TRAIL ELBOW LEADS THE WAY TO MORE DISTANCE IN THE GOLF SWING
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2019
- How does the trail elbow lead the way to more distance in the golf swing? How does the right elbow work in the downswing and the backswing in order to create better ball striking and additional power?
This has been a popular question on my golf videos. Their are a number of right elbow downswing drills here on UA-cam and I think this weeks golf tip is right up there as one of the most simplest and easiest to achieve a perfect impact position with the trail elbow flexed at impact.

ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On UA-cam and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

Great instructor stands out from most
Really appreciate you pointing out swing thoughts for a right handed person playing left. It is completely unnatural for me to throw anything with my left hand, but play left handed. I’m also one who gets tense through release, so it was helpful to hear your comments there
Danny I love the way you teach such natural, flowing movements. I've been trying to swing like this and have played cricket all my life so can't wait to try this throwing movement on the range.
Danny, I keep coming back to this video. And I think I can safely say that it's probably the single-most useful golf training vid I've ever seen. Like watching a movie you've seen before I keep picking critical bits of info from it that I missed before. Great job!
The feeling you get when you you have your trail elbow working this way is fantastic. Just turn and release. Sweet!
Danny, a good 'un! A great reminder to not fixate on the ball and the strike. Rather, to visualize the shape of the shot and the target down the fairway and swing through the ball with the bent arm throwing motion. How simple but profound. Thanks.
Newt Holloway the key is that you can already do this. It’s just a matter of learning to be aware of how you do it when you throw
I think this is one of the best golf lessons out there. Thank you Danny!
Any time I start trying to hit the ball as opposed to swinging through the ball I watch this video. Gets me back on track. Thanks Danny.
Awesome Bob, happy to help
Excellent drill to get the right feel for it! Have to try it out right away!
Only just watched this vid. Brilliant!!
Thanks Danny you've improved my game no end. I have told all my golf buddies about you, and they watch all you're vids now. Keep up the great work👍👍
This is an Excellent video explanation Danny of the role and function of the Trail Elbow and a Great Drill to train the correct move. When I took this idea to the course I just focused on 'keeping my trail elbow in front of my trail hip'. To start with it felt a bit awkward but as the round progressed it began to feel easier. However, the quality of my ball striking was taken to just another level, and one I hadn't experienced before. Drives going 280+, irons going easily two clubs further, making par 5's in two, it felt incredible. Thanks.
Thanks Danny, seems to make a much more freer type of swing. Will try it out on the range.
Danny, dead set, you think of everything. I’m a left hander playing right handed like so many others. Never before have I heard a golf coach include us. Thank you and well done.🙏
My pleasure, appreciate the feedback
This is an easy motion for a person who played baseball--especially an infielder who would have to use this motion for a throw to first or second base--or even home plate! The problem for a guy in my generation (old) is that the motion is seldom used during the aging process. My solution for the past four months is to do wrist curls with both hands (one at a time) every day with up to 25 pounds. It is amazing how strong I have gotten and am now able to perform this motion and most importantly, in my golf swing. Love these videos! As another person commented: "they are good but they require a great deal of practice!"
Arch Campbell thank you Arch, appreciate this feedback. I’ve got my dad who’s 72 currently working on the same thing.
@@DanielMaude Your dad and I are the same age. I am actually getting my game back little by little thanks to these videos! I hope to break 80 and then 75 this summer in Minnesota.
Arch Campbell lovely, look forward to following your progress
danny maude is the best of all golf instructors !
monroe stokvis wry kind of you to say, I know there are many great instructors out there...apologies for missing this comment
Another well explained video. To the point and logical. Always look forward to your instruction each Saturday. Love the fact you don’t just keep pumping them out. Brilliant site Danny.
mick19421 thanks Mick, I love the ones that show what’s possible for golfers...when golfers throw their body actions are amazing
Great video Danny! Glad you pointed out not trying to tuck your right elbow in unnaturally. I was about to start focusing on keeping that elbow in tight so you may have saved me some wasted time!
Revisiting, it keeps me on track cheers.
Excellent drill - I will be working on this for sure. Thanks for the great video.
I cannot tell you how helpful I have found your video instructions...I only wish I had received your instruction 20 years ago. Many thanks, Danny!
rockefeller55 never too late to get cracking with improvement...a👍💪
I absolutely love this video!! Finding your golf swing..Finding what gets in the way!!
Thanks for sharing Paul, one of my favourite ways to reveal how talented you actually are
Awesome! I have struggled to get hands "down" into impact, in the slot, elbow into body, ....blah blah blah. This is easy and makes sense! You nailed it.
Fantastic Danny, so simple to understand & such a logical way to explain a critical part of the down swing.
Thanks Tim
Tim Merrifield thanks for the feedback Tim, I really love this exercise
Danny pure genius! This is a natural golf swing, we are not programmed as humans to get the body of all the “positions” that most instructors want to teach, the human body is a wonderful machine that knows what to do if we let the central nervous system to operate. If we know the target the brain will automatically engage and the body will react naturally to the task, no need for swing thoughts crowding our mind. Thanks so much for great videos.
Take care.
Absolutely Greg, the key now is simply learning to operate the mind
Another easily explained I rather enjoying these top tips.
Hi Danny I have just watched this & my practice session is now throwing a ball for my daughters dog it’s a win win result as she keeps bringing it back & it’s going further every day. 👍
Brilliant, looking for a video to help me stop hooking left, and I’ve realised that is exactly what I’ve been doing wrong, cheers Danny you the man
Well explained Danny, the trail elbow is so key in the golf downswing. Getting it into the right position generates more speed and power and is often the difference between an average and better ball striker. Cheers
Hitting It Solid Golf thanks again, it should be something we do naturally but as you are probably aware many do not
Another simple but brilliant video from the best golf coach on UA-cam. Thanks Danny.
HKR Golf ahhh, just seen this Jonathan. Great to catch up today
Great video, really like how you make them simple and to the point, and easy to apply. Always look forward to seeing your videos, thanks.
Thank you Les, I like this one as it is pretty simple to apply
Hi Danny. Really appreciate the way you “dissect” different elements of the swing. Your use of reviewing and slow motion is extremely helpful. Cheers.
Torquay OilPaint great to hear you are enjoying the videos thanks for letting me know
Great one Danny. The simpler the better! Thanks for making things simple and comparing the swing to other actions which our body does naturally. Absolutely brilliant!
Ruud Schrijvers my pleasure Ruud, you’ve got this
Very well explained , Danny , Great job champ
Much appreciated Rick
Danny, One of the best videos on the golf swing I have ever seen. The simplicity of comparing a golf swing to slinging a rock across a pond is brilliant. Working on these concepts is quickly changing my golf swing to be more consistent and adding yards to my hits. Excellent thanks.
That’s brilliant Dave, thanks for taking the time to comment
Great video n brilliant lesson... I watched it a while ago...
I watched it again n marvel at this forgotten lesson!!!
Hi Francis, hope you and your wife are enjoying your golf
Brilliant. Will try it next time I go on the range.
Great video Danny last piece of the puzzle as i try to rebuild a bad golf swing. Thanks!
My pleasure Mike, hope it helps
Danny, I am a senior golfer (70). This is a great video to watch over and over. Really hits home for me in two areas. I am left handed and play right handed and I thought that I really had to bury my right arm into my right side. It never made since to me. This video along with the Helecopter and clubhead forward drills have helped me immensely. Your videos have become my primary source for golf instruction. Thank You.
My pleasure Doug, what handicap are you?
@@DanielMaude playing to a 15-16 after 20 years of not playing do to previous 30 year job and health issues. Have been retired for 5 years and am spending as much time playing as I can. We have group of retired guys called The C.B.G.A. ( "Cheaten Bastards Golf Association"). I do however, spend a lot of time watching your videos. Yours and C.R.'s are the only training videos that are not hitting the viewer up for $$$$. Thanks again for producing great videos.
Saturdays are always great, waking up to your videos. Thanks, Danny!
tim whitehead lovely to have you hear Tim...
Glad to be here. Your videos are the most helpful out of all the instructors I watch on UA-cam.
Yes Danny. I really enjoyed this one for your clarity, yet so simply explained. I love how you attempt to achieve great results with no expensive equipment, just basically explaining what needs to be done. Very creative, Sir, very much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for taking the time to comment
Great to hear a coach give a method for someone like me who throws right handed but plays golf left handed! Much appreciated of Herne Bay
My pleasure Barry, hope it helps your golf game
so good....watched it again. you put so much energy into your vids.
practiced today..sure makes a difference..i have many of the bad habits u mentioned in an effort to get the perfect swing ..u r a great teacher. thankyou
Very kind Barbara, lovely to have your support and feedback
Danny, great video! I'm a frequent viewer of your videos and they have really helped me. You are the only instructor I've found who talks to "the left-handler, playing right-handed", like me. Thanks!
You are very welcome David
Danny again a very good example of what the sequence is and how it should be natural.
jill barnes absolutely Jill, it’s more natural than golfers realise
Thank you Danny. You are such a good coach, with a great calm voice. You encourage all of us around the world. I wished you lived here in the States, specifically South Carolina and I would certainly take lessons in persin
Maybe one day, Bill
Simple easy precise thank you once again Danny
Charlie Brownless my pleasure Charlie, hope it helps
I really like how you explain and use terms and ideas that are easy to understand. Makes sense to me. Time to hit the range.
Thank you, love to hear how you get on
Another gem of a tip. Danny I find your videos absolutely hit the spot every time. The problems you describe are invariably the problems I struggle with, not sort of, exactly, so your solutions are always bang on the money. Great stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Iain Mackie thank you Iain, apologies for missing this comment
Another really helpful lesson Danny. Wish I lived nearer and could come and have a lesson with you. Many thanks.
Very kind Sue, if you do make the trip to Canterbury you won't be disappointed, beautiful place
Love the down range camera angle.
It’s clear to me that golf is all about “cause and effect” . All my golf lessons seem to be focused on effect and not cause.i.e. “You need to work on finishing your swing.” Well theres obviously many things I’m not doing that is preventing my finish. I.e not properly using my trail elbow?? The example you demo’d of how we don’t engage our elbow is exactly what I do!! But even that move is probably linked to my improper take away! Thanks for demonstrating cause and drills that help us comprehend what it should feel like!
iupab my pleasure, I look forward to following your progress
Quality Danny. Can't wait to try this in the morning to complement the improvement I've found using the catapult method.

hello Danny I hope you are well
reminds me of fielding a ball at fine leg boundary and flinging it back to the wicketkeeper
from South Africa
Great lesson thanks very much....... you are very good
Thanks again Danny, this lesson will help me
That’s great Robert, thanks for sharing
I watched this video last night and this morning was only 4 over par after 10 holes when thunder and lightning stopped play. I have watched some of Danny's other videos and found them extremely helpful in bringing much more consistency to my game, straighter penetrating irons and more effortless power with the driver. Key learning points for me were remaining behind the ball with the driver and more deliberate downward pressure on the irons. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for sharing your progress, happy to hear the videos are helping
Another great one to go with the frisbee video along with all of your teaching
1WEEBLE1 I love this one as I’m always amazed at how golfers bodies work so brilliantly in the throwing action
Awesome explanation. I have heard this all before but this is one of the best presentations of this info I've seen. Will return to it again ......thanks so much. No wonder you have so many thumbs up compared to thumbs down. How could anyone thumbs-down this? it's excellent!
Very kind of you to comment James. I hope the video helps your golf game
Great video Danny best tuition on you tube.
Garath Davis thank you Gareth, hope it’s helping
Danny, consider this. If you are a baseball pitcher throwing sidearm, your action would look like your trail arm in the downswing. BUT, if you were in left field throwing to home plate your arm action would be quite different. Your trail “throwing” arm would be just the opposite. Breaking the habits learned in the outfield are hard to break, but have to be learned to play good golf. I’m a big fan of your instructional videos.
I played my first 9 holes this year. The course was soggy and the greens slow and fuzzy but I drove the ball better than ever, my pitching was comfortable and I had more putts for par and birdie than ever this early on. I only had 2 bad holes but my confidence was over the moon. I wasn't real happy about my irons but this video will definitely help. These videos have changed my game so much thank you Danny. I've also told about 20 people about your videos and will tell more. As my game improves I'm sure they will tune in. Thank you gain.
Mike Hannon that’s very kind of you Mike, I really do appreciate all the support and comments
Excellent vid Danny
les roberts thanks Les, I like how this one you can use to self coach the golf swing
That is my only swing thought, took me along time to figure it out, countless lessons wasted trying to put myself in loads of wrong positions, this is the most natural a way of swinging the club, it really brings home the fact that the club is just an extension of the arm.
Always liked your vids and this one is a great one. keep up the good work Danny
Thank you, if you have any questions once you've tried it just drop us a comment here
I start every time now with this motion, whether on the driving range or the teebox. Works good to reset my senses. Thanks again Danny!
Brilliant Wim, I like to use it too when Im warming up
Danny another excellent imagery. You get me every time with identifying my problem! I release too early! I’ll be skimming stones down the beach this afternoon! Many thanks,great coach👍
michael kirkbright can’t tell you how much it can help you
Brilliant👍
Hi Danny , a great video and analogy in how to get that power from trail arm and what may be the cause of not letting it flow/throw freely in that motion. It made me think what may be my hold up in doing that as well in ,just letting that "throw go" in a relaxed full swing and through motion . It reminded me of another of your videos where i thought of the correlation in apprehension in the swing went hand in hand in what you mentioned in that video as well . The subject of your other video was "hitting ground behind the ball" and correcting that. You touched on one major thing for me that i think has the same reason that creates same problem for me here with trail elbow subject . NOT moving your head/eyes down and keeping so focused on hitting the ball /making contact, = head down , eye on the ball and not wanting to miss that shot that we just get into that overly rigid stiff swing with focus on 'keeping the eye on the ball " so much so, that it inhibits us from getting that power from the trail arm and a great free flowing follow through and that "PUNCH" POWER into the shot that you talk about here . The other video for folks who may not have seen it yet on how to stop hitting ground behind the ball (starting at spot where you discuss that over focus/ stiffness head down) ,creating that creates that stiff mechanical swing causing so many issues in getting stuck in this mode .
ua-cam.com/video/DHZ1zY612_M/v-deo.html For me that fault of getting so overly focused on keeping the eyes and head down on the ball can be a huge problem in many aspects of a good overall powerful swing. Just getting stuck in doing this and keeping the head eyes down in this manner can inhibit my swing in several ways, and definitely not getting this power throwing motion fits into that head down problem , i immediately recalled you discussing this exact problem in the other video and it just clicked !! Thanks for the pointers that will help correct the problem with this issue and achieve that power punch for distance and just "letting it go" !! Great info for me to help correct an issue i have in several area you discuss! !! Sean
2111 Corps really well put Sean, It sounds like you are really getting it and learning how you can let go and perform at your best
good stuff again Danny...
Danny you are top draw, you explain in such a way that keeps thing on a level that you can understand and then go implement...... I wished I lived closer I’d live to have some lessons from you 👍
Thanks for the feedback Elliot
Like the video Danny. I think it's really going make the swing more natural. Thank you.
I hope so Robert, simple is repeatable
Really good advice Danny, I recently came back around to Golf after giving up years ago out of sheer frustration with the swing mechanics and technique.
I just tried your tips there, and I immediately got the sensation of unlocking everything and opening up the swing.
Great stuff!
That’s great John 👍
Awesome concept!! Very easy to understand
Hope it helps your golf
Really enjoyed the vlog Danny mate ❤️.
William Parke that’s great William, this one can be a real game changer if you work with it over a period of time
Thx for the help! Went to the range to work on it and it really helps
R1ot Nova great to hear, thanks for sharing
Danny thank you so much for your video's
Pleasure Michael, happy to help
Another great lesson I’m off to practice my throwing. Will check in with you again once I’ve had a couple of rounds with my new found “power swing”
All the best
Trevor
Look forward to it Trevor
Great video and explanation of the trail elbow Danny. I got to ask about the Under Armour pullover you have on in the video. Could you share the color or name of it?
This makes loads of sense can’t wait to get out and try it have tried the chopping action with some success but I really fancy this one cheers Danny
I personally like this one as its a very natural action
Again great video, really encouraging thanks Dan
Thank you, love to hear how it helps your golf swing
Thanks Danny this will also help me from swinging over the top on downswing
Ray Hamilton it will indeed Ray, it’s almost impossible doing this
I love the way you describe and break down the golf swing.. I’ve been working on my swing all through winter and I’m still sometimes guilty of bringing my back elbow down in a singular movement rather than that smooth follow through you’ve just described..My game is good if not perfect but definitely going in the right direction 👍
Neil Marshall lovely to hear Neil, remember you can already bring the trail elbow in naturally it’s just a matter of discovering how you get in the way when the golf ball is there
Well done Danny. Million subscribers and I am sure there will be a lot more.
Danny, incredible explanation of how to implement "Proper Body movement" into the golf movement for better "natural flow." Thank you and keep up the great work!! 👍😎🚴♂️⛹️♀️🤸♂️
Thanks Clarence 😁
Instead of keeping the trail hand paralysed throughout the swing, I have been thinking it should be useful in some way or the other but I couldn't figure out how. Thank you Danny for pointing out exactly how to make use of the trail hand and that too in such a very easy-to-follow style of instruction. Ofline or online, you're my best golf coach.
Tribal Warlord very kind, it’s amazing how we can do so much of the things we strive for in the golf swing naturally
Hey Danny, thanks for covering the left handed guy play right handed golf. That’s me! Will try the chopping action later today as this is an issue I am working on in my swing right now. Cheers.
My pleasure Stuart, keep me posted
This lesson definitely applies to me Danny,where can I get one of those training clubs?
Thanks for this video Danny, as a left handed and left side dominant golfer swinging right handed the chopping the tree visualisation helps so it’s rotation/right elbow in/release all in one swing thought
you are very welcome Craig, happy to help
Excellent video, Danny. Thanks.
Thank you Robert
This is what I’m struggling for years. Thank you 🙏🏼
My pleasure Harrison, trust your natural instincts to hit a ball
Struggle no more and continue to activate your magic trail elbow on all your downswing; let your body respond naturally and simply swing the club with your arms. This is Moe Norman secret of greatness and it works no matter how you set up to a ball. Cheers
Inspirational Danny thank you.
Nigel Harding my pleasure Nigel
Great Video, Danny! I hit the ball so well when I do it correctly! Thanks!
My pleasure Greg, all the best
What a great explanation and image to have
John Rushton I personally love it because I know everyone can already do this
When it looks that simple, it gives me hope. 👍
Simple is repeatable Stephen
At 72 I can attest that It is that simple
Carelessness! This excellent advice could make a whole generation of golf instructors fear for their jobs.
Peter Pagel funny, thank you Peter
Anika Sorenstam, one of the best players to play the game was always looking at the target or target line at impact, i find i get better compression and AOA if i am at least starting to turn my head down the target line at impact, if i dont i get flippy and come up out of the shot, goats start to get worried etc.
Another crafted explanation and this appears also to greatly assist in getting the body moving from left to right many thanks for your videos Danny , cheers chris
dobro890 my pleasure Chris, look forward to hearing how you progress
Danny Maude will up date for sure also I requested a video lesson from the web site but no response is this up and running yet ? Or should I do agin through the web page cheers chris
dobro890 we’ve been inundated with requests which to be honest we weren’t prepared for...to keep the service level high I’m thinking of offering a monthly coaching fee where golfers can email unlimited videos so that I can support them over a month
Danny Maude many thank for the reply very much appreciated and I will wait for you final decision on the which you consider the best way forward for yourself and may your success continue cheers chris
Danny took this to the range omg unbelievable I just got to keep at it tidy few little things up but I see the difference straight away
David Bov that’s brilliant, thanks for letting me know
Supremely brilliant 👍👍👍
Many thanks Kevin, hope it helps get you a few more yards
This tip flows nicely from last week's frisbee video. Had a couof nine hole games after work during the week and im now playing under my handicap. Will add this to that and I'm confident i will get cut in next week's medal. Thx as always Danny
Julian Roberts well done Jullian, try to film yourself throwing as well, you will be amazed at what you can do
@@DanielMaude will give it a try Danny
Hey Danny, I just returned from Myrtle Beach Legends. Watched your video about using the catapult method of swinging and it made a world of difference for me. I wasnt even sore after 6 rounds in 4 days after a long winter break. Thanks for the video advice!
Randy McDonald great to hear Randy, well done...apologies for missing this comment
