I agree. My favourite shot in golf is hitting a solid iron, compressing the ball, getting it up in the air and watching it land and stop quick on the green. For me that's even better than hitting a long drive down the middle.
What a brilliant drill. I have produced and hosted a long running golf show in Australia and never have had compression explained so well. Danny, you are a true Pro, a term that is so widely abused in the golf world. Thank You.
Don't comment here until I have applied the lesson on the range or course. This really worked for me - feet aimed left drill particularly gave a great feeling of throwing hands and club head down the target line. Last 8 iron was a pure strike plus 15 yards and arrow straight. Thanks for all the lessons in 2019 Danny. You've signed off for the decade with a corker here.
At times this sport, we love, can be humbling. Your instruction is the check points, to get us back on track, and try and improve the weaknesses in our swing. It's been a brilliant year of useful instruction and I would like to sincerely thank you for what you do. A very Happy New Year to you, Mate!
Lots of golf instructors/youtubers...just a few with real helpful tips...Danny is one of the few...worth following...thank you DM for breaking things down for us!
Today I looked at Danny's video from 3 years ago - "How to stop swinging over the top". This was a great refresher to correct my takeaway. I also loosened my grip which felt weird at first but after just doing practice swings without hitting a ball I was grooving and ingraining muscle memory. When I did start to hit balls today and yesterday I was achieving a high draw with 3 hybrid, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons. I am leaving my driver just now until I get better with shorter clubs. Thanks Dan.
I love how you describe the feel and not so much positions. Positions are static while the feel is more dynamic. Another great video. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks Danny!
I just wanted to say, as we go into 2020, what a difference you have made to my game. I try to take one lesson each week and work it into my practice and then into the limited games I play. The improvement in my game has been noticeable not just by me but by my mates, who all ask if I've been having lessons. I tell them I have!! Cheers and good luck to you and yours in the next 12 months
The open stance one is actually how I now play golf. Oddly, so did another greater ball striker named Lee Trevino. you said you were surprised by how good it was; great way to form opposing angles that produce better and easier results. Thanks Danny for highlighting better ball striking methods.
Wow. I like how you communicate in simple words, thoughts and actions. For a brief time, I was compressing the ball but I never understood how I was doing it. Now I think I can get it back. Thank you!
Thanks, this is the best teaching I have seen on weight shift. I have gone out in the back yard and it just feels great. My ball flight has come down where it belongs with the irons and also the woods.
Thank you for this, watched it before I went out today and shot my best round on my home course. When it came off pure I could only hear the ball, I could barely feel it it was so smooth. Keep up the awesome content, you're serving the community well!
I love the screwdriver tip. I'll try that one out next time I go up to the range. No golf courses here in my part of China, but there's a lovely range not far away. I'd figured out the opening the stance tip by myself (aren't I the clever one) I agree, there's no better sound than that of a ball fizzing off the club face. Nor any worse one than the sound of a shank into the bushes.
BEST VIDEO FOR IRONS!!! The stick out the end of the grip is exactly the physical cue I needed. I am finally able to get proper compression and it’s amazing. I went to the range to apply what I learned in this video and right away got dialed in with my 8 iron. I was feeling confident in my new skill so I grabbed my 4 iron that I could not hit for the life of me. Like seriously never ever hit it more than 100 yd topped along the ground. That ball screamed off the face 200+ yards on the 1st try. Now all I have to fix is my 3 putt 😂.
Danny I’ve watched your videos over the past few weeks and you have changed my. Game!!. Your instructions are so clear and uncomplicated. All best for 2020
Your tips are great! I went out to the range right after viewing this video and drastically improved my irons. I like how you keep the instruction simple and natural. Many other videos take out rods and hammers and all kinds of complex gimmicks to explain and make it just more confusing. I especially like your hitting the ball multiple times. Your image of doing the swing is the best instruction. Thanks!
Wonderful video! The more I study the golf swing, the more it seems to be a feel game as opposed to trying to attain certain positions during the swing....great lesson!
Don Podlas absolutely Don, there’s technique to many human movements. Riding a bike, picking up a cup of coffee, driving a car. Not sure why in Golf we have been made to believe every inch of the swing needs to be broken down
Great stuff Danny and exactly what I feel. Many years ago I took lessons from Lynn Blake. He taught something similar but what clicked for me was two things: 1) the concept of “drag the mop”, meaning handle first then clubhead and 2) take 1/4 swings as a warm up with a 5 iron to feel the compression.
Thanks for all the good instruction, Danny. What I would like to see is an episode on where to place the ball in my stance when on uneven ground. Like when my feet are above or below the ball or when the ball is on an upslope or downslope. How does it affect club selection. If you have covered this in a previous video and you could reply with a link it would be appreciated. Great Job! Thanks again. Glenn
Excellent drill, Danny. It's what I always say, "We hit the ball by way of our body. The golf club is merely incidental." Another tip is to RELAX as your body rotates by the ball, letting your arms fully extend through the ark, as you demonstrated rather nicely, Danny.
Thankyou Danny. I love your instructions . They are very clear and simple. Thankyou for sharing. I wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. 😘 Elisabeth- Madrid- Spain.
The thing I enjoy most about your videos Danny is how simple you make the golf swing seem as opposed to some other online teachers out there. Every time I watch you hit a ball it looks so effortless & natural 🏌️♂️ I wouldn't mind you having a tracer one day so I can see your ball flight. Enjoy 2020 😊
I've had to come back on here to say thank you for such a fantastic tip ! I went out into my back garden and used the same 8 iron that I could only get max 125 yards out of and according to my swing caddie 300 I was hitting it 145 yards! I hit my 6 iron 177 yards up from around 150 max .......I just got it working after playing for around 5 years. Thanks so much for making it 'click' in my head.
You’ve got yourself a new (and very grateful) subscriber! Came across your videos by accident, and I’m so glad I had! Your teaching is common sense and logical, and stops the swing from getting mechanical. The two which have made the most difference to me are the “sweep a broom” for crisp iron impact and the chipping video. The latter saved my bacon three times during my medal round today. Came back in level par nett, but could/should have been so much better if not for 7 (!!) 3-putts! Not bad for first comp in 3 years! Feeling much better about the game already, can’t wait to play again! PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEE do a putting video soon! A very happy golfer 🏌🏾♀️ .
Thank you Danny! I took this drill to the course this week. After just a couple of holes I was hitting my irons consistently the rest of the day, and hitting purer and farther than I have in years.
Cant wait to grab my irons and head to the backyard. Ive struggled with my irons for years and do believe my swing has become too mechanical focusing more on the impact then the body turn and the hands at impact. I look forward to some improvement. Keep it up. Love how you kerp things simple.
I discovered your channel a few minutes ago and i have to tell you that your explantions are so simple and on point. Everything i wish from a lesson of golf. Keep this up and stick to your style please. Greetings from Bavaria.
Hi Danny, after taking swing thought about 'screwing down a jam jar lid' for the body rotation and weight transfer it resulted in taking consistent heavy divots on all the irons. Came back and looked at your solution for it of leading hands though at impact and VOILA wow! MANY THANKS!
Hitting behind the ball is my nemesis but the drills show precisely what I need to do. Another great piece in the golf jigsaw. Your videos have over the year have really helped. Danny wishing you and your family a very happy healthy and peaceful New Year
I’m a beginner and I played baseball my whole life and I’ve always heard to not have a baseball swing in golf well funny thing is what you just showed right now is exactly a baseball power hitter mechanics! So it makes more sense now to me thanks.
Im usually obsessed with your tutorials Danny but got to be honest, this video went over my head a bit. I just want to know about my position at impact and further more, how this changes on different slopes. I find if I'm downhill I can open my stance a little. If the ball is above my feet a little, I can grip down and aim right. If the ball is below my feet I aim left. My biggest issue is uphill lives on fuller shots. Everything seems to go right, even full shanks. Would love to understand why.
Great Vid Danny.. I always carry this drill out at the range. It gets the body out of the way and enables me to complete the golf swing and face the target at the completion of the follow through. It is also a really good drill for your short game.. Well done.
Hi Danny. Stumbled across your channel the other day and have picked up some really useful bits which have helped my ball striking with driver and irons no end. Need to watch your chipping/pitching and putting videos now 👍
I just shot my best round ever today, level par 72 - and I’m a 12 handicapper. I can’t believe the difference in my ball striking. I am genuinely gobsmacked 👍
Danny, have you ever considered a video on how to read the greens? That's where I really have problems sometimes putting at correct pace, but bad direction doesn't give me a chance to get it close. Thanks so much for your videos. As an infrequent golfer, I just want to be able to go out with friends and not embarrass myself too badly. Your videos, especially on chipping and pitching, have simplified the technique and given me consistency to get it close, even playing once every other month and without practice. Thanks!
Another great drill. This open stance is very interesting. For most of us who are getting older - proper rotation is really a key challenge. Without it - the only way to square the clubface, let alone compress the ball, is with the hands (flipping). I actually play with this open stance. From the very start, it automatically presets the hips in a rotated position. Well begun is half done.
You have a very nice way about you. Locked down in Victoria BC Canada. A range has just opened I am going to do this. The aim left drill is something I would do on the course when going bad. I thought it was a band aid instead it's real. Thanks Chris
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
Great advice Danny was struggling to get enough turn on my top half due to a former back injury causing poor strikes and direction, now by opening up my stance wow shot 3 over on front 9 at Westerham playing off 17.Happy new year to you
Love the screwdriver drill, and especially the last one of aiming way left. Even just standing here in my kitchen, I can feel how the face will be a lot squarer at impact. I think this drill could help my aim in general... You seem to be swinging pretty loose yourself Danny; are you off for a round today?
@@DanielMaude Nice, hope you had a good one :-) I'm off to get some kind of play in, even if it's driving range. My injury has finally healed, woohoo!! Happy New Year!
Hi Danny, I'm an ardent fan of yours and enjoy your teaching methods, simple and to the point. On the odd occasion ie "THE BEST IRON TIP EVER" The ball was out of shot! I don't know if it's anything to do with my screen resolution but it doesn't happen in other videos. Anyone else has that problem? Thanks, Paul.
I love the screwdriver tip. I think that helps keep the lead arm and club aligned well. However I think the open stance training technique works with people who are too flicky with the wrists and pull the ball by getting the clubhead ahead of the hands. However a lot of people have issues of getting the hands too far ahead of the clubhead leaving the face open and slicing it. I use a closed stance to try to break that habit.
Once again a lesson for the simple player. I appreciate your lessons so much! Because of you my game has improved all year long. I can't wait for 2020 and more lessons from you.
@@DanielMaude ,you know danny it's crazy some times,,,, I just dont get it ,everytime I go out with a goal to do something better it just doesn't work out ,I'm telling you I feel good ,i look good ,i put in the practce,expect to kill it ,,,and when I hit course all practice goes out window,,,what is going on. I have know fear of people, watching ,,I'm I just cant stay to a plan , help,,,its getting frustrating
Always enjoy your tutorials Danny 👍 Any chance you could make a video on how to hit your long irons. I really struggle with consistency and would really appreciate some tips 👍
Another brilliant video Danny. Since discovering you and your videos, I’ve improved more than any other instruction I’ve ever had. The one video you did where you put the socks under your lead toe and trail heel, has helped me more than any other tip I’ve ever had in my life. Getting the feel for that has helped me strike and compress the ball better than ever. Thanks for everything!
Once you learn how to properly use irons, the golf game takes on a new level of fun. But getting there is the hard part. Can be very frustrating. Took me forever and a day to learn how to hit down on the ball and take a divot after impact.
If I could pure 8/10 iron shots I wouldn’t even care about my score anymore. It’s seriously the best feeling in golf.
It sure is
I agree. My favourite shot in golf is hitting a solid iron, compressing the ball, getting it up in the air and watching it land and stop quick on the green. For me that's even better than hitting a long drive down the middle.
Agreed 👍🏻
I agree also
Something I’ve personally done that’s helped me with putting iron shots is literally just ball placement. It’s simple friend!
What a brilliant drill. I have produced and hosted a long running golf show in Australia and never have had compression explained so well. Danny, you are a true Pro, a term that is so widely abused in the golf world.
Thank You.
Really appreciate the feedback, thank you 🤜🏻🤛🏼
That magical moment when you strike that perfect iron shot that comes off the face like butter! Thanks for the tip!
Jim Saddler there is nothing better than hearing that ball fizz of the club face 😁

Brilliant video. Fantastic tips!
David Walters thanks as always David, hope this helps you jump start the swing for 2020
Great video, Danny. You made this look so easy I could teach my wife using these tips. Oh, wait. Never mind. Bad idea. But, the video rocks.
Funny, I would leave that one too 😁
Another great video, another brilliant year full of fantastic online support from Danny. Thanks a lot and happy 2020!!!
Lars Winkler thanks for all your support and a Happy New Year!
Very nice video, Danny. Never thought of the feet wide open drill. I will try it when the cold weather breaks.
Danny i tried the iron's v Driver, just the info i required, delivered in the break down step by step, thanks your a top coach 🏌️♂️⛳
Philip Crewe amazing Philip, well done!
Great advice Danny was struggling to get enough turn on my top half due to a former back injury causing poor strikes and direction, now by opening up my stance wow shot 3 over on front 9 at Westerham playing off 17.Happy new year to you
Amazing Jonathan, well done
A great year of videos Danny keep them coming in 2020 ,have a good year yourself.
thank you Richard, thanks for the support in 2019
Danny you are the one to learn thankyou Eddie
Pleasure Eddie 👍
Danny excellant video, Thanks you!
Many 🙏
Love the screwdriver drill, and especially the last one of aiming way left. Even just standing here in my kitchen, I can feel how the face will be a lot squarer at impact. I think this drill could help my aim in general...
You seem to be swinging pretty loose yourself Danny; are you off for a round today?
Roli Rivelino not today, I’m driving back from Christmas at my parents 😁. Happy new year
@@DanielMaude Nice, hope you had a good one :-) I'm off to get some kind of play in, even if it's driving range. My injury has finally healed, woohoo!!
Happy New Year!
I feel like you are my own individual coach, Danny, you are a genius, thanks once again.
very kind David, just happy to help
Hi Danny, I'm an ardent fan of yours and enjoy your teaching methods, simple and to the point. On the odd occasion ie "THE BEST IRON TIP EVER" The ball was out of shot! I don't know if it's anything to do with my screen resolution but it doesn't happen in other videos. Anyone else has that problem? Thanks, Paul.
Paul Ingram thanks for getting in touch Paul I will look into it, all the best for the new year
Merry Xmas Danny! Another great video stop on!
Jack Gardner thank you Jack, appreciate the support
Great tip. Can't wait to try it when it gets warmer in north Missouri
I could do with some warmer weather here too 😁
Great video Danny really helping me become a better golfer, keep up the great work and have a great new year 👍
Luke Halls many thanks Luke, happy new year 🥳
Not just saying it that’s the best drill a have ever seen thanks it really helps 🎉
I have opened my front foot it has helped my short game thanks for your videos
Well done Rick 👍
Best tip! Will try it today! Thanks coach.
All the best 👍
Thanks for this video. I thought I was gonna have to quit golf lol this really helped my game.
That’s brilliant
I love the screwdriver tip. I think that helps keep the lead arm and club aligned well. However I think the open stance training technique works with people who are too flicky with the wrists and pull the ball by getting the clubhead ahead of the hands. However a lot of people have issues of getting the hands too far ahead of the clubhead leaving the face open and slicing it. I use a closed stance to try to break that habit.
Very true, we do need to educate the correct release too
Once again a lesson for the simple player. I appreciate your lessons so much! Because of you my game has improved all year long. I can't wait for 2020 and more lessons from you.
Ralphdaddy great to heat Ralph, well done...so pleased for you...all the best for 2020
great tip ,open stance,thanks Dannyboy, have absolutely WONDERFUL NEW YEAR ,CHEERS
Richard Wilber and you Richard, have a great new year
@@DanielMaude ,you know danny it's crazy some times,,,, I just dont get it ,everytime I go out with a goal to do something better it just doesn't work out ,I'm telling you I feel good ,i look good ,i put in the practce,expect to kill it ,,,and when I hit course all practice goes out window,,,what is going on. I have know fear of people, watching ,,I'm I just cant stay to a plan , help,,,its getting frustrating
Excellent lesson. Thanks
Always enjoy your tutorials Danny 👍
Any chance you could make a video on how to hit your long irons. I really struggle with consistency and would really appreciate some tips 👍
of course Jake, I will add it to the schedule
awesome lesson! great visuals to remember.
Thank you, very much appreciated
Thanks Danny, have been struggling to remember what day it is all week so this helps! 😂
Happy new year to you! 😉👍🏻
Mark L you are very welcome 🙏 happy new year to you too;)
love this tip, i used it today and got back spin for the first time ever
Brilliant, well done Peter, thanks for sharing
Another brilliant video Danny. Since discovering you and your videos, I’ve improved more than any other instruction I’ve ever had. The one video you did where you put the socks under your lead toe and trail heel, has helped me more than any other tip I’ve ever had in my life. Getting the feel for that has helped me strike and compress the ball better than ever. Thanks for everything!
That great to hear Todd, always good to get real results after trying and implementing instruction from a golf video. Danny knows his stuff. Cheers
Todd Thomas, The Mind Coach , Speaker, Trainer that’s amazing Todd well done, thanks so much for taking the time to let me know
Once you learn how to properly use irons, the golf game takes on a new level of fun. But getting there is the hard part. Can be very frustrating. Took me forever and a day to learn how to hit down on the ball and take a divot after impact.
I'm currently working very hard on this myself. I'll get there thanks to content from Danny, Shawn Clements and Clay Ballard.
Great drills and lesson Danny hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Have a great new year's and God bless you and your family
and you too Brian, hope you have a great start to 2020
Love the video Danny - I use those take-away chopsticks people usually throw away, instead of a screwdriver for the drill!
Pan Akson great idea Pan 😁
Good stuff Danny!! Thanks for your efforts to the golf community . Your training has changed my game
