How To Strike Your Irons - Learn to COMPRESS your irons with these 3 SIMPLE GOLF TIPS

[@saigonlawman68]

Bingo Danny!!! This 74 yr. old geezer has been trying to hit my irons straight!!! Was pretty proficient back in the day (was a 10), and began hooking the ball (became handsy). Forgot that the swing arcs. Your instructions are brilliant. Simple and easy to process. Many thanks.

[@limarc1985]

Seeing the ball in curves what a great way of explaining it. My advice to every golfer is just to follow one coach. I was playing the driver reasonably well after watching Danny and on Monday I watched another video of a well-known coach and tried some shots the result was five balls lost and messed up the whole game. Danny's coaching is by far the best and he makes it so simple and no bla bla bla.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks so much Lionel

[@paulmcmanus8327]

Only started golfing 18 months ago. Danny all your videos and simple approach to achieving better swing, strike, and all-around game have drastically improved my game. Until I came across your videos I had 4 lessons at the local range and I was at 100 strokes per round for weeks. Since following your videos I am now consistently at a high 80 and in fact, hit my best round ever last weekend 85. Thanks a million for the videos I was about to give up on golf but now I am absolutely hooked.

[@DanielMaude]

Brilliant Paul! Happy to hear the videos have helped you 👍

[@jamesmitchell107]

Danny is by far the best trainer on KZbin. He has transformed my drive into a potent weapon using his simple understandable steps.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome to hear James, well done

Briiliant again Danny. The simple analogies with other sporting motions is priceless. Takes away the overly technical stuff that blinds golfers so often. Keep coming back to this when I'm struggling!

After an awful round i watched this and have to say this is the best iron drill ever. Went to the driving range and the Happy Gilmore drill before you swing has massively improved my consistency, and also relaxes my muscles. Thanks Danny!

[@lodwar]

I play for 7 years now and im now 48. You helped me with your videos so much! I never understood(!) how a golf shot works. No one answered my question. Now the last weeks i tried out some of your hints. And today: TADAA - i think i got it. It was really like a Heureka Moment! I had regular good ball contacts before also with a resonable good length. But today it was the first time having a real ball-ground contact with a wow effect! What i have to mention: for me it was helpful to use a camera to check the changes in every single session. And: now i have to change my wrong intensions and what i learned before (may in longer procedure) to get rid of it. But it looks makeable. You are a really nice guy and Thank you so much Best wishes from Germany

[@lserafin09]

One of, if not, the best online teacher. Danny simplifies the game and has changed how I think about my swing. My pre shot routine has nothing to do with golf anymore. I do the frisbee and disc throw routine. Such massive improvements to my game that I broke 80 the other day. Thanks Danny!

One other thing that might help is practice hitting the ground w/o a ball. Unless we learn to hit the ground no way to compress the ball. The feeling of hitting the ground for me is easier to achieve than just concentrating on compressing the ball

70 years olf and because of you i crush the driver like i did 15 years ago, now i have pay attention to you for the rest of my game

[@RG-ja34sep]

Danny your videos make so much sense. The idea of curving the ball either way is a great concept, and the fact that the professionals do it as well, especially with full shots, strengthens your point. It also improves your game as you will then be able to work the ball into any position. Great tuition, thanks Danny.

[@steveminla]

LOVE the idea of "working with curves" as well as using the comparison of a frisbee toss to get the body rotating.

Danny, I'm an 83 year old lover of the game hell-bent on improving my game and, thanks in great part to several of your tips, I've taken 10 plus strokes off in the past 4 months or so. I have just found your suggestion of "throwing a frisbee" particularly helpful in improving my 3 wood. I think this is because the feel of throwing a frisbee has allowed me to truly just swing the club though as opposed to trying to hit the ball which is what I think I was doing. Thanks much for your great videos, you are the best at providing solutions to which we ametures can relate.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats amazing to hear Dave. I really appreciate feedback like this. Makes all the hard work worth wile

This is the first time ever I left a comment on any video.

Danny your a god send. I never thought about seeing the ball flight in curves.

Thank you Danny, your series of videos last two weeks has helped my irons greatly! You are best on KZbin in responding to your viewers. The early weight shift to lead on downswing plus the lead leg push off are keys to great iron. Also your lag drag was great as well. You are the best overall instructor. Clear to the point to help the average struggling golfer!

[@garyross75]

Once again a great video Danny. Using simple motion analogies to compare with the golf swing is very helpful to me. I now have a much better understanding of swing mechanics. You’ve made a big difference in my golf game over the past few months. From overthinking and struggling with almost every shot to a more simple natural swing. I’m very grateful. Thank you.

Hi Danny. As a beginner I found this video extremely helpful. I was trying to hit straight shots, I did not understand the "curve aspect" and there was little power and not consistent at all. My carry with the 7 iron was rarely more than 120 meters, avg like 110 m. I found your vid and then I tried to follow your instructions to the letter, and within 1 hours of practice on the range I started seeing carry of 135-145 meters on good hits using toptracer! Consistency still needs work but atleast now I know that im doing something right when practicing. Amazing - thanks! Im recommending your videos to all my beginner friends.
