Don't Turn Your Shoulders in the Golf Swing Like This!

[@artfunamori4442]

The blue swing plane circle is one of the best visuals I have seen! Really helps me understand how to change swing direction.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help

[@rogercohen1167]

These lessons with your dad are the best videos on KZbin.

[@marcthomas2333]

Hi Danny, just coming back from my Saturday routine watching your weekly video, I like to repeat myself: every lesson with your Dad is very special, and for me there are two levels. Every time it's great to see (A) the lovely interaction between father and son as well as (B) the interaction between an ambitious student and his great and very gifted teacher. What you teach your father about the swing with a big circle and "snap" is so helpful for any golfer - no matter what age. Can't wait to try it out myself. Thank you both for another very inspiring video.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s really kind Marc, hope it helps you too

[@rudybrown1823]

Hey Danny, how can I take a lesson with you.

[@johnritchie8336]

Thanks to you both for another terrific lesson - your Dad’s enthusiasm for improvement is simply inspiring - and his strike at the end of the lesson is so much better. Frankly watching a pro stripe it has limited value for senior golfers but this is really enlightening 🔥

[@DanielMaude]

So pleased it helps John

[@miketamborrino5983]

More GOLD from the Maude's! Thanks, Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Mike thank you

[@earlterhune5528]

Honestly Danny, you and your Dad are a joy to watch. You make me smile. Your Dad and I are the same vintage. It seems as though you are training me. My God bless you , your Dad, and your entire family in 2023. Until next time, Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind of you get in touch Earl

[@MrAyeno3bad]

Love your videos on a Saturday morning before a round! Gets you in the mood

[@DanielMaude]

Great to have you here

[@rickbethea2040]

I’m 72; I’ve played golf all my life, but I can so relate now to your Dad. Great video…I’m heading out to the range to practice today….Thanks! It would be great to have a follow-up video with your Dad in a few months…just to see his improvement.

[@DanielMaude]

The follow up driver video this coming Saturday will be my best video this year

[@cjedwards1808]

The second half of this video where you talk about keeping your arms loose and using your body to whip them through the swing was a game changer for me! Best golf instructor on KZbin!

[@DanielMaude]

@cjedwards1808 thank you so much. I really appreciate it 🙏🏻 Pleased you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@cameronloveless1751]

Your lessons with your dad are some of my favourite videos on KZbin Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Glad you are enjoying them Cameron, we have a driver one coming next week

[@alangoudie2299]

THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH FOR A BRILLIANT, EASY TO FOLLOW & UNDERSTAND LESSON. I have the same golf problems as your dad. THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU . I NOW REALISE WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING WRONG. I played golf today & watched your video after 8-00 pm. Many of the favourable comments highlight how helpful your combined videos are to club golfers especially seniors. It is a great bonus to see how the father & son relationship flourishes & how you both enjoy your dad's excellent progress. WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT PRODUCTION. I will NOT be challenging your dad to a game off scratch.

[@daviddeck9693]

Love the lessons with your dad! As a senior golfer I find these videos very helpful to generate a good strike and increase speed. Well done by the both of you!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support David

[@mattcristino9804]

Mr Maude Senior, always a pleasure seeing you with Danny. You are both blessed to have each other. Great lesson and much to take from watching the circle, shoulder and snap motion. Looking forward to practising it myself. Cheers to you both.

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how you get on Matt

[@davidc6341]

DM, As a 67 year old-best tip ever. Reluctant to admit my inability to swing properly. This shows why. Thank you for the best lesson, ever. Show more of people improving, as we all know your swing is the best. Learn more from watching the high handicap player improve, rather than watching a Pro swing the club.

[@jking2093]

Danny, you are by far the best teacher! And the memories you are making doing lessons with your pops are amazing. You can tell the lessons he gave you all through life is the reason why you are the best.

[@spencerbates5030]

These videos are brilliant Danny...you explain things in such an easy to follow way...thankyou 🙏

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure Spencer, all the best

[@Deanriley]

Shifting the swing circle gave me my best drives ever today. Thanks to you and your dad. I’m in my 70s and playing for a bit under a year.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing Dean, well done

[@stevedietrich8936]

I don't think anybody explains things better than Danny. He covers what the student needs to do, how to do it, and why we're doing it.

[@DanielMaude]

Very kind thank you Steve 😁

[@brianharvey8287]

You're a great son Danny. Taking the time to help your Dad's golf swing.

[@DanielMaude]

Always a pleasure to get my dad out playing

[@lauchieburton5592]

Wonderful to see your Dad improved his golf swing and distance

[@robertoriordan4083]

Great video, because too many videos show really low handicap players, but this shows with our level of golfer how to improve

[@DanielMaude]

Appreciate that Robert

[@josephjulian2503]

These lessons with your father are just what we seniors need lesson wise. My balance is horrible. Can you possibly do a segment on maintaining proper balance during the swing?

[@rrfelt]

He seems like a great dad. Love the connection you both have.

[@kevinfieldhouse8178]

Brilliant once again Danny when you add the enhanced circle,it makes perfect sense.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Kevin

[@williamfennell8175]

Wonderful ! I certainly hope you’ve got Dad on the payroll. He makes you look like you know what you’re doing :) I’ve learned a lot today Danny. Thank you both.

[@DanielMaude]

😂 don’t tell him that

[@Egonomical]

Love watching this video, i shared a love of golf with my Dad until his passing in 2020. My Mum died in 1989 when he was only 55 and we took up golf together to help get over our loss and we totally got the bug. He never remarried but i became best friends with him all because of golf. It gave us over 30 years of fun and enjoyment and brought us close together and i can see that you have a close friendship with your Dad. Great to see and very instructional video. Thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you really appreciate you taking the time to comment your story 😁 thank you for the feedback too ⛳️

[@davetate6733]

Great that you do this with your dad. It fine to see you swing and make such a whoosh, but the vast majority can’t do that. Very relatable to people like me

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy he's willing to be on camera

[@brianclough9837]

Really super lesson the circle thing is super

[@olk3]

As a 62 year old woman, who has been struggling for decades to hit the ball with any reasonable skill at all, the whoosh is what recently, finally, turned my game around. The whoosh comes from technique more than strength. “Let the club head do the work” as Danny explains with his catapult technique. Catapult =whoosh.

[@roberthyman6282]

Great video Danny

[@juliehooker7231]

@@olk3 is there a particular catapult video of Danny’s that you would recommend as I am a similar age to you.😊

[@Ryan-rc3kq]

Danny I really like how you describe and conceptualize aspects of the golf swing. You really break down mechanics and it’s helped my swing a lot. REALLY wish you were out here in the states, I’d be signing up for a few lessons.

[@Willie-t5409]

Been working with the drills you have shown your dad over the past month or so. Swing “whoosh” is noticeably more prevalent. Thanks for taking the time to provide teachable concepts - makes me feel as if I am in the studio with you.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Willie

[@kevinsharp9376]

Watched a previous video on taking away top of club first to create lag and deliver power. Just back from the range. Some amazing results. My distances have improved by 20 to 25 yds per club. Thank you Danny for your help. Much appreciated.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing! Well done Kevin

[@jerrypetercheff3075]

I appreciate the lessons you have with your dad. It just shows that you are never to old to learn new things and improve.

[@DanielMaude]

Exactly right Jerry

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

The tip regarding shot direction being a result of shoulder alignment is an absolute golden nugget of information. It's the same tip I got in the past that helped significantly tighten up my shot dispersion

[@dukefan37923]

Danny - you are absolutely the best teacher I've seen on here. Hands down. You make it so simple to understand. You've helped me countless ways to think about what I'm doing, the results I'm seeing, and just make some slight adjustments for better results the next time. I've struggled with a slight hook with my irons (sometimes snap hook with driver) for a while, but that simple tweak of "shifting my swing circle" to the right at setup made a huge difference for me. I just have to remember to do it every time lol. Keep up the phenomenal work!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s really kind thank you

[@michaelvidean5262]

Another great lesson Danny, great to see your dad’s improvement and his enjoyment.

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Such a simple easy way of explaining the golf swing. Really nice drill. Easy to remember on the range before a round too. Thanks .

[@DanielMaude]

Hope it helps

[@jimsweeney9451]

Thanks Danny. I love these videos for older golfers. Such a help. Well done.

[@DanielMaude]

Really pleased Jim, next weeks one with the driver I think is my favourite

[@paulhutchinson726]

Fantastic video Danny, I am 67 and could really relate to what I am doing with my swing so it has given me and idea on what I need to work. Also good to see you both enjoying the lesson. My Dad is 85, in the summer we play a round of golf together once a week, although he needs a buggy to complete 18 holes. Keep the videos coming as we have so much to learn about this beautiful game.

[@Rellek7]

Danny, you are the clearest, most concise, most understandable teacher on the internet. At age 73 with 40 years of bad to mediocre golf I am inspired by your concepts & watching you with your Dad is brilliant. I live in northeast NJ in the States. Have you ever considered doing a golf clinic in the US? Bravo, Danny!

[@paulmorris9444]

Another great lesson with your dad. The improvement in his sing really changed when you preset his right shoulder and got his left shoulder turn correctly.

[@trading-university.]

Definately the best golf coaching videos on the tube. You just improved my striking massively. Your Dad picks stuff up very fast! I hope I am that sharp in my older years. Great video cheers

[@keithdowling6719]

Hi Dany what a wonderfull vidéo.. i am learning everything what you are teaching your dad..when i see your dad hitting them beautifull. Shots after...this réal y helps me understand how we must get into That preset circle before ...for us senior golfers its not easy..so thank you for showing us seniors golfers how to get into thém positions....love when you teach your dad......have a good Dany ......

[@DanielMaude]

Ahhh that’s great Keith, I have him with the driver next week too

[@davidoliver2826]

I have been learning a lot listening and watching you but watching you instruct your dad has been a greater help for me to visualize better.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks David 😁

[@bobdulong]

Another special lesson with your Dad, Danny. Thanks for sharing out to us seniors!

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure Bob, all the best

[@paulinsydneyaussie3902]

I love the relationship you have with your father Danny. I can feel & see his confidence in his shots growing..well done! 😁

[@PRYVTgomerPYLE]

Danny, I think you should make a video on the importance of the left-hand position (for right-handed golfers) at impact! This will correct a lot of slices!

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, will cover this in another video

[@robertspreitzer8126]

How cool…I did learn something I never thought about changing the swing circle. Thank you.

Happy to help

Danny, This is fantastic! I'm so glad I found your channel 6 mo ago. Keep your dad comming in. It is very helpful for us old guys.

[@Ron-hj1or]

So good to see that the older you get will not implay that you can’t play better. I am 60 now and play better before, just because i play with more ease and off course learning from you everytime.

[@DanielMaude]

You can 💯 keep getting better

[@jamesbamford7199]

Danny, your dad is such a great sport. It is so instructive to watch him learn and improve from your input and clear advice. Please keep these coming.

[@terryjones6504]

Great instruction simple and effective. Just what we older golfers need.

[@craig8077]

Great job Danny!! I think it's wonderful teaching your father. My father played until he was 93! Brings back great memories.

[@phileoness]

This is exactly what I’ve been working on in my swing. I’ve been thinking of it as shoulder alignment. I really like the swing circle concept.

[@MPT458]

Your dad is such a great student! It shows that age doesn't matter as long as you have an open mind to learn and to break old habits.

[@1209Gazza]

Fabulous video. Following 2 years away from the game after a bad fall I have had to relearn the swing. I used to be a low single figure player..and golf is not like getting back on a bike ! I love the circle picture you've used in the instruction. My experience has been that the hardest part of the swing is the bit PAST the ball. If you watch people at the range it's fairly obvious they are using the hammer/nail theory to hit at the ball. I now think... .From the top of the swing it's.....down, left and up. Dramatic improvement as per your dad. I almost feel as though I'm throwing from the top, and that produces the swish. Keep up the good work!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful to hear

[@lepepus]

Love these lessons with your dad. He is quite the good student!

[@mpotapczyk1]

Danny great lesson. Many amateurs are doing this mistake. Thank you for correcting my wrong routine I've had so far.

Beautiful Danny! Love you and your father's interaction. Great lesson as well!

[@justtisha]

Wow the tug thing was an AWESOME way to make it all make sense!!!!!

[@DanielMaude]

Hope it helps

[@shawncorley3229]

My god. You are the best instructor I have ever seen. A lot of people can diagnose what is wrong with someone’s swing, but the real talent is to articulate the fix in a way that they can actually feel and for it to resonate with them. You have a gift. I learn so much from your videos and they have helped me so much on the course. Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

Very kind thank you Shawn😁

[@mikeway6273]

Really enjoy and benefit from your teaching sessions... YOu have a wonderful way of explaining the details and breaking down a swing that is repeatable in my game. Thank you!

[@duncandawes3610]

Another great video I have been working on the snap aspect of the swing, this really does help. I cannot recommend enough the 2 videos and doing the Pete Cowan exercises daily I have stopped hitting hundreds of golf ball down the range. Only once a week now. The muscle memory exercises for the swing really do bring results Keep up the great work.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Duncan

[@johnbelder984]

Great lesson again Danny! I appreciate your dad willingness and enthusiasm. I’m 64 and fairly new to golf (4 years) so these lessons help tremendously. The circle in the swing visuals are outstanding. A bit too cold here to go to the range (-20C) last night so I will have to wait a few months. Perhaps I’ll head over to a simulator to work on it. Keep up the great work for us Danny….and dad.

[@DanielMaude]

Fantastic lesson Danny. I find the image of the left shoulder being the centre of the circle and the low point really helpful. Thanks again 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@sfriedman8383]

great video, great lesson. using your dad is particularly helpful for older golfers. 1 observation is the lack of flexibility when watch your dad's backswing & follow-through v. someone like yourself danny. your fluid swing matches the pros

I believe you have to decide that for yourself as it is very individual
