far and away the my favorite instructor. no one else has the ability to break down the shot and explain it in such a relatable way. ive been golfing for about 8 years and have watched countless videos but until I found Mr Maudes videos ive never truly felt how a proper swing should feel. thank you sir!

Far & away, the best communicator in golf instruction. Thank you Danny.

Great video Danny! Thanks for explaining it so well!

I’ve wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve watched over 1,000 golf instruction videos. All along, I have been desperately searching for the factor of the swing that trumps all others in importance. One thing I could figure out that would help me play good golf consistent no matter what else I’m doing that day. I’m confident we have all just found it in this video thanks to Danny! I just took 20 dry hacks in my brothers kitchen with my 8 iron. It feels so right. Side note: This is my first KZread comment.

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL!!! I took this advice to the driving range and WOW. I’ve shot in the the high 70’s exactly 12 times in my life. I know that because I keep those scorecards in my office but the amount of golf I play makes those scores extremely rare. 90% of the time I shoot between 85 and 95 and I’ve probably averaged 3-4 rounds a week for the past fifteen years. I played four times since I watched this video a week ago and shot an 83, an 80, and 79 twice👍⛳️🍻

I'm 56 yo, I started playing golf at 10. I was extremely competitive during my youth, had a -2.5 handicap at 19, one local events, played nationally, varsity golf in college, but I always struggled with consistency round to round and intra round. For, example I would be 4 under after 10 holes and have 2 holes blow up and then stabilize and finish at par or 1 over. I stopped playing at 21 as I got frustrated with not being consistent enough to make it on the tour. Yeah at 21, I quit because I realized now that I was too immature to think long-term and go through the fixes necessary to become consistent. I was taught from the beginning in the classic players, like Sarazen, Hogan, Snead, and taught to be loose and have massive wrist cock and delay in the downswing, transferring weight laterally, etc. But this led to my inconsistencies as my swing broke down under stressful conditions. This was at the same time that Phil came on the scene and his length changed everything in the game, but he was "loosey goosey" like me, but was a far longer ball striker and used that to an advantage, hitting 8,9 and wedges into long par 4,s when everyone else still using mid irons, and hitting 550 yd plus par 5's in 2. I destroyed my swing by thinking to keep up with the new Phil(s), I lengthened my swing and became more "loosey goosey", thus if my timing was right, I could hit the occasional 300 yd drive, but if my timing was just slightly off, I would hit the worst duckers or blockers to unpredictable places, but kept in check I was stuck around 275 yd as the courses were getting substantially longer from 7200 to 7600. I couldn't keep up was always at a disadvantage to those long ballers. The game is mentally easier when striking short irons into par 4's and hitting most 5's in 2. If I had worked on that properly, I might have made it finally to the Tour, everything else was equal to all other players, just the length, I couldn't deal with seeing guys 25 to 50 yards past me on all the holes. I felt like the baby in the room. I tried to pick the game back up after an almost 20-year hiatus at 41, however stopped again at 43 as family and business dominated my time, I haven't played since 2009. I tried to make my own changes, ala. Tiger or Rory, without a coach and it proved to be good with the one-piece takeaway, things that this Mr. Maude is teaching, and I'd occasionally get connected and see 320 to 350 yd drives, one was 370 yd with slight downwind over towering trees, surprised the hell out of me as I had never hit any drive that had such a phenomenal ball flight before, it just hung in the air forever, just shocked me, a 450 yd hole down to just a sand wedge for the 2nd shot and converted, and I thought, no wonder these long ball hitters are able to score so low. I also remember hitting a 4 iron, 205 yd uphill (about 220 yd flat), with such straight and scalpel like accuracy (as I used to have strong draws) and almost making an Eagle with the ball stopping 1 rotation from going in the cup. I actually got down to playing to a 1 handicap, but could not get comfortable, this type of swing always felt weird, and my brain would just abandon this new "feel" and go back to my younger ingrained swing, I was really inconsistent with it, because it just "felt" different that how my brain was wired after hitting millions of practice shots in my youth. But, nonetheless, this swing process as taught does lead to better technique and long game play, IF mastered. The swing, because of science, has changed a bit as it is taught today.

Hey Danny, your comments in the final minutes "get your lead arm back underneath your lead shoulder" was the biggest eye opener for me! I have been hitting the ball everywhere and this tip for me flipped the switch, thank you for all your awesome videos, you're the best!

great lesson Danny, loved the last part of walking into the shot if the arm structure is correct, that was such a positive visual thing to watch, thanks again from Perth, Australia where the weather is good enough to golf just about every day of the year.

Thank you for a fantastic video. Can’t wait to put this to the test tomorrow. Having watched many golf pro’s videos I now only focus on Danny Maude’s. You explain things in a very easy understandable way. I wish you were closer as I would love to book a personal lesson but Canterbury is a bit of a run from the midlands.

Worked on this on the range today. Once I got the hang of it with a reliable club like 8-iron, I moved up to my (unhittable) 6-iron. It took a couple swings to get comfortable, but by the time I put the club away I was not only consistently making solid contact I was starting to shape my shots into beautiful draws and fades as intended. For the first time all year I have confidence in my 6-iron and can't wait to hit the course this weekend with one more weapon in my bag.

Great tip again, as usual I can’t wait for the spring to get out there and trying this

Improve contact, square the face, by keeping elbows together while PUSHING the club AWAY from you ("Maintaining Structure") which naturally reduces/eliminates the "cup" in the lead wrist!! So many light bulbs going off in my head right now, I had to put on my sunglasses! GREAT STUFF!!!

I'm left side dominate but play right handed. For years I've tried to follow the tips of right handed instructors teaching right handed players. Your video gave me the confidence to trust my left side. Please keep us lefties in mind for future videos.

Your absolutely right about this. Applying these principles I've even developed a baseball style swing just clowning around and I tend to carry the ball down the line the same distance as my normal golf swing (using a 7 iron). I watch a lot of training videos Danny and your one of the best golf trainers in the KZread community. Thanks!

Great lesson! I eventually arrived at this same type of swing last fall. I'm old and inflexible, but with the "y" set-up, the ball at center and paying attention to the elbows, I'm now compressing the ball at impact for the first time ever and hitting the best irons of my life. After my local course closed last fall and the ground had frozen (before the snow hit), I spent some time hitting balls up and down the empty driving range. Talk about instant feedback! Now you could really see the benefit of that compression now. Off the hard, frozen ground I was hitting these straight, long towering shots. Beautiful! Can't wait for spring. Your lesson mirrors and reenforces my own swing method. Thank-you!

Wonderful to hear Gary, love to hear how you get on

Hey Danny, Mark here. Love your content Sir. Thank you. I'm self taught with the help of youtube videos. I'm currently at 10 and have been as low as a 6. My medium and short game is solid. I struggle with a two way miss off the tee . I feel like I have a grasp on the issue of this video but there is one related issue that I am still a but confused about. I maintain the straight arms at the elbows but with my leading arm, at address I can rotate ( twist longitudinally ) the elbow about 90 degrees to point the elbow either at the target, to create a slightly stronger feel, or elbow to the ground to create a weaker feel, all while maintaining grip and face angle with the hands at address. I'm a right handed. With my right trailing arm, I tend to rotate the arm as far clockwise as I can a address with the soft part of the arm outward. With my left leading arm however, I tend to just lock the elbow and leave it neutral ( with respect to the twisting action position ) as I always have but I can feel that I have a lot of latitude as to whether I could rotate it clockwise 45% or counterclockwise 45%. I'm wondering what is the prevailing wisdom on this finer nuance of the left/leading arm position issue at address?? Natural and neutral or rotated clockwise or counterclockwise?

Great tip!😊
