I’ve watched so many golf pros on UA-cam and I really think that Danny Maude is the best. Simple and straightforward. I like to have the thought that my arms are relaxed and heavy when I hit a fairway wood.
Went to the range yesterday and used your lesson from last week, free flowing swing and don't worry about the direction the ball might go... what a difference! I was hitting it straight and long, actually much more consistent then when I was focused on trying to hit it straight! Great lessons and can't wait to work on this part of my game! Thank you!
My brother in law took me golfing and I’ve fallen in love with it ever since. Just got my own clubs and watching your videos really helps me understand a lot! Thank you so much!
This advice is just what I would have asked for!! I struggle so much with my hybrids/FWs that I rarely use them unless it is an slightly uphill lie - I almost invariably top or thin my shots along the ground when the ball is level or slightly downhill, (or above or below the feet). Probably my inexperience means I don't read the lie well enough, and I also think a big point is to have a more relaxed swing rather than trying to hit it as far as possible. I shall have to rewatch this video in the new year, once I can practice again, as the clubs have been put away now we are close to the Christmas season. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. Have a good Christmas!
Thanks for explaining the "distance from the ball". I knew that already, but I needed to be reminded. After a difficult and inconsistent season I found I was lifting the hands slightly just before takeaway, and rocking back in my heels to compensate for the shallower angle between forearms and shaft. Clearly a formula for inconsistent strikes. Now I'll try going "back to basics" to solve my confusion about "distance from the ball".
Gday Danny. Have been watching your videos recently and they’ve been helping my swing so much. I watched your channel before I went out today and got my first ever hole in one!!!!!!!!! Cheers for all your help
A few months ago I started watching your videos. ......I blame you for being back on the golf course after 24 years Your teaching and presentation skills are immaculate. You make complex issues easy to understand Thank you
I like this one. I think I constantly don’t trust my swing and setup so I ALWAYS compensate by flicking the wrists or early extending. I’m just so afraid of burying my club or leaving the face wide open that I feel like I have to adjust during the swing. What you said here makes a lot of sense. Get all of the setup pieces right, and you can just trust that your swing will do the work. Gonna have to try this out. I think I constantly rush my setup..
Danny Maude's video's have enable me to identify what I have been doing wrong and how to correct. Personally watching new content, not implementing until I have internalized the other 2 videos. IMHO gets the why of a problem quicker, and the remedy quicker than other online coaches. Thanks Danny.
Love your videos Danny, always simple and straight forward and hopefully easy to put into practice. You never make it too complicated. A big thankyou . Going to try and put this into practice this week.
Perfect timing Danny I was hit and miss with my fairway wood yesterday. Had a good round but could have been even better if not for a couple of duff fairway woods. I must admit I never check my arms are aligned like in your lesson so will do that tomorrow. Thanks as always. Have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thanks to you my wedge game is on point at the mo. I'm keeping about a 10 foot dispersion over 80-90 yards and I'm striking the ball beautifully. I sold my irons earlier in the year, so now my plan is to just add one or two irons and not add any more until I've mastered those ones. I think I need to concentrate on hanging the arms and getting the right distance from the ball because my wedge play definitely does not translate to longer clubs. I still have a 5 wood so will take it to the range with me next time. Thanks, and Happy Christmas, Danny & family!
Danny: I have Mavrik 4 & 5 Fairway woods. They are my favorite clubs and I hit them pretty well. This vid will help a lot, however, especially "assessing the lie." I've started doing that and if I don't have a clean lie, I bring out a hybrid. Thanks for your insights and help. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Golfing New Year!
You made that look so easy Danny. One thing you have taught me is to keep compact when swinging. By that I mean arm tucked in and elbow not pointing outward. I have struggled hitting my woods on the fairway, admittingly I don't always check my lie. Stay well and Merry Christmas 🎄
Terrific reinforcement lesson. I played in Cancun last week and absolutely flushed a four-wood off a tight lie, which is normally hard for me. Your weather looks reasonable. Merry Christmas to you and yours Danny. I appreciate you.
Merry Christmas happy new year. May your family and friends be very happy. Look forward to next year to help my game get a little bit better thank you.
Good morning Danny. Many thanks for all the great videos and content during the year. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you and your family. Cheers from NL.
‘Danny, thank you so much for all of your videos. You are amazing. I have a video series recommendation-What do you do when everything falls apart with your swing and ball striking?” I think we have all been there where one day you go to the driving range and you just can’t hit the ball, and you have no clue what you are doing wrong.
Merry Christmas Danny to you and your family. Your lessons have greatly reduced my frustration level with the game, and my blood pressure as a result :)
To enable them to hit the ball with a descending blow, most amateur golfers improve their striking of the ball with fairway woods and hybrids by moving the ball further back in their stance - ie nearer to the centre - and from years and years of experience they find that this is the best solution to achieving a good ball flight, as it is much easier than trying to control the bottom of the swing further forward under the lead shoulder whilst at the same time NOT trying to lift the ball into the air.
Cool video. Could you do a video on ball above/below your feet and ball on uphill/downhill lie? There's so many adjustments to make it gets complicated. Thank you Danny.
Hi Danny! You videos are such a great help! You mention reaching for higher lofter hybrids for poorer lies. I don't have any in my bag but I do carry a 7 wood and a nine wood. Can these be as effective as a hybrid for these tougher lies?
Another great video, easy to understand, I have one problem with fairway woods /3 wood / 5 wood , my launch angle is far to high , from fairway and off the tee, lose bucket loads of distance
@ no real marks on the tops of the club, looking at trackman data I think I’m playing the ball to far forward in my stance, I have the same problem with my mid / short irons , think I need to go back to the beginning and have a complete reset .
Two things I've found helps with 3 woods and hybrids is I'm not trying to swing down too much with a 3 wood. I almost want to sweep it off the ground. So I try to take my club back almost brushing the ground for as long as possible (it's not really doing that it's just a mental picture) and the second thing is I want a full release as you demonstrated. I almost want to forget the ball is there. When I do this (which is not all the time) I usually make excellent contact and hit a bit of a very slight push draw. Now to just do it every time instead of every second time...
Who are those lucky students to get one on one lessons qith you?? How can we be part of that lucky .000001%? Love your videos, by far the most helpful I have ever found!!
Another great lesson Danny! Been wanting to ask you. I’m 5’6” tall. Do you think shortening my driver shaft would be helpful? It feels like it takes for ever to get to the ball when I swing the club!
I’m not sure, I don’t really think about it. I just think momentum. I suppose I want to swing the club head freely and so it stays under some degree of control I use my bigger muscles to take it away
@ thanks. That is so important for me to take away. I’ve been playing well but yesterday was shocking. Thinking way way too much. Thanks and wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a very successful and happy new year.
The thought that helped me stop topping these clubs is to have ball in middle of stance and sweep the ball with the top of the clubface level with the top of the ball at impact. Face of club is about same size as the diameter of the ball.
Always remember the club head is naturally heading down towards the ground. You just need to make sure your pelvis and upper body are far enough forward to strike the ball first
In 2025 I’m rebuilding this part of my bag and this lesson will follow me to the range. Thanks as always Danny! Merry Christmas to you and your family and I hope 2025 is your best year yet.
All the best for you and your family for Christmas thanks for your infectious coaching to us all ,you certainly resonate with all golfers.As normal your content is first class beers up Danny 👏👏🍻🍻
In this scenario you should be hitting whatever club will leave you at your favourite yardage; ie I know my 110-100 yard shot is a dart so I would hit a nice easy 5 iron from there and give myself a solid chance at an easy birdie putt.
Your swing is so easy - which is exactly your point..it flows. I’ve not been hitting my hybrids so well recently and your video has made me realise why..Happy Golfing in 2025
I began playing golf around the time Covid was happening. I was never able to hit fairway woods and it got to the point I didn't even bother keeping them in my bag. Then a couple seasons ago I began to work on it in the offseason, I took lessons and practiced a lot. I found that I was doing 2 things wrong...but the main thing was that (like a lot of people), I was trying to help the ball into the air and I had my right hand too far under the club. When I moved my hand around to a weaker position, more on top of the club, it was almost like a reminder to put some downward pressure on the shot. I was always topping the fairway woods, swinging too hard and trying to help the ball up. But once I got over the fear of hitting the ground (which of course you have to do), I began to hit better shots! There are lots of potential causes for people who can't hit their woods, but if I can figure it out, anyone can! :)
300yds out I'm never hitting wood, 5 iron, GW seems a better option to me as long as hazards don't come into play. Something's gone very wrong if I'm 300yds out for GIR.
I had a really crappy lie on a par 5 about 250 yards out off bare dirt that I hit about 30 yards. The next attempt was off a great lie. I hit a fantastic, straight arcing shot... and JUST HAD TO hit the tree barely in play. I thought there would be no way I'd hit that tree but sure enough...
I’ve watched so many golf pros on UA-cam and I really think that Danny Maude is the best. Simple and straightforward. I like to have the thought that my arms are relaxed and heavy when I hit a fairway wood.

My go to strategy for hitting my 3 wood is to make sure the face is clean, then put it back in the bag and take out the 4 iron
😂
Wonderful video Danny!! Thank you...
Glad you enjoyed it Danny
Thanks Danny! Great swing thoughts as always. Hope to see you in Manhattan Beach soon

Assessing the lie is very important and tension free arms and using your lower body as the main power source will help.

Always remember the club head is naturally heading down towards the ground. You just need to make sure your pelvis and upper body are far enough forward to strike the ball first

At this time of the year in UK winter rules mean you can move the ball if there is a better lie within 6 inches no nearer the pin.
Absolutely, makes things much easier

Great video, Danny. I guess where I am stuck is: If you are still 300 yards away and not on the fairway/not a good lie, would you move to a low iron?
In this scenario you should be hitting whatever club will leave you at your favourite yardage; ie I know my 110-100 yard shot is a dart so I would hit a nice easy 5 iron from there and give myself a solid chance at an easy birdie putt.
GREAT JOB TODAY....
Thank you Jay, hope it helps
Your swing is so easy - which is exactly your point..it flows. I’ve not been hitting my hybrids so well recently and your video has made me realise why..Happy Golfing in 2025
You prefer the Mavrik to the Qi10?
Love it, hence hanging on to it for a few years now
I have my PxG 3 and 5 woods lofted up one click and an old TM 7 wood
Copes with most situations
Great tips Danny. Also, don't forget to shift your weight forward or you'll still top it.
Absolutely 👍
@@DanielMaude I wish you great Holidays and all the best for the new year. Keep up the good work.
This is a great lesson that many people ignore. Manage the course. The lie got me so many times in the early years
@jzmouse8842 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Preferred lies in the U.K. in winter or on mats.
It is now Brian, with poor grass growth it’s much needed
I began playing golf around the time Covid was happening. I was never able to hit fairway woods and it got to the point I didn't even bother keeping them in my bag. Then a couple seasons ago I began to work on it in the offseason, I took lessons and practiced a lot. I found that I was doing 2 things wrong...but the main thing was that (like a lot of people), I was trying to help the ball into the air and I had my right hand too far under the club. When I moved my hand around to a weaker position, more on top of the club, it was almost like a reminder to put some downward pressure on the shot. I was always topping the fairway woods, swinging too hard and trying to help the ball up. But once I got over the fear of hitting the ground (which of course you have to do), I began to hit better shots! There are lots of potential causes for people who can't hit their woods, but if I can figure it out, anyone can! :)

@@DanielMaude yeah.... very simple....
Danny you should do some golf schools in California, lots of people would come! Schools get around $2-3k for a 3 day school
Something I will certainly organise at some point maybe next year
Hi Danny.thanks for another great lesson, look forward to more lessons in 2025,
Really appreciate your support this year Steve thank you
300yds out I'm never hitting wood, 5 iron, GW seems a better option to me as long as hazards don't come into play.
Something's gone very wrong if I'm 300yds out for GIR.
R those 5 year old mavrik fairway woods you are hitting Danny? Or is this an old video
They are what I still use, love them

Any change to cover equipment selection at some stage? Say once every 6 months
Hi Johan, it’s not really my area of expertise but happy to integrate bits in like I’ve done here
Why do I keep getting the low hooks? Please help 😢
The club face is very closed at impact. The very first thing to do is to double check all the basics at set up
