What a lovely moment for you and your dad to share. You're a good man, Danny, and your dad must be proud of you. Thank you for all your content and advice 👍⛳
My 3 wood is the last club I ever want to pull out of the bag, and it's an high rated new one. This step drill works almost immediately and is so consistent. Best drill I've ever done!
Danny, I came to report that this "drag and lag" has added effortless distance and more consistent ball striking to all my clubs, and I finally broke 100 yesterday as a result! Thanks so much for all this amazing content.
I’ve watched a TON of golf lesson videos , but yours by far is the BEST !! Thank you for all the wonderful/ amazing / helpful tips!! You are an awesome instructor!!! Thank you thank you !!
I have watched several of your videos to find my swing after picking the game back up after about 12 years.... you sir have helped me find my swing again. I am hitting the driver better than I did in high school and I really appreciate the tips and these videos. You are doing a great job!!!!!! Everything you have said is pretty dead on, on how a golf swing should be. Thank you again!! Plus my short game has gotten better as well!!
Golf Sam I am 79 years old and have shot rounds at par or under. My first lesson was in 1960 in New Mexico. Oh my I wish I had had you as my instructor. You are so unique and seeming to me "right on" as a "feel" teacher. Sam in San Diego, CA
Boy do I need this video. Was on holidays this week and played lots of golf and could have used this earlier. Better late then never. My friend's wife may be subscribing soon as she watched the video with me of you breaking the swing in 3 parts and liked it.
I played 9 on Saturday and watched this video on Friday night. This video ACTUALLY saved me multiple times where I piped my 3 wood as a follow up/save coming off of a crappy drive, putting myself a LW/PW away from the green. Excellent instruction!
Watched this last night on my phone while at the range and after about 15 minutes was really hitting the ball cleanly again. What did it for me was setting up with my left hand inside my left thigh and then thinking about hitting DOWN on the ball while focusing on keeping my arms extended. Once I did that, topping the ball stopped and I was ripping them right down the middle again 200+ yards with a nice trajectory. This used to be my best club in the bag and over the years became my worst; as you get older (I'm 65) and shorter off the tee, being able to hit a 3 wood some distance is critical to hitting the greens on long par 4s on my course. Very interested to see what happens when I play again next week. Thanks, Danny, you're the best!
Danny I have been working on my game and for me, looking at your right shoulder, seeing and feeling the shoulder turn was a game changer for me...... funny how such a simply and out of the blue tip does so much.
Every aspect of my golf game has improved dramatically ever since I subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. You are awesome!!!
This set up guidance is pure gold. And the turn drill too - I call that ' Karl ' as he has been calling me names from the back of the tee for 25 years. Just completed a practice session with 22deg hybrid, 5 and 3 wood. Confidence level with 5 wood is massively improved and the distance is plus 25 yards on average. Another great lesson plan. Thanks Danny.
Most people with a HCP over 12 will hit a 5 wood better and longer than a 3 wood. Danny's tips really help. I had a lesson where I was told I was too shallow into the ball. Steepened my swing and got instant increase in distance.
Danny, I’m 2 year late but you’re still here in the clutch! Thank you my good man. Small adjustments at at a time but slowly getting more consistent with my all around game and noticing things to work on. 10/10
There may not be a free lunch but, thankfully, there is always a free Danny video! Any video on difference in grip for the short/mid irons and the driver/woods/long irons?
i used to watch Rick Shiels as my "youtube advisor". He helped me buy my iron set due to his honest reviews. Now i found you as my Instant favorite TRUE advisor. Im glad i clicked your page. and BTW, i just picked up my new TM M5 3 wood yesterday and couldnt wait to try these drill at the range later today. Thanks a lot!
Danny, used the drag and lag drill for my mid irons and was amazed at how much more consistently my ball striking was after just a few shots. Thank you! Keep up the great work. Loving your teaching techniques.
Until recently I struggled with getting a full shoulder turn. Danny has a video on hip rotation and the movement back of the right hip . Anyone who struggles getting a full shoulder turn should watch that video also.
Over the past few years my 3 wood shots from the fairway were so bad, I stopped carrying the club in my bag. This step technique has already made a difference along with the looking over your shoulder exercise. I still have a long way to go to become consistent, but I have actually hit the ball well a few times! Thank you!
Thank you Danny ! I watched this video this morning before going to the driving range. All I can say is ...it works! I love the simplicity of your explanations. As a relatively newcomer to golf the simpler the better for me. Once again thank you !
Always struggled with topping my fairway wood (I’ve got a 4 wood for a bit more loft)... tried the step drill and it was working right away... good height, distance AND even straight! Love it! Thanks Danny!
Danny I have just started watching your videos and the difference i am seeing in the way I hit my irons or drivers is like night and day. I have tried some of your techniques on the range and have noticed an immediate improvement. Can’t wait to try on the course. Your instructions are very clear, you don’t get too technical and most importantly your drills work. Thank you.
I finally took your fairway wood instruction to the range. Spot on - my hand were creeping back so moving them towards my left pocket and focusing on my swing plane made a BIG difference. Kudos Mr. Maude!
Love this video. Just started using my 3 wood again off the fairway after putting it away for about a year. Hitting some good shots, and I know these tips will help !
You are a very good instructor. Clear and precise and simple . It feels like golf is easy. I will apply this today. Also your driver instruction was superb. I got consistency and it draws beautifully.
Danny, you've helped me so much with the videos you've posted recently, I was a slicer, now I'm not, I used to struggle with the physical motion of the golf swing, now I'm hitting consistent good long & straight shots and am feeling completely in control of the ball, thanks to you, I feel released from the chains of my golfing ailments that I've struggled with for many years and I'm looking forward to enjoying the game a whole lot more now knowing I can make the shots I couldn't have before. Thank you so much.
I used this method the last few days. I’m hitting the ball further and straighter, my swing is so much better. I was having trouble with my fairway woods but now all is well. Thanks. Your a very good teacher
I have trouble get the ball off the ground with my woods and hybrids. I tried your drag and lag and step drill . The ball is getting in the air now . Hopefully I can get my scores down . Thanks a million!
Danny you are always giving us great tips.Here's a great tip for you.During lockdown I was practising chipping into net in the corner of my garden using 30% practice balls.Because I was only chipping a short distance they allowed me to perfect my backswing turn and for the first time in my life to draw my shots.When I returned to golf my whole game had improved because I was getting a better turn in the backswing.Try them Danny-you'll be surprised how well they work.
Hey Danny. Just wanted to say thank you for all of the videos. I’ve been watching a lot recently and it’s really helped my game. I’ve gone from being inconsistent in every facet of the game to being just a few made putts away from shooting even par thru 9. You’re a real life saver.
Also thought you’d like to know that I hit a green side bunker shot to about 5-6 feet (something I’ve been REALLY struggling with) and I yelled “DANNY MAUDE!!!!!!” in my probably very poor British accent 🤣
Danny, your explanation and visualizations are so helpful. I watch and rewatch all the time and my iron play has improved tremendously. Now I'm learning to apply that to the longer irons and woods. The lag is so helpful for me. I'm really grateful. Hope to thank you in person someday.
Danny thanks for all your coaching, my scores have improved tremendously. I have never scored under 100 as a beginning golfer due to my baseball swings, but watching your videos my last two scores were 96 and 92 respectively. I have been hitting the ball consistently and straight. Great lessons keep up the good work.
Love your 3 wood tips Danny. As you stated that the 5 wood had a little more loft ,so after practicing your tips, I now hit the 5 wood much more consistently than the 3 wood. Thanks again. your tips,
Danny if ever I make it and come to see you I'm going to give you a big hug, not only you've got an infectious enthusiastic way of teaching but also a simplistic way of explaining that only an idiot will not understand.Thank you very much keep them coming.
Great tips again Danny! checking out your tips i realised as i've got older my swing has become a bit of a thrash by shoving my left shoulder up and across, this tip of yours has helped realise why i was topping and pulling. Keep them coming.
Danny, I must tell you that I consistently SMOKE my 3 wood off the tee. I have the utmost confidence in it and haven't hit a driver in 5 years. I may sacrifice a little distance, but, my consistency is well worth the trade-off. Just needed to share. All the best
Thanks Danny again a great video, took this drill to the driving range sunday morning now striking my 5 wood even better. Years ago dropped my 3 wood and added a 9 wood to the bag - this little club is the envy of my playing partners, next club up from my 5 iron, with this drill even striking that better. Just watched video again prior to a match later today.
Thanks Danny, this has helped fairway wood striking immensely. Cracked some dream shots with them today on my round too so the practice has translated beautifully to the course.
I must thank you soooo much because the problems I have had hitting the #3wood low and worse disappeared when at address I moved the handle very slightly left, and hey presto I have long shots climbing up in the air. So simple and a lovely sound at contact also.
Hi Danny, I'm absolutely sure I can use this fairway wood video to help my game. I do have a tendency, once in a while, to top the ball, and feel like I'm jumping out of my shoes, to try and hit a long fairway wood. Your inclusion of stepping motion, in the last couple of videos, has certainly helped get that feeling of transference (not sure if that's the correct word) of weight but should help the proper strike of the fairway wood. Thanks again for the brilliant instructional videos. Cheers!
I have both of the faults your friends have/had when it comes to hitting fairway woods, so this lesson is doubly helpful for me. I know that I'm supposed to put pressure on the ball but, 'til now, had no idea how. I'm playing Monday and shall attempt to do what you have described and demonstrated. Thank you.
Danny, I literally had never successfully hit a three wood off the deck, until two weeks ago. I was watching your other video on hitting the 3 wood while eating breakfast before a round. I get to the 5th hole, a par five and I'm 266 out from a slightly elevated pin. I absolutely crushed it, dead straight. Ball ended up 4 ft from the hole. Arms felt weightless throughout the swing. I haven't quite been able to replicate that strike, but I'm no longer afraid to pull the club out and have been having quite a bit of success with it. Last round out, the old topper was coming back. Hoping this video will rekindle the magic. The best tips I've gotten from your 3 wood videos were to set the ball a little further back in my stance and trying to hit a little down on it. I think I'm getting a little too rigid again and not flowing enough. I'm going to try out both of these drills next time out.
Cheers from the US Danny. Fantastic videos. Thanks for simplifying this extremely frustrating sport. Had thoughts about quitting the game cause of my inconsistencies but after watching videos like this im eager to start playing more. A big thanks.
Looking forward to trying it as I am not consistent with my fairway wood. But need to mention last weeks drill I have worked on has revolutionised my game. Never hit my irons better in my life long and straight. Still working with the driver but that is work in progress. Absolutely brilliant
Very cool lesson again Danny! Turning is one, tempo is the other secret . I was war too fast in my backswing, getting in trouble on the way down. I slowed down to 4:1 or even 5:1 and suddenly this controlled but natural feeling comes up. Thank you mate, Go on teaching us!
Excellent as always Danny. The clarity and simplicity in your instruction makes it easier to follow and then even I can take it to the course. Thanks for your help.
Great video Danny. I tried to sweep 3W for years. Hitting down makes a huge difference. Love my 3W, hit it even better than my hybrid. Best club in the bag for me.
You did it again, Danny. Saturday afternoon I was struggling at the range with my 3W and hybrids. Topping some, none with a solid strike. But all I had to do today was adjust my set up per this video and, viola! Thanks!
Thanks Danny. I’m usually reluctant to pull my three wood out for this very reason - topping it and dribbling down the fairway. I fall back to my five wood because I’m more confident in that shot. Now I have a plan to follow to put that scary club back in my shot options. Great video.
I've been having trouble hitting my fairway woods lately. I used to drag the club and haven't been doing it. I remember it helped with my rhythm and timing. Thanks for reminding me.
@@DanielMaude This actually works for me! Because I was constantly hitting ground balls with my 3 wood, I stopped using it. I played yesterday and I reached a par 4 in regulation that I normally couldn't reach. Now my 3 wood ball flight is normal. Thanks again!
Just played Arcadia bluffs mi. It has 5 amazing par 5 as well as some beautiful long par 4s I used 3 wood alot,this drill will aid me very much.cant wait to try this thanks.
Morning Danny love the practice plans which I have been printing off and using them on our practice ground at my club with my young grandson during this last few weeks great Idea much appreciated
I'm using your looking over shoulder routine before my final swing. The one thing that help me , on my take away, I fill my club head staying low to the ground and letting the club come off the ground and coming up with my body turned the top of my back swing....Then complete the down swing as you instructed.
So I played 27 holes with it and I’m still on the fence. The distance is great off the deck but I’m not hitting it right. It’s my first 5 wood and first experience with Taylormade(SIM Max).
Great tips. This is the shot that always troubles me...especially after a good drive. Hopefully I can use these to restore confidence and.......RELAX!!
Your promoting the Bobby jones takeaway which has transformed my golf with every club in the bag not just 3wood. The movement of the hands before the club head creates the drag and lag naturally with no excess thoughts to bother you. Bobby was teaching this in 20s and 30s and it remains true today Drag and lag people. It works.
@@DanielMaude ua-cam.com/video/GXIo8jj3cl0/v-deo.html Hi Danny I have to say upfront that he doesnt actually use the Drag & Lag phrase(as good as it is and which by the way is the best and most memorable description ive heard) but he does promote the softness of the wrists and the almost gentle backswing . At about 4m 30s into the video you can watch his takeaway activating the backswing with his wrists first and then dragging the clubhead behind his hands to create the lag at transition. I have adopted this method and it works well for me. As I get older the wristy lag effect has piled on at least 20yds across most of the bag (not wedges!) But..... Even if you think thats a load of hogwash the video is epic in its non pc treatment of the poor girl ! James Cagney typically keeping a lid on her excitement by muffling her voice with his hand! Besides that a great piece of golfing history by one of the great golfers of his era. Hope you like it Dan
Will definitely try this, thanks. I am inconsistent with my 3 wood, some rounds perfect others terrible. I certainly recognise the flipping at the ball with your hands!!
Hi Danny. Your video's have been a great help to my game recently. I'm an 11 handicapper and shot a 3 over par, 77, last weekend. My best round ever at my home course. And have also shot a few rounds in the low 80's. Thank you 👍🏌
My Issue has always been topping the ball . I position myself at the ball like you saying but what I would do my hands were also centered with my body . your suggesting my hands be forward of the face . GREAT SUGGESTIONS !!!!!!!
Great coaching and informative on one of the tricky shots we all try to do with various success.I think this will help the transfer into the trail heel is key think you see this in henrik stenson swing .great again Danny beers up.
The UNDER ARMOUR clothing has improved considerably over the last few years. Much better fit and style. I purchased 3 pairs of the tapered performance trousers - blue, black, grey - and they are great fit. Especially the shoes have improved.
Thanks for this vid , perfect timing for me . I’ve been struggling with topping my fairway woods recently and didn’t know what had changed so I’ve just watched a vid my brother did of my swing on the range and I’ve been flicking my wrists . Hopefully now I know what the problem is I can sort it out . We’re playing Monday so fingers crossed my fairways get back to being a good option rather than something I’m dreading hitting
Danny Maude it was like chalk and cheese , every shot from the 1st tee shot went really well . I’ve watched loads of vids since I took up golf but none have made such a big difference in such a short time .
Hi Danny! I left my 3 wood in the bag as well last few months and have only played 3h or 5w. I just started the hitting 3w off tee last round with success but would not dare hit it off deck but after this video, I’m going to try it off the deck. I really need it to gain more distance:)
I’m still working on my 3W. Was working great with your technique but I started chunky again. Need more range time I think:) but OMG your drag and lag was so awesome with my Driver.
Great tips really helped me again, Danny. But I think I am now too reliant on the step back before swinging move! Don't really mind actually if it looks odd if the result is better. Thanks again
Thats not a problem, I think it should be the go to move for most golfers. You wouldn't stand still in many other sport where you are trying to propel some thing forward
Once again a great video Danny. Today I had a shocker with my 3 wood so this video appeared at the perfect time for me. Straight away I see that I am one of these "flick the wrist" types and ball position too near the middle of my stance. Off to the range tomorrow with your video embedded in my memory. Thanks again for your instructional advice Danny. 😐🦘🦘
What a lovely moment for you and your dad to share. You're a good man, Danny, and your dad must be proud of you. Thank you for all your content and advice 👍⛳
Really appreciate that thank you
My 3 wood is the last club I ever want to pull out of the bag, and it's an high rated new one. This step drill works almost immediately and is so consistent. Best drill I've ever done!
James Morgan that’s brilliant to hear James, well done
Oh boi, par 5s in 2 here I come, and tight par 4s here I come. This is a gem!
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Joe

@@DanielMaude If you have any stretching tips to loosen up before hitting balls I would appreciate hearing. Thanks, Danny.

I know that I'm supposed to put pressure on the ball but, 'til now, had no idea how. I'm playing Monday and shall attempt to do what you have described and demonstrated. Thank you.
Thats brilliant Michael, look forward to hearing how it goes
Danny, I literally had never successfully hit a three wood off the deck, until two weeks ago. I was watching your other video on hitting the 3 wood while eating breakfast before a round. I get to the 5th hole, a par five and I'm 266 out from a slightly elevated pin. I absolutely crushed it, dead straight. Ball ended up 4 ft from the hole. Arms felt weightless throughout the swing. I haven't quite been able to replicate that strike, but I'm no longer afraid to pull the club out and have been having quite a bit of success with it. Last round out, the old topper was coming back. Hoping this video will rekindle the magic. The best tips I've gotten from your 3 wood videos were to set the ball a little further back in my stance and trying to hit a little down on it. I think I'm getting a little too rigid again and not flowing enough. I'm going to try out both of these drills next time out.
lkjh00on89 that’s great, let me know how it goes. Thanks for commenting
Cheers from the US Danny. Fantastic videos. Thanks for simplifying this extremely frustrating sport. Had thoughts about quitting the game cause of my inconsistencies but after watching videos like this im eager to start playing more. A big thanks.
Thats brilliant to hear, the most important thing is to go out and have fun
Your video on Fairway Wood has helped a lot! Love all your instructions on difficult parts of the golf game! Thanks!
Looking forward to trying it as I am not consistent with my fairway wood. But need to mention last weeks drill I have worked on has revolutionised my game. Never hit my irons better in my life long and straight. Still working with the driver but that is work in progress. Absolutely brilliant
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Hi Danny had issues with 3 wood and can't wait to try this video i have been very quick with my take away but now I feel confident
Thanks Ross 😁
Looking over my shoulder really has helped!!!! Becoming a real fan of you Danny
My pleasure Darren, happy to help
Very cool lesson again Danny! Turning is one, tempo is the other secret . I was war too fast in my backswing, getting in trouble on the way down. I slowed down to 4:1 or even 5:1 and suddenly this controlled but natural feeling comes up. Thank you mate, Go on teaching us!
My pleasure Rick, hope you and Tina are staying safe and well
I'm a new golfer (well 20 years ago I was golfing) and enjoy lessons very much. Thanks Danny!
Just tried this after topping 10 fairway shoes yesterday. Hands ahead and add for me some turn BINGO! High 5 Danny Maude!
SHOTS not spell check shoes!!
RITZ G 😂👍
Brilliant, well done 👊🏻
Excellent as always Danny. The clarity and simplicity in your instruction makes it easier to follow and then even I can take it to the course. Thanks for your help.
Great lesson again. Easy to understand as always. I will try it tomorrow. I realy struggle with the 3 Wood! Merci Danny! 👍🏌️♂️🏌️♀️😷
My pleasure Michel, have a great weekend
Great video Danny. I tried to sweep 3W for years. Hitting down makes a huge difference. Love my 3W, hit it even better than my hybrid. Best club in the bag for me.
Thats great, keep it up
Danny you helped me find my natural swing by staying in the rythem of the swing..Thank you......
Thanks Sixto happy to hear it 😁👍
You did it again, Danny. Saturday afternoon I was struggling at the range with my 3W and hybrids. Topping some, none with a solid strike. But all I had to do today was adjust my set up per this video and, viola! Thanks!
Thank you I have such trouble with my fairway woods I will try this drill.
Lisa LaMagna my pleasure Lisa, let me know how it goes
Thanks Danny. I’m usually reluctant to pull my three wood out for this very reason - topping it and dribbling down the fairway. I fall back to my five wood because I’m more confident in that shot. Now I have a plan to follow to put that scary club back in my shot options. Great video.
You go for it. Enjoy!
This step method is fantastic, I now just do a little shuffle but it has really helped, thank you
Wonderful!
I've been having trouble hitting my fairway woods lately. I used to drag the club and haven't been doing it. I remember it helped with my rhythm and timing. Thanks for reminding me.
Happy to help Ed 🏌️♂️
@@DanielMaude This actually works for me! Because I was constantly hitting ground balls with my 3 wood, I stopped using it. I played yesterday and I reached a par 4 in regulation that I normally couldn't reach. Now my 3 wood ball flight is normal. Thanks again!
You’ are always present simple and easy way to show practical tips to me,thank you so much indeed.
My pleasure Helen, really happy to help
Just played Arcadia bluffs mi. It has 5 amazing par 5 as well as some beautiful long par 4s I used 3 wood alot,this drill will aid me very much.cant wait to try this thanks.
Sounds great Garry, all the best
Morning Danny love the practice plans which I have been printing off and using them on our practice ground at my club with my young grandson during this last few weeks great Idea much appreciated
Thats great Alan, makes the hard work worth while
How can this simple drill create such amazing results Thank you Danny love it.
You are very welcome William, great to hear its helping
I'm using your looking over shoulder routine before my final swing. The one thing that help me , on my take away, I fill my club head staying low to the ground and letting the club come off the ground and coming up with my body turned the top of my back swing....Then complete the down swing as you instructed.
That’s great, hope it helps
I just purchased my first wood yesterday and BOOM you post a video on how to hit one. I’ll take this lesson to the range today. Thanks Danny!
Good luck! Let me know how it goes
So I played 27 holes with it and I’m still on the fence. The distance is great off the deck but I’m not hitting it right. It’s my first 5 wood and first experience with Taylormade(SIM Max).
I switch my 5 wood to a g410 and I’m almost longer than my driver. Thanks for the video!
Great instruction video, Ive been having difficulites with my fairway metal woods. Cant wait to try your tips.
You can do it! Best of luck
Great tips. This is the shot that always troubles me...especially after a good drive. Hopefully I can use these to restore confidence and.......RELAX!!
Hope so John, let me know
Fantastic explanation on hitting fairway woods. I am playing tomorrow and I will try the exercise on the driving range before my round of golf
Happy to help Nicholas 😁
Your promoting the Bobby jones takeaway which has transformed my golf with every club in the bag not just 3wood. The movement of the hands before the club head creates the drag and lag naturally with no excess thoughts to bother you. Bobby was teaching this in 20s and 30s and it remains true today
Drag and lag people. It works.
So good to hear, have you seen any footage of him saying this win UA-cam?
@@DanielMaude ua-cam.com/video/GXIo8jj3cl0/v-deo.html
Hi Danny I have to say upfront that he doesnt actually use the Drag & Lag phrase(as good as it is and which by the way is the best and most memorable description ive heard) but he does promote the softness of the wrists and the almost gentle backswing . At about 4m 30s into the video you can watch his takeaway activating the backswing with his wrists first and then dragging the clubhead behind his hands to create the lag at transition. I have adopted this method and it works well for me. As I get older the wristy lag effect has piled on at least 20yds across most of the bag (not wedges!)
But..... Even if you think thats a load of hogwash the video is epic in its non pc treatment of the poor girl ! James Cagney typically keeping a lid on her excitement by muffling her voice with his hand! Besides that a great piece of golfing history by one of the great golfers of his era.
Hope you like it
Dan
Brilliant, thank you Danny, Your starting to make this game seem easy lol.
He's so bloody polite. How can you not subscribe?
Welcome to the community, hope to help you with your game 😁
Thanks Danny, I love your videos on irons,driver etc…..For some reasons I can’t download the picture graphics on the videos. Thanks JR
look for the tick just below the video. this will open the drop down box where the practice plan is
Will definitely try this, thanks. I am inconsistent with my 3 wood, some rounds perfect others terrible. I certainly recognise the flipping at the ball with your hands!!
Hope this helps Kevin, let me know
Danny Maude I am going to practice this afternoon and I will let you know how it goes
Danny love your drills makes every seem simple. I have taken all tension out of my swing by watching your drills.
That’s great Paul, really happy to help
Great tips Danny, terrific 2nd and 3rd shots on the Trackman - keep up the great information.
Thank you Craig, hope the new visuals are adding to the video
You make it so simple to understand Dany... 🙏
Really try my best to make this game as easy and fun to play as possible
Hi Danny. Your video's have been a great help to my game recently. I'm an 11 handicapper and shot a 3 over par, 77, last weekend. My best round ever at my home course. And have also shot a few rounds in the low 80's.
Thank you 👍🏌
Amazing score Rob, well done. I bet that felt great
Makes perfect sense Danny, thank you - dragging and lagging.... and shape! Relax and hit!! Woohoo!
Absolutely Georgie 😁
My Issue has always been topping the ball . I position myself at the ball like you saying but what I would do my hands were also centered with my body . your suggesting my hands be forward of the face . GREAT SUGGESTIONS !!!!!!!
My pleasure Larry, hope you are having a great weekend
Great coaching and informative on one of the tricky shots we all try to do with various success.I think this will help the transfer into the trail heel is key think you see this in henrik stenson swing .great again Danny beers up.
Yes I really love the right step move,
The UNDER ARMOUR clothing has improved considerably over the last few years. Much better fit and style. I purchased 3 pairs of the tapered performance trousers - blue, black, grey - and they are great fit. Especially the shoes have improved.
Yes, I really enjoy wearing the shoes
Thanks for this vid , perfect timing for me . I’ve been struggling with topping my fairway woods recently and didn’t know what had changed so I’ve just watched a vid my brother did of my swing on the range and I’ve been flicking my wrists . Hopefully now I know what the problem is I can sort it out . We’re playing Monday so fingers crossed my fairways get back to being a good option rather than something I’m dreading hitting
You can do it Accy, let me know how you get on
Danny Maude it was like chalk and cheese , every shot from the 1st tee shot went really well . I’ve watched loads of vids since I took up golf but none have made such a big difference in such a short time .
Hi Danny! I left my 3 wood in the bag as well last few months and have only played 3h or 5w. I just started the hitting 3w off tee last round with success but would not dare hit it off deck but after this video, I’m going to try it off the deck. I really need it to gain more distance:)
You go for it Andrew, let me know how it goes
I’m still working on my 3W. Was working great with your technique but I started chunky again. Need more range time I think:) but OMG your drag and lag was so awesome with my Driver.
Danny my index is down 4 shots since beginning of the summer and I’m still improving TY....
Awesome Jan, well done indeed 😁👊🏻
Danny, I’ve learnt so much from you and I’m so glad you worked on fairway woods this week. I was ready to give up with it.
You can do it! Enjoy
Nice tip with the sidestep before the hit, worked for me at least a few times which was an improvement for me
@MichaelLJ that’s great. Well done 👏
Great advice on fair way swing and very rhythmic results straight away, thanks
Thats great Larry, well done
Great tips really helped me again, Danny. But I think I am now too reliant on the step back before swinging move! Don't really mind actually if it looks odd if the result is better. Thanks again
Thats not a problem, I think it should be the go to move for most golfers. You wouldn't stand still in many other sport where you are trying to propel some thing forward
Once again a great video Danny. Today I had a shocker with my 3 wood so this video appeared at the perfect time for me. Straight away I see that I am one of these "flick the wrist" types and ball position too near the middle of my stance. Off to the range tomorrow with your video embedded in my memory. Thanks again for your instructional advice Danny. 😐🦘🦘
My pleasure Chris, have a great weekend
And you Danny
Pressure on the ball, one half step back, get that turn. Three easy things to remember, great coaching Danny 👍.
Thanks 👍
Thanks again for your great content you share with us here. I like the way and the joy you have during your explanations!
Thank you, I do love what I do
It looks simple but its hard for me to hit the ball,,,anyway thank you so much you’ve given some really helpful ideas i will practice it tomorrow.
Have fun Maria
Great stuff once again Danny, love that as a swing thought, ‘drag & lag’. Will give this a go. 🏌️🏌️🏌️
My pleasure David, it’s a simple movement that can have really great results
