- How to hit the golf ball first. If you have ever found yourself hitting the ground behind the golf ball and wondering how to hit the ball then the turf with your irons you will know how frustrating it is.
So in this weeks golf instruction Danny Maude reveals one of his game changer golf drills that will not only help you to make solid contact with the ball using your irons, with just a minor adjustment you can use the drill to help you hit your driver dead straight.
You and I know we can't swing like Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka or Rory McIlroy but we can certainly learn to feel something similar at impact.
This amazingly simple swing drill reveals how golfers can naturally move their bodies to create ball first contact.
If you find that you strike the ground behind the ball or tend to feel a weak contact with your golf shots the easy swing drill will really help.

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

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you strike a ball with an iron. If you are looking for how to hit a ball straight with an iron, or want to know how to hit the ball first with irons then these golf drills will give you much better golf ball contact so that you can strike your irons pure.
I believe they are the easiest and best golf irons drills you can use
Also get to see the golf ball contact in slow motion - Спорт
Here is the practice the plan that accompanies this weeks golf lesson: www.dannymaude.com/Hit-the-ball-then-the-turf
Such important stuff. Thats the swing right there. Question, its still important to keep tilt through the swing correct? Seems golfers including myself will put a lot of the weight on the back foot to keep that tilt.
Certainly with the driver less so with the irons
Your tips on watching your arm position at impact have improved my iron game big time. Thanks Danny
Thanks Danny! Can't wait to go try this out. This problem accounts for nearly 10 strokes/round. Hopefully this will help a little with my aim as well. Probably another 10 strokes haha.

Danny Maude and John Saguto, 2 of the best golf instructors on UA-cam. Why? They simplify rather than over-complicating.
Thanks
Agree. I follow both of them. Stack and tilt concept here with weight on left foot...great video.
Paul Wilson too
Agree. I would add Paul Wilson and Adam Bazalgette.
Totally true! They tell us to feel it. That's great!
Danny,
Another great drill for one of the biggest problems of beginning or amateur golfers. You make things seem so simple and uncomplicated.
The concept of emulating the feeling of tossing a ball is taking all the anxiousness out of my swing issue. Toss it high, toss it low, short, far, always with rhythm, never short and quick. I’m going to first start rehearsing my swing as a one handed toss to get the image in my head, then move to a regular rehearsal swing before the shot.
Great lesson! Thanks. ⛳️🏌🏽
So good and so helpful! Thanks again Danny. You have a real gift at explaining what should be happening. There are many teachers who are very competent but few are really gifted!
Another fabulous drill............. I've used your instruction on hip movement this week and shot an 82...... Great stuff!!!! Thank you.
After about 3 or 4 months of Danny's videos, my game has never been better. Even bought a nice iron set, my games improved so much. Amazing what you can do from miles away. I'm down an average of 13 strokes
Mr. Maude I wanted to say thank you for this great lesson. I'm hitting my irons and wedges so pure and have added about 10 to 15 yards to each club. I'm ready to start implementing this to my hybrids, woods and driver. Thank you so much from Indiana, USA.
There is a welcome simplicity in Danny’s teaching; so refreshing.
Danny I’ve just realised why you’re such a good teacher. You clearly love what you do! Makes a big difference. 👍
He also is brilliant.
Thanks Danny . Will be giving this a try at the range tomorrow .
Let me know how you get on 👍
Thanks Danny, you have the ability to explain something that I’ve struggled with for a long time. I like how you explain it almost more as a feeling rather
than trying to make sure my body is in a certain position throughout the swing. So many times i have multiple thoughts running through my head when I’m ready to hit a shot that one thought will overpower another key element. We all learn in different ways and your way of teaching seems to resonate with me not just with this video but others i have watched. Keep up the great work and thank you again
Thanks Danny! Definitely making lessons simple and easier to remember while out on range and course !
Danny this is a game changer for me. I've only been golfing for a year after playing baseball and softball for over 50. I've been struggling with a huge slice on my driver and have tried everything - including additional lessons. The concept of pushing my hip back is the FIRST time this has been spoken. I can't want to go to the range later today and try it out! I took a few practice swings in my backyard just now with this concept and I could already feel the difference! Thank you!
Just tried this on the range with the driver and after a couple of practice shots its given me a few extra yards something to work on cheers Danny
Great news Dave
Dear Danny! I have watched all your golf lessons, but this is the really #1 one to me. Easy and clear. I was working on a visual image that could help me to keep me swing consistent, while having a confortable feeling.
This image is an arrow (as force vector) going from my right hip to some point in front of the ball, going inside to outside. To do so i realized i that power and balance come from the left leg, as you say, a rotation axis. A very important point to me is also ho to bend the left knee and shoulder rotation.
I was just working on it , trying the best way to make space for the swing, and i must thank you a lot because the drill ok turning the bum back was the icing on the cake! Infacts is much more natural and safe than pushing with the right hip. And pulling has more power than pushing, since it creates lag!
Thanks again, you are a nice person and a super teacher!
Danny ….. I’ve seen many a golf video …… but yours is the best by far … you explain it so simple and with excellent tips
Really hope they help Darren
No joke, Best instructor on You Tube. Three weeks ago, I was struggling with contact and not getting anywhere. I watched Danny's video where he helped Liam Harrison with this. This video is essentially an extension of that one. I worked on those feelings he describes and saw immediate improvement. This week I am playing the best golf of my life. I am striking the ball cleanly, getting more distance out of my shots and have shot back to back rounds in the 70's for the first time ever. THANK YOU Danny!
I've said before how great these videos are.....but seriously, I don't think it's even close with ANY other instructor on UA-cam with how much you simplify everything Danny. Please never stop teaching here!
I totally agree 😀😀👍👍👍
Absolute gold, Danny. Will definitely be taking this to the range tomorrow and work on this drill.
For actual help in improving at this crazy difficult game, your channel is one of only 2 that I ever take notice of, as you keep the advice as simple as it needs to be. Through watching a lot of the golf fundamentals advice you have posted, I have managed to go from a 28 to 19 handicapper in 2 years (only been playing 4 and a half years). Keep posting these gems. Cheers.
Thanks Danny, I consistently have this problem. I will work on these drills to try to eliminate hitting behind the ball . I enjoy your videos a lot.
Thank you Danny. I was ready to give up on golf, I have been so frustrated with my game, then I discovered your channel, your lessons are easy to follow and seem like they are ment for me. It is a lot of work, but I am slowly improving. Please keep doing what you do. Much appreciated.
I like the concept of “push back the hip” rather than “turn the hip”. I will repeat this idea in my mind each time I am practicing. Thanks!
Thats great, you will find it happens quite naturally when your pressure is on your lead foot
Thank you, Danny. Many instructors know a lot about golf, but you are a tremendous teacher and I really appreciate that. I’m using your tip about planting the weight on the left leg sooner which opens the left hip up and it’s created more power for me. I also love the tip about straight lines with the legs. Never thought about it that way but it’s helped me from sliding side to side. Thanks!!!
Thanks Danny, it's so helpful to watch you Videos on Golf lessons... The push pull drill helped me immensely, keep up the good work mate. Appreciate your drills, your passion for the game and your expertise.
Thanks again, good stuff mate!
I put what I learned from this video into my practice today. Sooo helpful! When I remembered to feel the pressure and 'push' my hip back, I had consistently solid hits with far less effort. It felt great! I love how you explain and simplify the subtle details. Thank you! Super helpful!
Wonderful!
I have to give you props, Danny. I've been a subscriber to your videos and, as a result of the instruction that you provided today, especially, I enjoyed a stupendous round. My ball striking, with the exception of my driver (which still needs work), was on the mark. The tip regarding the take away was the game changer. Thank you, once again for the generosity, as well as, the time and effort that you expended in making these videos available to hackers like me! Thanks, again. You have a tremendous talent and I appreciate you sharing it. Cheers, ~dirk
Danny, your enthusiasm and energy towards the game is absolutely infectious. Your videos have helped me so much. Seriously, I owe you beer.
My pleasure, I look forward to it
I kept coming back to this video during the winter months as I think Danny Maude is by far the best golf instructor I've ever watched. Having worked to mentally "ingrain" his instructions, I'm ready to hit the course this spring with greater confidence than ever before.
thats great, have fun
As an amateur golfer with plenty of (golf) issues, I have to say this is one of the best 15 mins of instruction I've seen. Amateur brains (at least mine) wrongly think that 'hanging back' should help get the the ball into the air - rather than thinking the club can only do its work if one commits to the swing by moving weight as you describe. Thanks for this - great stuff!
It’s my pleasure David, thanks for taking the time to feedback
I want to say thank you Danny so much for this video. This has been a real eye opener especially for driver getting the weight on to the left side and still being able to hit up on the ball. Bravo to you. Finally someone explains this in clear exact detail.
Thank you Danny for your excellent videos. I stumbled upon them quite inadvertently and I'm so happy I did! You explain the mechanics clearly and have a knack for illustrating the "feel" of doing it correctly, very key for feedback. I'm a senior golfer with some flexibility issues, your videos are easily adaptable for my swing. Keep up the great work!
I had taken a few lessons and for the first time in my life I finally had a decent swing. Then I went to the range 2x and something was off, way off. It was as if I had never taken a lesson. I took a day off watched this video and went out to the range. Not only was my swing back, but it was better. Much better. Thanks Danny!
Awesome Chris, thanks for taking the time to share
Thank you again Danny! You described my problem as well exactly to the T. I’ll be heading off to the driving range tomorrow to give it a go! Really appreciate all these very detailed instructional videos which have helped my game improve over the past years. You’ve got a lifelong fan in me!
Finally someone explaining the golf swing clear and simple, thank you!
Hope it helps your golf Jose
Simply brilliant Danny. This is the best golf lesson I have ever seen and the key to unlock the secret so many of us amateur golfers deperately need. THANK YOU!!!
Happy to help 👍
The most difficult part of this move is to be patient with the hands or the mind doesn't trust the move, so it throws the hands. If the hands (throwing/flipping the club) take over, the hips and upper body will not move, they become the pivot point for the arms and hands instead of the body... I am a bit lazy, I have a tendency to swing to the ball and quit. I'm not finishing the swing (at best a lazy follow through), when I execute this move correctly the follow through is effortless. The swing momentum produces a full follow through. My follow through is my best swing analyzer, If I get handsy or flip the club, I have no follow through, if I swing to hard I'm off balance... Thanks for posting...
So interesting to hear this. I do exactly the same. Good insight about the follow through being a natural by product of correct hitting. I will be more aware of this going forward

네 네 가지 경우
Love the videos I come here and learn so much, however, I do not tell my friends about you yet. My handicap went from a 20 to a 12 this summer do far. Every week my game gets better, I am hoping to get to a 10 by September.
Danny Maude best instructor videos.
Rick Shiels & Jamie Robinson, best review guys.
Liam Harrison, best video about golfing with friends and having a laugh.
Keep up the videos for us weekend hackers.
Ahh thank you Jeff
I’ve been watching tip videos forever. You my friend, are the best at them.
Love the simplicity.
Your illustration of the golf club face/shaft angle to the ball really made it clear to me why I hit the ground first sometimes. Thanks
Hi Danny,
Just a short note to add my experience with pushing back on the lead foot instead of using the turning concept. I agree but the key to pushing back the lead hip is to ensure pressure is on the front balls of the lead foot when you do so as this greatly adds to the ability to push back the lead hip. If the pressure is on the heel of the lead foot, pushing back the hip is much more difficult to get the lead hip out of the way and creating space..
Great point Harold, thanks for sharing
Whether you're striking the ball thin, a little fat, pretty solid...
Oh yes 😁
As someone who is teaching themselves how to golf, your videos like this have been instrumental in my rapid success. Thank you and keep up the great videos man.
Jin Yang amazing to hear, thanks for sharing
Thanks again Danny. Managed to take a compliment of your lessons and methods to the range over the past few weeks. Pleasantly found myself scoring and had many, many more than normal opportunities to score this past weekend - Sat/Sun in Colorado. You're IT moving forward!
Danny, l practically have watched all your videos and l can’t thank you enough for how you eliminate all the technicality and make it so simple to understand.
Putting pressure on your leading foot then push your hips has really helped me strike the ball more consistently than ever before. Thank you and thank you!
Zee.
That’s great Zee, thanks for taking the time to share
Danny, you have had some excellent instructional videos, but this one, by far, is the best yet! Really, and excellent description of the power portion of the swing. The phrase you used, "Push Back", on your lead foot is a true eye-opener. It will hopefully help my iron and driver play. Cheers Mate!
Danny gives the best , easiest tips to understand. Really like his stuff and it has helped a lot.
Thank you Shawm really appreciate the support
Great explanation & demonstration of the body motion to execute the swing. Best I've seen. Period!
Danny, you are the best! I recommend you to everyone. You keep it simple and understandable. You have changed my game. I just need to remember these basics.
Really kind of you John, really happy to help
This drill made the mental link I needed to improve my swing. Excellent work Danny!
Love the simplification of the hip movement. Pushing it back and not "rotating" it really works! Thank you!!
You're so welcome Lan
Great as always Danny. Love how you talk about feel! Greetings from Southern California.
Great advice Danny played yesterday and done some of the things you said and played one of my best rounds playing again tomorrow will do what you are showing on this video thanks chap keep up the good work. 👌👍🏌️♂️⛳
Your swing is very concise. It's a really easy and easy to learn swing. The results of the practice were very good. thank you
Wow great video Danny ! Now I know the patterns on how to hit irons and driver, love the simple drills and feels you give mate!
This is the best golf instruction I have ever seen. You are an amazing teacher.
Really kind William, thank you
Danny, you are amazing. Always full of enthusiasm. And you simplify the various aspects of the swing to easy to execute motions.
I remain a big fan. My hcp is down to 11 from 17 after I started watching your vids. Thank you!
Thats great! I'm glad the videos are working
Danny, I followed this advice today while playing my first 18 hole round in 2020. It really helped me hit the ball longer and straighter. This lesson is easy to understand and follow. Thank you!
That’s great Steve, thanks for sharing
This single video has shown me more than the previous 20 I’ve watched. Thank you!
Really happy to help
After discovering Danny yesterday, I hit the range with a few of his drills for your driver and after half an hour I was driving better than I ever have before. Thanks Danny!
Amazing to hear Blake, thank you for taking the time to feedback
By far the best vid I've seen on this topic. Thanks Danny 👍
Wow, thanks! Happy to help
I’ve been absent for a while, so it it soooo good to see that your lessons are simply the best.
Gerry
Great to have you back Gerry
Thanks Danny! Your explanation is priceless. You explain all the technicalities into layman's terms. Understanding the fundamentals is a lot easier than remembering them!
My pleasure! Thanks for the support
As always, a topnotch video. I always knew about "stacking" above the ball with your left leg, but the sheer brilliance of this video is teaching the difference between clearing your hips and pushing back with the left foot. What a smart tip! I'm inconsistent with my irons--on one day and way off the next--but this tip should really help. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial Danny! So simplistic in your methodology and look forward to trying it tomorrow here in Sydney Australia
I found this video incredibly helpful. I've been (kinda-sorta) self discovering some of these swing mechanic issues (slowly over many years) but you put it in such simple and easy to understand words and logic. Your videos also leave me feeling confident in what I am trying to do...which is a big part of improving (rather than self-doubt). Huge THANK YOU to you for the simple, excellent instruction.
It’s my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to comment
I wish I found you earlier man, this stuff is gold for someone brand new to the game. I said it on another video, but your analogy of throwing a ball and the golf swing has just made the whole thing click in my head.
Thank you Danny, very well done and simplified. Great approach. Excellent demos.
This has got to be one of your best training videos. I struggle a bit with my back and have lost distance with drives and irons over last two years. I played a few rounds recently combining these techniques with your ‘best senior swing’ technique (right foot back and flared etc). The results were excellent. More consistent straight drives and irons with added distance. Sometimes I do not move the left leg back enough or quick enough on the down swing so end up chunking the ball or pulling left so I need to keep working on that. Always used to try and move the weight from right to left (I am a right hander) turning the hips and I just used to keep thinning irons or hitting them heavy and also lost distance with my drives. This has fixed everything. Thanks Danny !
Thats brilliant to hear Howard, really happy to hear its helping
I watch a tonne of your videos, and a lot have added something to my game but this one single handedly has improved it the most, so much more consistent...thanks a lot
Thanks Martin happy to help 👍
Thank you for all the info, I’ve been watching all your videos and can’t get enough of all this valuable knowledge you give!! Very much appreciated!!
My pleasure Victor, all the very best
This will be the first video that I watch. I'm going to start using your instruction and hopefully in the next few weeks I can see some improvements. Thank you for your time and what you do on this channel thank you.
My pleasure Christian, welcome to the channel
Hi Danny - I'm not often moved to write comments on your tube videos but honestly this video has changed my swing like you wouldn't believe - Its given me a simple swing thought to really get the rotation in the hips which I was really struggling with and has changed my impact like you wouldn't believe - straight up saved my golf game.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Stevie, really appreciate the feedback
As always, GREAT lesson Danny! Thank you so much!
Bill
My pleasure Bill, loving your thumbnail image
Danny I'VE been using your training for several years and I have improved in my game. Your "hit the ball then turf" really worked for me and now i'm hoping that the back spine will start to begin. You are my favorite trainer! Thanks!
Great to have you here Frederick
Probably the best video I’ve ever seen in terms of simplifying the mechanics of the swing and using the ball throwing and frisbee technique visuals and loading the front foot! Wow! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will be sharing with my boys!
You are very welcome Jason, hope it helps
Tremendous video Danny. So easy to understand. You really have a gift with this.
Really kind thank you, hope it helps your ball striking
I’m working this every day. Thanks, Danny.
My pleasure Ralph, really happy to help
Wow, your last two lessons have been amazing, changed my range work yesterday, and taking this to the course today, thanks a million, changed my ball sticking completely, so 😀
That’s so good to hear Ian, well done. Thanks for sharing
I *think* this is the first time I’ve ever commented on a video but I had to say something. I’ve been golfing since I was 13 (I’m 30 now) and have essentially been a double/triple bogey golfer the whole time. Since I’ve found your channel and practiced all of the drills that you so kindly release for free, my golf game has improved exponentially. I broke 90 for the first time ever yesterday and it’s all thanks to you. You’re the best!! Can’t wait to keep practicing and improving with your drills. I was so excited about my score that I booked a tee time for tomorrow morning. Let’s see if it was just a fluke! Hahah.
Awesome game plan, been struggling w this for awhile, easy and excellently explained!!!
Danny, a million thanks. I have been working on my backswing to downswing transition, trying to get more consistency. Trued so many tweaks to my swing over the past few weeks. And in 15 mins of watching your video, the light bulb went off. The reminder of throwing a ball was the solution. Went to the range and it just works. The 3 tips you gave just worked. i am now striking the ball more pure, more consistent. a million thanks !!
Thats great to hear Andrew, well done
good enthusiasm; I like the throwing ball technique. Simple and effective. Cheers
Great simple drills and have seen amazing gains in my golf swing!
Great tips again Danny. I am certainly seeing vast improvements in my connecting with the ball correctly. Irons especially are now being hit with far more confidence. 🦘😀🦘
Great thanks, glad its working for you 👍
I have been saying for 7 years now that there is a missing link in my golf swing that is preventing me from improving. This video was exactly it!! I knew it had to be in my timing or transfer in weight. Congratulations, you have finally gotten through to me and I am so excited! I have gained incredible yardage. I mean, so much yardage I have took look twice! My hope has been to be in the mid to low 40's and competitive with my friends and I actually feel like I have a chance now. I also watched your "Best Rotation Drill" which just solidified it all. Thank you so very much!! I will continue to explore your videos.
Bev Barney lovey to hear 😁
Hello Sir: I discovered your video today and it made my day. I've been struggling with iron play this summer to the point where I'm not having fun. I took your lesson to the driving range this morning and immediately noticed a difference. I'm looking forward to going back tomorrow to work on it further. Thanks for sharing this video...perfect timing for me and saved me from throwing my clubs into the pond.
That’s brilliant Stephen, well done
Thanks as always, Danny. That push back instruction really clicked with me. Best, Ari
You are so welcome!
Thanks. I'm new and you make it look so easy can't wait to apply these drills.
A friend of mine who is a 4 handicap pro recommended your videos. I've had good help from them, thanks Danny.
That’s great Tyler, really happy to help
Thanks Danny, another excellent video 👏🏻
Best explanation of 'stack & tilt' I've seen. Great video Danny, many tks.
You are very welcome, Glad you enjoyed it!
Danny, brilliant as always. Very informative and full of details. Love it!
Ian Murray glad you liked it 👍
fantastic description, thanks Danny
Thank you Danny, great lesson for me. Hard as I try I NEVER get to hit into the turf with my irons, am always about an inch or more ABOVE the ground, hanging back of course !, with the results you can easy guess. I am going to begin practicing the forward push. Look easy from your side, will see !!
Good Morning Danny! Great new feeling, have to work on this, but ist makes THE difference! 💪🤛. Looking forward to the next training.
Morning! 😁 see you shortly just having some toast 👊
I’m a new golfer and your instructions are fabolous - use them all the time and it really helps me improve fast👌Thanks from Annika in Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪
Happy to help 😁
Great imagery. I like how you relate throwing a ball, which we've all done lots of times, to hitting a golf ball. really simple stuff that's easy to remember. Thanks, and keep up the great instructions!
My pleasure Jack, hope it helsp
Great lesson as always Danny. Been playing 6 years now and still learning. Thank You
Always learning , thanks for the feedback
Powerful lesson Danny. It will help many. Thanks for your efforts and take care.
Glad you enjoyed it Glenn, happy to help
