Danny you are a super star! Your online coaching lessons are truly amazing and simply inspirational. I’m 68 years old, had a hip replacement 6 months ago, decided to supplement my physiotherapy by going to the driving range, never touched a golf club in my life, and started hitting balls! I’ve followed your instructions diligently, suffered all the issues as warned against by you, corrected as suggested, and to date making wonderful progress! There’s no looking back. I’m hooked thanks to you. Keep up the great lessons and your contribution to promoting golf as a sport for all ages. 👍😊☺️👏

That’s so great to hear Steph. I love hearing stories like this

One thing I noticed at the range the other day was by slowing my backswing down I was able to think about what I was doing. I think us high handicappers (I'm 28.3) tend to rush and snap at the shot. Your videos are great Danny, I think of you as part of my coaching team along with my PGA coach.

I'm 69 years old in a couple of weeks and when I'm playing golf I still try and hit the ball as far as I did when I was in my thirties. Your online lessons have helped me sustain that power and ball striking accuracy although I am not as supple as I used to be. Thank you Danny.

I must have missed this one when it came out a few months back. I like the "Y" set up that you are advocating and the pushing away with the right palm to maintain the straight arm position in the takeaway. Well Done Danny!

I have this exact same problem!

Wow, just wow. I have been struggling with a couple of issues in my swing, causing a massive loop at the top of back swing leading to a in to out swing path. Good for a draw, but nothing else. I followed both your tips during my last round and shot an 82 (with ice on some greens) including a 280 yard drive, which almost gave me a nose bleed 😁. It even helped with my short game. These tips are brilliant, but it makes me wonder why after 35 years playing and numerous professional lessons, this is the first time I have seen this. You are a true hero👍

Danny this is fantastic! I’ve been a “roller” of my wrist in the takeaway ever since I started playing 15 years ago. Ive watched countless videos trying to find a correction, but nothing seemed to work (in the interest of fairness, a couple of them were yours). Took this to the range today and noticed a difference in my ball striking immediately - it’s by far the most concise explanation of how to maintain the Y I’ve come across. Can’t wait to keep grooving this and work up to a full swing!

Hi Danny just watched this video. This body shape is a real eye opener it is the basic but crucial position that players of my level don't maintain throughout the swing, it tends to break down after the takeaway. Once the body stops turning due to lack of flexibility we continue on, manipulating the rest of the swing with our arms. Destroying any chance of a repetitive result. Your tip using the tail of the Y is fantastic. This should give us the cue when your body has run out of rotation the wrists come into play and it's time to end the backswing. Giving us the correct length of backswing in relation to our flexibility. Thank you for giving us your insights and help they really are so welcome. Happy new year and wish you all the best for 2024

Kudos to your videographer for the excellent sound quality in the gail force winds! Regarding the swing tip, I discovered this breakdown in my swing a few weeks ago. Fixed the “Y” and hit 3/4 shots laser straight. Struggle now is to get it proper with full swing. I am trying to be patient and lengthen the swing a few inches every day while maintaining proper form.

Brilliant again, Danny. Always struggled with consistency in takeaway and rolling formarms. Every time i tried drills to fix this, my swing became wooden. I did this today and really helped ball flights, distance, and even pitch shots. Also, I found that keeping my fingers relaxed and making sure the takeaway was straight back and not inside eliminated bad strikes. 🙂

Thanks Danny, your videos are brilliant. I had a round of golf on Sunday and was not playing very consistent. My playing partner took a video of my swing and on seeing this video I have noticed exactly what you have showed. I lost the Y at the 3 o'clock - this is a light bulb moment. I went to the range and was hitting the ball very consistent. Now I just have to take this practice to the golf course!

Great video. Even more impressive that you were fighting the weather. This reinforces what I’ve found in the past but I tend to loose the feeling and my consistency suffers. The drills are fantastic and so simple to understand and put into practice.

Hi Danny; I found something that really helps to begin the backswing before anything else happens. I make a small forward weight shift but not moving the club before I start taking the club back for momentum rather than taking it back from a static position. It makes my takeaway much smoother & prevents taking it back too quickly.

Really appreciate your golf video tips.

Once again a very interesting video and funnily enough it goes with a video about the "Y to Y" concept by Rick Smith, which I came across by chance last week. And today your great video on a similar topic with great exercises. You have sweetened my Saturday! I can hardly wait to try it out on the driving range. I must try to get a life coaching lesson from you one day. Your ability to explain golf is second to none and your drills are so simple and easy to adapt. A few weeks ago my brother-in-law told me he had stumbled across a great teaching Pro on KZread (Hi Andreas btw in case you read this). I should definitely have a look at him, he would love to take a lesson with him. His name was Danny Maude (sorry for the initial misspelling). I gave him a big smile and said that I'd been following him for more than 2 years. And that watching your videos has been part of my Saturday ritual ever since. You've sweetened my Saturday again. Thanks as always.

I watched the video Sunday night and tried the swing on Monday. I was amazed as how well I was hitting the ball. Because the weather was cold when we started, 34 degrees, I had a heavy vest and was unable to make a big back swing. As long as I keep a tight Y going back and a tight Y going through the results were great.

Hi Danny, first at all, thanks for all your amazing videos. What I like the most is your passion. Keep it up. I just want to say that sometimes is confusing. In lots of videos, your backswing is on waiter plate position for your right wrist. But recently, like in your last video, you encourage the backswing with the palm of your right arm to be far from your body while you squeeze your elbows. In other videos you encourage to do the swing among the swing plane, while in others you encourage to first let the club fall down and later rotate. It’s like two different approaches at being taught and make me confused. Cheers.
