    Fantastic video, Danny!!! This is so simple to understand! As I mentioned in comments to some of your other videos, my biggest problem is how to transfer my weight to my lead side in the downswing/impact without sliding or swaying, and as you aptly demonstrated with stopping first at the top and then proceeding down and through, it all just happens naturally! Truly a gem of a video!

    Thank you for this important instruction Danny. So many of us have had the misconception of the weight transfer being a lateral shift back and then forward. Which, as you know, is totally false. I've struggled for years trying to stop swaying, and so many times I was under the false impression I stopped when actually a video of my swing showed I was still swaying. It was astonishing how difficult it was to stop and equally as astonishing the improvements in power and ball striking! Wonderful delivery of the instruction, thanks again.

    Hi Danny,
    I had trouble with this and I used the mirror technique you mentioned for practice. What really helped was drawing a vertical line on the mirror in black felt tip and then placing my right hip on the line at set up. You can instantly see if your hip goes outside the line on your backswing which equals a sway. I would forgive myself if my hip came INSIDE the line, but it shouldn’t move more than the width of a golf ball if it does at all. Make sure the wife is out before drawing on the mirror. Thanks for the great videos.

    Hi Danny thanks again. The sway video u did ( spiral PC ) whom I know well was again super. The ball under the right foot we did yrs ago another good one. However, my tendency certainly as I got older was to move the Top half ( bottom half quite stable) I copied this move way back from Howard Clarke...when I practiced/ played with him when he made Walker Cup & Then Ryder Cup as u may know. He was a powerful ball striker with a tendency to ‚ move around & up so to speak. I became a good iron player but not a good driver ( 3w was my driving club wood ) then a TMade brassie..and so on improving my driving a lot but my irons suffered as my body changed & Kalk in my shoulder caused me discomfort. Am pleased to say my injuries are away & that I do hope to play Senior Open at Royal Lytham Next yr...although I will be 65:) I hit still around 250 & a bit more depending on conditions. 7i is around 150 on a good strike but am not consistent as I would like & have tended to get stuck or have fear to start the swing because of mishitting...u understand causing some anxiety. I know it’s a long story but it may help u & others that the past present & future kick in...of course I work on my mind to allow me to play freely..I still score around the par zone in Austria...on a 6600yd course. I would really like to get my iron play sorted ...many thanks again Danny

    Danny, do you use the same spiral technique with the driver and woods? Your video on driving straight stresses a rotational swing using the big muscles in the back and down swings. You don't cover reaching the top of the back swing with a flat left wrist.

    • @DanielMaude
      @DanielMaude  7 років тому

      Peter Esposito, yes you do. The difference is when you spiral back down with the woods the ball position is further forward more in line with the front foot so the clubhead hits the ball on the way up as the body spirals up into the finish.

Or we 'open' the bottom part of the body towards the target and then start the downswing? The reason i ask this is if i place a training stick under the ball and in line with the direction i want to hit towards i notice that after i make contact with the ball i immediately hit the stick. This is how i physically see that i have done an out to in swing. Hope you can give me some pointers or direct me to one of your videos to help cure this issue.

      Thanks for the feedback. Having looked at the two videos I probably exaggerate the set up a little to illustrate the point in the How to address the ball video.
      If you feel your left shoulder may be a problem just experiment on the range with slightly different heights and see what happens. As pros the left shoulder will be lower at address when we play lower shots and higher if higher shots

    I’ve started to watch a lot of peoples swings. You can see the knees bend to move the hips. Lead knee bend trail leg straightening, a sort of butt move towards lead leg to start the downswing while reversing the knee bend, but more weight towards front side and really an increase in weight. I do have a more connected upper body though also. Kind of hogan esc. But nowhere as good. But I do tend to feel myself sway instead of turn sometimes when I try to increase the foot plant

    Great idea to help with the back swing but the problem isn’t so much the back swing but the follow thru. The slid at the follow thru .

    • @DanielMaude
      @DanielMaude  5 років тому

      Tom Joyce the key is to use the ground, if you throw a ball you just don’t slide...try it...as you plant your lead foot down it braces and your body rotates naturally around it

    I understand the absolute importance of no sway on the backswing...however all great players fire their hips towards the target on the downswing. Is this not a sway/slide? Or would you advise more of a circular pivot of the hips? btw ..excellent videos.

      Keep your back facing the target a little longer as you start the downswing...this can help the club drop on to a flatter plane

    Danny, nice video as always. I have a question. My lower body does not sway, but my head moves back a fair bit in my swing. I do get it back to close to where it was at address at impact, but still tend to hit fat shots. Do you think the head movement has anything to do with the fat shots? Btw, I have tried everything to stop the head from moving too much, but it keeps on happening. As soon as. I start the move back my head goes with the club seemingly.

    @dannymaude if I keep my weight on the inside if my back foot on my backswing, is that a good way to tell myself I am not swaying? What if my weight feels flat on my backswing? - its because I tend to raise my front heel on my backswing. Thanks in advance.

      lee south , thanks Lee, just simply come back down the spiral staircase. Most golfers don't, instead they jump off the staircase on the way down often described as coming over the top.
      Rehearse it in a mirror first so you can see it...spiral up the staircase and then follow the same staircase back down.
      Do it slowly at first, even stopping at the top so you can concentrate on what you need to do

    Should the backswing spiral start with the feet / ankles and wind up or does the act of swinging the club up and back create the spiral or does it matter?

  • @MrBarrynicholas
    @MrBarrynicholas 7 років тому +2

    Surely there has to be some lateral movement with the lower body on the downswing (towards the target) otherwise we would be striking the ball exactly as it was at address. The arc of the swing needs to be moved sideways, bringing the lowest point of the arc just target side of the ball. The staircase thought works well in the backswing, but then has to be shifted for it to work throughout the rest of the swing.

    • @DanielMaude
      @DanielMaude  7 років тому +1

      barry nicholas, great comment Barry. There is a gentle shift towards the target but it's minimal. It only needs to move a couple of inches to have a ball turf strike. This training is for those that are swaying excessively. Too much lateral movement reduces rotation and hip clearance through impact.
      Hope this clarifies things

    • @DanielMaude
      @DanielMaude  5 років тому +1

      there isn't a sway forward on the downswing, when you see the pros move forward its more of a squatting of the body that moves the body towards the target.
      Imagine tossing a ball towards the target, you don't slide towards it but instead increase the downward pressure of the feet into the ground and naturally rotate

      Hi Simon, thanks for the feedback. Check out my latest training on how to strike your irons pure.
      In it I demonstrate how to rotate through the ball correctly. I also give you my left foot back drill that really helps this.
      The best way to stop swaying going forward is to work on staying centred and clearing the left side out if the way through impact. People who sway slide their body through impact as opposed to rotate it.

      Mair Owen, sounds like the club is heading over the top of the ball from out to in. Make sure your your head and sternum are in line with the ball. Then make some swings making sure you don't move ahead in front of the ball at Impact but instead stay in line with the ball the moment club strikes the ball
