Danny has some of the best videos I have ever watched. Been golfing since I was a junior in grade 5. 42 now and things change. These small tips help get things back together. Golf is a forever changing game
Might very well be the best video I have ever watched. Interestingly I bought a divot board a few weeks ago. I’ve always struggled hitting the ball first and than taking a divot. The divot board saw me bottoming out before striking the ball=fat shots. Working with this video totally corrected that problem! Better yet taking it to the practice range, I was striping/compressing the ball really well. Huge difference this video has made on my ball striking. 13 handicap now and feel I can knock that down to a 9 or 10 putting your lesson to work. Not bad for a senior golfer in his late 60’s. Many thanks Danny!
Just wanted to say hello to all who watch . This lesson was so very important to what i needed to start to compress the ball better . Painting the wall was the best ....so simple... so easy . Wow who would of thought ! Thanks Danny
In just a few minutes you not only captured my "exact" problem, you also provided an easy to understand and apply solution! For me, the key is the angle, I have been coming over the top and now will adjust to allow my hands to stay forward. You are spot-on with the flicking of the wrist when I come over the top to much. The other thing I noticed was it allows the left wrist to stay straight much easier ... you are the best!
I swear I wanted to say the same thing. I've been mixing and matching from both. Danny recently unlocked some distance for me just off that towell drill. Did you catch that one from Danny recently? Such a gem.
First time I have watched a video that doesn't start out with "this tip is going to change your golf game forever" Very technical and sensible advice that actually has an effect on my fairway shots!
Can't thank you enough for posting this video, as a beginner the tip to splatter the paint completely corrected my swing giving me much more consistency. Beforehand I was loading up on the club at the top of the backswing making me lose control and top the ball almost everytime.
Excellent coaching video once again Danny, very relatable, provides easy to use swing thoughts. I'll be practicing this at the range later today! Thanks again.
So many things I liked about this video. The paint brush splatter, the way you describe the process, and what to avoid. I would encourage everyone to view this again and focus on how your legs are working as you swing. Top notch instruction! Thank you!!
This is single-handedly, the best video I’ve ever watched on golf lessons. Did everything you said and ended up hitting the 150 yard flag pole which made a loud noise.
Great video Danny. Played today and had a really pleasing day with the irons. It's an awakening when the feeling of hands forward of club head arrives. More distance and cleaner hitting. This video and your driver video, where you take the driver back and through the golf swing plane with the left hand only has helped my game a lot. Thank you 🤠🏌️
I'm working on replicating your iron mechanics. I take 20 swings while gripping the alignment stick...then I'm ready to strike the ball into my net. My improved mechanics are becoming more natural. It's cold today (25 F) in Maryland USA. Thanks!
This is a great blend of three classic swing drills. ('split hand', 'rod on grip' and 'paint brush') The graphics were a nice touch too. The arm and body positions from 4:40 through 4:48 are powerful AND square. The grip is strong through a beautiful arc. It would be interesting to see how that translates into face orientation at setup.
Finally felt like a could hit better iron shots today after this, stopped topping almost every single shot and actually felt my trailing arm working like the video said it should, this has been the most productive of the very many videos I've watched, thanks. Now about driver...
I have played golf all my life and never understood how to know where the club face is during the swing until watching your video. I can’t wait to continue to work on your swing principles….thanks Danny!!
Something about this drill clicked today, I’ve been having trouble with consistently striking irons and fighting a slice. By focussing on the ‘paint brush’ feeling it allowed me hit down on the ball and maintain a forward shaft lean far more consistently and also naturally helped me reduce my over the top and getting too handsy on the downswing. Really focussed on trusting the lower body rotation squaring the face rather than manipulating with hands and arms and worked a treat. High, straight ball flight with a slight fade bias which is my natural shape. Cheers Danny 👍🏻
I watched your vid on drivers for seniors and tested it yesterday and the results were amazing. My drives were about 30 to 40 yards further and 80% down the fairway! Thanks Danny! Looking forward to practicing the irons today. I'm 64 and just started playing 4 years ago.
Great bit of tuition Danny. Tried it out on the course today. Irons felt much better on strike and were overall more accurate. I even adapted the technique on my woods and one of my hybrid clubs. There was a definite improvement there too.
Thanx, Danny. This video is just in time. Last week I crushed a drive from the 17th green tee box, hitting way past the other three. The best drive of my life, only to screw up my iron shot to the green. A familiar story, I am sure. With this new knowledge, and proper practice, perhaps I can now hit better iron shots.
Danny, Danny Maude, this is the best lesson that you have ever produced. All of a sudden the golf swing has fallen into place for me, thank you for taking the time to produce these excellent instructional videos. Jimmythejim
Thanks Danny! I love these little mantras...under, which has helped my driver, and paint the wall and splatter. Easy to remember and helps to stay on focus. I had low gross in the B flight for our first day of our league today.
Took your advise to the course and it was a “Eureka!” moment! Keeping my hands ahead of my ball consciously kept me line with my target! I didn’t even have to hit the ball as hard and I was hitting my lengths. Thanks, Danny.
Danny you are by far the best at breaking things down in a simple way. You have helped me so much. I’m a 8 handicap trying to become scratch I feel like with your videos I might get there. Thank you keep em coming
Have learned a lot from your videos. This instruction really brought a lot together for me. Not just with irons. I can now feel the movement through the ball and the proper finish. God bless you! Thank you!
Thank you Danny for your instruction. I appreciate the care, and detail you employ to try and teach these principles. I struggle with this very topic, and you articulate very well a solution. I totally understand what you are saying... am enthusiastic to try this...and again, thank you for your passion to teach!
Great visualization of the swing. I was coming over the top yesterday at the driving range and now I have a drill to try to correct what I was doing wrong.
Danny what great advice. Loved your video so much i went to the range this morning and watched your video. Was so impressed went again after work to prove it wasn't a one off 😊 Wow I'm hitting so much straighter thanks to your tips. Excellent stuff as always.
Had a good game yesterday playing with only irons but I hit a few approach shots straight left of target. I'll practice these drills when I'm next out. Nice video.
Cheers Danny - This was the feel I have been practicing for a while now and the trick about turning the muscle of the trailing arm was the visual I needed! Thanks mate..
You probably won’t see this but I’m a beginner golfer and have been trying to find good videos to gain tips from and I’ve finally come across your vids I really enjoy and appreciate the content love how you explain everything
Great drill!! It’s like you saw me at the range yesterday. I took a video of my swing and I noticed thatI am releasing the club really early. Can’t wait to try it!!
Exactly what I was looking for. I felt I was going around my body too much because I was really trying to be connected and compact. Just yesterday, I employed a different feel that, I think, is more appropriate. The rod will help with the feel and consistency. I'm definitely going to make it a part of my warm up routine. Thanks!
As always a practical visual on how to make the game more enjoyable. I have been a habitual flicker since day one and am slowly working through it to what you are teaching here. Your lessons/drills are making a difference - seeing more GIRs along with several nGIR which means more looks at Birdie and more pars made. Will be making this drill and last weeks part of the regular work - as both can be easily done at home.
Hey Danny! I'm relatively new to golf. I've just come back from having practice after watching this video and at least 75% of shots with a 7 iron were hit up to 140 metres and straight. Cheers.
WOW!!! I went out today and put this to work exactly how you laid it out. While going after the first ball it felt weird coming down, but once I made contact it immediately made sense. You can ABSOLUTELY feel the difference in compression on that ball and it explodes off the club face. But, it feels very solid, comfortable, and consistently controllable once you grind that path and position into the swing. That was a revelation, lol. That was really cool and made a very big difference. Nice!! Thank you!!! AGAIN, LOL!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Hey - I think it's great that so many people seem to be helped by your videos and other golf instruction videos but, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, given the amount of golf instruction videos out there by so many "highly respected" instructors, with all due respect, why aren't their more really good golfers out there?
I think there could be many answers to that. One could be people misinterpret lessons, coaches like me don’t put it across well enough, golfers aren’t patient enough often looking for a quick fix. There are many reasons. It takes time to improve. I do believe if we all had more of a child like mindset and were willing to mess up more often we would get better quicker
Thanks, Danny... This split hand drill (to get me to the proper position at the top of the backswing) and painting drill with the left hand for compression and release has transformed my game! Hitting solid shots consistently further and straighter. Now I just need to practice putting..lol. Game on!
Update: This drill alone has transformed my game. I was releasing early. I was home sick and didnt play for 3 weeks but I did this drill. First time out I shot 2 under. Thanks Danny.
That is the best visual I have ever scene for hitting iron shots. I can’t wait to go to the range.
Have fun Shawn
You must have seen me trying to hit irons this week. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Danny.
Me too! I’m sharing with my BFF who has the same issue!
Danny has some of the best videos I have ever watched. Been golfing since I was a junior in grade 5. 42 now and things change. These small tips help get things back together. Golf is a forever changing game

Best golf instructor on UA-cam!!!! "Hands Down"!!! 😉
One of the best teachers on golf swings; hands downs! Thanks Danny!
Thank you for the support Walt

I swear I wanted to say the same thing. I've been mixing and matching from both. Danny recently unlocked some distance for me just off that towell drill. Did you catch that one from Danny recently? Such a gem.
Bravo. One of the best explanations of the mechanics of an iron swing. The painting illustration is absolutely brilliant.
It really does help with the flow

Thanks for taking the time to feedback Gary

Tremendous imagery and yet more crystal-clear instruction. Thanks, Danny!
Glad to be back watching videos to improve the ball strking and lower scores...
Welcome back Jeff
Throwing the paint example is best tip i' ve ever had. Swing finally feels effortless and am able to swing in to out
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing John
Best part of Saturday is a new video from Danny. Always helpful
This is up their with "Possibly the EASIEST way to improve ANY golf swing!" Great visual as to what to practice.
This is single-handedly, the best video I’ve ever watched on golf lessons. Did everything you said and ended up hitting the 150 yard flag pole which made a loud noise.
Awesome to hear
Life makes sense again after a Danny Maude lesson. Thanks.. 🙂
Really happy to help

You lost me when you said your drive's hit the fairway 😂
😂🤜🏻🤛🏼
😅😅🤣🤣
I always hit the fairway. Usually 1 or 2 fairways over.
🤣🤣 I feel this
What’s a fairway? 🤔😂😂
Your videos have helped me so much and I just wanted to say THANK YOU ! - Pete
You are very welcome Pete I’m really happy to help
This has made this move more simple and clear than any other video I’ve seen! Thank you!
No problem Greg 👍
Danny you are the best.... my game has improved dramatically because of you! Thank you!

Fabulous video Danny, really great use of visualisation. Easy for a non techie golfer like me to understand. Thanks.
That’s great Kevin, all the best
in many videos of technique explanation we learn also one key point of golf. Imagination! Your examples are just awesome!
Thank you all the best

Look forward to hearing how you get on Kuma, all the best
This is a great visual Danny! 🎨 Wish I had watched this yesterday 😂 I love that this incorporates the release! Cheers!
Perfect timing! I haven't been consistent. What a spectacular drill. Thank you so much. Danny. you're such a great coach
Really happy to help Michele

Well done.

That’s brilliant David
Danny, first time I’ve really noticed how many camera angles you employ. Makes for terrific viewing. Same with the graphics. Nice, very nice
You do a great job of trying to help us "feel" the correct swing.
Thanks so much Ben
Best video I've seen in a long time. Has really helped me improve my swing.
That’s awesome Ron
Thank you! Tried this on the range today and was able to hit my irons with more consistency and got a better feel.
That’s awesome Marcus, great to hear
This is my nemesis on the golf course. Can't wait to try it out once my hand heals up! Thanks for all the help, Danny!
Happy to help Jamie 😁

Wonderful!
Perfect drill. I’m sure when I try today it will help me! Thanks again Danny and enjoy your weekend sir 😀
Simple, straightforward and something I will be practicing over the winter. Thank you.
Pleasure Dan, all the best
Love the way you find simple analogiens to illustrate what is the right thing to do, as opposed to try to “kill the golf ball” (rush the downswing).
Thank you Peer
Took your advise to the course and it was a “Eureka!” moment! Keeping my hands ahead of my ball consciously kept me line with my target! I didn’t even have to hit the ball as hard and I was hitting my lengths. Thanks, Danny.

Hi Danny thank you for giving us your time to make this video,keeping it simple to understand magic 👌👍🏌🏿♂️
Are very welcome Richard happy to help
This is a great image for what I need to be doing. I really enjoy your videos Danny! So much enthusiasm for teaching!!
You are very welcome
Have learned a lot from your videos. This instruction really brought a lot together for me. Not just with irons. I can now feel the movement through the ball and the proper finish. God bless you! Thank you!
Super drill there Danny.👍
Thanks William Hope you’re having a great weekend
Well done Danny.! Good visual instruction.
Danny, you nailed it. Lock the upper right arm to the upper body and work the way upwards.
All the best 🤜🏻🤛🏼
I love the paint splatter analogy. Great vid!

Mr. Maude, you are amazing. Love all your videos, but this one really resonated. I can't wait to put this into practice!
Thanks so much for the feedback, hope it helps Ramon
Brilliant analogy and tips Danny - great drills love it!
Simple and straightforward well done!
All the best John
Had a good game yesterday playing with only irons but I hit a few approach shots straight left of target. I'll practice these drills when I'm next out. Nice video.

Update: This drill alone has transformed my game. I was releasing early. I was home sick and didnt play for 3 weeks but I did this drill. First time out I shot 2 under. Thanks Danny.
Brilliant Danny! Well done ⛳️
I have really been struggeling with my irons for a long time. So I think this video is going to help me a lot😀
Great splashing paint drill ! Bravo
Great visualisation routine. I've adder white spirit to my bag contents.😎😁
