing, it has been the best algorithmic tool for working on my game that I have ever received!
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Sean...your body is a genius and will do its best for you every time
Absolutely magic Danny boy never seen anyone else do this drill so good for balance and weight transfer my main aim is always to hit ball then turf I think this might nail it for me 👍🏻👍🏻🏌️🏌️
If you take it step by step as I show in the video you will get it...good luck, any questions just ask
Every now and then a golfer will see a tip from a teacher and something will click in his head because the tip made so much sense. This is one of those tips for me. I played my first round today since watching the video and I dropped 15 strokes off my previous round...and it could have been 20 if my chipping had cooperated. My ball striking today was better than it has been in a very long time. I used to be a mid-to-high 80's golfer but lost my mojo some years ago. I've tried everything over the years to fix it and all I did was over complicate my swing. This drill does a great job of reinforcing balance, ball position and tempo...at least that's what I took from it. Thanks Danny! You've made the game fun again.
Thats awesome to hear Scott, "making the game fun again" is one of my major goals with the channel
This is the 3rd Video I have watched Danny...each one has ACTUALLY fixed my issues (Bunkers/Chip shots/Ball then turf) thanks so much...uncomplicated teaching
Simple and logical. Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow,; tnx a lot.
john P. Larsen R. Great you liked it John, thanks and I hope it helps
I love that dot visual. Used it in my round today and ball striking improved alot. Used to get a fair share of fat shots before. Great stuff. Probably the one golf video that's going to help me more than any other.
And that feet back drill I was taught that when I started playing and somehow stopped. Thanks for reminding me. It's probably one of the most useful drills for balance.
If I could give this 100 likes I would.
samj very kind of you, it’s an oldie but a goodie 😁😁
I gotta say.....you are GOOD
Another gem of a lesson, Danny. I took 20 lessons at GolfTec where they showed me that I was falling back in my downswing, but never did they tell me how to get out of it! Tried this drill one time and my ball striking was already improving - more powerful and simpler swing!
Amazing well done David
When you do your "Danny Maude goes to Los Angeles" tour ring me up Danny. You're the best. Thanks for your vids.
Very kind, thanks David...all the best

Another awesome drill. My ball striking has immediately improved. Keep up the amazing work Danny, you’re hands down the best on TH-cam.
Very kind, hope they help your ball striking
Totally agree, Danny gives technique that just works
J much appreciated, great to hear the channel is helping 😁
You are a golf genius! Every video I watch of yours reveals a mental misconception of my swing image. The body will do some crazy things based off of what the brain thinks it needs to do. I wish I could take lessons from you.
So true Donald, get the right concept and it’s amazing what the body will do to help you
This is what I’ve been looking for. Definitely the solution to my problems 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you Phuong 😁
This is a great drill. I’ve been so focussed on getting weight over my forward leg on the downswing I’ve allowed my upper body to lean back and keep smacking the turf ahead of the ball. Can’t wait to try this!
You got this!
Great swing thoughts Danny you make it look so easy and love the dot thing great lesson.
Thanks 🙏
You are probably the best golf instructor, thanks
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Alan
I just watched this video but have not began the drills yet. At this point I think that this is just the thing that addresses my problems more than any tip I have ever seen. I have seen thousands but I have never seen this fault addressed. Thanks so much.
My pleasure Gerald, hope it works out for you...keep me posted
Good lesson for us oldies, well, it's helped me 👍
Great to hear Christopher, thanks for sharing
I use this tip for practice swings, has helped me massively, the feed back is instant !!
Great news glad it has worked for you
Just gained a subscriber. I played a very good game at about 15 years old but never had any lessons etc. Just seemed to pick it up without trying. Im now 30 and after over a 10 year gap i was sstruggling with contact so badly. Im gonna try this drill tomorrow thankyou so much ! I also game mizuno blades mp32 which isnt helping but im not shelling out on irons as i have just paid my years memebership at highcliffe castle.
Best instructor on TH-cam hands down!
Danny, this was an amazing lesson! This has been my exact issue but I couldn't figure out how to quit doing it. The way you walked through it step by step was fantastic!
After bad shots in the past I used to tell myself "don't throw the club"...and now as I line up to the ball I tell myself "remember to throw the club" and it saves me a ton of $$!
You're the best!
Brilliant, well done Robert...thanks for taking the time to write

What a great simple drill!! Please keep them coming! This tip has really helped my dad! Can't wait for spring and see him take this tip to the course!
that's great, love playing with the old man...keep me posted on how he finds the drill
Danny, great job! I used to golf at least once a week, and practice almost everyday. I was an honest 9-10 handicap. I had arthritis in both hips and my swing changed as both hips got worse. My swing got to the point of being a "rocker" because I lost movement in my hips. I would rock rearward on the back swing, and then forward on the front swing to obtain weight transfer. Well... It got to the point I could no longer play golf. However, I had both hips replaced 1.5 years ago and someone invited me golfing. I found my swing was still a rocking swing. My new hips worked so well...NOTHING in my golf swing felt right, nothing. After trying your drill (5 times) I can clearing see EXACTLY what I have not been doing, and it is the move (uncoiling) that I need to focus my new swing on. This is the most difficult move for anyone one learning golf to master, however, with this drill...it completely makes sense. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic video. Shared with several family members... One of which has spent thousands of dollars on lessons. In my best English accent, this should fix him up proper! 🤣👍
Funny, look forward to hearing how they get on
