At age 75, I took up golf this summer. As I have sought to develop a consistent swing I took a couple of lessons from a "pro". I played several times a week, and then looked here and there on the net for help. I heard the term "rotation" often, and so there I was ... turning my shoulders, turning my hips ... and scarcely able to hit an iron at all that wasn't topped. I took the lessons of this video to the range today and the difference was amazing. Thank you Danny!

I like the way that the golf swing in these training videos is clearly segmented, and the targeted focus of each drill. Thank you so much for providing such great material and improving my understanding of swing mechanics.

After a few years playing as a teenager, I have been a green fee golfer for almost 30 years struggling on the course. Last year I joined a club and started training again. My aim was to understand the swing and feel it better. I have now followed Danny Maudes videos for a while and I must say that it amazes my how he locks up the understanding for the areas around the golfswing which I have struggled with. The videos released by Danny over the recent 6 months has simply just answered my questions in a brilliant way. I have been able to use the understanding to develop my swing, the feel is developing, I am getting much more consistent shots and I cannot wait to get on the course again. Thank you, Danny.

Man this is exactly what I needed to hear! I just couldn’t keep from standing up in my swing to save my life. I was staying in posture and rotating better than ever at the range today. Got a lot of work to do but feel like I’m on the right path! Thank you!!

Best online coach by a longway. Love the way he presents the content.

FANTASTIC Danny. You're a golf simplification guru 😃So happy to have your videos. What I like is that work can be done at home. When the body is relaxed and is working well (like when we walk) it's so easy to have a simple and efficient swing. Big thanks. Hope to come from France to Canterburry to see you after the covid crisis. Catapult and Elvis addict for sure now 😎

Brilliant stuff Danny!! Thank you for the commitment that you have to this community. A lot of people mentioned this below, and rightfully so, You are the man! You have a good week as well.

I love the community we have established Bill, really appreciative

That was great Danny a really good description and I'm in the camp of misunderstanding what I thought was a good hip turn and rotation - this is going to change my swing and ball striking - I think you are the best golf tutor on KZread for sure!

Crystal-clear insight, as ever. What I love most about your instruction is how you distil your knowledge of complex motions into simple feel drills which are easy for handicap golfers to practice. I have used your videos to remodel my swing over the last 4 months and I have never hit as consistently well as now. A welcome by-product of the focus on feels and process has been a reduction of focus on the result of shots, which can involve luck, and this has been an eye-opener for me. Looking forward to being a bandit off 12 when the snows clear ; )

I video taped myself the other day, to see what exactly I was doing that was causing my inconsistency. I had a bit of a side to side hip sway, instead of driving them back and through. After watching this video and hitting the range today to practice, it was like a miracle happened - good contact, straighter shots and some monster drives. The trail leg back was a revelation. Danny Maude is my favourite teacher on KZread. Absolutely top class.

new golfer here - one of danny's other rotation/weight shift videos literally took me from frequently whiffing to striking the ball EVERY time. amazing instruction that doesn't cloud your mind with so many swing thoughts

Yep - "fire the hips"....there are times when I want to fire them and get some new ones. Seriously, I really like how this drill lays out the process of getting the hips in the cleared position in both the backswing and downswing. It also shows how the flow of the torso works with this to "coil" itself to help store and release the power for effective golf swings. I have been working with the right foot back and it has helped with the open face. I am working now on getting the front hip to clear to allow full follow-thru. This lesson is the perfect step by step method for getting there....great lesson again Danny.

Danny. I kept coming over the top because I was swinging too hard with my arms. Hence I had no club lag. I started to make my turn early because they don’t move quite as fast as my arms. This has taken away my outside in path and divot. This is huge!!!!!!

This is the exact drill I was looking for after my lesson yesterday

Your lesson have tremendously improved my game. Thank you.

Another great video Danny! Over the last few weeks you’ve really helped me to understand the importance of co-ordinated movement of the lower body in the golf swing. I believe I fell in to the category you describe as being ‘too rigid at set set up’ and ‘stuck in posture’ so have really taken on board comments like ‘let it go’, ‘feeling of almost being out of control’, ‘legs work in lines (the walking analogy). Hoping I can put this in to practice as you have certainly installed the need to be more free flowing in your swing to generate that all important power and club head speed!

This was a great way of explaining the hips. It took forever for me to finally grasp it. Of course it took hours of self discipline and getting to core fundamentals, but man, if you don't put in the time, videos on the internet can really set a mate back. Still love the drill where you put the club out in front and watch what happens when you move back and forth. It really opens the door. Hope everyone out there is doing fine! Season is almost here!

By the way, good to see you striking at full power again, you seemed to have recovered well.

ABSOLUTELY! Tiger and Jack both thought the hips ‘pulled back’; rotation wasn’t a notion… this works because physics operates in ‘straight-line forces’. Pushing and pulling anything requires it. A ‘circular’ motion is the result of straight-line forces acting on a lever, like a ferris wheel. In the back swing, pull your right hip as far back, or a deep, as you can. On the downswing, pull your left hip back as far, or as deep, as you can (for righties)

Wow Danny 460k subscribers!! I remember when you first started. You're doing a great job with instruction. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Danny.. I can tell that this video along with “jam jar” video will help me fire my hips. Your instruction has help correct my inside out swing. I have started recording my swing to see if I am applying the concepts your are teaching. I have learned on to start the downswing with my legs but my hips stop moving before impact which causes a chicken wing. What can I say.. I am work in progress. I will break 90 this year. I am trying to video that will help me shorten my swing to help hopefully create better contact.

Oh man! Well done. That's the info I hoped for.
