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!

Great lesson. Covered all the important bits in a few minutes. I now use this (your/Seve’s) system and it has removed the duffs. I particularly liked the bit on concentrating on brushing the turf without worrying about how far the ball goes in the initial stages. Once I got the feel, I just lengthened or shortened my swing and saw how far it carried and rolled for each club. I’ve found this can get a bit messed up if you focus on distance at the start. All that happens is you lose your rhythm by either rushing into the back of the ball to ‘get it up’ or decelerating into it so as not to ‘over hit it’. As you said, get the feeling first. Then with me, I experimented with length of swing to vary distance - always focussing on brushing the turf with the bounce of the club. Improved my chipping no end. Thanks yet again Danny. Best coach on KZbin in my opinion.

[@tristanbishop34]

There was a video years of go on school of golf that said you want to imagine the golf ball has feet and you want to swipe it’s feet from under it and not make a divot. Changed my set up and chipping so much for the better!

[@DanielMaude]

Love the image of swiping the feet from under

[@richards5910]

I've been using this approach for a month or so now and it has improved my chipping enormously.

[@DanielMaude]

Wonderful Richard, thanks for sharing

[@MegaHolein1]

Struggled for years with chipping. You have no idea the improvement. The tip with the club under the arm was the first real understanding of my torso being involved in the swing. Please continue to show this tip in chipping lessons. Brilliant well done Danny. Top top tip

[@DanielMaude]

MegaHolein1 that’s great, really hope it continues to improve your short game around the greens

[@richardbrandon3710]

Hi Danny - I learned the chip the 'old way'.....after a couple years, fairly good at it but have inconsistent strikes due to leading edge issues. After your video, I tried the new way. Took a while to learn to strike it with my torso, not just the arms, and it clicked. I love it....much simpler and anxious to keep practicing and put it to use. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Richard Brandon hats great Richard, the old way has its place for certain shots but once you’ve tried the new you may find you use it more often

[@bitario723]

What if you have a tight lie or are in a divot?

[@leonschwebke7530]

Ok. Former low single digit handicap no longer playing or practicing as much as I need to. Short game was my strength in the past. Chipping had gone to hell. Did not know where the ball was going as I stood over it. Would hit four ok, then fat one, double hit one, skull one. Watched your video and went to the practice green. Within 15 minutes all thoughts/fears about quality of contact, fat and thin shots had disappeared. I was back to focusing on how far to fly the ball, how far it would roll. Totally target oriented! Great video. Love the drill for reminding one how to feel the motion.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats brilliant to hear Leon, thanks for taking the time to share your chipping around the green results

[@td1138]

I used this technique today in my Saturday morning round. I found my chipping much more predictable and, surprisingly, my distance control was much better, particularly on longer chips. This was without any advance practice. Thanks for an awesome tip!

Thats fantastic Tom, thanks for keeping us updated

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Think of it more like a putting motion. Quiet hands and use the entire torso to rotate.

[@user-vo2kr6ht3j]

great chipping. I am a 13 handy chap and do fairly well except chipping. I took many lessons and was always taught the old way, leaning etc. Hit it fat and having no idea where the ball was going. Frustrating and adding one or two strokes . I was watching Ricky Fowler one day and he stood straight up and the club was not leaning. But I am too stupid to change what I was taught until I shot two games in a row in the 90s. All my added shots where from chipping. So I remember Fowler and tried it. It worked. I then saw your lesson and it ws the same thing. Wow, I went outside and tried it and it worked instantly. Yes, I understand the bounce and gliding the the ground. I am going to practice and start. playing better. Great video. Thank you.

[@tucsondavehayes]

I have viewed a ton of videos on chipping. This is by far the best because Danny explains the position of the arms and hands required in order to strike the ball properly. Excellent job, Danny!!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you David, happy to help

[@chucklilley824]

Very worthwhile video. Drill with club (9-iron in video)under the left armpit effectively reinforces this around the green chipping movement....setup and sweeping ball contact are more like a long putt than the historical weight forward/ball towards back foot setup and downward strike chipping method. Seve Ballesteros, the short game Maestro, is referenced as utilizing the same method. Believe Raymond Floyd, another of Golf’s we’ll-respected chippers, also thought of a chip as a putt.

[@DanielMaude]

Chuck Lilley thanks for the comment Chuck,

[@billswitzer1516]

You can't have enough tips on chipping. It is the keystone of scoring. Personally, don't like practicing chipping, henceforth my scoring isn't what it should be. Brilliant tip Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Bill Switzer Thanks Bill, love chipping

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Spend 70% of your time chipping and putting. Scoring will go lower than any amount of range time.

[@leoburns9674]

Danny thanks for investing your time here! Question… “tight” lies / hard turf… does it change your thinking on “glide through”?

[@markbenez70]

Thank you!!! My chipping has been erratic at best. Your way (the new way) changed everything! Totally accurate directionally. Now just need to get the distances worked out but no more “skulling” or balls that fly dead right. Dropped 18 balls twice around my pin today on my gold course and could not believe it. Got behind a trap and used same system and pitched over trap on to green. Thank you!!! Subscribing now.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing well done. Welcome to the channel

[@taffyddu]

Another guid yin (Scots for good one) Danny. As a beginner I used to chip using your "new way", then I got taught the "hands ahead of the ball" method. I played more accurately years ago back then with your new way than I do now. Tomorrow I have a special competition with friends, guess which method I'll use! Thanks Danny a great tip.

[@DanielMaude]

Lovely, look forward to hearing how it goes

[@mikehannon4097]

Love this video, I have used the pitching information you provided and have confidence in my short game i have not had before. I played a full 18 last week and my golf buddy said my game is 110% better thane he can ever remember. Even on early spring greens which aren't great for putting I'm playing a little better than bogie golf, low 40's for 9 holes. My main concern now is ball position in my stance. Thanks again Danny looking forward to this year.

[@douglaswhite7106]

I've been using this "new" method for awhile. Works great, and a lot more consistent. Before I saw your great video I got the concept from a short video from Paul Azinger where he shows always returning the swing to the 6 o"clock position. As you show, it works for chips and pitches.

[@okierazorback]

Watched this video, practiced the technique several times, took it to the golf course...after the 4th or 5th chip I put into the gimme zone my playing partner called my chipping "magical". I've been struggling with what I called the chipping yips for quite some time now. This technique has freed me up. Try it you will like it.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats brilliant, well done, so pleased to hear its helping your short game

[@rodneybutterfield9881]

Great tip Danny. Many many years ago my father encouraged me to treat these short chip shots like a long putt which is I suppose similar to what you recommend here. As a result this is the strongest part of my rather mediocre game.

[@DanielMaude]

So important Rodney, your father was a good coach

[@Rick-cv1kp]

The perfect apron around that green lends itself to skidding the club across it. Sadly at my course the aprons are muddy and uneven(especially in the winter) the club just won't skim through.

[@DanielMaude]

Check out my latest chipping video that will help with that

Well, you blew Dave Pelz technique out of the water because he is the guru of short game. He teaches chipping from the right back heel. Now I am confused. Good video....will try both and see which one works. My comments based on Pelz’s book Dave Pelz’s Short Game Bible.

[@DanielMaude]

Yes I read it too, some really great stuff.

[@jeffloewi5632]

This is a terrific lesson. The one thing you fail to mention is how the body and arms must work together. You are moving your arms and torso/hips back and through each and every time and that is critical to this lesson. I know this all too well because I was having an awful time because I was only using my arms. Thanks

I’m still having some issues from tee to green but, when my ball is near the green I can keep my game together thanks to this. Lately I’m struggling because I’m topping the ball. Can you give me a drill to avoid that? Thanks a lot for all your drills and tips. It makes me a better player and therefore enjoying the game so much more.

Ruud Schrijvers practice making swings that brush 3 inches of the ground

[@ruudschrijvers1874]

Danny Maude I would be a fool to not follow your advice 😉🏌️👌

[@howbow47]

Good video. This is basically a stack and tilt setup, which I am using in all my golf shots. The one thing I have also been doing is using more of my dominant hand to control the club; my right hand. I am noticing the drills being used here are right hand drills, but no mention of leaving the left hand out of the equation, that is, pulling the club through the ball. Besides the new setup, the abandonment of left hand control was a great change in my game.

[@howbow47]

side note. Many people negatively stigmatize stack and tilt without even knowing what it is or how many tour players use variations of it. cheers.

[@guam58]

Danny with the old way, which is my preferred way, play the ball closer to the hosel. You will find better strikes. Also, you can move the ball forward or backward in stance to determine ball trajectory. I am not a fan of the new way, because you can easily get wristy (not a word but oh well), which leads to skulling. For those of you who use the old way and get the tops just remember to set up ball towards the hosel. It seems counterintuitive, but that is golf. It's like hitting a draw, you need to try and hit ball towards right field.

[@ek5419]

Thanks for the tip. I will be trying this out on my local golf course. I tend to chunk too many chip shots....especially the longer ones.

[@charlieodom9107]

I was taught the old way! Shorter the club, the farther back in the stance. I used to hit my wedges off my back foot! Now, I have learned how to thump the club off the ground and use the bounce to glide under the ball. I worked with a pro for weeks trying to learn the thump. When I first tried it, I was hitting so far and deep behind the ball that the backhoe chunk of grass was what was lifting the ball. Now, i can hit it clean from a cart path if I need to and barely touch the ground. I get more distance with less effort and my bunker shots have improved 10 fold.

[@joetroupe893]

My teaching pro tried to show me this shot last year, and I could hit it pretty well, but he neglected to explain the bounce in relation to the swing. I appreciate your complete explanations, Danny, especially to those not as fast on the uptake as we are assumed to be. I will use this shot more often henceforth.

Hi Danny, I am returning to golf after a 25 plus year lay off and getting to grips with all the old v new ideas and kit. My word, how things have changed. The trouble is my brain still thinks I am still a 10 handicap but my body acts like a 30 plus! I really appreciate the easy swing methods and love the way you explain and demonstrate the exercises. Simple but effective.

I was struggling majorly with my chipping trying this "new way." I had a short game lesson and my coach showed me the "old way" and I have never chipped better in my life. Say what you want to say, but most of the best golfers in the world use the old way. Sometimes, older is better.

[@DanielMaude]

Dave thanks for the comment Dave if you would like to see the best players using this method replay some of the masters and see how none of them take divots around the edges of the green. They will have shaft lean when they want power and compression from distance but not really on short approaches. I do however appreciate that if you find something that works you should stick to it or add to it. The best players actually use a combination of new and old when needed

This is interesting. I do a hybrid between the 2. Not a ton of shaft lean but some, weight favoring left side but not really exaggerated and use the bounce.

The old method also uses the bounce, even with forward shaft lean. That’s because the face is square to the target, but open to the stance; hence presenting the bounce of the club to the ground.

[@DanielMaude]

Joe Smith thanks for the comment Joe, do you think the stance has any influence over swing path and therefore impact?

[@joesmith389]

Danny Maude regarding target oriented golf, of course. There’s a few right answers to that question without getting too technical. All things equal, the ball will curve opposite path obviously (basic physics).

[@ehaney2215]

This was great! I will practice this right away! Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

ehaney2215 brilliant, love to hear how you get on

[@neildixon3833]

Love the club in the armpit tip. I struggle to turn so that looks like it will help

Well in the old days we had all kinds of shots. Chip and run with 8,9,pw. That technique teaches you what you teach here and you learn proper strike. Ball position is needed for different shots .

[@ThreePuttz]

I played around with this concept and found it much more successful when I chipped with my shoulders and not my hands. It seems like chipping with hands leads to duffs....at least for me. Great video.

[@DanielMaude]

Jeff Leyman that’s great Jeff, this is exactly how it should be...find feels that work for you

[@JG-qy6fe]

Enjoyed this.. Great way to putt using an iron.. However, this chip style of "gliding" works only if the ball is lying just outside the rim of the greens..if the ball lie is say 8-12 yards from the rim of the green, or say behind a greensfront bunker, the ball needs to lift higher, fast enough to carry over the bunker but still must stop well in front of the flag..Would be interested to know how to tackle that scenario...Thankyou

[@DanielMaude]

JK G if I needed vertical launch I would still use the bounce but come in steeper behind the ball. Note this reduces backspin and replaces it with height. The glide maximises the spin and is more accurate as it needs less of a swing. Where possible we choose the glide. I’d use the other method if I needed to stop in on a dime

[@JG-qy6fe]

Thanks, will def. try it out!

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure

[@peterrice9087]

Great teaching thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

thank you Peter

[@jonathanwright6648]

Really good video Danny. You explained exactly the problems I have with chipping. Going to try this!

[@DanielMaude]

Jonathan Wright great, let me know how it goes

[@jeffsquires7831]

Thanks again! You are a great instructor. I am glad I found you, you have helped me in many areas of the game.

[@DanielMaude]

Jeff Squires thank you Jeff, just happy to hear the vids are helping

[@Snowsoul433]

Thanks Danny excellent as always. Would love to see a video on this technique from various lies. I find many chips are from an uphill lie and it’s not clear to me what to do? Please help!

[@DanielMaude]

I think that would be a great idea for a video, thanks for sharing

[@jp-xe9hi]

Excellent danny and wpuld help from bare lies and really tight fairways

[@DanielMaude]

It does indeed

[@julianroberts698]

Thx as always Danny looking forward to practising lots of your drills now lighter evenings ate here. Any chance of a bunker video struggling badly with that aspect of my game. You did do one once but to be honest felt a bit complicated so over to you Danny 👍👍

[@DanielMaude]

Julian Roberts time to make another bunker video then simplifying the process

[@julianroberts698]

@@DanielMaude good man i knew i could rely on you 👍👍

[@wiwigolf]

Finally got some understanding of the movement and gained some consistency! Great video! Thank you! 🤗🤗

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure, keep me updated on your progress

[@RJWSuffolk]

Good video, thanks. Would be interested in a similar style vid on how full swing teaching has changed from the time when experienced club pros received their training, to current swing thoughts?

[@DanielMaude]

RJWSuffolk that would be interesting
