How to hit PERFECT iron shots!

How to hit PERFECT. If you have ever found yourself hitting the ground behind the golf ball and wondering how to hit the ball then the turf with your irons you will know how frustrating it is.
So in this weeks golf instruction Danny Maude reveals one of his game changer golf drills that will not only help you to make solid contact with the ball using your irons, with just a minor adjustment you can use the drill to help you hit your driver dead straight.
You and I know we can't swing like Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka or Rory McIlroy but we can certainly learn to feel something similar at impact.
This amazingly simple swing drill reveals how golfers can naturally move their bodies to create ball first contact.
If you find that you strike the ground behind the ball or tend to feel a weak contact with your golf shots the easy swing drill will really help.
If you like the golf lesson with my compliments you can download the PDF lesson summary and step by step practice plan. Great to take to your next driving range session: Download it for free here:

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!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you strike a ball with an iron. If you are looking for how to hit a ball straight with an iron, or want to know how to hit the ball first with irons then these golf drills will give you much better golf ball contact so that you can strike your irons pure.
I believe they are the easiest and best golf irons drills you can use
Also get to see the golf ball contact in slow motion

[@edwyman3509]

You lost me when you said your drive's hit the fairway 😂

[@DanielMaude]

😂🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@dwreed63]

😅😅🤣🤣

[@deahnasdad]

I always hit the fairway. Usually 1 or 2 fairways over.

[@user-ok8do1kg5s]

🤣🤣 I feel this

[@itsallaboutthez9007]

What’s a fairway? 🤔😂😂

[@shawncorley3229]

That is the best visual I have ever scene for hitting iron shots. I can’t wait to go to the range.

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun Shawn

[@petermolyneux9544]

You must have seen me trying to hit irons this week. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Danny.

[@baysideangler9709]

Me too! I’m sharing with my BFF who has the same issue!

[@pelicanlover69]

This is up their with "Possibly the EASIEST way to improve ANY golf swing!" Great visual as to what to practice.

[@3putt548]

Might very well be the best video I have ever watched. Interestingly I bought a divot board a few weeks ago. I’ve always struggled hitting the ball first and than taking a divot. The divot board saw me bottoming out before striking the ball=fat shots. Working with this video totally corrected that problem! Better yet taking it to the practice range, I was striping/compressing the ball really well. Huge difference this video has made on my ball striking. 13 handicap now and feel I can knock that down to a 9 or 10 putting your lesson to work. Not bad for a senior golfer in his late 60’s. Many thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Well done 👍 🙏

[@gregshaver1265]

Danny has some of the best videos I have ever watched. Been golfing since I was a junior in grade 5. 42 now and things change. These small tips help get things back together. Golf is a forever changing game

[@DanielMaude]

Happy to help Greg

[@GaryMartino]

First time I have watched a video that doesn't start out with "this tip is going to change your golf game forever" Very technical and sensible advice that actually has an effect on my fairway shots!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for taking the time to feedback Gary

[@turbodood79]

Bravo. One of the best explanations of the mechanics of an iron swing. The painting illustration is absolutely brilliant.

[@DanielMaude]

It really does help with the flow

[@joea9723]

In just a few minutes you not only captured my "exact" problem, you also provided an easy to understand and apply solution! For me, the key is the angle, I have been coming over the top and now will adjust to allow my hands to stay forward. You are spot-on with the flicking of the wrist when I come over the top to much. The other thing I noticed was it allows the left wrist to stay straight much easier ... you are the best!

[@michaeljoyce8410]

Excellent coaching video once again Danny, very relatable, provides easy to use swing thoughts. I'll be practicing this at the range later today! Thanks again.

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun Michael

[@charlietwigg5139]

I'm working on replicating your iron mechanics. I take 20 swings while gripping the alignment stick...then I'm ready to strike the ball into my net. My improved mechanics are becoming more natural. It's cold today (25 F) in Maryland USA. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Charlie

[@waltbyrd6584]

One of the best teachers on golf swings; hands downs! Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you for the support Walt

[@williamparke8868]

Super drill there Danny.👍

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks William Hope you’re having a great weekend

[@ojbudz]

Thanks Danny you and Tom Saguto have changed my golf game for the better.

[@gcoffey223]

I swear I wanted to say the same thing. I've been mixing and matching from both. Danny recently unlocked some distance for me just off that towell drill. Did you catch that one from Danny recently? Such a gem.

[@jeffzier4354]

Glad to be back watching videos to improve the ball strking and lower scores...

[@DanielMaude]

Welcome back Jeff

[@petebocchi256]

Just wanted to say hello to all who watch . This lesson was so very important to what i needed to start to compress the ball better . Painting the wall was the best ....so simple... so easy . Wow who would of thought ! Thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

All the best Pete

[@user-ug6yb5ne7o]

Can't thank you enough for posting this video, as a beginner the tip to splatter the paint completely corrected my swing giving me much more consistency. Beforehand I was loading up on the club at the top of the backswing making me lose control and top the ball almost everytime.

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure James, happy to help

[@MrNHPete]

Your videos have helped me so much and I just wanted to say THANK YOU ! - Pete

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Pete I’m really happy to help

[@ianmooneyGOLF]

Great video Danny. Played today and had a really pleasing day with the irons. It's an awakening when the feeling of hands forward of club head arrives. More distance and cleaner hitting. This video and your driver video, where you take the driver back and through the golf swing plane with the left hand only has helped my game a lot. Thank you 🤠🏌️

[@jonr3809]

This is a great blend of three classic swing drills. ('split hand', 'rod on grip' and 'paint brush') The graphics were a nice touch too. The arm and body positions from 4:40 through 4:48 are powerful AND square. The grip is strong through a beautiful arc. It would be interesting to see how that translates into face orientation at setup.

[@BambooBob]

Best golf instructor on KZbin!!!! "Hands Down"!!! 😉

[@GolfWannaBePro]

in many videos of technique explanation we learn also one key point of golf. Imagination! Your examples are just awesome!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you all the best

[@Jim-nz8cw]

Throwing the paint example is best tip i' ve ever had. Swing finally feels effortless and am able to swing in to out

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing John

[@ichewtoast111]

This is single-handedly, the best video I’ve ever watched on golf lessons. Did everything you said and ended up hitting the 150 yard flag pole which made a loud noise.

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome to hear

[@nvdsingh9271]

Danny, you nailed it. Lock the upper right arm to the upper body and work the way upwards.

[@DanielMaude]

All the best 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@simondavies3288]

Made the golf swing easy. Takes all the horrible technical aspects out of teaching and adds in great understanding, cheers Danny 🎉

[@kevinspencer8036]

Fabulous video Danny, really great use of visualisation. Easy for a non techie golfer like me to understand. Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Kevin, all the best

[@hightop42]

This may be your best instruction video yet. I can’t wait to go to the range and practice this.

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun Terry

[@andrewbarwick8558]

Finally felt like a could hit better iron shots today after this, stopped topping almost every single shot and actually felt my trailing arm working like the video said it should, this has been the most productive of the very many videos I've watched, thanks. Now about driver...

[@lepepus]

What a great image! Not only does it promote the right timing but tempo as well! Brilliant!

[@robratcliff8892]

Paint then splatter! Brilliant image and feel!

[@salsalumundo9406]

Danny you are the best.... my game has improved dramatically because of you! Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Sal, really happy to help

[@greghankins1655]

This has made this move more simple and clear than any other video I’ve seen! Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

No problem Greg 👍

[@alexpotter8337]

Something about this drill clicked today, I’ve been having trouble with consistently striking irons and fighting a slice. By focussing on the ‘paint brush’ feeling it allowed me hit down on the ball and maintain a forward shaft lean far more consistently and also naturally helped me reduce my over the top and getting too handsy on the downswing. Really focussed on trusting the lower body rotation squaring the face rather than manipulating with hands and arms and worked a treat. High, straight ball flight with a slight fade bias which is my natural shape. Cheers Danny 👍🏻

[@timholsworth316]

So many things I liked about this video. The paint brush splatter, the way you describe the process, and what to avoid. I would encourage everyone to view this again and focus on how your legs are working as you swing. Top notch instruction! Thank you!!

[@joetroupe893]

Thanx, Danny. This video is just in time. Last week I crushed a drive from the 17th green tee box, hitting way past the other three. The best drive of my life, only to screw up my iron shot to the green. A familiar story, I am sure. With this new knowledge, and proper practice, perhaps I can now hit better iron shots.

[@DanielMaude]

Really hope so Joe, let me know how you get on

[@peacelily720]

😅😁🤣

[@chriswicker7301]

I have played golf all my life and never understood how to know where the club face is during the swing until watching your video. I can’t wait to continue to work on your swing principles….thanks Danny!!

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure Chris, all the best

[@kevmurt9109]

Tremendous imagery and yet more crystal-clear instruction. Thanks, Danny!

[@charliegould2087]

Danny, first time I’ve really noticed how many camera angles you employ. Makes for terrific viewing. Same with the graphics. Nice, very nice

[@davidemmerson2173]

Great bit of tuition Danny. Tried it out on the course today. Irons felt much better on strike and were overall more accurate. I even adapted the technique on my woods and one of my hybrid clubs. There was a definite improvement there too.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s brilliant David

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

I love the paint splatter analogy. Great vid!

[@ronniekanhai1608]

Fantastic video Danny, Ill be putting this into practise

[@brianwaldrup5502]

Nice.. How strange.. That is what I do for a living.. Going to try & apply this when I play on my next round at my local course.. Thank You for the video..

Your instruction has made a significant improvement in my game. have been practicing your drills. Very helpful. thanks Danny...

Perfect timing! I haven't been consistent. What a spectacular drill. Thank you so much. Danny. you're such a great coach

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Michele

[@donnawilson9011]

Thanks Danny! I love these little mantras...under, which has helped my driver, and paint the wall and splatter. Easy to remember and helps to stay on focus. I had low gross in the B flight for our first day of our league today.

[@DanielMaude]

Wonderful!

[@kimnewling5728]

Split hand drill is awesome. I wish my season was longer.

[@carlosGarcia-xl1ql]

Great drill!! It’s like you saw me at the range yesterday. I took a video of my swing and I noticed thatI am releasing the club really early. Can’t wait to try it!!

Have fun Carlos

The visualisation makes so much sense, can't wait to try this out Danny. Thank you!

Thanks Mason happy to help 😁

[@michaelwatson9500]

Hi Danny , could you please take this routine over to the Driver? Cheers ( Great video)

[@scotttracey4015]

Well done Danny.! Good visual instruction.

[@JREvora]

Took your advise to the course and it was a “Eureka!” moment! Keeping my hands ahead of my ball consciously kept me line with my target! I didn’t even have to hit the ball as hard and I was hitting my lengths. Thanks, Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome well done

[@PipeaStripeGolf]

This is a great visual Danny! 🎨 Wish I had watched this yesterday 😂 I love that this incorporates the release! Cheers!

[@mdeodar]

Life makes sense again after a Danny Maude lesson. Thanks.. 🙂

[@DanielMaude]

[@jsant24]

Great visualization of the swing. I was coming over the top yesterday at the driving range and now I have a drill to try to correct what I was doing wrong.

[@jonwright8236]

just bought two alignment sticks so will give this a go

Perfect drill. I’m sure when I try today it will help me! Thanks again Danny and enjoy your weekend sir 😀

[@johns6813]

I watched your vid on drivers for seniors and tested it yesterday and the results were amazing. My drives were about 30 to 40 yards further and 80% down the fairway! Thanks Danny! Looking forward to practicing the irons today. I'm 64 and just started playing 4 years ago.

[@DanielMaude]

Brilliant John well done 👍

[@peerjuelrasmussen1024]

Love the way you find simple analogiens to illustrate what is the right thing to do, as opposed to try to “kill the golf ball” (rush the downswing).

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Peer

[@destroyateets5580]

Danny you are by far the best at breaking things down in a simple way. You have helped me so much. I’m a 8 handicap trying to become scratch I feel like with your videos I might get there. Thank you keep em coming

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome

[@moonroc2]

Have learned a lot from your videos. This instruction really brought a lot together for me. Not just with irons. I can now feel the movement through the ball and the proper finish. God bless you! Thank you!

Danny what great advice. Loved your video so much i went to the range this morning and watched your video. Was so impressed went again after work to prove it wasn't a one off 😊 Wow I'm hitting so much straighter thanks to your tips. Excellent stuff as always.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome Stevie, well done

[@tsc9034]

Danny, I refer to you as a genius, but I fear this understates your level of expertise. Thank you for your exceptionally good videos.

[@biggregg5]

Exactly what I was looking for. I felt I was going around my body too much because I was really trying to be connected and compact. Just yesterday, I employed a different feel that, I think, is more appropriate. The rod will help with the feel and consistency. I'm definitely going to make it a part of my warm up routine. Thanks!

[@danpost6418]

Best part of Saturday is a new video from Danny. Always helpful

[@stevenboyd2506]

Great images. I have tried - forever - to keep my hands ahead of the ball with little success. Now I use the image of the clubhead staying behind my back (of course it isn't) while my body rotates. It works on the range - just need to get it working on the course. I'll certainly try the paintbrush.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you James, welcome to our community

[@Far2hip]

WOW!!! I went out today and put this to work exactly how you laid it out. While going after the first ball it felt weird coming down, but once I made contact it immediately made sense. You can ABSOLUTELY feel the difference in compression on that ball and it explodes off the club face. But, it feels very solid, comfortable, and consistently controllable once you grind that path and position into the swing. That was a revelation, lol. That was really cool and made a very big difference. Nice!! Thank you!!! AGAIN, LOL!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure Scott !

[@rdokty]

Hey - I think it's great that so many people seem to be helped by your videos and other golf instruction videos but, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, given the amount of golf instruction videos out there by so many "highly respected" instructors, with all due respect, why aren't their more really good golfers out there?

[@DanielMaude]

I think there could be many answers to that. One could be people misinterpret lessons, coaches like me don’t put it across well enough, golfers aren’t patient enough often looking for a quick fix. There are many reasons. It takes time to improve. I do believe if we all had more of a child like mindset and were willing to mess up more often we would get better quicker

[@spencerfitzgerald5955]

Hey Danny. I love this video. I have been striking irons sort of badly so this video helps. Can you make a video about stopping a dreaded overswing where the lead arm is straight and the club overswings?

[@dbquek]

Great video, thank you Danny !

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure, really hope it helps
