Better Ball Striking Just Happens When You Do This

[@kennethgreenwalt595]

Hi Danny, Sr golfer (73) from Florida. I've been following you for a couple of years now and felt compelled to write. I have always been mid handicap golfer, and as I have grown older started suffering from poor /inconsistent contact. I watched the video on "Better Ball Striking Just happens when you do this" and I have to say it's been a revelation! I never could figure out how to hit the ball with my body instead of arms but after watching this and the one tip that was magic to my swing (rotating the trail arm up at address). I have had the best ball striking of my life! Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

So awesome to hear Kenneth, thanks for taking the time to share

[@stevemccabe3028]

Danny, yesterday our golf club had a Super Bowl party and a $5 round. I was horrible. Then I got out my iPhone and pulled up this video, and presto salvaged the round. 🙏🏻 0:06

[@brettcollins724]

One word Danny -- WOW. So simple & yet so effective. Brilliant coaching

[@DanielMaude]

Glad you enjoyed it Brett

[@phillip4760]

Danke!

[@alank0406]

Absolute gold as always Danny! You have improved my game so much this year, managed to break 100 for the first time and went on to hit a couple of 95’s & a 93. Hoping to break 90 next year.

[@DanielMaude]

Nice work Alan and Happy New Year 🥳

[@333brooky]

Thanks Danny simples and easy to follow as always!

[@grahamtaylor5508]

Danny Boyle, this has to be one of your best vidéos for me. I have never really had a good finish but this Idea of starting from the finish is a light bulb moment for me. Still need a lot more work on this but I feel confident that it will help me enormously. Ta !

[@StuartBrown-w9u]

This video, Better Ball Striking Just Happens When You Do This, is BRILLIANT! I have taken its lessons to the range and the course with phenomenal results. Today, I had my best round ever, hitting more greens in regulation and with significantly improved ball flight. I have actually gained 15-20 yards per club compared to how I hit prior to studying (and I mean studying) the lesson. The swing is indeed repeatable and minimizes the room for error. Danny, I can't thank you enough. I have watched many of your videos; this is the BEST.

[@BrianCotterill-f9s]

Hi Danny, another senior here (71). On holiday in Oz visiting family and using old 2nd hand golf clubs, which finding difficult to hit, but used your pre shot drill and probably hit straighter and further for about 70% of the time , so looking forward in doing same in UK with my normal clubs. Also found that I did not have any lower back pain after the game, which I have suffered with over last few months. Brilliant video Danny as usual - Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

So good to hear…enjoy your time in OZ weather is very chilly 🥶 here

[@ronmullard5718]

Have a great Christmas and new year....thanks for this years content here's to more next year....

[@keithfraley4408]

Brilliant video and instruction, you always have a way to keep it simple..

[@DanielMaude]

Really so my best for you 🙏

[@MichaelSmith-kt1uy]

This video drastically helped my swing and ball striking. Before this video I couldn’t get a consistent strike, I was slicing and hooking shots and I didn’t feel confident at all hitting the ball. Just by slowing down and shortening my backswing, paired with practicing how I turn my body through the shot just resulted in me hitting pure draws down the range with my irons. Cheers Danny absolute legend

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome to hear Michael well done

[@geoffbowers6082]

Thanks

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Geoff thank you

[@jayaaron7398]

Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Jay thank you

[@jeffsharp6798]

Thanks Danny. This is straightforward to understand. The idea that you “reverse engineer” the swing, starting at the position that you want to be in at the end, is probably the best and only thought that I need. I’m a regular viewer and this is one of the best videos for me. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and New Year.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Jeff and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@alexjohan204]

Hi Jeff, ther is a dutch guy who is saying the same look for “het nieuwe golfen”

[@paulmount1119]

As always a great and simple Video! Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Paul, all the best

[@mikoberts]

Great tip Danny - I think the ‘rehearse the end position and let your body figure out the rest’ is a great way of taking away ask those distracting swing thoughts when addressing the ball.

[@johnschwartz1536]

What an excellent drill for both irons and driver for better ball striking! I like the idea of a post impact "weight forward" and then pivot drill because I think sometime I don't get through the ball as best that I could! Well Done Danny! Always learning and validating in watching your videos!

[@DanielMaude]

Super kind thank you

[@donnnannen7018]

Another great, great video Danny! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[@DanielMaude]

Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙏

[@johnoruns3708]

So simple yet so great the impact and the consistency one craves. Thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

You're very welcome John

[@PaulRotheram]

Danny - just want to say thank you for this. I’ve had a weird hook for the last couple of week and and really been struggling. I took a face on video of my swing and it showed the breakdown of the club overtaking my arm as you showed, I followed your tip and it’s worked wonders today, and I now have a fantastic pre swing feel to use.

[@MichaelReid-bx6rz]

One of the best & most simple instructions to follow & improve your game.

[@peterathens6060]

Thanks Danny! Love how you focus on nice, simple feels.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Pete

[@bryang949]

One of the most insightful and useful instructional videos I have seen in a long time - thank you!!

[@DanielMaude]

Glad it was helpful Bryan

[@Leipuanani]

Thank you, Danny! You've helped me so much!

[@DanielMaude]

Happy to help! Happy Christmas

[@Leipuanani]

@@DanielMaude Happy Christmas to you too, Danny!😊

[@kevinerskine3299]

Can't wait to try this. I've never seen anyone start with the finish.

[@DanielMaude]

Hope it works for you Kevin 👍

[@rodfoster8603]

Danny, genius teaching. As always your simplicity has improved my golf and this one will certainly help even more.

[@DanielMaude]

Super kind Rod, really happy to help

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you for another very helpful tip. I will emphasise the 3 0'clock position on the way to a full follow through. Hopefully the strike position will come almost without thinking. I hope you & your family have a great Christmas & good health in 2024. Many thanks for all your great advice.

[@DanielMaude]

And you Alan, I’ve said it many times but I really do appreciate all the support you have given me this year.

[@rodneywilliams-xh1xq]

This lesson is like gold. Wow thank you sir

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Rodney

[@JeffPassageCPA]

Great video! I can practice these drills at Top Golf all winter in preparation for playing in the spring and summer.

[@DanielMaude]

Hope it works well for you Jeff 👍

[@mrpriceisright]

Going to try this on my golfing buddy who has an all arms swing, with hardly any rotation and chicken wing in the short follow through. Needed something to improve extension and rotation. This looks perfect.

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how he gets on

[@scottyh9513]

nothing short of brilliant danny....put a net up in my garden and been solely practising this movement..it takes away so many variables and makes me feel so relaexed over the ball.too many complex videos on here, but i'mgoing with yours this season. won't watch anyone else now....thank you mate

[@garymarsh235]

Danny, great session. Excellent. Very helpful for a beginner.

[@DanielMaude]

Glad it was helpful Gary

[@kvaillancourt7256]

I love the fact that in your instruction, you don't refer to right or left leg, arm, hip, whatever. Instead, for left-handers such as myself you speak in terms of "lead" arm, "trail" arm, lead foot, etc. This makes your instruction far more efficient than others because the terminology you use is universal and easy to visualize. Keep up the great work!! KD from Canada 🙂

[@abuhamza1970]

Another great video Danny lad. Honestly, I could watch all the other golf videos on KZbin and never get as much knowledge as I can with one of your 10 min videos. Your style, is backed up with the substance of knowledge that can be easily transferred to the student, all delivered with a wonderful Northern twang. As a nervous newbie to the game, you have calmed my nerves by giving me the confidence and assurance that comes with your instruction. Thank you sir for making my first year in the sport such a pleasure. I wish you and your family all the happiness and joy that you deserve in this festive holiday season. ❤

[@DanielMaude]

So lovely to read this thank you for taking the time to share

[@mattkav684]

I've been taking lessons from a local pro, but still watch most of Danny's videos. The concepts from both sources are nearly identical, but Danny sometimes has a little different phrasing or "key" that helps to drive home the points, and additional drills to reinforce what I'm learning. For example: the simple step of pushing the lead hip forward at set-up a bit reinforces and facilitates my teacher's direction to keep my hands ahead of the club head. Nice job here.

[@HTGbiggles]

This drill got my hips and head in a good position at impact to hit the consistent ball flight I've been chasing for months. It corrected a persistent issue of hitting behind the ball with an open club face. Thanks, Danny!

[@GeeZoiks]

Love this, good for both myself to improve consistency and great for my new to golf partner, to help her understand and feel the core of the swing. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how you get on

[@simonfreak1208]

Great video as always. Simple to understand and execute, will definitely try this once the weather gets better. I always struggle to reach the finish position from my practice swings in my normal, often way too stiff real shots. Maybe this helps to focus mainly on the feel of the finish. Merry Christmas to you and your family Danny!!

[@tonytomlin6089]

I love the simplicity of this Danny, cannot wait to get to the range to try this one. Merry Christmas to you sir.

[@DanielMaude]

Merry Christmas Tony 🎄

[@MpenziYako]

Thanks Danny once again a wonderful and really useful instructional video. Your recent videos on striking the ball, together with this, makes a fantastic difference. Thanks a million. Mark

[@DanielMaude]

Very welcome Mark thanks 🙏

[@josemendonca9075]

The best video you ever posted! I’ve improved a lot ! Thanks a lot

[@DanielMaude]

Wow, thanks Jose

[@tonyburt3845]

Great video Danny. I find that by concentrating on having the butt of the club facing back towards my midriff halfway through on the follow through that helps my extension and also eliminates the chicken wing!!

[@jamiesloan7259]

Yes. There’s a reason why my half swing punch shots are perfect strikes. Great stuff!

[@davidphillips5224]

Thanks Danny. Another great video and key to good golf. I came across it myself last year when I analysed why I consistently played decent golf for the first 12 holes but then my round fell apart. I'm 77 years old and I concluded that later in the round as my knackered old body tired I stopped fully using my legs and hips and wasn't reaching the follow through position. Still a struggle but I'm working on it and your video will help. Frustrating game!

[@Stefano50]

Danny, THANK YOU! This is brilliant! As a new golfer, 6 month into lessons here in CT, USA..... I have a FANTASTIC instructor who is bringing me along beautifully into the game..... but I have struggled on my own to get all these sequences right and consistent. I believe your video here exactly addresses my struggle PERFECTLY. Thanks a million........ and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours. Eagerly await more pearls of wisdom in the coming year.

[@bobgornal5184]

What a brilliant video, it's simplicity is belies it's value.

[@ruatoomey9107]

Thanks Danny for all your brilliant tips all year. Happy Christmas

[@DanielMaude]

Same to you! 🎄

Excellent instruction.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s really kind David thank you

[@Chinnookcrazy352]

This is the thing I am struggling with. I love your videos but this is where I’ve been stuck. Can’t wait to try this on the range today and start practicing this! Thanks for such relevant videos!

[@majid5898]

Merry Christmas Danny. Thank you for another great video lesson.

And you Alan 👍

[@cjh6623]

This is fantastic!! Going to the range to try. Thank you, sir!

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how you get on

[@gregvonseeger4098]

Always great instruction Danny! One 'check point' that our course's Pro gave me that helps....is to make sure that the right hip should be pointing at the 'tee position' at the end of each swing. Makes me make a complete rotation and finish with my chest facing my target. Keep up the great videos....some of the 'best' on You Tube!

[@daveweedall4505]

Danny hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a healthy new year. Once again thanks for some great coaching videos your the best on KZbin. Cheers

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Dave and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@marnew1000]

Excellent Danny, thanks going practice this. I’m literally mr break down man, so inconsistent it’s unreal. Love this reversal practice the end, genius…

[@johnwoods8671]

Love it! Thanks a mill Danny, looking forward to practicing this lesson.

Merry Christmas, Danny. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Thank you for all your help. It's probably 1 of the best gifts I will get this year.

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Randy thank you. And you too

[@user-cd8it3hk9g]

Hi Danny. Your tips are gold! So easy to follow and implement. I’ve always found the short game is where I cost myself shots. Since following your tips I’ve gone from averaging around 14+ over to breaking 80. Thanks for your great tips 👍🏽

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing, well done

[@CalebKunze-u6q]

I like your Coaching Clinics. They are very helpful and easy to follow.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you!

[@davidwilkin4637]

Once again a great video Danny, thanks for all your help during 2023 and Happy Christmas and all the best for 2024 to you and all your family.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks David Happy New Year 🥳

[@thomascecchino7066]

I love watching your explanations of the golf swing. I find that I can easily relate to your methods and I have been improving my swing since I started following you. I was a single digit handicapper and after a serious illness, I was unable to break 100. I subscribed to your methods and slowly have been improving and hope 2024 will be a better year for my game following your videos. Keep them coming and have a great New Year from this side of the pond!!!!

[@bertley]

As always, simple and effective. Thank you

[@DanielMaude]

You are welcome!

[@JohnNolan-q7b]

Great explanation Danny, please keep up the GREAT work. Wishing you and yours a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support Geoff

[@LaFerlitaFamily]

On holidays visiting family and several golf courses in NE Tasmania. Relatively new to the game, inconsistency of strike has been the problem. Played a couple of local links, feeling confident, had a round at Bougle Run (short course) and then played Barnbougle Dunes…. Confidence, especially with driver destroyed. Watched this (so well timed, Danny) and visited a local before returning to Lost Farm. My issue was a distinct lack of left hip bump and transition to my left side thru impact. Topping and pushing/slicing. Returned this morning to Lost Farm: completely different level. Thanks Danny. And please, have a Merry Christmas! Off to King Island to play Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes in early Jan, so hopefully the technique holds up! Cheers, Brad

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun, thanks for all the support this year

[@edisonlouie1501]

Great comments as always! So helpful. Best to you in the New Year

[@DanielMaude]

Happy new year!

[@austino65]

Excellent stuff. Focus on weight forward, arms straight, chest & hips facing the target, and tilting shoulders (I added that last one because I am always swinging too flat). Feels great when you do it, and strike impact is super. I love your video instruction Danny. Merry Christmas and a happy golfing new year.

[@DanielMaude]

Merry Christmas 🙏

Working on this atm 😊, struggling with the forward transition. I like the pre set up 👌

[@DanielMaude]

It just makes it super simple to feel

[@bedeashby6323]

Great simple tips Danny. Really useful reset if you duff a shot - rather than cursing the miss hit.

[@sheilasmith5323]

Great tips! Pivoting around front leg makes so much sense. Thanks again Danny👍

Happy to help Sheila 😁

[@nevilede4905]

Great video Danny, thanks for all your advice during 2023. Plenty of things to practice at home over the winter.

[@stratovani]

This is an excellent tip, which I'll be incorporating into my winter indoor practice. The simplicity and logic of it is what I find most appealing. Thank you for that, Danny, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from across the Big Pond!

Great tip, happy holidays Danny

Hi Danny. First off wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Interesting lesson this week and one I will take to the range and try. some of the no no's you demonstrated I am sure looked like me so am keen to put this latest video into operation. Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Hope it works well for you John and Happy New Year! 🥳

[@bobt4949]

You really break down and simplify the golf swing. I lost my confidence for the longest time til I started watching your channel. Thanks again Danny Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!!!

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Bob, have a happy and healthy Christmas

[@hjm33]

Time to practice this!!! Incredible tip!! I think this is what I needed to get better and break 80 for the first time. Next year is going to be amazing. Thanks Danny for helping me break 100 and break 90 in 2023. Now you will help me break 80 in 2024. Happy holidays!!!

[@suncitypro1]

You are the best Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Mike

[@davidblower9279]

Another great simple instructional video Danny - with the heavier ground ‘strike’ (ball then turf) for iron play becomes even more important so love your latest guidance on this topic - merry Christmas! 👍

Same to you! Philip 🎄🥳

[@johnnycasswell7290]

Thanks Danny for some simple ideas there to make the swing and strike better - I'll be giving it a go at the range and trying to create that feel and get to that finish position. I struggle with the driver more than anything so hopefully it will help with this. Have a great Christmas!🎄

Hey Rick, will give you a call over Xmas to see how you are getting on. All the best

[@TerryCork-bc6jn]

Terry Cork Great video, and so easy to work on.

[@DanielMaude]

All the best Terry 🙏

[@javierospino8884]

Thank you for your instruction videos Danny, I have question: I noticed that that Xander’s head is much more tilted than yours at impact, how much of a difference does that make?

[@DanielMaude]

Quite a bit Javier as it means he has lots of side bend. It’s something I need to do more to help control the club. To do that my right side needs to move a little better

[@desmond9168]

Really impressive! It addresses my failing in ‘finishing’ my swing? Thanks again! Happy Xmas and have a Prosperous and Peaceful 2024!
