Another great lesson Danny. Your session with Pete Cowen has undoubtedly influenced your own golf swing and, in turn, is affecting your teaching and we, as followers, are benefiting from this excellent, dynamic approach. Many thanks. Robbie
This video and your instruction allows me to feel like I was there with you taking a lesson. Then I read the comments from others and your kind responses. I think I write for many, thank you for sharing your expertise and encouraging us to get better in this most frustrating sport of golf. You give us hope and I can’t wait to try this swing and pressure with right hand at the practice range. Thank you Coach for all you do for your students, regardless of our age or ability. As I said, you give us hope and encouragement to improve our game.
Great lesson on the fine points of a shorter backswing. I’m 78 and finally gave up on swinging like I used to; it just doesn’t work anymore and it hurts besides. I’m finding that I can make a shorter swing (lead arm parallel to the ground) and hit the ball just as far with a much better quality of strike. Good stuff Danny; well done. 👍
Danny, This was a GREAT LESSON! I was at the driving range today working on improving my striking of the irons or compressing the ball. I hit some good ones, but was not consistent enough. I sat down on a bench at the back of the range and watch this video on my phone and experienced an AHA moment that I wanted to share with you and your subscribers. The drills you were teaching to your student George were the key. Focusing on pushing the HEEl of the hand down, but the most important tip was "hitting down and through (or around)"! But the key was connecting the right elbow in and using the right side of the body to push the heel down and through! I could not believe the compression that I was achieving first, but more importantly, the consistency of the strike. I found myself not having to use my arms, but more emphasis on using the right side of the body "to push down and through!" I went back and viewed your video titled "World's #1Coach Shares Right Arm Secrets with Me..." which I have watched many, many times and just could not understand how to turn the club face down on the ball with the forearm rotation. Well, the drills you gave your student George, made me understand it and IT WORKS! I used it with every one of my irons and it was magical and effortless! The feeling of compressing the ball is addicting. Use that right side of the body to push down and through the impact area!
Clearly Danny is the best ticket on UA-cam for lessons. Thanks so much. Your techniques are attainable for all of us. Nothing massive or complicated. Your proof is seen in consistently getter better contact with the strike. So simple. So one else teaches better.
The short swing has been working for me for a long time. Control and accuracy. Still trying to get to a comfortable longer swing without loosing accuracy. Good lesson Danny.
Really happy to see this iv just started put a few months ago iv got a dodgy back so don't get a full back swing at the minute but iv been playing well and good distance glad to know its not out of the ordinary 😂
Danny you're so right. My coach did it a bit different, he took me off the fairway into the woods like i hooked my tee shot, put me under a tree and had me punch out towards the green over and over. I couldn't believe how much better the contact and distance was, amazing. We haven't got to lengthening yet, I can't wait to see your follow up on lengthening the backswing. Thank you for posting this!
Your tutorials single-handedly got me into golf and caught me up with my friends who’ve been playing for years. I just bought some thrift store clubs and man am I glad I found you.
Fantastic tips!!! I have been following you for months, and by applying your advice my consistency and distance improvement in the game is more than remarkable. Thank you so much Danny!!!
Good lesson on the importance of getting a good rhythm in place. Been working on the shortened swing of late and this video ties in perfectly to that drill process. Been doing something similar but including an alignment rod to help get the club coming from the inside - takeaway over the rod, downswing under the rod.
You’re an amazing coach Danny Maude. Please keep up your good work in promoting your lessons. I’ve been watching your videos for a long while now and I’ve gotten better in my ball striking.
@francise4195 thank you so much for your comments. It really does me a lot. That’s great that my videos are helping striking the ball. Keep up the good work 😀
My go to guru. Been using this technique for a couple of years now and works great but you have to know your limits. If I try to hit the ball with a short back swing too hard or rush it through I will can open the face to a hard slice into oblivion. I also added a forward rocking motion prior to rocking back swing and its added some distance. Enjoy your vids Danny, thanks
Excellent video Danny on how you added yardage to your student George's swing! I have been using your suggested method of using the palm of the right hand to add distance to my driver and irons and it does work. Now, after viewing this video, I will up tempo my swing to possibly making my swing more effortless! Well Done Danny!
Danny, I have been working hard on your videos since Feb. This short swing video just clarified the downswing for me. Wow, just a fantastic session on the range. Thank you so much!
Danny, I mentioned before that I am right handed playing golf left handed. My right hand is dominant. In this video you mention that my dominant arm should lead the movement. This makes so much sense to me. I was struggling to generate much speed or power focusing on my left side.
New sub. Been playing golf for 15years and it really changed my bad hitting habits with your very simple instructions. In my opinion your golf video is best simple to apply and love the game of golf even more. Many thanks more power to your channel!✌
Hi Danny your videos are the best out in UA-cam land. I practice your tips everyday. I feel the video on releasing the club was a worth it's weight in gold. After slowing my swing down so I can feel when I was releasing the club I realised my release was way to early so many high handicappers must be the same. It makes it nearly impossible to hit the ball with a downward strike. If I feel my hands pass the ball before release my trail side engages automatically resulting in a downward strike on the ball. It's a proper eureka moment. If I change the ball position for a driver but use the same release then my swing arc will hit the ball on the up. It's the final piece of the puzzle for me.. ❤
It’s a crazy coincidence that this vid came out when it did. The instructor I just started working with has me doing drills that strengthen the face, and it encourages the exact same feels through impact that you’re describing. Definite improvements in strike, dispersion, and distance after a short time of working on it.
A long time ago Peter Alliss did a series on tv with new golfers and one lesson comes to mind where he got a lady golfer who had never hit a ball other than a park putting green by getting her to put with a 7 iron gradually increasing the length of stroke. Your lesson today reminds of a time when injury reduced my swing so I'm going to try this on Monday and report back😊
7:52 this part has turned out to be the key for me. I’ve been messing with this trail hand feeling since Danny posted the Cowen video a couple months back and just couldn’t feel it until this part. Esp where you comment that you can do it with the lead shoulder as well, which is how I tend to swing. That made it click how to use the trail arm correctly. FINALLY.
Awesome Danny! This really helped! I’m struggling to do this at speed right now. 9 o’clock punch shots get me to about 80% of my average distance, but once I go to a full swing, I’m starting to cut across the ball and accuracy is lost just like George at 5:07 . I’m so used to swinging with my arms for speed. Just need to train myself to use the ground to generate some more force for that added speed.
Danny, you're so inspiring!. I know understand why some of my golf friends hits the ball further than me, while my back swing is longer. Again a perfect drill from you.
I discovered this short swing and fast rythm one day with my driverm it was like an effortles, low swing arc all around. I ll try with my irons and right arm you practice. Thanks.
Great tip, push with the pad. I play with a short back swing already but do get flippy at times. Working on the pushing drill you showed at the beginning of the video. Thanks Danny, great job on this one.
I have never felt good about my irons. I hit my driver about 200 yds and fairway woods very well. My pitching wedge was only used under 50 yds and 4 iron for low punches out from under trees. I watched this video on Friday, hit a few sponge balls in my yard and went to the driving range on Saturday. Almost right from the start, off the grass, I was landing my pitching wedge within a few yards of the 100 yard marker and then the big test was the 4 iron. First hit was 150 yrds and a few swings later was landing the ball very close to the 150 marker. Oh, by the way, I am 75 years old and can't wait to play on Monday. Thank you so much.
Love it! Don't know why but you are honestly the best "connection" I have when it comes to coaching. Easy to understand, forward thinking in your drills, and always IMMEDIATELY impactful! Please never stop changing golfers all around the world buddy!
Without doubt the most helpful video I’ve ever used - so far seems to have transformed my game with crazy improvements in club head speed and ball flight
Hi Danny, will be looking to try this when I get back home and out on my local golf club. All the other tips and exercises have worked so far, so I am sure to give this one ago..😊😊
Had my first lesson with a coach few days ago and was hitting much straighter within 20 balls but am still struggling with distance. Hope to fix it but will definitely try this as well to help
Well Danny, you just made the perfect video for me to show my range buddies EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to describe to them!!! You definitely explain it better than I do, lol. This is an extremely valuable drill and after finding this method myself through experimenting, in my opinion this is actually where the beginning of learning a mechanically correct full swing should start. Seriously. Golf Range Genius #1: “What kind of help is smashing a bucket of balls with those little snaps gonna do? You have to feel the whole swing.” 🤦♂️ Me: “No Einstein, you can break the swing into it’s parts and transitions like a jigsaw puzzle for your muscle memory and put them all together. I’m learning how to make the most pressure into the ball at the bottom and through the release.” What I was doing is exactly what you’re describing here and the difference it makes in both the feeling of pressure into the ball and the results in added yardage is miraculous. My big issue was always not realizing I was stopping my rotation which forced me to intentionally release the club too early. After doing a bit of feeling around with some short “bottom of the downswing” experimenting I landed on practicing exactly what you are doing here. This is one of those practice drills that really helps you find those energy and efficiency deficits that are missing in your current swing in a very big way. But you really need to bring this in by hitting A LOT of balls without succumbing to the temptation of going into a full swing to see if it’s helping. You can only slowly add a little bit of length at a time to allow your muscle memory to guide its way into that most effective pressure move consistently. If you go for the big swing after only a few tries, you will definitely not enter that point in the downswing correctly and lose the effect. This needs to be drilled in and slowly “built in to a longer swing” if that makes sense. Figuring the motion that delivers the most powerful strike at this segment of the swing really gives you a feel for the dynamic variability of techniques that not only gives you more power in the strike, it also gives you a better sense of where your club face is and what it’s actually doing instead of just wielding that thing around hoping for a solid strike. This is really a terrific drill. Important actually and extremely productive.⛳️😎⛳️
Great lesson as always. I have to work on contact and this drill and thought process will definitely help. Can’t wait to get to the range! Thanks Danny!!!
It's all about the quality of the actual contact. Tips to "hit the ball farther" presuppose you're even making proper contact with the ball. Half my range time is spent hitting half or "3/4" swing punch 6 or 7 irons where i tell myself "I'm only trying to hit this 150 yards." It's amazing how often I look up and see I've it it 185.
Great work Danny! I’ve been applying your recent videos at the range and it’s made a huge difference to consistency, you have a gift to teach. There’s no more need to trawl UA-cam for further teaching videos! If you could I’d love to see you expand with greater detail on using long irons with this Pete Cowen method. Many thanks. Andrew. Essex UK.
Sir Danny, as always love your content! Thank you for sharing this drill! It made a huge improvement with my ball striking and I’m hitting the ball further even with a three quarter swing throughout my bag!
That pushing down at the ball with the pad of the right hand is an incredible feel motion. It even helps get in the right position on the backswing by knowing where you have to be at impact. Great tip!
Chalk me down as a new subscriber! My ball striking, particularly my irons have improved dramatically by 1) Playing a lot more golf but mainly 2) Putting in the practice with a purpose, looking forward to seeing more of your videos 👍
Cracking video again Danny I’ve seen real improvements in keeping the wrist angles especially with the Driver over the last couple of weeks. Speed is whats been missing so thank you so much I had been a bit unsure about the straightening of the right elbow joint but you have explained it beautifully.
I really enjoy the videos. The time and effort you have dedicated to this is amazing. After watching your videos and applying the lesson to my practice I'm beginning to see some much needed improvement. Thank you so much for what you are providing to the golfing community and all of us weekend golfers who really love the game.
I love the way you explain everything, simplicity, and repetition. Now, please, tell me, how can I manage to stop my swing? My brain and my muscles do not agree,😅😅😅 Especially I hugely over swing with my driver! Sometimes, it goes well sometimes... Thanks a million. My hcp 13,7 Paloma
You only need to watch two golf instruction videos to improve your game: this one and Danny's video on hitting driver farther with a short backswing. Watch those a few times and your ball striking and game will improve big time. Mine did. Brilliant, Danny!
Hi Danny, good lesson, I am a left hand dominant, right handed golfer. Picked up on your comments in this lesson differentiating the role of the lead arm and trail arm in strike - do you have more to share on this ?
Great discriptive lesson. Can't wait to get to the range and try getting the shorter back swing, the rythm and palm push down action working together !
Even though I'm a "single-planer" golfer, I always like your training videos. I have struggled with over swinging and I cannot go back to far or my left arm breaks down. Always struggled to keep my left arm straight due to body limitations. So, I tried your approach and....solid contact, consistent contact, nice high shots, and plenty of power. Thanks!
Here we go again, if I feel the sensation? Yes! Already looking forward to next golf season here in the cold north. Indoor training for a while. Thanks! 🙂
I love this “New” technique that you are currently teaching, Danny. One thing I’m struggling with in this regard is trying to get better at hitting a draw. Does all your previous draw videos still hold true, or are there certain tweaks that you would focus on after Cowen’s advice about “spinning down” that you are now teaching?
Really good lesson, thanks, Danny. The other day just saying one hundred and one to myself as I swung produced a lot more accuracy without compromising on length. The worst is when I’m trying to force a shot and the hand arc gets out of sync with the club head. Smart new Calloway dividers. Who are Princes though?!
Hi Danny. Just want to say thanks for all you tutorials! They really helped to improve my game! I am half way around the world from where you are, but I always refer to you as my teacher to my fellow golfers (refer to your videos as well). 👍👍👍
Now there’s a thought. A tour to the bottom half of the planet with the bride (bring Dad too) during a miserable UK winter for a series of clinics, lessons and other mischief.
Thanks for the video. This reminds me of Jon Rahm’s driver swing. His back swing is considerably shorter than most on the tour, but he hits the ball with excellent power and consistency.
7:24 Hi Danny. Watched the video this morning in bed. Rushed to the range. It worked an absolute treat. Your work with Peter Cowan is fantastic. Because your interpretation is so much easier to understand.
Hello Danny , thank you again. It really helps to follow your lessons. If possible please put some videos with woods online. Me , im struggling as I hot irons and during a round to change to my woods. Maybe it’s something you have in mind anyway. Greetings from Germany. 😊😊😊
Great advice and presentation Danny, you are a top instructor. It reminds me of Jon Rahm’s short backswing, and his explosive power through the impact zone.
Thank you Danny, a nice simple technique to practice without to much to thinkbabout during the swing. Most helpful video for my game in a while. Keep them coming 😊😊
This worked for me. I finally broke 100 the next day. Not big for yall but a huge milestone for me.
Good job!
Great
Big congratulations. I've been playing for 6 months and I'm now only consistently hitting in the mid-90s. These videos are golden
Breaking 100 is huuuge mate, congratulations 🙌
Congratulations! Keep it up.

Thanks for the comment, what does it mean pushing heels of my hand down? Do i have to choke up my hands?
Clearly Danny is the best ticket on UA-cam for lessons. Thanks so much. Your techniques are attainable for all of us. Nothing massive or complicated. Your proof is seen in consistently getter better contact with the strike. So simple. So one else teaches better.

Really happy to help Ben
You're doing a great job for all of us. Your lessons are too simple and very easy to comprehend.
Glad you like them!
You always manage to convey complicated processes so easily and comprehensibly. Perfect!!
Thank you Guidoh 😁
Fantastic tips!!! I have been following you for months, and by applying your advice my consistency and distance improvement in the game is more than remarkable. Thank you so much Danny!!!
Great lesson, Danny! Took it to the driving range and saw about a 10-15% increase in distance with every club and super solid contact!
Great vid & especially good to hear a coach talk about right or left side dominance & explain the solution for this drill. 👍👍👍
Congratulations you are selected among winners of my giveaway 🎉❤
It crazy just by listening and watching a tiny bit you get across how to feel the shot, and the "force", behind a golf shot. Great video
Really happy to help
Danny Maude back in the house with some fire tips! Much appreciated mate!
Happy to help 🤜🏻🤛🏼
I've been working on keeping that elbow tucked and shortening my back swing a little bit and it's worked wonders for my iron game. Great tip Danny.
Wonderful to hear Jimmy
Another insightful and helpful video. Game changing!
Really good drill. I love warming up with half shots and building up the swing rhythm with extra power. Definitely helps me keep my full swing in sync
Thank you!
Good lesson on the importance of getting a good rhythm in place. Been working on the shortened swing of late and this video ties in perfectly to that drill process. Been doing something similar but including an alignment rod to help get the club coming from the inside - takeaway over the rod, downswing under the rod.
Push with your trail hand. This is what Marcus Edblad has always taught. Highly recommend watching his videos too. Thanks Danny
great suggestions... it really doesn't take anything away from Danny's. it just goes further with the trail arm action.
But note it's not Palm down for driver, it's opposite, palm up, i follow Marcus, hitting it further than ever at almost 70
I finally found what "swinging in the slot" felt like with the feels and drills in this video!!1. Danny you're the man!!!!
Wonderful to hear Matt
You’re an amazing coach Danny Maude. Please keep up your good work in promoting your lessons. I’ve been watching your videos for a long while now and I’ve gotten better in my ball striking.
@francise4195 thank you so much for your comments. It really does me a lot. That’s great that my videos are helping striking the ball. Keep up the good work 😀

Amazing. I was popping my 52* 50 yards in extremely soggy conditions here in southern Cook County, Chicago IL. Thanks Danny!
I'd love to see the whole video with your student. I can't wait to try this. This is exactly the problem I've had all my life.
Pleasure Kevin
A terrific drill. I watch this a couple of times a day in order to perfect my contact. Really good stuff.
Don
playing my best golf ever, massive thank you.....down to a single amazing
Amazing to hear
Great lesson as always. I have to work on contact and this drill and thought process will definitely help. Can’t wait to get to the range! Thanks Danny!!!
Have fun
The best drill I have received and practiced in my 20 years of golf. Congratulations you are really a coach
Thank you Joan 😁
It's all about the quality of the actual contact. Tips to "hit the ball farther" presuppose you're even making proper contact with the ball. Half my range time is spent hitting half or "3/4" swing punch 6 or 7 irons where i tell myself "I'm only trying to hit this 150 yards." It's amazing how often I look up and see I've it it 185.
Absolutely right
Great session Danny. This thought plus your hip move forward enables solid ball first contact with force. Stay safe-Russ
Great work Danny! I’ve been applying your recent videos at the range and it’s made a huge difference to consistency, you have a gift to teach. There’s no more need to trawl UA-cam for further teaching videos! If you could I’d love to see you expand with greater detail on using long irons with this Pete Cowen method. Many thanks. Andrew.

More terrific help Danny. I will spend our Canadian winter doing this move. Thank you so very much. 😊
Sir Danny, as always love your content! Thank you for sharing this drill! It made a huge improvement with my ball striking and I’m hitting the ball further even with a three quarter swing throughout my bag!
Amazing to hear Angel
That pushing down at the ball with the pad of the right hand is an incredible feel motion. It even helps get in the right position on the backswing by knowing where you have to be at impact. Great tip!
I think all your videos are excellent but this may be the best one yet. So simple. Thank you
Thank you Jack!
this is exactly what I did at the range the other day! never felt more consistent with the striking!
Chalk me down as a new subscriber! My ball striking, particularly my irons have improved dramatically by 1) Playing a lot more golf but mainly 2) Putting in the practice with a purpose, looking forward to seeing more of your videos 👍
Amazing to hear, thanks for taking the time to share
Excellent advice. Helped me a lot. Saw results at the driving range. Showed it to my oldest son. Thank you so much!
Thank you Jason!
That's perfect. I remember my golf instructor teaching me that exact drill and it great improved my game. Well done!
Happy to hear it Matt 😁
Thank you for another helpful video.
I am playing this afternoon so I will give it a try.
Helped my game yesterday for my best shots ever. Thank you for sharing your expertise. It worked for me, thank you
Happy to help John 😁
Cracking video again Danny I’ve seen real improvements in keeping the wrist angles especially with the Driver over the last couple of weeks. Speed is whats been missing so thank you so much I had been a bit unsure about the straightening of the right elbow joint but you have explained it beautifully.
Really happy to help Jon, have a great weekend
Goes without saying. Class. Great lesson superbly explained. Another piece of the jigsaw. Danny, absolutely brilliant
Great simple stuff Danny. When I get out onto the driving range next week going to try this as current iron striking is awful!!
You can do it Graham
I really enjoy the videos. The time and effort you have dedicated to this is amazing. After watching your videos and applying the lesson to my practice I'm beginning to see some much needed improvement. Thank you so much for what you are providing to the golfing community and all of us weekend golfers who really love the game.
I love the way you explain everything, simplicity, and repetition. Now, please, tell me, how can I manage to stop my swing? My brain and my muscles do not agree,😅😅😅
Especially I hugely over swing with my driver! Sometimes, it goes well sometimes...
Thanks a million.

That with the Pete Cowan videos you recently did is pure magic Thank you !!
Glad you like them David
You only need to watch two golf instruction videos to improve your game: this one and Danny's video on hitting driver farther with a short backswing. Watch those a few times and your ball striking and game will improve big time. Mine did. Brilliant, Danny!
@BobCarrera thank you. I really appreciate your comment 👍🏻
Another quality video Danny. John Rahm and Tony Finau are great examples of this and they hit the ball a mile.
Absolutely 👌
Hi Danny, good lesson, I am a left hand dominant, right handed golfer. Picked up on your comments in this lesson differentiating the role of the lead arm and trail arm in strike - do you have more to share on this ?
Great discriptive lesson. Can't wait to get to the range and try getting the shorter back swing, the rythm and palm push down action working together !
Even though I'm a "single-planer" golfer, I always like your training videos. I have struggled with over swinging and I cannot go back to far or my left arm breaks down. Always struggled to keep my left arm straight due to body limitations. So, I tried your approach and....solid contact, consistent contact, nice high shots, and plenty of power. Thanks!
Brilliant happy to help 😁
Here we go again, if I feel the sensation? Yes! Already looking forward to next golf season here in the cold north. Indoor training for a while. Thanks! 🙂
Have fun
Another brilliant video!!! This technique has revolutionized everything!!!!!! 😮
Glad it was helpful!
Kudos Danny! I tried this drill out and it works like a charm. That is all that needs to be said.
Well done 😁 thanks for the comment!
Another great lesson I am going to try this because this is where I am failing with contact & distance.
Have fun Barry
Thanks again Danny another Saturday and another great tip, hope this helps me to stop casting my clubs, keep them coming mate.
I love this “New” technique that you are currently teaching, Danny. One thing I’m struggling with in this regard is trying to get better at hitting a draw. Does all your previous draw videos still hold true, or are there certain tweaks that you would focus on after Cowen’s advice about “spinning down” that you are now teaching?
So good and just what I needed!! George sounds exactly like me! 😅 I need to work on making better contact with this drill. Thank you! 🙏
You got this!
Really effective drill. Thank you again for your generosity and great coaching.
Thanks Danny, another great Video, going through a series of lessons and your are making it all make sense. 👏👏
Great to hear!
Really good lesson, thanks, Danny. The other day just saying one hundred and one to myself as I swung produced a lot more accuracy without compromising on length. The worst is when I’m trying to force a shot and the hand arc gets out of sync with the club head. Smart new Calloway dividers. Who are Princes though?!
Thank you, Princes is a great course here in the South East
Hi Danny. Just want to say thanks for all you tutorials! They really helped to improve my game! I am half way around the world from where you are, but I always refer to you as my teacher to my fellow golfers (refer to your videos as well). 👍👍👍
Super kind thank you, where are you from?
I'm from Indonesia, Danny!
Now there’s a thought. A tour to the bottom half of the planet with the bride (bring Dad too) during a miserable UK winter for a series of clinics, lessons and other mischief.
@@HanifArief lovely
That's my drill for the next couple of weeks in the range. Thanks Danny!
Thanks for the video. This reminds me of Jon Rahm’s driver swing. His back swing is considerably shorter than most on the tour, but he hits the ball with excellent power and consistency.
7:24 Hi Danny.
Watched the video this morning in bed. Rushed to the range. It worked an absolute treat.
Your work with Peter Cowan is fantastic. Because your interpretation is so much easier to understand.
Very kind thank you Alan 😁
Hello Danny , thank you again. It really helps to follow your lessons. If possible please put some videos with woods online. Me , im struggling as I hot irons and during a round to change to my woods. Maybe it’s something you have in mind anyway. Greetings from Germany. 😊😊😊
Great advice and presentation Danny, you are a top instructor.
It reminds me of Jon Rahm’s short backswing, and his explosive power through the impact zone.
Thanks Danny that’s a key fundamental. I need to do this routinely to get consistency
Thank you Danny, a nice simple technique to practice without to much to thinkbabout during the swing. Most helpful video for my game in a while. Keep them coming 😊😊
