HOW TO RELEASE THE GOLF CLUB

[@bigsisterSuzy]

I have to say that this lesson was a light bulb moment for me. I did not realize I had the club so far inside or behind me. I played nine holes last week using the concept of the 45 degree position and my ball striking greatly improved. Distance increased as well as accuracy. No instructor I have seen teaches this simple concept. Thanks many times over Danny!

[@robertford4119]

I'm brand new to your site,and I'm prepared to change my swing. I'm 79 years old, but in good shape. Yesterday I played and started to make changes to my swing. I didn't play well due to my mental and physical change,however I'm starting to hit several shot better than before. On the last two holes I put it all together onthe 2 par 4s and I reached the green in 2. First ever,thanks to you .it's just a matter of time to change my old swing to your new swing mentally,to the point it becomes habitual. I'm on my way.Thet swing motion you showed your Dad,has helped me greatly. So simplified.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Robert, welcome for the channel

[@dannylaw7367]

I'm listed as a three when I'm on my game, but from time to time I get side tracked with things I think will help my swing but in fact do little except cause me frustration about why I'm not hitting it solidly. I can simply listen to mine and others swing sound to tell if they're a good player or not. The ball makes a hissing sound or sizzle sound off the face of the club when I'm compressing that shot. My point is that this clip is the best clip I ever watched that explains the release so easily and correctly and has me back on track once again compressing that ball. I appreciate the good work and nice explanation. Only golfers understand the beauty of hitting a shot where the ball explodes off the face like it's got another gear and hisses out of site and brings a smile to your heart. Not many in this world ever experience this it seems to me, but I absolutely love it..

[@mikecrosbie5850]

Danny I would like to thank you for a video you posted 2 years ago. How to release the golf club. I watched it last night. You talked about your dad and how he was confused as to when to start the release, as was I. You explained about the 45 degree angle and your hips matching. Well I tried it today and my irons were exploding off the club face. I have suffered with slicing my driver for years. Today 95% were line balls landing 240 yards. Your video switched on a light bulb for me and I just want to say "thank you so much " Maybe a remake of this would help more people. Kind regards Mike Crosbie.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing Mike, thanks for sharing. One of my favourite ones this. If you look in the background of that video you will see my dad walking down the fairway with a silly hat on 😁

[@swisstrader]

Love conversations w Dad. My fathers memorial is tmrrw. He was not a golfer but still a great Dad❤️

[@mvdolphins]

Danny, thank you so much, this may be a CRUCIAL part of my swing that I was missing and I can't believe none of the instructors I've had never mentioned it, it seems so obvious and it's like finding the missing link. You are my golf hero buddy, I love your instruction videos, you also provide the nicest and most comprehensive guidance. Sincere thanks for making me a better golfer and help me enjoy this great sport even more!!

[@DanielMaude]

So awesome to hear, thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@rodralph824]

Danny I watch this all the time. It’s gold Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

One of my favourites

[@SwayPromo]

I just wanted to let you know that this is the perfect video and if people listen and study what you’re saying their balls striking will get better through the bag. From wedge to driver even sand play. For the first time ever I found the release. And all along I was told wrong. The thing is that unless the club is traveling on plane around your body like a 45 degree hollahoop. (On a perfect plane and arc around your body) unless it’s doing this then the club won’t naturally release. I did this today practiced It. Got a feel for It and I was stroking all my clubs so much better and EFFORTLESS It felt like. Just turn and as long as its on plane the club will do the work. Awesome explanation.

[@shrimboy7492]

It worked. 45 degree tip did it for me. First I did it with just the arms. Then I took it back up, held it, initiated the hip turn, the arms started to come down back into that 45 degree position and every ball flights went straight. It worked for Drivers, woods, and irons. THANK YOU SIR!

[@DanielMaude]

I love this one too Ray

[@shrimboy7492]

Played 18 holes today... my drives were amazing. Of course not every hole but 80 percents were straight and land within the fairway. My friends were shocked at the big improvement. Irons plays were also much better. I didn get the distant but they were straight toward the intended target. Woods were still hit and miss but I nailed two long par 3 straight as an arrow with 3 wood from the tee. Just didn' have the distant. I also had a sandie birdie. Your video on chipping really help! @@DanielMaude

[@ultramoo]

Your video makes so much sense. This is exactly what I've been trying to achieve and been struggling so much. (still am but i'm getting closer thanks to you) no other coach has been able to explain this to me no matter how much they tried. I have paid tons on 1on1 coaching from multiple coaches but it seems 3 of your videos improved me more than any of the coaching. Much respect.

[@DanielMaude]

ultramoo really appreciate you letting me know, thank you

[@Jus-Too-Smoove]

Your videos just make sense Danny. Truly the one coach on KZbin that I have learned the most from

[@pohoresky]

I totally agree the best video on a release ever made. Most teachers don't go there if not all except you.

[@tinytoons2517]

Bloody hell . . where have you been all my life Mr Maude, blimey, its like night and day, you explain it in WHAT U C IS WHAT U DO terms, so simple but very do-able, bless you Danny and your tribe, I will say unequivocally say that this has to be one of the best tutorials I have ever had.

[@seanburke4482]

I have read many articles, viewed many videos and do not recall ever seeing someone show the 45 degree angle as you approach the impact zone. I was feeling blocked as I approaches the impact zone.This 45 degree angle picture is a great reference point for me. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Sean, one of my favourite images this one, all the best for the new year

[@bigsisterSuzy]

Danny I think this may be one of your best videos. It takes in so many important concepts in the golf swing. I believe that how the brain “sees” the swing determines what the golfer attempts in the move to the ball. Holding on to flawed concepts just leads to compensation and inconsistent strikes. I know I am guilty of that. You are a great help. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Lawrence, this is one of my personal favourites too...I use this myself weekly

[@phill5028]

Thanks again for this video. It's the best one for me yet. My friends can't believe that at 84 yrs. old, I can still compete with them and sometimes out drive them. You are doing a great job. Thanks Again

[@DanielMaude]

phil l just wonderful to hear at 84 you are putting in the work to get better...inspiration.

[@phill5028]

Thanks. your videos have been a great help. @@DanielMaude

[@DanielMaude]

phil l my pleasure

[@judymamayek6880]

Great Video Danny- Keeping your shoulders back and maintaining a 45 degree angle, cannot wait to try it

[@DanielMaude]

You can do it Judy

[@susanne-ly7xn]

Danny, this video ist a game changer for me. I was so unhappy with my iron shots and I didn't know how to fix this. Now I have some checkpoints and my shots are so much better. Thanks a lot!

[@tp-vz7od]

An absolutely fundamental video. Should be included in the top ten golfing videos ever. Thanks!

[@georgedillon1166]

Danny is by far the best video teacher on KZbin and other sites

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind George, I know there are some great coaches around

[@jamesstevens4177]

I’ll second that. Absolutely top drawer

[@nickleen7896]

Wow. I tried this and WOW!!!! Solid contact and straighter ball flight for the majority of my shots. I liked what Danny was saying. I grabbed a club and had a few swings in my back yard. I went straight to the range and hit balls. WOW!!!

[@alexdemner9526]

I keep going back to this video time and time again. One of my favourite videos of yours , hit 75 gross today off 12. Not bad for an old man. Cheers Danny your a superstar

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing Alex, well done

[@vj19xrk9]

Great lesson, Danny. This is the best method to achieve a consistent release through impact for me. The 45* checkpoint is the swing key I’ve been looking for. Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

J. Robert Becker, my pleasure, glad it resonated with you

[@ixgolf6277]

This video is a "must", if I had to choose one among thousands to explain the release I would surely choose this one, it says a lot of very deep golf concepts in a way that seems simple, easy to understand and practice, absolutely brilliant. And it really makes me think of Malaska, which I follow faithfully, but talking about releasing the club, I think this one beats any other I've seen. Huge thanks mr. Maude. Thank you

[@DanielMaude]

Thats very kind of you to comment, I haven't seen much of Malaska but will check him out

[@ronhawking6745]

Hey Danny, This video has been a "God Send!!" I just returned from the driving range and I was hitting the ball so much better. The 45 degree concept (once I figured it out) is going to be a game changer for me. Love this video...Thank you so much.

[@DanielMaude]

One of my personal favourites Ron, hope it helps your golf game as much as it has done mine

[@smoker3998]

Danny Maude is an outstanding, relatable instructor.

[@kevinmurphy8644]

Totally understand the vid now thanks -- So Danny - where is the speed created please if not with the wrists

[@bobcarrera3858]

Finally! An easy-to-understand, no "golf-speak" explanation of the release! Thank you, Danny.

[@oskarmac14]

You are among the best instructors on video. Your concepts are so spot on! Now, if I could only follow it! My issue, like millions of amateurs, is ball striking ( ball then turf). This video REALLY explains the right hand function on the down swing. Thank you, sir.

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure and thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@galelights129]

Excellent vid. Probably the only vid you'll ever need to improve ball striking.

[@DanielMaude]

Paul Gale thank you Paul, love this drill

[@ritalcoyne6253]

I'm anxious to try this. I tried using my driver today and was slicing most of my drive,. very frustrating .Thanks , Danny.Always find your videos helpful.

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Rita

[@martinandellie]

One of the best explanations I have ever heard about delivery position of the club, the two 45 degree angles complimenting each other...brilliant

[@gratickner]

This is the best video I have ever seen in relation to club release. Thankyou for giving such a simple description of this movement.

[@DanielMaude]

gratickner, my pleasure, thank you

[@rosengarten3369]

I was looking 22 golfing years for such an easy golf swing. i tried it on the range today and it worked out perfectly for me. Thank you, Danny, it was the best golf lesson, i've ever had.

[@CraigHofer1]

Great and essential information. Thank you. I found that swinging one arm only (both left and right) is a great self teacher (you taught me that) combined with your video on pitching and the importance of side bend and this video on how to achieve the proper release has helped me improve my golf and enjoyment of golf immensely. Been at it for 50+ years. Old dogs can learn if they have a good teacher.

[@DanielMaude]

So good to hear Craig 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@johnnyboy7208]

Hey Matt thanks these tips are great Ive adopted them and they work.When I miss hit Im coming up on my backswing .When you say stay low on the the follow through the same goes for your backswing with hybrids.Jordan Spieth says imagine you are hitting under a ceiling.When I added this tip of keeping my back under a ceiling with your tips I found my hybrid mojo

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Johnny, my name is Danny 😎

[@dseveno8254]

Yep. This is a big one. People have been told for so long not to come over the top (which is of course good information) that they're overcompensating and coming into the ball on an inside plane that makes a hands-forward release impossible. I just learned this lesson last week (after having made this same mistake myself for 30+ years). Great lesson. One additional point. You can also get stuck without coming in too inside if you do what I did for years (in addition to coming in too far from the inside) which is to start the downswing by firing the left hip massively leftward. There's a big difference between a "hip bump" to initiate the downswing, and just flat-out sliding of the lower body to the left. Killed my game for decades.

[@DanielMaude]

DsevenO, great explanation of the swing and possible faults... very helpful

[@samg8761]

yes yes !!

[@brettcigars4452]

your spot on , good advise.

[@micksault6068]

brilliant video Danny, i first watched this over a year ago but i didnt really take it on board properly . I have now done this and it has totally transformed my game leading to more consistent ball striking .

[@DanielMaude]

That’s brilliant Mick, thanks for taking the time to get in touch

[@corneliuscronin3024]

You have made this mystery called release very clear. Thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

Very welcome

[@m.thomas2589]

I explained your 45* angle takeaway drill to my wife today at the range. It straightened out her shots and she gained a fair amount of distance. So thanks again

[@DanielMaude]

M. Thomas that’s brilliant, pass on my regards and congratulations 👍

[@m.thomas2589]

I'm a 2 handicap and thought I had a bunch of the swing figured out. But I had to watch this video several times and each time I got something new from it. BTW the way I get in the correct delivery position is I start the backswing by taking the clubhead straight back from the ball at the beginning. This works for me, I wonder if you would teach that or if it's wrong. I hit the ball dead straight most of the time, because having that 45* delivery angle seems to keep the face square through impact a long time. Also, I think one of the pearls in this video is where you say we want to swing down not around. You didn't use the word but I think this is why most don't get proper compression on the ball, losing distance @@DanielMaude

[@DanielMaude]

M. Thomas I don’t have a problem with that at all, sounds good to me 😁

[@jmlgonzalez]

Excellent video as usual, It opened my mind on how to swing, I have never seen the swing as I see it now, its easier to swing this way, put the club into delivery position back and down. Very clear, cant wait to go to the driving range. Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you happy to help Jml!

[@johnr2632]

Very good information and helps me a lot as confirmation of what I am currently working on. I have improved a lot by getting the backswing feeling more out in front of my torso, which has helped me get in the right position to hit on the downswing. Before I was taking the club way to much around the body with no lift of the arms. Now I just think about lifting the arms in front of me and turning the shoulders. One other thing - I suffered (suffer) from flipping. Have done this all my life and I see it's quite common in people. I think you mentioned it... the release is natural... I now don't do anything with my wrists, I just let them react to the swing. It's my only swing thought - NO wrists, just let it happen.

[@DanielMaude]

Love this John, sounds perfect

[@malcolmroden8369]

Agree 100% with comment/s below, at last someone explains in detail for a mid to high handicapper to understand. Thank you Danny 👍

[@martindonnelly3654]

Cause and effect, so important to understand in golf and this video does it so well. Many videos talk about that release position, but few, if any, talk about the fact that if you are in the wrong position before the release, the proper release can not be achieved, excellent video, keep up the good work.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Martin, appreciate you getting involved

[@BoloFrancis]

What a great explanation of check points and release. Thanks Danny for another golden nugget. A simple game made complicated by people!

[@DanielMaude]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@impossiblegolf]

Danny, I've been following you for a long time. I know that I'll get sound advice from your videos. This one is particularly good for me. I finally got the idea about where the release happens. Your advice has made all the difference. Now my swings produce shots that are straighter and farther. I feel as though, finally, my swing works as it's supposed to. Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Sean appreciate the support 😁

[@samg8761]

This is such a big help for me. I fixed my over the top but then, I have to work very hard to release and swing thru. There were days I can hit really good irons shots but there were days I felt like totally lost.... This video really clear out my thoughts and help me to find the missing pieces. Thank you. Very very helpful. There are great players but cant really teach and there are good teachers but not necessary can demonstrate well. I believe you are both!!

[@DanielMaude]

Ill been looking for a golf coach to talk about how to get into the proper delivery/release position. Great Job Danny; It makes a lot of sense. Hitting my irons much better.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Jeff, if you practice this golf drill it can really help you release the golf club more consistently

[@poidash1]

Wow! You do put a lot of effort to explain these tips. I think they are great. I don't understand how people could give these a thumbs down. Keep them coming I say. 👍👍👍

[@DanielMaude]

Poida S very kind of you to take time to feedback...I will always get thumbs down...still room for improvement

[@WALTERMITTIE]

This is Mike Malaska "over the top from the inside" ie dynamically the club head is coming over the top of the hands from the top of the downswing to impact, This explains how this happens beautifully if you are on plane and don't manipulate the club head unduly with the forearms but allow the momentum in the club head to work. Love it.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you, yes the key is always to get the gravity of the golf club always working back to a position where it can be used effectively

[@williamfrost1381]

Brilliant, just started back after a 6 yr layoff and your videos are awesome. Not sure you’ll see this but thanks!

[@davestewart9120]

As other people have said,I had no idea that my club was too far inside on the backswing.Thanks Danny.Your instructions is simple and easy to to follow even for an old fart like me

[@jonathanhooper3397]

Early release has been my problem for years. I will work on your message and hope it helps. Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how you get on Jonathan

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Danny haven’t been on one of your videos for awhile. But I went through everything to fix a slice. I managed to turn it into a slight nice fade with everything. A bowed wrist, hitting inside of ball etc, but I’m sorry to say for me it’s been the release. And maybe I missed it or it’s supposed to be a known factor for the swing but none of teaching I’ve saw says anything about the release is what turns the ball over. I even tried to call myself out on this and was on the range just snapping things hooking it just to see. I was even setting clubface open at a 45 degree angle and was still snapping it over. Swear it’s the same for all us slicers we don’t know to release the club.

[@DanielMaude]

Watch this weeks video as it will be a huge help. Comes out Saturday at 8:00 GMT

[@KnucklesJohnny]

Absolutely genius video Danny. This nails it in a way that is easy to visualize and understand. Nothing groundbreaking but just a great explanation of a powerful release. This method looks like you can go ahead and crush it and know it's going to land in the short grass. Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure John, thanks for sharing

[@attuser7167]

This is the best release drill ever. I actually understand the process. Thank you Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure, all the very best

[@dementus420]

Great video Danny. I missed this one somehow when it came out. As you probably remember, I'm teaching my dad also, so we're on the same journey with that. You want him to do well so badly and hate to ever see him frustrated, so it's such a great thing to have KZbin to help out. Really, I came to understand a while back that the true key to having a great golf swing is intimately knowing it in your mind. I realized all of a sudden after being such a student of golf for so long that I have an immense bank of knowledge about it and that realization kind of caught me off guard, but was a very good thing! I mean, you'll never be able to do brain surgery unless you understand the brain. Golf is no different. I send my dad all of your videos so that I can further his knowledge and help him get better even if all he's doing is staring at his tablet. Cheers.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats lovely to hear Oliver, I think its great that you have that connection with your Dad. I just love spending time playing golf with mine

[@whetedge]

This is good info. The golfer doesn't release the club; the club releases, and if it's in the wrong place or attitude on the runway, impact will be poor to disastrous. That's when the golfer starts trying to manipulate release, which is in itself a big loss of power. It's a vicious circle until you get into the right position prior to release. It's far better to forget about release and focus on _swinging_ the club. Release will take care of itself.

[@DanielMaude]

Brilliantly put, thanks for sharing

[@Sansfaim]

Your dad and I must be in tune. I’ve been practicing the broom handle drill all week, but was unhappy with the release and I was going to contact you for a video on that. This has really cleared it up for me. Brilliant.👍👍

[@DanielMaude]

Sansfaim, that’s great...I thought this could help

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing to hear Jim, well done

[@stevekanaracus3569]

Another superb vidoe by Danny. Matches the video telling you to release the club beyond the ball. 45 degree match of the shaft and hips is very insightful Important to delay shoulder turn on downswing. Again Danny addresses the problem of not releasing the clubhead, a devastaitng error if you are on the pro tour.

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

Using the weight of the club head is a great mental and tangible swing thought at release. Well said sir.

[@terryhayes2487]

One of the best explanations I have heard, when I do this right it is so effortless. My problem is when my shoulders turn at the same time my front hip opens up, then the shaft gets steep and I swing over the top. Any suggestion on how I can correct this lack of separation of the shoulders and hips?

[@eugenespencer3577]

You are an excellent instructor. You address cause & effect issues like no one else. Releasing the club "flat wristed" vs "rolling" the wrists has always befuddled me. You explain it well (as I understand it) as a result of one's swing plane. One problem I have is when my release is "flat wristed", I sometimes flip my wrists. It's impossible to flip my wrists when I'm rolling them. Any comments about this?

[@DanielMaude]

Eugene Spencer the flip of the wrists happens because you the grip end of the club works away from the body through impact as opposed to towards it

[@michaelbredelin9591]

Best video ever seen on screen regarding that important part of the down swing from a "ballistic" point of view whereby the angle of 45 degrees gives the best result in terms of height and distance. A question: Does the release point to the initiation of the catapult momentum correspond with the lowest point of the radius of the down swing, whereby this lowest point is defined by the point on the target line pointed to by the sternum? Example: Iron 7 - Lowest point defined by the sternum shlightly behind the ball. Iron 4 - Lowest point defined by the sternum in relation to the stands approximately on top of the ball. Driver - Lowest point defined by the sternum behind the ball. Thanks for reply Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

It does indeed Michael

[@doc2help]

[@sammcgraa4182]

Danny , I've been following your videos for a while , everything is so perfectly explained and I love the teaching , however when it came to the downswing , I felt like I was going to come over the top , I was so obsessed with trying to re route the arms on the downswing to a more inside path. This angle shows what I thought was coming over the top , isn't really coming over the top! I hope you can address this in a video as I'm sure this could help a lot of golfers who are messing around with the arms trying to "shallow" them out like I was.

[@DanielMaude]

I know, I should have mentioned this, the 45 degree position is just after the point where the club is parallel to the foot line

[@paulc7101]

Very nicely done, Danny. The 45 degree idea in the downswing is brilliant.

[@DanielMaude]

Paul C, glad it helps...I like this concept and it’s pretty easy to practice

[@adnanhaddadi7955]

Danny, I wished I followed you sooner. Your content is so clear and easy to follow for golfers of all levels. Thanks mate. 👍🏽

[@DanielMaude]

Great to have you here, we have a great community of golfers who are very active

[@rickoh7578]

Danny, this one of my saved lessons for sure. Sometimes older golfers ( me ) have a little bit of a problem opening the hips to 45 degrees on the down swing. I’ve found that pre-setting my hips to an open stance helps me get through the ball. Is there a down side to pre-setting the hips to 45 degrees on the setup.

[@28russ]

I kinda do that and I've wondering about it a bit myself. How's it workin out for ya? Ithink maybe it would promote a slice more though, but I'm no Danny Maude lol

Hi Danny I just want to say I've been watching your videos for a while now and managed to get down to 12 but I'm still a little inconsistent but after watching this video on how to relaese and practicing on my GC2 at home my release and swing over all has improved allowing me to hit the ball harder and further with a slight draw, hopefully 2020 is my year for singles figures lol keep up the good work and thank you for the great videos. jay sangha

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome and Im really pleased to help you along your journey

[@andyredick345]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for breaking down the release into micro details. It helped so much. I also really like your video using the Pete Cowan technique to help feel the proper position at the top of the back swing. Finally the video showing the difference between the iron and driver on the down swing and impact. Went to the range today using your instructions and was hammering both the irons and driver! Your the best!!!

Danny honestly this might be one of the best videos I have seen on KZbin and I have seen a lot, fantastic explanation, thanks

[@DanielMaude]

Keith Newton, thank you Keith I really do appreciate all the support

[@keithn1]

Danny Maude with that idea in mind I've just this minute got back from the range, what a revelation, I've just hit the ball the best i have in years, i play off 7 but was off 4 hc 3 years ago when all of a sudden i couldn't hit it off the tee, thanks immensely for that explanation, will definitely be looking to coming down to Canterbury for a lesson, thanks Keith

[@DanielMaude]

Keith Newton that’s great Keith, look forward to catching up soon

[@angelocontraveos5801]

Danny Maude The idea and the explanation is very good,doing it is another story.

[@DanielMaude]

Angelo Contraveos lots of exercises without hitting balls is where to start. Once you get the feeling it will just click

[@michaelharrington5642]

Thanks Danny! This video really helped me with not only proper release but swing plane. Really appreciate your videos!

[@DanielMaude]

Michael Harrington, thanks Michael, happy to help

[@jboy5744]

Do you actually try to hold body back and release after ball contact. This video explains what I do and maybe even how I fix my issue, great stuff Danny Maude. I forwarded this to three friends in need.

[@DanielMaude]

John Simmons I certainly feel like I’m holding the body back as the torso always wants to rotate too early in the downswing

[@m4wilson]

Game changer for me! Thank you Danny! Very very good! And Simple! It really really helps!

[@DanielMaude]

Great to hear! 😁

[@braddstrumke6528]

Watched a few of his videos took his advice did his drills shot a 90 today. Not too shabby to end my 1st year of playing

[@DanielMaude]

Thats awesome Bradd, bring on the new year

Hi Danny, thank you so much for this most excellent video, I can’t wait to practice it. Been working hard on my release over the last couple of weeks with fantastic results since watching your videos. My irons I’m striking so well for a mid handicapper. My driver however has become a bit of an issue. I was on a launch monitor with a rear view camera, I was really pleased with my swing plane on the backswing, wrist angles good, dropping club on transition, club travelling in to out, marvellous. Then the monitor tells me I’m 6 to 7 degrees out to in, strike all over the place (lots of toe shots). Now finding this video, my path is to shallow on the backswing and I was concentrating on connecting my right elbow back to my hip, with shaft parallel and releasing. Just been practicing this movement without a club and it feels so so good, no more crumbling left elbow. Can’t wait to get back on the monitor. Your a top man Danny, thank you

[@DanielMaude]

La La brilliant, if you have any questions just ask

[@stuartholmes6262]

Wow. That's a brilliant coaching video Danny, even by your high standards.

[@DanielMaude]

I appreciate that Stuart,

[@KSB1222]

Excellent video! I am probably the same age as your dad, and have had an outside in swing for a long time. I believe this lesson will help me correct that...thanks

[@DanielMaude]

Ken B, I hope it does Ken, keep me updated

[@stephenhenderson6029]

Danny. I just found this old video. If I may make a suggestion, you should re-post this video. This lesson cures so many faults in backswing, downswing and release. It stopped my improper weight shift, back and forward and had me concentrating on matching the butt of my club to my hip line at 45 degrees. I pulled my first few shots, but your video easily explained the cause. Shots got straight and well struck. This video pairs very well with so many of your other videos ... especially ... don't turn weight shift video. This is an eye opener. I've never seen any other pro explain why you can't finish if you don't deliver the club correctly. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Stephen, one of my favourites

[@louispounds7486]

@@DanielMaudesecond the redo of this video, please include down the line with driver to, perhaps a slow Mo flow shoulder turn as well.
