Here's this weeks practice plan. The Full Step BY Step Guide You Can Take to the Course 👇www.dannymaude.com/practice-plans-detail?productId=what-nobody-tells-you-about-how-to-strike-your-irons&widget=hidden
This has to be the best iron lesson I've ever seen. It seems to answer most of my iron striking issues, and I can't wait to try what you're suggesting. Thanks Danny.
🤣🤣🤣🤣i quote lines from that movie when playing even when my dads driving.... "your going to miss this putt ya jack@$$" 😂. Little Brother asked how to do something in the swing the other day and i hit him with the its all in the hips. 😂😂😂 If you're wondering if i walked up behind him you bet your az i did😂😂😂
What’s so great, Danny, is that you care more about teaching, helping, encouraging than the sport itself. You see your role as a minister of golf, helping all those under your care! I’m blessed to consider myself one of them! Cheers! - Jim
I am 78 and I love your tips on a Saturday. Little by little I am beginning to understand the mechanics of the game. Wish I had seen you 50 years ago. But I now feel all is not lost. Thanks for your generosity.
I am somewhat speechless at this video. I don’t think anyone should strike an iron until they’ve watched this. That’s not a joke. I don’t think many people understand why they should be doing this, adjusting that and anything else they’re taught to do. This is the clearest explanation to every question you could possibly have for the ‘why’. I cleaned up my iron shots on the range today because of this video, I’ve been playing 20 years and play off 8. Incredible video, thank you.
Playing 18 holes today with a friend who was consistently taking a divot before hitting the ball. I tried to tell her, hit the ball first then take the divot. (Something I learnt from watching your videos!) She is new to golf but hits a mighty big ball already. This video will be a huge help for her so I am sharing it with her. Love your videos Danny. I am playing my best golf now at 83 than I did 30 years ago! Thanks to your hints.
Danny, I took this lesson to the driving range last week. I played 3 days in a row. I increased my GIR’s by 50%. Shooting 80, 81 and 79- Thank you! Keep the videos coming.
Thank you, Danny, for your clear, concise way of communicating swing fundamentals. Over the years, after reading every magazine, book and video that I could get my hands on, I realized that I was suffering from golf information overload! I have eliminated all but your very easy to understand and follow videos. So I thank you sir.
Danny, at 70 years old I have had striking cleanly problems for years on a consistent basis. After watching this video from you two times, I took your tip of moving my center sternum set up three golf balls ( before I set my feet space) to the left of the ball placement. Which invariably followed your line up with the left shoulder. I have not been to the range yet, but I do have a practice net outside that I went to right away while all was fresh in my mind. Wow, had consistent strikes like never before when I practiced my golf swing rhythm and follow through, my God thank you so much! I have been watching you all winter among two other tube instructors I find helpful, you have been the best for me with your down to earth delivery of your tips! Love the times you include your Father as he’s in my age group, thank him for me please. Thank you for understanding Seniors on a fixed retirement income can’t always afford professional lessons, I can’t thank you enough for all your video’s offered to us invisible people who can’t!!! Bless you!
I was toppling the ball with my irons & hybrids. Watched your video. Went to the range yesterday. Fantastic results!! I am going to the range today to reinforce the 3 step process. Thank you Danny!! Leon Plymouth, Michigan
This is the best video I’ve seen on how to hit an iron. I’ve probably had 20 hours of lessons in the past 4 months and learned more watching this video for 14 minutes!!!! Excellent video
Dude. You're amazing! Truly. Some of us do better when we learn the "why" behind various lessons/drills given to us. Thank you for being THAT type of instructor. Your style and approach are EXACTLY what we need more of. Please keep up the good work. Where are you and are you available for private instruction?
Finding you has been the best eye opening and logical thinking about striking a golf ball the proper way. You are absolutely correct when you say that “ nobody tells you these things”. So happy and grateful that you have taken the time to explain ( better than anyone in my 57 years) in great detail ,that any golfer of any level can understand, how to drill and practice and bring what you teach right out to the course and see amazing results. Thanks SO much! Greatly appreciate you!!!
This is OUTSTANDING, Danny! We've just made it through a long winter here in the NE of the USA. I knew my club impact was off but I attributed the decline in distance to the cold weather. This video so well outlines the swing geometry (as you said). I will most definitely try this. Well done and Bravo!
What I really like about Danny's teaching is that he connects the mechanics to the feel of the shot .... also explaining what's going on so you get the whole picture, the flow of it.
I broke 80 for the first time in years thanks to you. The friends i was playing with were amazed at the distance and control i was getting. Not to mention the chipping around the green. I sent them some key video's you helped me immensely with and hope they stick with it! These playlists are priceless!
Great video Danny. Really explains the geometry well. I particularly liked the fluidity movements. It creates a strong mental picture and is something my swing needs. Will try it out and will also watch the driver video.
Danny, I just turned 60, long time viewer of your channel. My golf game was falling apart last year and I signed up for usage of a Trackman locally for several sessions last month. I was making some progress, but I just put together 4 or 5 of your videos that seem to diagnose my issues last week. I applied your tutelage to today's session and it was absolutely AWESOME. My club head speed jumped 10 mph with the same or less effort, my carry yardages have increased on average 10-15 yds and that was only in just ONE session. Next few sessions I will try to gel the new concepts to be more consistent, and I really believe there is still yet some more yardage to be gained. If I had the chance I would buy you to dinner, full spread lol. Thank you SO much for restoring my golf game. I cant wait until May when I can take this to the course.
Danny, I've struggled to get to my left side for years. YEARS! Your lesson here gives me the mindset to accomplish the mission. I can't wait to try it, and I will focus on getting this into my game. Thanks!
You are a great teacher Danny, I love the fact that we should know why we hit bad shots. I’ve stopped shanking thanks to you, but if it’s a close shank, I know why. I’m a very happy golfer again. Cheers pal 👍🏌️♂️🥳👏
Lord! I have learned more from your videos and the easy understandable instructions than I have ever learned from anyone else. I'm 75 and shot low to mid 80's. With your instructions and my application of such, I feel certain I'll be breaking 80 once again! Many thanks. Do you ever get stateside and into Pinehurst in particular? I would be a student for sure.
Hi Danny. You always have great ways of explaining and simplifying difficult moves to make them easy to understand. Thank you so much for your wonderful lesson and cannot wait to try them on the range! 👍 👍
Had a lesson with my coach yesterday on exactly this. I was delivery 35 degrees of loft with my 7 iron and this movement alone got me compressing the ball and delivery around 22 degrees of loft. Great content, up there with the best on youtube!!
Thanks Danny , look forward to your weekly videos . I’ve always struggled with weight transfer and swing very ‘ armsie ‘ this tip will bound to help me . Have a great week
I take weekly lessons with a teacher at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton,, Florida, USA. I think he is a fabulous teacher. He focuses a lot on the path of my club. I find your videos exceptional. They compliment and/or reinforce his teaching progression. I have stopped watching any other teaching videos. You are an incredibly great addition to my live lessons and I just wanted to thank you. You make it very clear to understand and helping my progress greatly. Cheers!!!
What I've been doing lately is lining the club face up to the ball during my setup then bringing it back so my hands are over the ball and my club face is at the right angle behind it. Can't believe you how much this is improved my accuracy and distance. Mo Norman has been right all along
Danny, once again an excellent video. Will take your advise to the range tomorrow. Everything you explain makes so much sense. I wonder why not every good teacher can't explain it like you ;-). And I thought I have had some excellent teaching pros so far.
Just got back into golf after the clubs being in the loft for 3 years , your teaching videos are awesome keep up the great work ,very clear and concise
I've recently subscribe. The best golf lessons/tips on UA-cam! I've watched a ton of your videos and get something from every one of them. The video on "why 90% of golfers can't strike their irons" was magical. That short (but highly effective) video did wonders for me. Thanks Danny for your efforts here to help the mere mortals! :D
Honestly your explanations are so great and exactly the info one needs to tweak their swing. I’ve always had a slight fade and hit the ball way too high because I get flippy through impact. After listening to your videos on swing geometry and mechanics I am now hitting a low boring ball (pro ideal launch angles) that starts slightly right and draws. I can’t thank you enough
Thank you Danny, great video as always. I am one of those, that hit the ground first with a tendency to slice. I am trying for ages to shift my low point to after impact. I will certainly implement your advice from today.
Danny, Quite honestly, my ball striking has improved more since I began watching your videos than it has in the 25+ years I've been playing the game. I am a senior now and find your techniques work for this tired, less than flexible, body very well. I have developed a confidence standing over the ball which I never had until I began implementing your techniques. Thank You Danny.
Another really helpful, easy to understand and seems fairly straightforward to apply. I'm already benefitting from the same logic with my driver, can't wait to try this. Really hope you get to the 1m subscribers, Danny, you deserve it and whatever comes with it.
Danny I’ve been working on rhythm recently and your videos have been a great help I’m a senior golfer 26 handicap! today at the driving range I added extension and wow not only a better strike but massively improved accuracy with irons and hybrids I found it somewhat more difficult with driver but will continue to persevere! Thank you!
Danny is simply the best. Headed directly to the driving range to try this and a couple other "Danny drills". Ive been playing for a little more than a year now, and Danny has easily taken 10-15 strokes off my game without any hands-on lessons. I will be shooting low 80's next year. Thanks Danny!
Thank you Danny! I've golfed for 50 years and have gone from a 3-4 handicap to 18 and I couldn't put a finger on what was happening in my swing. Of course age is a factor, but still at 75 fairly flexible. I believe after watching this lesson I have gotten a bit lazy and drifted from the finer points in my swing. With this reminder I will start working on full turn and elevating to complete the swing. Momentum is there just need to finish. Thank you for all of your guidance!
Ive only recently come to your channel. You explain in simple terms and thats a huge difference for me. I'm a 15, just had knee replacement surgery and am aiming to be a 10 by summer. I'm 70 and your channel is now the only one I watch. Thanks!
I have watched your lessons for years but had not seen this one. Has to be the best break-down/combination of sequences that I've seen. Now I need to go out and practice. Thanks!!
The visual effects of the moving of the arc and the concept of striking the ball earlier on a downward path slightly right of the target path is brilliant! As Spring begins all of us trying to improve need to embrace these three concepts! Great stuff as usual. You are the best out there when it comes to understanding the fundamentals of golf! Thank you!
Finally, someone is talking about the geometry of golf! This all makes sense and explains why you are fighting your swing. I used the driving version yesterday and hit 12 out of 14 fairways. Can’t wait to try this set-up.
You are simply the best instructor out there! Seeing how you swung and adjusted using only the tips of your fingers to hold the club is incredible. Thank you. I'm off to the range now to fix my lack of extension.
I just saved this video to my phone because I believe it will help me get where I want to be. I'm right there, close to great ball striking. Thanks Danny, for all the great tips and information.
Just implement everything in this video and just finished playing my best round of golf ever. My irons were dead straight next is to work in my driver stance . So glad I found you on UA-cam and thx for helping make golf fun again
Hi Danny I just started learning golf for about 3 weeks and definitely got hooked. I want to say that your videos have been helping me a lot, and I can't wait to see myself improving after following your lessons. Thanks a lot
I quit golf 7 years ago mostly due to work commitments, I had my first-round last week after taking the plunge to start playing again, and not going to lie these tutorials made such a huge difference to how i used to strike a ball. Considering it had been years since hitting a ball, I could already notice the improvement in my swing and connection with the ball. Definitely going to take more time studying with your content and hopefully keep seeing improvements. Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos.
Another brilliant video, Danny. I've been thinning my irons lately and couldn't figure out why. Watched your video this morning, followed by a round in the afternoon. Went through the 3 stages for each shot and never hit them any cleaner. It was such a joy. Thank you so much.
I have been making all the mistakes you are talking about; this makes a lot of sense. First, I need to focus on bottoming out after the ball implementing your lesson. Also, the ball direction. There is a lot to unpack here.
Nobody told me but I was a voracious reader of golf instruction books. Nicklaus taught me how to shape shots both ways in Golf My Way in the mid-80s and you explain HOW to do it even better 👍 But what really helped my understanding WHY it works. Nicklaus used the analogy of the swipe across the ball vs dead straight strike tilting the backswing axis like a banking airplane wing and explained the point of doing it on approach shots was to control the direction the ball goes after landing. Nothing is more fun than hitting a ‘hard’ fade with a 60° wedge landing it on the left edge of the green and see it zip sideways to the right via the slice spin. 😊
Perfect instructions! It really helps to understand what is happening during the swing and the impact on the ball. Just tried it and it works. Thank you!
This is the most informative irons lesson I've ever seen. Long irons especially have been a fight for me my whole life. I've only sometimes taken divots and have picked the ball, creatin g a higher & shorter flight. Definitely some adjustments to try!
Best description yet Danny. I watch Mike Milaska, Me and my golf, and you and still think you have the best way of articulating what the body is supposed to do. Now if I could actually replicate your lessons I will be set!
Danny I want to thank you! I can actually comprehend things A LOT easier by the way you break things down. Just when I was at the peak of my game 7 years ago I had shoulder surgery and gave up the game. I am just now getting back into it to find disappoint because I am basically starting from day 1. Thank you! New subscriber here!!
Hi Danny your arc is so nature that I focus my attention to your trail arm on how you keep it tight to your body and with that upward pivot in your swing you make it effortless. I am trying to produce your swing every day in my back yard. When I go to the range it works but when I play a round I lose focus during the 18 holes. my goal is to break 100. Danny you have been very helpful thank you.
I wish you were local for lessons, you make golf mechanics and teaching so simple instead of complex and confusing! May you have many more decades of success 👊🏽
@@DanielMaude roger that sir. I’ve got a golf simulator setup in my garage so I’m trying everything I can before my third year of golf starts in a few weeks. I use the Garmin R10 just for some data parameters, and I’m trying different ball positioning for better compression. Your videos help out more than I can ever tell you!🙌🏽
You know what I did to start hitting my irons crispy? I've love all your tips and have tried so many of them. This will be my 3rd summer of playing. Now I did play when I was young but that was about 20 years ago. I've been shooting under 90 but over 80 pretty consistently until this year. Most of my score was terrible putting 3 putting alot. A week ago I changed my putter grip for the third time. (Cross handed then claw now left hand on the grip with the right hand over it with my index finger only on the grip with my right hand) that helped me shave 3 or 4 shots. But the big change was pressing my hands about 2 balls past the ball with my irons. In the last week I've shot 76 twice and today on the back 9 i was 2 under until 17 where I couldn't find my drive. I took a 6 but still made par on 18 to shoot even on the back. I don't know why this made such a huge difference but I'm hitting my irons about a club and ½ further. I went from worrying about shooting over 90 to thinking I just might be able to shoot under par by the end of summer maybe. 1 week this has happened. I'm on cloud 9 right now. I'm going to play tomorrow..... I'll most likely shoot 87 because I bragged about this. But I'm excited and don't really have friends to tell. So I'm telling you. Thank you for all your tips and videos.
@@DanielMaude Thank you again. And today I had no 3 putts while playing. Even tho I felt like I wasn't playing that good I still shot 81 and that's great.
Danny, this is an excellent explanation of how to strike irons. It explains in simple terms the physics of ball flight. All golfers need to know the laws of ball flight to determine what they did in each swing. Cheers.
I just had my second round back after a 13 year break to golf and saw this video this morning. I honestly couldn't believe the connection that I was getting, it was crisp and clean with clubs that were 13 years old and have started rusting! Danny you are an absolute genius when it comes to teaching golf! What I did find on the course though was that I was chunking the majority of my shots, any initial advice on how I could stop that at all?
Played Golf today and my irons have felt off completely loss of distance and consistency I watched two videos and my swing feels way more natural and consistent thank you !
This film solves a lot of questions about how to strike the ball. So for me it is clear what I'm doing wrong, but having said that, it will take a lot of exercise to get this in my ballstriking. Thank yoy for this lesson!
Just started golf a few weeks ago and you’re channel has been so helpful, I feel like this video has given me the last thing I need to get a really nice swing. That flow and shift of momentum from right to left. Subscribed!
Danny, you are my sole source of training online for my now, 3 year odyssey to learn golf well enough to golf with son...its a process and have always treated like that...felt like it culminated last Sunday; son and I on a par 3 course - flushed a gap wedge to 90 yrds pin high with a 1 hop, hole in one; thanks.
Dynamics of the golf swing. Absolutely correct. You touched on the follow through with the swing motion finishing upwards, something I have been conscious of and working on. I call it pumping out he chest. All professional golfers do this and the action is so fluid. Thanks Danny for your great insight. By far the best explanation and demonstration. Take care
Thanks Danny! My iron play has been off lately. I watched one of your iron videos yesterday, went to the range and it improved. This video will also be beneficial for improving my iron play!! Thank you!
Danny, been watching your channel now for over a year and I have to thank you as my ball striking with irons has improved dramatically. I was at a place where I could not get the club on the ball in any consistent manner. I was basically hitting the ball into the ground. Watching your instruction helped transform my understanding of swing mechanics, and now I regularly launch my irons into the air quite nicely. I still hit iron shots a bit fat at times, and that is frustrating, but what is more frustrating is preparing to play a 120 yard approach shot, setting my grip and alignment only to catch it thin and see the ball scamper 80 yards down the fairway, never getting 6 feet off the ground. So I see a challenge in trying to incorporate Step 3 into my swing. I feel compelled to “stay down”. Any suggestions you might have in helping to overcome this challenge are appreciated (I know, practice!).

The video on "why 90% of golfers can't strike their irons" was magical. That short (but highly effective) video did wonders for me. Thanks Danny for your efforts here to help the mere mortals! :D
Really kind of you Daniel thank you
Honestly your explanations are so great and exactly the info one needs to tweak their swing. I’ve always had a slight fade and hit the ball way too high because I get flippy through impact. After listening to your videos on swing geometry and mechanics I am now hitting a low boring ball (pro ideal launch angles) that starts slightly right and draws. I can’t thank you enough
Amazing to hear Rhys well done
Thank you Danny, great video as always. I am one of those, that hit the ground first with a tendency to slice. I am trying for ages to shift my low point to after impact. I will certainly implement your advice from today.
Love to hear how you get on
Danny, Quite honestly, my ball striking has improved more since I began watching your videos than it has in the 25+ years I've been playing the game. I am a senior now and find your techniques work for this tired, less than flexible, body very well. I have developed a confidence standing over the ball which I never had until I began implementing your techniques. Thank You Danny.
Another really helpful, easy to understand and seems fairly straightforward to apply. I'm already benefitting from the same logic with my driver, can't wait to try this.
Really hope you get to the 1m subscribers, Danny, you deserve it and whatever comes with it.
Thank you Paul very kind 😁
Danny I’ve been working on rhythm recently and your videos have been a great help I’m a senior golfer 26 handicap! today at the driving range I added extension and wow not only a better strike but massively improved accuracy with irons and hybrids I found it somewhat more difficult with driver but will continue to persevere! Thank you!
Love watching you explain the machines of the golf swing, I'm sure you have helped lots of golfers
One of the best video explanations of iron striking I have seen!
Love to hear how you get on
Danny is simply the best. Headed directly to the driving range to try this and a couple other "Danny drills". Ive been playing for a little more than a year now, and Danny has easily taken 10-15 strokes off my game without any hands-on lessons. I will be shooting low 80's next year. Thanks Danny!
Love how this fully describes the 'why' and not just the 'how'. Great teaching.
Thank you!
i have to say this is the most sensible explanation of the geometry of the swing, well done Danny 👏🏽
Really kind of you to say Ikoala
Thank you Danny! I've golfed for 50 years and have gone from a 3-4 handicap to 18 and I couldn't put a finger on what was happening in my swing. Of course age is a factor, but still at 75 fairly flexible. I believe after watching this lesson I have gotten a bit lazy and drifted from the finer points in my swing. With this reminder I will start working on full turn and elevating to complete the swing. Momentum is there just need to finish. Thank you for all of your guidance!
Simplicity is the soul of great teaching, along with keeping it interesting and positive. You have all of that and more, Mr. Maude. Thanks!
Ive only recently come to your channel. You explain in simple terms and thats a huge difference for me. I'm a 15, just had knee replacement surgery and am aiming to be a 10 by summer. I'm 70 and your channel is now the only one I watch. Thanks!
Thanks Rick happy to help 😁👍
my mind is blown seriously spent a fortune on lessons and never heard most of this. The geometry is so easy for me to understand
I have watched your lessons for years but had not seen this one. Has to be the best break-down/combination of sequences that I've seen. Now I need to go out and practice. Thanks!!
The visual effects of the moving of the arc and the concept of striking the ball earlier on a downward path slightly right of the target path is brilliant! As Spring begins all of us trying to improve need to embrace these three concepts! Great stuff as usual. You are the best out there when it comes to understanding the fundamentals of golf! Thank you!
Thanks Michael appreciate the support 😁
The swing arc and alignment stick visual aids are so helpful! Thank you!
Pleasure, really happy to help
Great lesson Danny! Your communication skills make it very easy to follow what you're teaching. You're making golf more fun!
Super kind thank you
Been playing for 20 years and never learned and improved as much as in the past 6 months watching Danny. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Happy to help 😁
Finally, someone is talking about the geometry of golf! This all makes sense and explains why you are fighting your swing. I used the driving version yesterday and hit 12 out of 14 fairways. Can’t wait to try this set-up.
Well done Phillip 👍
Thank you Danny. Look forward to a round of golf I@ the Marriott Hanbury in April.
Have fun John
Thanks to your videos, I am now hitting my Irons 100% better as a beginner golfer.
That’s great to hear well done
You are simply the best instructor out there! Seeing how you swung and adjusted using only the tips of your fingers to hold the club is incredible. Thank you. I'm off to the range now to fix my lack of extension.
I just saved this video to my phone because I believe it will help me get where I want to be. I'm right there, close to great ball striking. Thanks Danny, for all the great tips and information.
Love to hear how you get on
Just implement everything in this video and just finished playing my best round of golf ever.
My irons were dead straight next is to work in my driver stance .
So glad I found you on UA-cam and thx for helping make golf fun again
Well done thanks for the feedback!
Danny I am from Australia but your tuition on golf is amazing, keep the good work up.i have told heaps of people to watch cheers paddy
Thanks so much for the support Paddy
Hi Danny I just started learning golf for about 3 weeks and definitely got hooked. I want to say that your videos have been helping me a lot, and I can't wait to see myself improving after following your lessons. Thanks a lot
I quit golf 7 years ago mostly due to work commitments, I had my first-round last week after taking the plunge to start playing again, and not going to lie these tutorials made such a huge difference to how i used to strike a ball. Considering it had been years since hitting a ball, I could already notice the improvement in my swing and connection with the ball. Definitely going to take more time studying with your content and hopefully keep seeing improvements. Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos.
Thanks Keira 😁 happy to help
Went out and shot +6 this morning. Great tips, particularly ball position.
Another brilliant video, Danny. I've been thinning my irons lately and couldn't figure out why. Watched your video this morning, followed by a round in the afternoon. Went through the 3 stages for each shot and never hit them any cleaner. It was such a joy.
Thank you so much.
I have been making all the mistakes you are talking about; this makes a lot of sense. First, I need to focus on bottoming out after the ball implementing your lesson. Also, the ball direction. There is a lot to unpack here.
The way you explain is amazing really helped massively
Great instruction on the Geometry of the golf swing and insight on hitting a straight iron shot, great video.
Thanks Hugo, all the best
Nobody told me but I was a voracious reader of golf instruction books. Nicklaus taught me how to shape shots both ways in Golf My Way in the mid-80s and you explain HOW to do it even better 👍
But what really helped my understanding WHY it works. Nicklaus used the analogy of the swipe across the ball vs dead straight strike tilting the backswing axis like a banking airplane wing and explained the point of doing it on approach shots was to control the direction the ball goes after landing. Nothing is more fun than hitting a ‘hard’ fade with a 60° wedge landing it on the left edge of the green and see it zip sideways to the right via the slice spin. 😊
Perfect instructions! It really helps to understand what is happening during the swing and the impact on the ball. Just tried it and it works. Thank you!
This is addressing all my issues. Best thing is its explained how to ‘feel’ what your doing.
This is the most informative irons lesson I've ever seen. Long irons especially have been a fight for me my whole life. I've only sometimes taken divots and have picked the ball, creatin g a higher & shorter flight. Definitely some adjustments to try!
Love to hear how you get on
Best description yet Danny. I watch Mike Milaska, Me and my golf, and you and still think you have the best way of articulating what the body is supposed to do. Now if I could actually replicate your lessons I will be set!
Thank you Paul appreciate the support 😁👍
What a great description of what a swing should be and why.
Thanks so much Ken
Explaining the swing geometry really helps me to better understand what I "should" be doing versus what I "am" doing...Thanks a bunch!!
Great video. Loved the logic of the swing. Will try it in the course asap.
Glad you enjoyed it, love to hear how it goes
Danny I want to thank you! I can actually comprehend things A LOT easier by the way you break things down. Just when I was at the peak of my game 7 years ago I had shoulder surgery and gave up the game. I am just now getting back into it to find disappoint because I am basically starting from day 1. Thank you! New subscriber here!!
This is the key. Take this lesson to heart and get ready for the stripe show. 😊
Really hope so
Excellent video Danny
Thank you Trevor!
Hi Danny
your arc is so nature that I focus my attention to your trail arm on how you keep it tight to your body and with that upward pivot in your swing you make it effortless. I am trying to produce your swing every day in my back yard. When I go to the range it works but when I play a round I lose focus during the 18 holes. my goal is to break 100. Danny you have been very helpful thank you.
I wish you were local for lessons, you make golf mechanics and teaching so simple instead of complex and confusing! May you have many more decades of success 👊🏽
Thank you very kind 😁
@@DanielMaude roger that sir. I’ve got a golf simulator setup in my garage so I’m trying everything I can before my third year of golf starts in a few weeks. I use the Garmin R10 just for some data parameters, and I’m trying different ball positioning for better compression. Your videos help out more than I can ever tell you!🙌🏽
You know what I did to start hitting my irons crispy? I've love all your tips and have tried so many of them. This will be my 3rd summer of playing. Now I did play when I was young but that was about 20 years ago. I've been shooting under 90 but over 80 pretty consistently until this year. Most of my score was terrible putting 3 putting alot. A week ago I changed my putter grip for the third time. (Cross handed then claw now left hand on the grip with the right hand over it with my index finger only on the grip with my right hand) that helped me shave 3 or 4 shots. But the big change was pressing my hands about 2 balls past the ball with my irons. In the last week I've shot 76 twice and today on the back 9 i was 2 under until 17 where I couldn't find my drive. I took a 6 but still made par on 18 to shoot even on the back. I don't know why this made such a huge difference but I'm hitting my irons about a club and ½ further. I went from worrying about shooting over 90 to thinking I just might be able to shoot under par by the end of summer maybe. 1 week this has happened. I'm on cloud 9 right now. I'm going to play tomorrow..... I'll most likely shoot 87 because I bragged about this. But I'm excited and don't really have friends to tell. So I'm telling you. Thank you for all your tips and videos.
That’s awesome to hear, well done 👏
@@DanielMaude Thank you again. And today I had no 3 putts while playing. Even tho I felt like I wasn't playing that good I still shot 81 and that's great.
Danny, this is an excellent explanation of how to strike irons. It explains in simple terms the physics of ball flight. All golfers need to know the laws of ball flight to determine what they did in each swing. Cheers.
So true, I wish more golfers would start at impact when deciding what to fix in their swing
Great way to describe how to hit the irons consistently! Thanks for your excellent and consistent instructions...
Really happy to help Mike
I just had my second round back after a 13 year break to golf and saw this video this morning. I honestly couldn't believe the connection that I was getting, it was crisp and clean with clubs that were 13 years old and have started rusting! Danny you are an absolute genius when it comes to teaching golf! What I did find on the course though was that I was chunking the majority of my shots, any initial advice on how I could stop that at all?
Danny, your like the Bob Ross of golf instruction, love it
Thanks for the feedback Ryan
Played Golf today and my irons have felt off completely loss of distance and consistency I watched two videos and my swing feels way more natural and consistent thank you !
Love how you explain and demonstrate the movements needed to hit your irons properly, something i have always struggled with, thank you .
Pleasure Dean, all the best
This film solves a lot of questions about how to strike the ball. So for me it is clear what I'm doing wrong, but having said that, it will take a lot of exercise to get this in my ballstriking. Thank yoy for this lesson!
Really happy to help Tim
Thanks for the Lesson Danny.
Incredibly kind of you thank you
Just started golf a few weeks ago and you’re channel has been so helpful, I feel like this video has given me the last thing I need to get a really nice swing. That flow and shift of momentum from right to left. Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel 😁
Danny, this lesson was me all over! Fats, thins, flicks etc etc. Too stiff. Need to relax and add flow. Awesome awesome stuff.
Love to hear how you get on Chip
Danny, you are my sole source of training online for my now, 3 year odyssey to learn golf well enough to golf with son...its a process and have always treated like that...felt like it culminated last Sunday; son and I on a par 3 course - flushed a gap wedge to 90 yrds pin high with a 1 hop, hole in one; thanks.
Wow brilliant Scott! Well done ⛳️
Thank You for your golf instruction Danny. This video was a big help and helps me from coming over the top. Your are doing a GREAT JOB!!
Thanks so much John
Great explanation and lesson!!! Loved it!
Glad you liked it Ellen, love to hear how you get on
Definitely going to try this out on the driving range. Great explanation - very clear and simple. Thanks Danny.
Dynamics of the golf swing. Absolutely correct. You touched on the follow through with the swing motion finishing upwards, something I have been conscious of and working on. I call it pumping out he chest. All professional golfers do this and the action is so fluid. Thanks Danny for your great insight. By far the best explanation and demonstration. Take care
Thank you Matt 😁appreciate the support 👍
Your recent content has been top notch. Thanks, Danny!
That’s very kind thank you
Honestly been watching your videos since i went to the range for the first time since i was a kid and I’ve already learned so much from you. Top man 😎
Thanks Danny! My iron play has been off lately. I watched one of your iron videos yesterday, went to the range and it improved. This video will also be beneficial for improving my iron play!! Thank you!
Danny, been watching your channel now for over a year and I have to thank you as my ball striking with irons has improved dramatically. I was at a place where I could not get the club on the ball in any consistent manner. I was basically hitting the ball into the ground. Watching your instruction helped transform my understanding of swing mechanics, and now I regularly launch my irons into the air quite nicely.
I still hit iron shots a bit fat at times, and that is frustrating, but what is more frustrating is preparing to play a 120 yard approach shot, setting my grip and alignment only to catch it thin and see the ball scamper 80 yards down the fairway, never getting 6 feet off the ground. So I see a challenge in trying to incorporate Step 3 into my swing. I feel compelled to “stay down”. Any suggestions you might have in helping to overcome this challenge are appreciated (I know, practice!).
