Before Chipping Onto The Green Do This Simple Drill

Your lessons with your dad are the best! I get so much out of them! And the two of you are just plain wonderful

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Martha! Appreciate the wonderful compliment 😁

[@jwhartwayne]

Danny Maude is one of the best if not the best golf instructors on the internet or KZbin. I’m a very good player but always looking for instruction that reinforces good practice and a way to dial it back in from a checkpoint perspective when old habits creep back into the game. Its also nice to be able to relay an instruction like this to a new player looking for help. What a great video of instruction. Love how he helps his own dad. Danny, you have a great heart!

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind of you to feedback James

[@MartinG-vq8ji]

I agree 💯

[@leonardhandzlik6008]

Love the videos with your Dad. My Dad was always my favorite golf partner. How lucky you are to still have your Dad to play golf with. Mine passed when I was 43, and now at 81, I still haven't found a better golf partner. Of course, as an older golfer, I always find your videos helpful. Keep them coming Danny, especially the ones with your Dad.

[@jimmywethington964]

doing several of his drills has improved my game 100%. I turned 63 this year and am playing my best golf ever. Tied my lowest score ever. He's changed me from a life long slicer to now hitting the ball straight as an arrow most times. Chipping is my weakest link, I'm definitely going to try this method.

[@jayolson3866]

Agree 💯

[@enensis]

You are so lucky to have a dad still around to enjoy golf with. Watching this brings a smile to my face, you two are great together. Also thanks for the tips. I tried this out in the garden and hit nearly every chop perfectly straight and to where I wanted it to go.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you and well done 🙌

[@JFredick]

Honestly Danny, you need to feature your father more regularly. It is wonderful watching him improve from your lessons and it’s heartwarming as well as inspiring. His lack of practice time is an issue facing all of us. I will be putting these tips to work because I will be recalling your knowledge and thinking of your father at the same time. You both are a dynamic team and memory aid this way. You don’t need me to tell you that you are a lucky son.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you, always great to get to spend time on the course with him

EXCELLENT, EASY TO FOLLOW ADVICE. Lovely to see your dad's face light up when he chips well. A GREAT TEACHER CAN SPOT A FAULT & PROVIDE A SIMPLE CURE. Full marks to both of you. I & many golfers will be able to improve our chipping.

[@DanielMaude]

Was great to help him out Kc 😁

[@RG-5834]

It must be so satisfying to be able to help your dear Father save valuable shots in a round of golf. Brilliant, easy to follow instruction on the short game around the greens! It seems that your Dad doesn’t need any help in putting! Thanks Danny, this shows how important it is to make solid contact, especially when chipping!

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, Dad will still need to practice to rebuild his confidence but he’s well on his way now

[@johnritchie8336]

Lovely lesson again with your Dad. Great clarity in this - I’ll be on it this weekend in the garden.

[@DanielMaude]

It was great to see him getting his confidence back. It will take some practice and time for him to fully gain it in competitions but he’s now on his way

[@davidgc4396]

Fantastic video Danny. It was exactly what I was doing wrong with my setup and right wrist. I just practiced what you said with amazing results in the backyard. I am playing tomorrow morning and I will be chipping better using this method. Thanks for your help Danny 😊

Fantastic! Love to hear how you get on

Hi Danny, This is a wonderful lesson. Short game is a make or break play for us - club golfers. Getting a good shot with these tips are going to reduce at least a shot per hole. Thanks a ton. Keep it going, Danny, you are making a great difference to our games.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Tony 😁

[@TeddyCavachon]

I just watched your short game lesson from a year ago with Pete Cowen. In it, up until the 8:30 mark, you also were not lifting your back foot through impact. After the 8:30 point you did start lifting the back and your ball striking and directional control improved as here with the club under the heel of the trail foot drill. I’ve spent a good bit of time over the years experimenting with all the bio-mechanical variables in the golf swing and think the flair and lifting action of the back foot are two of the most critical in terms of controlling direction consistently. Keeping the back foot flat on the ground restricts hip rotation, why the heel needs to lift through impact to keep body and hands moving at a constant radius around the center of rotation. The flare angle of the back foot will affect both how much the hips can turn open in the backswing before leg torque stops the rotation and how the back foot peels up off the ground. Most golfers today square both feet to the swing line as if it the eleventh commandment engraved on some stone tablet, but since most have a naturally flared walking gait to some degree it will cause restriction in the hip turn in the backswing and cause the foot to stay flat as it comes up which affects how the trail leg bends and the hips turn. The goal shouldn’t be how to set the feet but rather the desired action of the body in the swing so it made sense to me to experiment with various flare angles of MY feet (which flare a lot in my walking gait) until I got the ideal turning of the body and hands. Because of my natural gait I find I get better movement starting from a slightly flared back foot. That way as the heel lifts contact with the ground stays on the inside of the foot making the release of the hips into the finish more controlled, especially in partial swing shots.

[@carlosGarcia-xl1ql]

[@terrancej3736]

Thank you. I enjoy the respect that you and your Dad have for one another, and being in his age group I relate and learn so much from your instruction with him. At 77 I still like to walk when the course is build for it, I work out and stay in good physical shape, but have lost a lot of distance off the usual white tees and now moving to front tees to make 4s and 5s in regulation with my approach being with an iron - although I'm more relaxed and scoring and enjoying more like I used to, I'm still not sure if it's age and/or something I've lost from my driver .... any comment or suggestions?

[@michaeltruesdell826]

Great tips, especially enjoy seeing you and your father.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Michael 😁

[@staeker33]

Danny: you are my favorite golf teacher. One thing I would like to see is that you mentioned what club are you using in your videos. Is it #9 or a Pitching W. Or a 54 degrees ? Please identify your clubs. Thank you. Ramón from Mexico City

[@bradyadams512]

Love the chipping lessons. One of the biggest problems I have is with a wedge from tight lies. I'd rather use my wedges from the short rough rather than the fairway. I'll give this a shot and see if that helps me figure it out. Also, thanks for the tip on high loft for emergencies as opposed to always using it from close in.

[@nickrust5080]

Danny keep featuring you dad you'll make him a tube star⭐⭐

This really works. I tried it out on the golf course last time I played and hit my chips much better. Still need help on distance control/speed, but the impact was much improved.

[@steveburke2169]

is the takeaway angle that you used to avoid striking the cane also applicable to longer irons as well as chipping or are we looking to flatten it out a bit? Great lesson as usual Danny !

Brilliant lesson Danny. I cant believe the difference in my chipping now. They are even checking on the green. Just one question im confused with, at what distance do you not use the bounce and just use the wedge like a normal shot?
