ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On KZbin and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

Just need to remember to move your right shoulder on plane back and definitely through. And keep the right heel down. Just cranked a practice session. I was great!! Thanks.

Hi Danny, thanks for this vlog. I have been playing golf as a one handed left hand golfer for the past five years using right hand golf clubs. At the end of last season due to not been totally happy with my swing I decided to look into left handed golf with my golf coach playing left hand golf clubs. Instantly I found that I had more power and control. Yes you are right it does take time to develop a consistent swing technique, but it’s worth it in the end. Your vlog demonstrates everything I am now able to do. The club that it has helped me the most with so far is the driver. I have gained up to 50 yards and now able to hit a consistent straight ball, something I found difficult to do when playing my right hand driver. My swing change has totally transformed my game for the better. Cheers

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful, so great to read

[@johnseymour4961]

Best video yet...I started with no golf ball..my 7 iron and driver...doing the half swings first and then elongated them out...I then hit several shots with the 7 and driver and was amazed by the difference. This drill is now part of my pre round roytine.

[@neiljordan562]

I’ve watched hundreds of golf videos, some are helpful, many are just rubbish. However, I can honestly say that after watching this video and practicing the drill on the driving range that this is probably the best, most useful drill I have seen and used. It works! Try it! Well done Danny. I’d give you a hug but it would destroy my street cred.🤗

[@DanielMaude]

Neil Jordan funny, glad you liked this one, I really love how it helps golfers develop their swings

[@Elcatmano]

Hitting one handed chip shots was a game changer for me to get the right feel. Never really thought about doing it with full shots but it makes sense.

[@DanielMaude]

Really does, thanks for taking the time to comment

[@cpking7]

After a couple drills doing this, one of my career best ball striking days. This forces me to do and feel the body movement my teacher pushes but just just hasn't felt intuitively right to me. Putting for birdies is fun: who knew?! First of your videos I've tried, but subscribed and checking out more. Huge thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

cpking7 wonderful to hear, well done and thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@quantumpotential7639]

Don't ya just love putting for birdie 16 to 18 times a round. I so excited with this drill. I now putt for birdie on nearly every hole. Takes a huge amount of pressure off my putting knowing that if just half of them fall into the cup, I'm consistently shooting 9 under a round which the feeling is nothing but pure ecstasy. I love ❤️ this game so much. I wish I could play it for all eternity. Over time, I would make billions and billions of birdies which will be heaven for me, making all those birdies making me the cosmic champ 🏆 of all golfdum.

[@jamiesloan7259]

I’m constantly walking around swinging my club in my right hand. Walking to the tee box, to my ball, back to the cart, etc. I’ve did this for years, because it gives you so many good feels. It was refreshing to see that I’m not crazy. Great video! Left hand only swings is also very beneficial. Tiger does it. Enough said. One handed swings tell you where, and how to grip the club properly too. Then, just combine those grips, and feels with your normal swing(both hands). It’s a game changer people. Trust me. I’m scratch, by the way.

Philip Mellea brilliant Philip, thanks for the feedback

[@555Trout]

So true! 30 year teaching pro here. I happen to think it works well because it gets students to wind the forearm correctly, counterclockwise for right handers. So the club works down unwinding the forearm clockwise. Which leads to many good things! S throwing action! It's hard for people to do this with the left hand on for various reasons. Anyway, I try and start students this way. It takes some time to be able to do it but it's worth it. Good work!

[@FilPimentel]

Hi Danny...Great Stuff!!! I have found your videos just recently and they are a breath of fresh air, with instruction that takes the complex and makes it simple!! I just tested with a very small swing in my living room and almost immediately I could sense the weight wanting to move to the left side so to allow the swing to continue and have a follow-through. Incredible as I did not have to think...it was natural...Great videos...already a fan!

[@DanielMaude]

Welcome to the community Filipe, I certainly believe that learning is natural and it needs to be easy and fun to do

[@FilPimentel]

Danny, I was watching another of your videos (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJDWYqaHi758oZI) and you say: "If you are a left-handed playing right-handed clubs do the exercise with your left hand". Would this work for this exercise as well - hitting a golf ball with 1 hand?

[@thomaspage3488]

Love this one. It forces the player to return the trail elbow to the ribs immediately in the downswing. That will allow all the other good positions to happen.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely Thomas, one of my favourites 😁

[@petercrawford6707]

Thanks for this one Danny. Gave it a try this morning but came up against a slight problem..... Although I play as a right handed golfer, I'm left handed and found it to be extremely difficult hitting the ball using my just my right hand. But I will persevere! Am sure it'll help strengthen my right arm and improve my lack of upper body movement.

[@canefan17]

Can you do one on left arm only as well? I just started doing both, and find there is great wisdom in practicing each. My only advice would be for people to film at least the first few sessions. Even with one arm we can still yank down on the club, and I would not have known that if I didn't feel my swing DTL and spot the steepness. But it is true that it's amazing for sequencing, tempo, and letting gravity do its thing.

[@normandrondeau2660]

Like the idea of this and gave it a try today. Awful shots but felt an improvement to swing path when I went back to two hands. It seems like it would be a good thing to use on practice swings , rather than two hands. Would that make sense? But....you know you said nobody slices with this? Well I do, and I don't slice the ball normally. Work that one out!

I found this brilliant, but have a question.. I am left handed but are playing right handed golf. It did feel strange to lead with my right hand, so I tried doing it with my left hand. This felt much more natural, but is the drill working doing it this way? Many thanks for all your instructional videos. Danny, you are my house god of golf.. 🙂

[@iannacc]

Danny, this is pure gold. Oddly enough I was doing this with my driver last year and my instructor talked me out of it. I am still struggling with it to the point I play a 3 wood and play executive type courses. So my question to you is as a drill how many should I be doing one handed. Should I just go through a bucket of balls all one handed on a variety of different clubs or should I hit 3 one handed and the 4th one with both hands? Thanks again and looking forward to your feedback.

[@DanielMaude]

iannacc thanks for the question, it’s not really about the quantity of balls and more about what is the one handed swing giving you? What is it teaching you? What do you feel? Then alternate between one and two to learn to transfer

Good Morning, Dan...To the Quik: When I rock a Cradle I use one hand. Why? It produces a great [Rocking Motion]. To the Point: When I use a [Rocking Motion] for my Swing I proceed with: (1) The [Left Inner Thigh] to the [Contour of the Right Outer Hip] for the [Takeaway]. (2) From the [Contour of the Right Outer Hip] to the [Left Inner Thigh] for the [Return & Completion] of the Swing. Why? It gives Rhythm to my Swing! It never fails! It's easy to Copy. Even a child can understand the [Rocking Motion] for the Swing. PS: Zero Degree of Difficulty with this [Rhythm Move] for the Swing. Note: I use it every time I step up to the Golf Ball.

It can come from both

Danny, I agree that this is golf's best drill, but there is a step two that I use to help transition to having both hands fully on the club. Step two for me is the take the left hand palm off the club and just hold the club in the fingers and thumb of the left hand so the right hand is still in full control. You will be amazed at how well you can hit the golf ball with this left hand palm off the club step two. Once you can do this well then work in the full left hand grip. I've actually played full rounds of golf with my left hand palm off like this.

Are you actively holding the angle in your right arm and wrist or is it the extra body rotation meaning the overtaking isn’t happening as quickly or is it a case of activating the body more whilst not chucking the club?

A great reminder! 50 plus years ago, my first instructor told me this. "When you are swinging poorly, just throw the club down the fairway. A good golf swing is a good throw with the right hand."

Great drill. After many years away from golf, I've been on the range the last couple of months getting back into my swing... and have been swinging one handed the last few weeks to get some good feel (and to cock my back swing and not be lazy). It's been great for improving my shot making. I've always liked putting one handed to get a feel for the speed of the greens, but hitting like this works a treat too.

[@VoodooZ]

Like a lot of us Canucks, I'm right-handed in life but leftie at golf. I started swinging with just my right arm (lead side) and I found out I hit it much better (feels like I'm pulling back and up with the lead shoulder) than my erratic default swing.. Now I tried to do the same swing with my left arm (trail side) as you do in your video and It's almost impossible.. If hopefully this drill may help finally figure out how to get both arms cooperating instead of fighting.. Thanks.

[@jonathanlambert7004]

Hi Danny I am one of those golfers you describe on this video. Who has been searching for a swing that I can repeat for all my golfing life. My game goes from OK to embarrassing many times on a round of golf. I have every bad shot in the book going on. But when I discovered that I could hit the ball consistently well using one arm it baffled me. It still does.. As I havnt so far managed to translate the one handed feel back into two hands. Although if I take my lead arm off the club during the downswing my strike improves dramatically. My big question is. Why don't golf coaches start their pupils off with this technique from day one!!!!

[@DanielMaude]

Its a very good question Jonathan...I think its simple because no one really teaches it. I had to come up with this one on my own. I really think its such a great drill I really do

[@kennethneward601]

I'm curious to try this drill. I imagine it won't work with a death-grip on the club either so it probably encourages more relaxed hands, something I tend to forget from time to time.

Gray video. Thank you. I tried this for a few days and had great feels with the drill. However every time I add my left hand I go back to my prior steel swing. Is it s matter of spending more time with developing this drill or do you have another video on how to add in the left hand? Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, a few people have said the same thing so it needs a follow up

[@HoopsnGitfiddles]

Simple answer is to also learn one-handed swings with just the left hand! It will force the same thing - no more difficult manipulations to square up the club. It also gives you clubhead awareness and control throughout the swing. Once you can hit the ball well with one-handed swing with either hand, putting 2 hands on will be much more natural.

I've recently lost my middle finger and a bit of my pointer finger and am unable to use my left hand for at least a while. Do you think trying to play a round of 9 in the meantime one handed will benefit my game when I'm (hopefully) able to bring my left hand back into play? Cheers.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, just make it as easy as possible. Borrow a ladies driver and consider playing off the forward tees

[@rickthomas4112]

Great idea!! Thanks heaps Dan, 🙏

[@supersoul4541]

Great video. What club do you suggest using?

[@DanielMaude]

Mike Martel very Club, wedge through to driver

[@hernansantos3881]

Morning Danny, always great lessons from you. Question: it seems that the right hand should be more dominant as long as you swing through, is that the concept?

[@DanielMaude]

Not necessarily, some people prefer the lead had being dominant. Test it out and see what happens

[@keithwilliams453]

Mr. Maude, I watched this video and gave it a try. Though I play golf right handed, I'm naturally a lefty. This drill didn't quite work out well for me. Any suggestions? Push fade/slice or over draw are my misses/nemesis

[@DanielMaude]

Keith Williams have you tried using your dominant hand

[@Karl_with_a_K]

Search for John Daly one hand swing. You see him do the same with a left hand grip. Great for feel.

[@keithwilliams453]

@@Karl_with_a_K Thanks. I'll give it a look

[@eddiebrown687]

I've done this, it does help you feel the right sensation....until you put the left hand back on. Then, because just about everyone either overlaps or interlocks, the grip feels different...so you lose most of the feeling......And yet very few use a baseball grip in the golf swing.........But it is a good warm up drill.

eddie brown thanks for the feedback Eddie

This is weird! I am actually hitting better and more accurate shots one handed than with two. Especially chips lobs and bunkers. Ball is coming out of the centre of the club ( normally out the toe two handed) nice flight and honestly not too much difference in distance when compared to an average two handed shot and a lot less effort invested. My thoughts are that it’s the natural ability of the human brain to hit a target with a weapon, bit like throwing a spear, or a club etc. Very thought provoking.

[@DanielMaude]

Tim Arnold absolutely Tim, I’m personally thinking of chipping and pitching one handed in tournaments as I have a natura ability to play more shots

[@Bigtbuilder]

Now that would make good TV Danny. Pro Chips in from 20 feet one handed live on TV. Sort of a Happy Gilmore moment. It would go viral.

[@karrivirtavuo]

Brilliant video as most of your content! I’ve been struggling with my chip shots and one handed chip works just fine. Trying to convert the same feeling to two handed chip. Our club pro suggested this drill but he never explained as you did and therefore I never committed to the drill. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the comment Karri, let me know how it goes...Im actually chipping quite a bit one handed right now as its great for creating spin on the shots

[@stevenperkins6662]

Going to use this also to stop coming over the top cheers Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun Steven

[@gordonhamnett1289]

I really appreciate and have been successfully using your videos and sharing them with friends! This is not a criticism of your specific video, however I have an old right shoulder rotator-cuff injury and am prone to re-injury relating to existing weakness in that area. For anyone following your videos with similar issues I recommend being careful starting out with this drill. Although I can still do it, I must go really slowly. Thanks Danny! Love the insights you have given me on backswing elements in particular!!

[@billykilcoyne8241]

This drill helped me to "feel" compressing my 7 iron with forward shaft lean. Never felt that sensation before. How about another video on left arm only swings?

[@DanielMaude]

Good idea Bill, thanks for the suggestion

[@rons.5173]

One of your previous videos was about chipping first with just the right hand. This allowed the club to work and not have the left hand dominate. That drill was a game changer with my chipping. I believe this will do the exact same for overall swing.

[@DanielMaude]

It really is amazing, hope you enjoy using it as much as my clients do

[@jabunkosi3469]

Great drill... Makes so much sense! "Feeling" the swing trumps "Thinking" the swing.

[@sensa123]

Amen!! Feeling the swing is nirvana level of golf

[@DanielMaude]

Jabu Nkosi it does indeed, thanks for taking the time to comment

[@zutanik7966]

Danny, while I have seen this drill before, you are able to explain its advantages so incredibly well. Now I can use it and know why and how it works. Great job as usual!!! Thanks

[@DanielMaude]

Thats great Liria,

[@MJP1966USA]

Tried the drill today. I found my self having hard time swinging with one hand (not sure if its a strength issue or just need to get use to it). Would you recommend starting with wedges vs. mid-iron in this situation?

[@DanielMaude]

MJP1966 stick with mid irons, it just requires a bit of patient...short swings to start

[@christianhammerl3763]

Hi Danny, I, 54 years old, wonder if this exercise can help me hitting a driver/3-wood. With my 5 wood and the irons is normally produce a fine draw. Miss hits are snap hooks. But with a driver or even a 3-wood i produce all kind of miss hits. Hooks slices, shanks - you name it and i am really curious.

[@thomasweber1397]

During this week’s session the pro asked me to do exactly this exercise. I couldn’t believe how well this works. Will now do this exercise in the beginning of every session

[@DanielMaude]

Perfect, keep me posted on your progress Thomas

[@johncochran5852]

Sending this to my friend who I convinced to get into golf this year. He's really struggling to get a fluid swing, and his distance is suffering because of it. I certainly thing I fall into the muscling category. I get great contact, have started dialing in my swing path and can choose my shot shape, but I often feel like I'm straining and overexerting after my swings, especially as I move up in club. Only thing that would make this video better in my opinion is a before and after of those golfers. We got to see them swing well with one arm, but how were they before this?

[@GuyCanuel1]

Interesting drill. The problem that we, adults, face is that even though we practice this, our natural swing will come back including the strength. How do you suggest to "reprogramming" the body in order to gain that "natural swing" when you have years of swinging the same way?

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Would be slightly more difficult for me, being left-handed but playing right. However, I am able to chip accurately with one handed, my left hand so the dynamics are slightly different. Even as a leftie though (hand not political affiliation hahahaha) this will certainly cause a smoother swing because it would be almost impossible to stab at the ball as we all sometimes do. Gonna give this a try without a doubt!

[@christianhammerl3763]

This drill might be very good for many golfers, but not for me. In my swing, the right arm is - or well - seems to be very passive. A thing i never had in mind so far. After practicing this drill for about an hour I got some real problems hitting normal two-handed shots. My right arm and hand suddenly felt dominant and the shots were pure desaster. it costs me about half an hour to get my swing back. But no complaints here. If you don't try it you'll never know.
