Danny your lessons have taken me from a 14 HC to a 10 and still improving rapidly. I shot a 42 and 37 yesterday. Such an amazing difference. Your tips are super simple. Thank you so so much. Love you and your channel. Rory Pringle

[@DanielMaude]

Brilliant Rory! Well done 😁, thanks for taking the time to comment 👍

[@rolirolster]

It works!! The unexpected benefit is I feel really stable in the golf swing and this informs me what I was doing wrong before (moving around too much in the wrong planes). Also I'm playing faster, because I have a simple guide in my head, I'm not thinking about my hands, or elbow or shallowing the club, it all just happens. Plus my draw has come back. The chipping seems to work from any kind of lie and I just can't believe how simple this is! All other lessons must be watched with the table-top method in mind. Thank you Danny, I'll never be able to repay you for all the joy you've brought into my golfing life, you're a hero, sir!

[@johnanthony6324]

Genius! My journey , as erratic as it is, is made safe by your simplicity, common sense, and honesty! By far the most effective Golf coach worldwide on KZbin! Thanks Danny, proper lad!

In one sense it's unbelievable you have 1.4m subscribers in such a short space of time and started your channel a lot later than most. But it's also very believable as your coaching style and communication is second to none. Keep this up buddy, 2m is easily within reach.

Interesting, I have been using your similar technique you spoke about a few months ago, whereby you imagine you're trying to avoid hitting someone. I think this is better and you also explained why sometimes I felt like even though I was getting good contact, the ball wasn't going as far as it should. Thanks again, Danny. You've given me something else to work on just before the season ends!

[@JustStartedGolf]

Just got a set of clubs yesterday and went to the driving range. Probably the best part is i have ended up hooked onto your videos straight away to learn grip, driving, using wood and now short game tips! Thanks Danny

[@bigmountain7561]

Honestly now when I play here in Sarasota and the course across the street from my house doesn’t look like June 6 at Omaha Beach I play only 150 and in. That’s it I don’t use the tee box anymore because it’s really a waste of time and effort. I carry 4 clubs and my putter and have a great time. My gap wedge is my favorite club and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I really love playing a full round when it’s cold and windy out because it’s much more comfortable and enjoyable. Thanks Danny I’ve watched you for a long while and just love your common sense insights to the game. God Bless 🙏

I genuinely appreciate the “simple” everyday metaphors, Danny. Picturing a table top is genius, and it gives a lot of newer golfers something they can visualize.

Thank you Tommy

Perfect explanation. Final step would be going to the range and doing that with all of your wedges (even 7i, 8i) to get a wedge chart. Then it's one swing and change the club based on the yardage and height.

I’ve used this method for about a year now and it saves me 3 strokes a round. As long as I focus on the ground contact about an inch in front of the ball, and relying on the clubs bounce to prevent sticking the leading edge from club into the ground. When you learn the firmness of your greens you will see handicap lowering results.

Danny thanks for another great video. What would you do to impart check spin on the ball so that it doesn't run on too far?

Science, look at spin loft. Ultimately if you can make clean contact you will create enough spin. Factors affecting spin - angle of attack - lost - quality of ball - clean club face - clean contact

[@Docdaddy56]

Thank you for another great lesson. I know you recommended a 56 degree wedge for pitching in another video. Would you use a 52 from further out or just increase your swing arc to get more distance? Or was the 52 for chipping?

[@rolirolster]

It depends, you can only answer that question yourself really. Go to a range with your wedges and find out what feels comfortable to you. With pitching you always want to feel in control, so if you feel like you're having to swing too much for a 50-80 yard shot with the 56, switch to the 52. I personally have been using this table-top method and it works a treat with all of my wedges. If the green is tight or downhill I'll use a 56, if I have a lot of space or it's uphill, I'll use a 52 for a bit more rollout. Sorry I'm not Danny, but I think he'd say something similar. Have you had a chance to try this technique yet?
