Micheal Jordan was a great player but a bad coach and owner. You may not be a tour player but you are a superstar teacher of the swing. It’s how you teach Danny. You keep it simple and down to earth for the common everyday golfer. Haney, Ledbetter, and Harmon are not the benchmark. You are.

Hi Danny, The natural and proper shallowing on the down swing as you have illustrated is important concept. So that we know on a down swing what we are supposed to do. Thank you sir.

Hi Danny, the explanation of opening the left knee to the target as the initiation of the downswing did it for me. Isn't it interesting how one can listen to 10 different instructors explain the same aspect of the swing and one of them rings louder and clearer? I went to the range after watching this and it was like magic! I was striking the ball consistently more solid with what felt like little to no effort. I could "feel" and hear the impact that a square club face brings when cracking the ball. I was definitely trying to force the shallowing of the club and as a result of opening the lead knee it does in fact happen naturally and without thought. Thank you so much! I'm playing a round tomorrow and look forward to applying what you've taught me in this video for an entire round. I'll let you know how it goes. All the best! Stay safe and be well.

I like that you also show us the correct swing several times and not only talk 10 min. 👍 vielen Dank 🙏

I honestly think this is the best golf instruction drill/ move you can teach someone learning the game. Honestly, it's so easy to try and it covers so much ground. Ultimately if you get this right, then that's about 80-90% of your swing right there.

Just came back from the range and made some of the best swings ever. This video helped me to gain better insight of a good golf swing. I first saved this video several weeks ago along with other videos from other instructors but after maybe 3-4 range sessions and countless practice swings in my backyard all of a sudden I got the feeling and timing right and then everything clicked into place. This instructional video more than any others has transformed my swing from steep out to in to shallow and in to out. I still have some things I need to work on but I think I have a great foundation now. THANK YOU!

very kind of you Monroe, I know there are some great instructors here on youtube

First off, let me state the fact that Danny Maude is hands down the most helpful online instructor, if not THEE most helpful, so major props to you Danny, but folks, It's also good to know that loose, supple wrists (what I refer to as, "cooked spaghetti,") will improve your contact and distance even if you fail to 'shallow' out your club. The average golfer thinks their wrists are already as loose as 'cooked spaghetti,' but if you consciously ALLOW your wrists to RELAX and react to your swing movement, you'll quickly find that they're not.

This is the best shallow out instruction video. You made a complicated concept easy to understand. I am trying this out tomorrow !!!

Perfect instruction. Exactly what I’m working on with my teacher. He also recommends almost a sitting action to start the downswing and dropping my hands as low as I can coming through. Great lesson Dan. Now it’s a matter of timing for me.

@DanielMaude

Like the thought of sitting too

Used to play a lot of amateur tournaments. Stopped golf sr 60 and started again at 73, out of shape, older,aches and pains and no desire to practice so you know where the game went and how depressing it became. Your tip on starting the downswing with a slight turn of the front knee has made a gigantic difference - will never be a 3 hndcp again but am back to enjoying. I loved your bunker tips, chipping, and this shallowing out. You teach in a layman’s language - keep it up and I look forward to your Dad making all of us seniors proud by beating you one day - cheers!

Thank you for this, I have tried so hard to get this shallow thing but you fixed it with this clip, the two club drill was amazing. So thankful!

Thanks, Danny. This will definitely give me something new to start working on.

Oh my... I have struggled with my swing on and off for decades (used to play low single hcp) without knowing this. I have been looking for my old swing for ages and this drill unlocked the feeling of openness in the downswing that I have been missing for all this time. I have struggled so often with coming down to steep and blocking the ball out to the right, especially with the longer clubs and driver, but after this drill I can consistently hit perfect push draws. You made golf fun again, I can't thank you enough.

I'm a huge fan of yours now. I watched about 5 minutes of another one of your videos and fixed my swing. I struggled with aim, because I was compensating for a fade, and straightened out with a nice draw. Made shooting in the mid 80s effortless, and its putting the 70s in reach. Thank you for making it simple.

Wow using the two clubs together was big break through for me - the weight really helps with getting that feeling. Thanks!

At first, I thought, “man, this is super repetitive!” Being told the difference between dropping & rotate, vs. a steep club down swing. But if you stick with this, 1) These are two simple and excellent drills to improve our downswing to drop and rotate; and 2) His repetition as he demonstrates these drills, over and over, is exactly what we need to do! I tried doing each 50 times; and swinging two clubs was a workout, and it helped me drop my club into a good position to start my downswing. Also, the “relaxed wrists tip is key, for me. Thanks bro!

I've been stumped at getting the compression on the ball followed by a divot for awhile now. After watching your instructional I'm excited to go out and practice. Thank you Danny for simplifying and breaking down the steps. Makes the proper swing attainable with a little practice. Tyler, (Kent Washington U.S.A.)

I like Danny's explanation of this. If you make a proper backswing you don't have to worry about drills or swing thoughts... your swing will shallow naturally because it HAS to. Maintain the triangle (arms and chest) and turn your torso (not just arms and shoulders) to initiate backswing. Keep the club head OUTSIDE your hands throughout your backswing. This will ensure you are taking the club on a path straight back or slightly outside (think Jim Furyk or Lee Trevino as extreme examples)... taking an inside path is the cause for most amateur mistakes. If you execute the backswing properly, your club/swing will shallow on its own because your body realizes it HAS to in order to get back to proper impact position. My main/only swing thought is on making a proper backswing... my body knows how to do the rest.

Wonderfully clear, accurate, and useful instruction on a difficult but crucial concept, Danny. Your excellent video confirms what I have just recently been discovering, that if you start the downswing with the lower body and a relaxed grip the club basically shallows on its own. And when the club shallows it drops into the correct swing path and your ball striking improves enormously. I still haven't entirely eliminated my over-the-top/early extension problem, but I know now I just need to keep practicing the correct downswing sequence and proper grip until my new swing becomes ingrained and entirely replaces my over-the-top swing. Thank you for this superb demonstration!

Thanks Danny!! I'm glad I found this drill. I'm a subscriber so I get the notifications of new videos but this one is obviously a little older. I've been working on this drill for a little over a week now. OF COURSE, the first time I tried it on the course I shot an amazing (for me) 79. Whoopee. Naturally, I fell apart the next round like cheap patio furniture. The drill is helping with an insidious feature of my downswing where I tip my body forward and stand the club up starting the downswing. Heavy sigh. That's how I found your drill by the way, searching for shallowing the club. I've been comparing slow motion videos of my swing with yours. I like yours better. I don't suppose you'd be interested in a trade????!!!!! Temporarily!! I promise. Thanks for all the great videos!!!

This is a great video explaining how to start the downswing and shallowing the club. I wish I would have had this type of instruction when I was younger. However I have changed my swing in the last 3 months by incorporating this movement into my swing. It is hard to do and takes time to teach your body this new motion after years of starting the downswing the wrong way.

Thanks Danny I really need this! mat and set up in the garden now!

There is another beautiful shallow motion drill,you just nail it,thank you:)

Danny, Your Shallowing the Club Video was an Ah Ha moment for me. I've been struggling with my distance and no instructor has ever said that I needed to shallow my downswing to approach the ball and make sure I had soft wrists. I was hitting my body on the downswing and didn't know why. Thank you, thank you, thank you ! Can't wait to practice my New & Improved Swing !

As usual Danny Maude videos are the best on KZread.
