The golf swing should be much easier than we make it. I’ve created a free guide for you here to go with this video. I hope you enjoy www.dannymaude.com/practice-plans-detail?productId=dont-turn-your-shoulders-for-a-driver-golf-swing&widget=hidden
Danny, I watched this video several times and repeated the drills over and over. I played today, and for the first time, I hit my drives straight and gained about 25 yards. The simplicity of your explanations and swing thoughts allowed me to finally feel the proper swing and club path. It has been a struggle for years. I can’t tell you how much this meant to me. The other benefit is that on the 2 times I sliced it, I knew instantly what I did incorrectly and fixed it with your tips. I’ve used your tips for pitches and green side bunkers found in your other videos with much success. You’re really the best online instructor I’ve found. Thanks so much for helping me enjoy the game so much more!
THIS MAN IS LEGIT!!! So happy I found your videos. I was slicing my driver and was consistently frustrated because I just couldn’t figure out why. When I tell you I watched a few videos and took my driver out and just followed the drills as he was doing them and immediately I saw the results on the range and while playing, I am not lying. I’ve been sharing your videos and telling people to watch. Keep it up, I know you will be well over 1 million subscribers very soon. Thank you so much for the awesome content!!
Gotta say these were the videos that made the difference for me. Danny gives you the necessary info in a digestible way, which was an issue for me. But just visualizing the circle and practicing the sequence of movement has made a huge difference.
Brilliant - this video explained in simple terms why senior golfers struggle to achieve solid ball connections. I am 76 yrs old & a high handy capper however following these tips/ drills has improved my game massively . Thanks Danny
I just started playing golf last year and the way you teach is way easier to understand and practice. Im obsessed with learning this game and it’s very difficult to learn on your own how something is suppose to feel. I struggle with just learning basic mechanics of a golf swing and I am horrible at finding my low point in my swing but. Your videos have helped a ton! Thank you!
Danny, you so much speak my language, after watching your videos it reminds me of thoughts I use to have when I first started playing almost 30 years ago, but lost going down many different rabbit holes thanks to poor golf instruction and concepts found on the internet. I played yesterday with this videos circular swing thought and something you mentioned made me play the best round I have played in years. That little bit about splashing the paint, was the little piece I have been missing for so long, that little splash is the closing the club face feeling slicers need to feel. Thanks for sharing your swing thoughts, the clearest presentation of golf concepts I have ever seen. Great Job.
such a pleasure to watch your videos. You have helped me immensely. I am 72 year young. Love when you work with your dad. By the way your lesson with your dad on getting out of the bunker was so extremely beneficial. Played with a senior golfer who played from the white tees, maybe 3-4 handicapper. He thought my bunker play was outstanding. Love your KISS principals. In this video you helped me with the visualization on the finish of splashing a paint brush. Made things so clear and easy. Well done.
Arguably the best golf coach on UA-cam. Realistic easy to follow advice for golfers of all ages & abilities. With your help I have shaved my handicap by 15 in just over a year. 66 years old & now playing off 22. Thank you so much.
The paint brush in your right hand “thought” is brilliant, my friend. I sometimes take practice swings with right hand only, to give me the feeling of clubface square to the arch, throughout the swing. Most amateurs cock their right wrist UP, when they should be cocking the right wrist BACK. Cocking the wrists UP gets the club across the line, at the top, with a very cupped left wrist. However, if you cock them BACK, the club will lay on plane, with a flat left wrist. Remember…. Hold the tray with your right hand, at the top. That’s the feeling you want. I don’t “save” very many videos, but this one is worth saving for sure. Great visual, Danny. I love it!
@@FlankerJackChannel Without seeing your swing, I’d say let your forearms naturally roll as you go up, and back. The top position should have the right forearm pointing up towards the sky, elbow down, and that bend should be around 90*(between forearm, and bicep parts of the arm). The right palm should feel more up to the sky also, like you’re holding a tray. Your left forearm should slightly roll clockwise, as you take the club back. Elbows should remain close together throughout. The left wrist should be slightly bowed, with your glove logo pointed at about a 45* towards the sky. The feeling I personally get is to really feel myself throwing my right forearm, and right hand behind my right shoulder. Most amateurs don’t utilize this move. The right elbow should always feel pointed more towards the ground throughout the swing, instead of pointing behind you(right arm chicken wing). A simpler way is to swing the club to the top, with right hand only, then reach up, and across, with your left arm, and place your left hand on the club. Hope this helps.
@@jamiesloan7259 so I seem able to do all of these things except when I start my downswing I come horribly over the top and I don't know why. Nothing I do seems to want to work. Thank you for your tips
@@FlankerJackChannel Concentrate on your right shoulder movement, as you transition into the downswing. Over the top guys always start with the right shoulder going forward, and almost up. You gotta train the complete opposite move. The right shoulder should go down, under, and through. Here’s a good visual, to make it happen very naturally…. Imagine I offer you $1,000 if you can sling your golf club underhanded through 3 sheets of drywall, about ten feet in front of you(towards target). Heck, get you an old club, and try it. You will naturally transfer your weight, and then apply the brakes, with your left leg, to get that snappy slinging of the club. You’ll also naturally NOT come over the top. You’ll find there’s absolutely zero power in it, if you’re trying to sling the club through drywall, towards target. The problem lies with your “intention”. Over TP guys generally picture the ball as their target, which makes them too steep, with an out to in path. Someone trying to help the ball in the air, will never transfer pressure, and always get stuck on their trail side, bottoming out behind the ball. Both of these are wrong intentions….. Try to drive the ball FORWARD, towards target. This one intention will change your golf game forever.
@DanielMaude you are such a talented teacher. I'm a tutor to HS kids, and know what it is like to come up with multiple ways to explain the same concept. You do this exceptionally well. You've talked about creating a wave and splashing your kids in the pool, and now you've explained it as flicking the paint off of a paint brush onto the screen at the same angle as the circle. Excellent imagery!
I've been playing golf for nearly 20 years, and thanks to your videos (plus a fair bit of range time!) Yesterday I used Driver in a competition for the first time ever. It wasn't perfect but kept the ball in play and now have something to build from. Thank you!
And another brilliant lesson! These visuals on the screen are very clarifying. Moreover, I needed this “shoulder turning thing” right now because I was stuck with the wrong shoulder turning. Thanks again Danny.
It’s been a week of working on the pendulum method to increase driver club speed, and I’ve put some serious time into it. Great news! I’ve added about 20 yards to my drives, I’m hitting it straighter than ever (with a little draw), and my timing has improved dramatically. The “box at impact” visual showed me several flaws. I went out Saturday and shot a handy 76, my age, and averaged about 230 off the tee! Thank you Danny! (Again!)
Had the good fortune to have a lesson with Danny last week. It was excellent. In one hour he improved both my driver and fairway wood distance and consistency. Now it’s up to me to practice what I learned. Excellent lesson.
Hi Danny, Always a pleasure watching your tutorials. Spot on with breaking down the shot with a smaller swings. I did this months ago to re align my swing. I agree with many of your viewers comments .... you are one of the best instructors on UA-cam! Stay well
Thank you for your easy to remember, duplicate, and engineering building blocks of golf dynamics with superb graphics and camera angles all wrapped up in your joy-kindness. I've learned so much from you body, mind, spirit. Sending you all the best.
Danny, you’re the best at referencing things to help understand what you’re trying to convey, like “imagine water pouring out of your ear” to help “give the okay” to turning your head.
The most in depth tutorial on UA-cam in every aspect of the game,and it’s free! Thanks Danny love your content mate, would love too see you do a vlog on the course with a few golfers showing a round!
After watching this, had to run into the garage and try it out. I think you nailed the secret to a consistent swing. Thanks again Danny. Wishing you and those close to you a very Happy New Year.
I have been working out, practicing and training since the golf season ended, in the hope that next season I can golf better and most of all, drive the ball to 230-240. But what stood out to me here was that I have always resisted the idea of turning my head! So today I practiced exactly what Danny demonstrated here and it made a big difference. I can't wait to go to the indoor range next time to see if/how much progress I've made. Great tips, thank you so much! Cheers from Canada.
What a great innovative visual !!! I suspect none of the other over the top explanations I have heard are as helpful as this one, particularly the knowledge that my shoulders are too horizontal in the followthrough. Who knew!!! So simple !!! Thank you so very much Danny.
@@DanielMaude Danny, I have been following you for several years and I am pleased to say that in my opinion your improvement has been remarkable. Thanks
Danny this is the most awesomist video of all the awesome videos you have done. The red squiggly lines is what someone told me I was doing but they didn't tell me how to fix it!
Brilliant. I love the simplicity of your descriptions, Danny. As my instructor always says, this really isn't difficult... we (us hacks) just don't know how to connect the dots. "Splattering wet paint on the follow through". I love that so much!! ☺
This seems an excellent guide as to how to achieve what we golfers strive for. I have found recently that having a little more weight on the lead foot at setup helps before I commence the backswing. Then I try to get my weight shifted back onto the lead side before I commence the downswing, while keeping centred over the ball throughout. There is a lot to master before one achieves consistency, but Danny's guides always help to explain the essentials.
Great information Danny, thanks for another quick little swing fix. I love watching how you break down the golf swing into an easier way to understand. One of the best golf instructors on UA-cam.
It always amazes me how easy it looks like when I watch the video... Then I go in the garage and I pull all my driver shots ahahah I guess i'll keep on practising and someday I won't rely on luck to drive a 285-300Y tee shot :) I'm near the 106 club speed when I achieve a really good one for now.. I simply need consistency. Is that too much to ask! Thanks again Danny for the valuable lesson.
Sincerely, I am very grateful. I ran into your videos. You changed my golf game tremendously just by watching and applying your instruction . can’t thank you enough.
I played golf here and there as an adult but gave it up when my daughter was born 14 years ago. I always told my "golf" friends I would pick it up after I turn 50 and beat you all by the time I play for three years. Well that time is now and I have chosen you as my virtual instructor. I have always been an athlete and had a lot of success in Hockey and Baseball. Im taking it "seriously" this time but I doubt I break 100 yet. Just went to the range for the 4th time after picking you up. Hitting an actual course with my brothers in about a week with the goal of hitting at least one nice shot per hole. Im definitely hitting better balls at the range than ever in my life so far.
Best tip ever, after practicing on the driving range I could see immediate results with the driver and woods. I have only failed one fairway today and it was a massive diference on my game. Thanks Danny
Great video,as a side being a senior i find if close my stance fractionally and lift left heel slightly this helps me turn and put into practise your lesson. If i did not do this i would have at best a 1/2 backswing.
Hi Danny, like so many others - just took this right hand paint splash thought to the range and yes it works. I also use the left hand Frisbee throw - same motion just a different feel and different hand. Awesome video, loved the graphics, well worth the effort.
Mr Danny, you Sir, make the best golf instruction on UA-cam. The way you explain things is excellent. Easy to understand and to follow. I wish I lived closer as I'd love a lesson from you.
LOVIN' THE COMPUTER GRAPHIC VISUALS!!! That sentence is in ALL CAPS cause it really unlocked some keys I was missing...Paint splatter, water out of your left ear, etc. BRILLIANT!!!!
Danny this is an excellent visual of the golf swing . I’ve been playing for a while and while a decent size guy can’t get my body into the swing for distance . All arms .. this explains the body aspect . Subscribed and watching all your video s. Thanks a million for all the lessons .
I learn so much from your videos💗 As a senior beginner golfer I just realized I am trying to not move my head at all🤣 I definitely have to loosen up👍 Thanks Danny 🥰
I have been watching you videos since I started golfing a year and a half ago. You have definatly helped me. I am having problems with my 4,5 and 6 irons. And if I am playing a course with soft ground.
This is exactly what I’ve been working on recently. I was swinging too vertically and my release was like the one you demonstrated which ended up in a slice. Since I’ve really concentrated on setup, swing plane (which now feels almost horizontal compared to the old one) and better release of the club, I can hit draws or fades on demand and sometime even straight! 😂. Distance has consistently been 20-30 yards further too now that the ball isn’t spinning like crazy. Great video Danny, will be watching it on repeat this week.
@@DanielMaude chilling with Mrs A and our daughters and hopefully a round or two if the course unfreezes and opens again! Hope you have a great one with Laura and family!
For those of us who are getting on a bit and the turn has turned into more of a sway, the paintbrush follow through is a good thought rather than falling back and shoving it! Thanks Danny
Well Hello there Danny. I am a sixty-three year old lady who has decided to play golf on occassion without becoming obsessed. I'm in the process of buying my expensive golf club set, one club at a time. I have a 7 iron and a putter so far. Now with your videos I expect to be making those hole in one shots soon. Very soon. Seriously, with your videos I can start my journey on the driving range with the 7 iron. Thank you for making these instructional videos.
Hi Danny I haven't picked up a club yet... Stood in the office ( hoping nobody's watching! ), Swinging backwards and forwards... Importantly UNLOCKING, feels so much easier. Can't wait to get on the practice ground. Thanks mate!
Danny for years I have been trying to move my left shoulder under my chin. Rather than tilting my shoulder down to the ball. Worked out in my garage and I found I have much more time to complete my swing. Great lesson can't wait to get to the range.
Excellent stuff. Very simple. Turning shoulders has definitely been one of the most misunderstood ideas in the golf swing. Thanks for the clear explanation.
@Danny Maude I'd love some one on one coaching if I ever win lotto I'm coming home to England and calling in to say hi. But for now keep up the great content
Danny I tried that yesterday and for some reason it took me 6 holes to make the adjustments. Then again, you do that at the practice area not during actual play. However, three things occurred that came to mind; 1. Keep it simple stupid! Imagine during a round I am cursing at myself. 2. My stance was past my shoulder, so when I dip my right shoulder, I was hooking the ball like crazy. Once I found the right width, "bingo"! 3. I tried swinging as hard as I could. Wrong approach. I only have now a 85-88 MPH speed, but man once I combined your instruction, plus the other 2 adjustments I mention here, and relax the shoulder, I was shocked once again that I actually increased an additional 15 yards maybe 20. So I went from a 220 yds drive to 235 maybe 240, made my life so much easier approaching the green for my second shot. But at 70 I tend to drift off occasionally and not keep that concentration. That is also the hardest part of the game. Thank you. Oh yes I did score an 84. Not great! But it is what it is.
Danny yet again I love the way you break it down,your videos really help and give me something to work with 👌🏻 I watch every week with my son he loves his golf which is good for me because I get some quality time with him❤️
About him he is 11 and worked his way to a 23 h’cap (mens tee) but grown up with a big swaying motion yes it’s worked for him until now but does tend to hit before the ball a lot hopefully this video helps 🤞🏻many thanks
Good one again Danny. Just moved house so painting and repairs needed to be sorted out. Back to the course this week so thanks for the driver lesson as I am sure to be a little rusty.
Hi Danny; this is the issue I have with UA-cam golf university. Many things we are told, even if correct are misinterpreted, especially by beginners & high handicappers. There's 1 thing I have yet to see from a teacher, UA-cam or in a live lesson with a pro. No one talks about what will truly give you more turn & a larger arc & that's stretching on a daily basis & not only before you play or practice. It only takes a few minutes per day so everyone has the time to improve their range of motion & more importantly, protect your back from injury. Could you please include this in 1 of your videos as I believe everyone will benefit from it if they're willing to do it on a daily basis. Thanks for the videos & keep up the good work!
A simple thought for this, right shoulder up and back and down and around. I like to visualize a wall right next to the left side of my head, that Im trying to touch with my right shoulder during my backswing. The movement of your right shoulder is incredibly important to the swing, as it promotes a steep backswing, proper weight shift, side tilt, naturally shallows the club on your downswing, and makes up for the distance in height between the club and ground caused by wrist extension.
Can you make a video on shank fixes? I have watched many on youtube but none of them seem to consistently work. I think it will benefit a lot of people, especially with the type of natural and intuitive teaching method that you use!!
Another great lesson Danny, thank you. I've been working on getting my backswing more in line with my shoulder line. My swing tended to be much flatter around the body. My driving is much improved. I can't endorse the splaying of the feet enough either. It's so helpful for turning the upper body. Thanks again for the great content. Have a great weekend.
This was super helpful! I’m a 10 handicap weekend hacker, used to play all the time but only get out once or twice a week now and don’t practice much. I have a tendency to turn with my arms only and this results in snap hook after snap hook. Watched this video today and just shot 81! Not a single snap hook in 18 holes. This is super easy to follow and understand…what a difference the little tweaks can make…
The golf swing should be much easier than we make it. I’ve created a free guide for you here to go with this video. I hope you enjoy www.dannymaude.com/practice-plans-detail?productId=dont-turn-your-shoulders-for-a-driver-golf-swing&widget=hidden

He’s so good at what if feels like in order to execute the technique. So often the feel can be so different to what we see
Hope it helps Warren

What a great innovative visual !!! I suspect none of the other over the top explanations I have heard are as helpful as this one, particularly the knowledge that my shoulders are too horizontal in the followthrough. Who knew!!! So simple !!!
Thank you so very much Danny.
Pleasure, hope it helps
@@DanielMaude Danny, I have been following you for several years and I am pleased to say that in my opinion your improvement has been remarkable. Thanks
Danny this is the most awesomist video of all the awesome videos you have done. The red squiggly lines is what someone told me I was doing but they didn't tell me how to fix it!
That’s great, Kathy, really hope it helps
Your graphics are spot on and really help me when you explain what you are teaching
Big thanks to my video editor Leo for that
Brilliant. I love the simplicity of your descriptions, Danny. As my instructor always says, this really isn't difficult... we (us hacks) just don't know how to connect the dots. "Splattering wet paint on the follow through". I love that so much!! ☺
Thanks Mark glad it’s helping 👍
This seems an excellent guide as to how to achieve what we golfers strive for. I have found recently that having a little more weight on the lead foot at setup helps before I commence the backswing. Then I try to get my weight shifted back onto the lead side before I commence the downswing, while keeping centred over the ball throughout. There is a lot to master before one achieves consistency, but Danny's guides always help to explain the essentials.
Very kind Johnny thank you
Thanks Danny. I watched this vid and two live lesson replays and my driver was so much straighter today. 11 of 15 fairways in today’s comp. 🥳
Wonderful to hear Rodney well done
Best teacher going around! Thanks Danny, Ive dropped my handicap by 5 in the last 8 weeks!
That’s amazing Tim well done
Well done I take it your in USA tho
Great information Danny, thanks for another quick little swing fix. I love watching how you break down the golf swing into an easier way to understand. One of the best golf instructors on UA-cam.
Reply kind Kelly thank you
Thanks!
No problem 😁
Really kind Mike thank you
Best and most helpful video that I have seen for the proper way to hit your driver.
Thanks for the feedback Dave, hope it helps
It always amazes me how easy it looks like when I watch the video... Then I go in the garage and I pull all my driver shots ahahah I guess i'll keep on practising and someday I won't rely on luck to drive a 285-300Y tee shot :) I'm near the 106 club speed when I achieve a really good one for now.. I simply need consistency. Is that too much to ask! Thanks again Danny for the valuable lesson.
this is one of the best lesson videos I've ever seen - the graphics are so helpful. Cant wait to practice this
Thanks Martin happy to help 😁
Splattering the paint with the paint brush is so helpful because I turn and slice like you described. Thank you!!!
Love to hear how it goes Keith
Once again a great visual and tactile way of simplifying a complex chain of events...perfect.
Sincerely, I am very grateful. I ran into your videos. You changed my golf game tremendously just by watching and applying your instruction . can’t thank you enough.
Thank you. Happy to help 😁
Paint splatter tip helps loads!!!! Great ways of describing feels
Hope it helps Jack
I played golf here and there as an adult but gave it up when my daughter was born 14 years ago. I always told my "golf" friends I would pick it up after I turn 50 and beat you all by the time I play for three years. Well that time is now and I have chosen you as my virtual instructor. I have always been an athlete and had a lot of success in Hockey and Baseball. Im taking it "seriously" this time but I doubt I break 100 yet. Just went to the range for the 4th time after picking you up. Hitting an actual course with my brothers in about a week with the goal of hitting at least one nice shot per hole. Im definitely hitting better balls at the range than ever in my life so far.
That’s awesome, thanks for trusting me to help your game. Any questions just ask
As a newbie to golf, with a bad back and a break over Christmas (leading to a step back in form), this stuff is invaluable!
Really happy to help James
Best tip ever, after practicing on the driving range I could see immediate results with the driver and woods. I have only failed one fairway today and it was a massive diference on my game. Thanks Danny
Well done Pedro 🙌
Great video,as a side being a senior i find if close my stance fractionally and lift left heel slightly this helps me turn and put into practise your lesson. If i did not do this i would have at best a 1/2 backswing.
Hi Danny, like so many others - just took this right hand paint splash thought to the range and yes it works. I also use the left hand Frisbee throw - same motion just a different feel and different hand. Awesome video, loved the graphics, well worth the effort.
Thank you Mike, really happy it helps
I love the simple visuals you come up with Danny!! They make so much sense!!
Thanks so much Linda
Oh that brushstroke tip is going to be such a game changer, literally! Thank you! Thumbs all the way up!
That’s awesome William happy to help
You are simply the best. Watching our "reminders" from time to time helps me really improving my golf game 🏌
So good to hear Werner
Thanks
Pleasure Bruce
Really kind of you Bruce
Mr Danny, you Sir, make the best golf instruction on UA-cam. The way you explain things is excellent. Easy to understand and to follow. I wish I lived closer as I'd love a lesson from you.
Thank you Steve appreciate the support 😁
LOVIN' THE COMPUTER GRAPHIC VISUALS!!! That sentence is in ALL CAPS cause it really unlocked some keys I was missing...Paint splatter, water out of your left ear, etc. BRILLIANT!!!!
Thank you appreciate the feedback 😁
Danny this is an excellent visual of the golf swing . I’ve been playing for a while and while a decent size guy can’t get my body into the swing for distance . All arms .. this explains the body aspect . Subscribed and watching all your video s. Thanks a million for all the lessons .
I learn so much from your videos💗 As a senior beginner golfer I just realized I am trying to not move my head at all🤣 I definitely have to loosen up👍 Thanks Danny 🥰
Best lesson I have sent in ages. Looking forward to temperatures rising from -6 in northern England so I can try this out at the range. Thanks Danny
I know it’s freezing here too🥶
I have been watching you videos since I started golfing a year and a half ago. You have definatly helped me. I am having problems with my 4,5 and 6 irons. And if I am playing a course with soft ground.
Follow this video and scratch a line in the turf to assess location of low point
This is very good! Almost as good as your series for Senior Golfers - which are excellent!
Really kind Dave, lots more to come in the senior series
Bin begeistert von der Klarheit und Umsetzbarkeit in deiner Video Tipps! Vielen Dank auch aus Germany!
Thank you Max 😁👍
감사합니다.
4:32 send mark - WOW - I used this at the simulator today and have never hit the ball better . Thank you !!!!!!
Happy to help Hondo 😁
This is exactly what I’ve been working on recently. I was swinging too vertically and my release was like the one you demonstrated which ended up in a slice. Since I’ve really concentrated on setup, swing plane (which now feels almost horizontal compared to the old one) and better release of the club, I can hit draws or fades on demand and sometime even straight! 😂. Distance has consistently been 20-30 yards further too now that the ball isn’t spinning like crazy. Great video Danny, will be watching it on repeat this week.
Awesome Tom, any plans for Xmas?
@@DanielMaude chilling with Mrs A and our daughters and hopefully a round or two if the course unfreezes and opens again! Hope you have a great one with Laura and family!
For those of us who are getting on a bit and the turn has turned into more of a sway, the paintbrush follow through is a good thought rather than falling back and shoving it! Thanks Danny
Thanks Guy 😁
Well Hello there Danny. I am a sixty-three year old lady who has decided to play golf on occassion without becoming obsessed. I'm in the process of buying my expensive golf club set, one club at a time. I have a 7 iron and a putter so far. Now with your videos I expect to be making those hole in one shots soon. Very soon. Seriously, with your videos I can start my journey on the driving range with the 7 iron. Thank you for making these instructional videos.
Hi Danny
I haven't picked up a club yet... Stood in the office ( hoping nobody's watching! ), Swinging backwards and forwards... Importantly UNLOCKING, feels so much easier. Can't wait to get on the practice ground. Thanks mate!
Love to hear how it goes Steve
I love the use of visualization in so many of your teachings. Really helps me out!
Thank you appreciate the feedback 😁
Danny for years I have been trying to move my left shoulder under my chin. Rather than tilting my shoulder down to the ball. Worked out in my garage and I found I have much more time to complete my swing. Great lesson can't wait to get to the range.
Brilliant Paul let me know how you get on!
Excellent stuff. Very simple. Turning shoulders has definitely been one of the most misunderstood ideas in the golf swing. Thanks for the clear explanation.
Happy to help Barry 👍
Great graphics Danny, always great when the golf swing appears simple.
Big thanks to my videographer and editor Leo for that. He’s a legend
Yes I absolutely agree, the swing with driver must be really easy.
👌
Simple and powerful imagery which is easy to conceptualize and implement. Master teacher.
Thank you Kenneth 😁
You keep things so simple! I'm learning so much. You really are the best UA-cam golf guy
Thank you appreciate the support 😁
Nice piece of coaching Danny . That's an easy guide to develope a pretty decent driver swing. Thanks buddy
Pleasure Rob, all the best
@Danny Maude I'd love some one on one coaching if I ever win lotto I'm coming home to England and calling in to say hi. But for now keep up the great content
Danny I tried that yesterday and for some reason it took me 6 holes to make the adjustments. Then again, you do that at the practice area not during actual play. However, three things occurred that came to mind; 1. Keep it simple stupid! Imagine during a round I am cursing at myself. 2. My stance was past my shoulder, so when I dip my right shoulder, I was hooking the ball like crazy. Once I found the right width, "bingo"! 3. I tried swinging as hard as I could. Wrong approach. I only have now a 85-88 MPH speed, but man once I combined your instruction, plus the other 2 adjustments I mention here, and relax the shoulder, I was shocked once again that I actually increased an additional 15 yards maybe 20. So I went from a 220 yds drive to 235 maybe 240, made my life so much easier approaching the green for my second shot. But at 70 I tend to drift off occasionally and not keep that concentration. That is also the hardest part of the game. Thank you. Oh yes I did score an 84. Not great! But it is what it is.
Danny yet again I love the way you break it down,your videos really help and give me something to work with 👌🏻 I watch every week with my son he loves his golf which is good for me because I get some quality time with him❤️
About him he is 11 and worked his way to a 23 h’cap (mens tee) but grown up with a big swaying motion yes it’s worked for him until now but does tend to hit before the ball a lot hopefully this video helps 🤞🏻many thanks
I love playing golf with my Dad
Get him to start with 60% of his weight on his left side and create a centred pivot. It will help
@@DanielMaude thank you Danny we work on that 👍🏻 keep up the great work 👌🏻
@@DanielMaude ❤️
Good one again Danny. Just moved house so painting and repairs needed to be sorted out. Back to the course this week so thanks for the driver lesson as I am sure to be a little rusty.
You can now practice your golf swing while you paint now Chris
This one really seems to be working for me Danny. Thanks lad.
Good to hear Graham 😁👌
I have had few driver lessons but it seems way better tips step by steps thank you Danny.
Pleasure Hira
That is the best explanation of the head tilt I have ever seen. Thanks!
Thanks Jim 😁
Hi Danny; this is the issue I have with UA-cam golf university. Many things we are told, even if correct are misinterpreted, especially by beginners & high handicappers. There's 1 thing I have yet to see from a teacher, UA-cam or in a live lesson with a pro. No one talks about what will truly give you more turn & a larger arc & that's stretching on a daily basis & not only before you play or practice. It only takes a few minutes per day so everyone has the time to improve their range of motion & more importantly, protect your back from injury. Could you please include this in 1 of your videos as I believe everyone will benefit from it if they're willing to do it on a daily basis. Thanks for the videos & keep up the good work!
Glad they are helping Mike 👍
You are the man Danny. You explain it so well and beautifully simple. Best instruction on youtube, great job brother.
Really kind thank you
Just discovered this. A brilliant explanation of the driver swing. Love this - thanks Danny
Thanks David 👍
A simple thought for this, right shoulder up and back and down and around. I like to visualize a wall right next to the left side of my head, that Im trying to touch with my right shoulder during my backswing.
The movement of your right shoulder is incredibly important to the swing, as it promotes a steep backswing, proper weight shift, side tilt, naturally shallows the club on your downswing, and makes up for the distance in height between the club and ground caused by wrist extension.
Can you make a video on shank fixes? I have watched many on youtube but none of them seem to consistently work. I think it will benefit a lot of people, especially with the type of natural and intuitive teaching method that you use!!
Of course Brian
I really like the idea of "splashing the paint," can't wait to try it out! Thanks!
Another great lesson Danny, thank you. I've been working on getting my backswing more in line with my shoulder line. My swing tended to be much flatter around the body. My driving is much improved. I can't endorse the splaying of the feet enough either. It's so helpful for turning the upper body. Thanks again for the great content. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much for the feedback David, all the best
This was super helpful! I’m a 10 handicap weekend hacker, used to play all the time but only get out once or twice a week now and don’t practice much. I have a tendency to turn with my arms only and this results in snap hook after snap hook. Watched this video today and just shot 81! Not a single snap hook in 18 holes. This is super easy to follow and understand…what a difference the little tweaks can make…
Well done 👍 thanks for taking the time to give feedback 😁
Danny, besides the instruction, I really like your positive and cheerful demeanor. A lot of golfers tend to be a grumpy lot, I've noticed. Cheers.
Thank you Danny 😁
You’re the best in the business. Appreciate all the tips you post they are very beneficial!
Thank you Mooke 😁
