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!

Dude I’ve been following you for a while and I just want to say thank you for all you do! You make things very understandable and give great drills for us to try! I have lowered my handicap thanks to you!

[@DanielMaude]

I appreciate that! Well done

[@christis7234]

I absolutely love your way of teaching! I enjoy your videos and can watch them for hours...still cannot do it myself though, but giving up is not an option. Thanks Danny for sending this out to the world!

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure Christine, consider an online lesson with me so I can have a look give an analysis and then suggest which videos I recommend you work on...if this sounds interesting simply contact my support team at [e-mail]. all the best,Danny

[@michaelmcclellan571]

Another Grreeat Video Danny. Love Your Analogies... Plane Landing .... Plane Taking Off.... Best Golf Instructor on KZbin. Keeping it Simple

[@waynekelly841]

I didn't have 1 bad tee off shot yesterday after using your tips. Thanks a million.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing Wayne, well done

[@dennisbogus6037]

That one was one of the best tips you have sent me made it so simple irons on the downswing of the hill and a driver on the upswing on the hill made it so easy easy to practice don’t have to think too much no positions great thank you I feel better already and I haven’t tried to drill out yet

[@DanielMaude]

Dennis Bogus really helps simplify the golf swing and more importantly feel the difference in the two

[@kevingiffin5313]

thank you for a simple and straightforward visual and verbal description of the 2 contrasting swing motions.

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure Kevin, appreciate the comment,

[@kevinminaldo5402]

Man, what an excellent video. You make it so understandable and easy. There is NEVER a time when I get as exited to practice golf then after watching a Danny Maude video!

Funny, then my work is done...love it

[@nicted9308]

Thanks Danny you make your lessons easy to understand, you are simply the best.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Nic, hope you've had a great start to the weekend

[@antinora3265]

Thanks again! I applied your suggestion to keep hands ahead of club head during iron impact. I had a GIR of 89% on a 40 par 9 course yesterday. I shot a 45. You're such a great teacher of golf. Cheers from Long Island USA

[@DanielMaude]

Thats amazing John, I bet that felt really great

[@seanpaulcleary4149]

Hi Danny, another great vlog. I need to thank you for helping shave 10 shots off my last round of golf on Saturday. I was suffering with he dreaded shanks so I looked up your video on shanking, watched it three times and only shanked 3 shots all day, as opposed to at least 12 or 13 per round in my previous 4 or 5 rounds. Its still there a bit but definitely improving. Paul

[@DanielMaude]

brilliant, well done Sean, my Dad as just recovered from the shanks

[@skintslots]

Strangely enough I've always imagined the plane taking off analogy for the driver but the iron analogy regarding the plane landing and gliding is an excellent swing thought. Great video again.Love your enthusiasm too.

[@valeriegardner2541]

So I studied this video for three days and finally took it to the course! No $hi! today i shot my best score ever!! Thank you Danny.

[@NonnyStrikes]

The point I'm at, this helps IMMENSELY! I love having different perspectives.

[@michaeljbrennan3728]

Thanks once again for some very useful information. Your style of teaching makes your lessons easy to learn understand.

[@DanielMaude]

Hope they are helping your golf game Michael

[@michaeljbrennan3728]

They are Danny. Still getting used to the switch to single length clubs. Your lessons are giving me things to work on in the front yard which is helping with the new clubs. Kind of a 2 for 1 deal.

[@mick19421]

Always to the point, and more importantly very useful.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Mick, hope you are having a great start to the weekend

[@philippeguerin8552]

Thank you Danny, it's again very clear… I am going to try tomorow on the practice… I become more regular with my swing now, much more than before with all your drill !

[@phehelloselepe3268]

hi Danny, this video sorted out so many of my problems, before i share it with my mate let me go beat them first. :-) thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

Love it, good luck

[@Brian-pc5xe]

Hey Danny I watched your first driver series video about hitting further and added 30-50 yards off the tee in the first day practicing with your tips. I’ve never hit the ball so far in my life and by the end they were going dead straight too. I don’t comment on videos often but felt inclined to say thank you. Liked and Subscribed 👍👍👍

[@DanielMaude]

Brian Ritchie very kind of you Brian, I really do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 👍

[@tomsmith5960]

Great explanation on the difference between hitting driver versus iron

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Tom all the best

[@cloudsrain8753]

very relevant review......thanks Danny! Will watch your second on this one too. Been struggling now all of a sudden between irons and driver.

[@DanielMaude]

How did you get on?

[@cloudsrain8753]

​@@DanielMaude Went to range today. Hit one or 2 200 yds carried but out of 60 balls. Doing things right from the most part. I need to make it a point to focus and then things work well. Still a bit of a struggle but much better. Helps to have things figured out before hand then while in the process of swing....lol. I think that is really key now. I got to have a game plan before no matter how bad or how good so I can focus. Stepping up to the batter's box and commit. Ty for the reply.

[@kevinokeefe1973]

For me some of the best videos I've seen, clear and easy to understand and practice, you have helped myself as a high handicapper who dosent play as often as would like to improve especially my iron striking where I would normally slice a bit, thanks Danny 👍

[@DanielMaude]

Kevin O'Keefe thank you Kevin, wonderful to hear that the videos are helping you enjoy this game 😁

[@mikehannon4097]

Starting a week of holidays and plan on lots of golf. Reviewing some videos before I play. Love the way you break it down.

Just caught up on your content again Danny after being away for a couple of weeks. Funny timing, as the tee peg in the ground drill to work on my iron striking has been top of my list to try!

[@keithwilson756]

This video helped me today at the range! Thanks!

[@thomasdavid7522]

This video, IRON SWING VS DRIVER SWING - Whats the difference?, seemes to contradict the video PERFECT GOLF BACK SWING FOR SENIOR GOLFERS regarding the driver. In this video sugggest dropping the back shoulder to launch the ball. In the other video you note dropping the forward shoulder and then slightly raising you back shoulder. Love your tips hope to attend you upcoming school.

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Thomas, thanks for taking the time to comment. Could you let me know where you where `I say the lead shoulder should be low with driver as if this is the case I certainly wouldn't advise you to haver the left shoulder lower than than the back shot for any club unless you are producing a speciality shot. Apologies for the confusion

[@billswitzer1516]

Excellent video explaining clearly the difference in hitting a driver and irons. Always look forward to your Brilliant videos! (Glad you located your golf shoes. LOL) Cheers Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Bill Switzer 😂 golf shoes back on, hope the video helps you with the basics of the driver and irons

Great drills Danny! How would you go about hitting long irons? Do you apply the take off method or is it the same method as striking your short to mid irons? Many thanks!

[@michaelcobb7666]

Danny, you are great. From across the pond in Canada.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Michael, is the weather starting to turn there now?

[@amenaiman3933]

I love it, i love playing golf. And i always use my way to hit the ball, and always lose. Now i get it. It good can learn and

[@robertpruitt6856]

That was very helpful! Love the airplane imaging.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Robert, which one do you prefer, iron swing or driver swing

[@robertpruitt6856]

@@DanielMaude I have been playing less than 3 months. Breaking 100 now but I wasn't sure about the differences in the swings for a driver and iron. I was thinking the club is longer on a driver so OK to be taller. Point is I didn't know and now I do. Thank you :-)

[@kevinberardino8912]

Hi Danny ,big fan ! I had a question in regards to where your hands should be .Should you drop your hands at all in setup ?I've seen people I play with do both. Some drop their hands (dropping the angel of the shaft and some people just drop the head of the club at setup and do not change the angel of the shaft.I hope my question is clear and not too confusing. Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

[@chadmacjack454]

Great stuff thanks Danny! 🙏

[@haydnhoward3124]

Hi Danny having some major issues with my driver at the moment. I went to Murcia about 6 weeks ago and was playing the best golf ever. Then out of know where started shanking my irons, couldn’t believe it but was bombing my driver. So I worked on my irons and getting my elbow in front more and bowing the wrist. As a result I have my driver face closed do hitting very low hooks and I can’t help grip the driver with a closed face. So I am trying to reverse what I have been doing to get my driver grip back to a neutral position. At the moment it is a very strong grip with my driver and feels very peculiar when try to grip the driver to get face is a neutral position. Any tips?

[@valeriegardner2541]

It will change your game!

[@twizgolfguy]

Thanks, Danny another great video. However, I struggle with early extension can you help with a video please.

[@DanielMaude]

Of course, Ive got a video coming up that will help with this

[@FilipTrax]

Great drills 🏌️‍♂️

[@benson9092]

Hello Danny I love watching your videos, they have been very helpful. Do you have any tips on reading the greens? So many times I believe it breaks a little right and it actually goes a little left?

[@DanielMaude]

Have you tried using your feet to feel the slope as opposed to using your eyes

[@chrisadams7250]

Hi Danny. Great lesson, thanks. Quick question, which stance should I use when hitting with a 4 or 5 hybrid club? Drive stance, iron stance, or something else entirely? Thanks.

[@cesarvazquez338]

Dannyyyyy amazing 😉 video like always !!! Love it I still struggling with my irons but still love it the game !!!

[@DanielMaude]

thank you, thats the most important thing

[@terryholloway9930]

Thanks Danny great tips thanks going to check out free ones too

[@michaelkirkbright4723]

Thanks Danny, excellent “plane” imagery. Is the “driver drill” applicable for fairway woods?

[@DanielMaude]

off the tee similar to driver, off the ground similar to irons

[@in7035]

Thank you, Danny. You're a wonderful teacher. A question, though: how would you categorise a swing with a 3-wood in this context? And thanks again for all your great videos. Best, Ari

[@ComiKon92]

Great explanation. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to comment

[@markhagen7719]

Good tips again. How about a lesson on hitting out of rough? Thanx.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Mark, great idea let me plan one out

[@rickpostma7932]

Its saturday, Dannytime again. Good drill with the landing plane in mind.

[@DanielMaude]

Rick Postma 😂 hope you are having a great weekend

[@atxbowlingcoach]

Great stuff. Thanks

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure David, all the best

[@davestickland2880]

Weirdly I start to slice the ball when I do this. I’m sure I’m losing distance because I’m not setting up as instructed by the master (that’s you Danny!). My playing buddies reckon I don’t follow all the way through. Wish I could master this because my iron game has improved no end since following these instructions. As a result I stick to what keeps the drives long and straight but shorter than it should be. Any further thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong welcomed

[@DanielMaude]

Check out this weeks video Dave, the drag and lag will really help you get to a follow through

[@Bill-jv5eg]

Great tips, can you do one on hitting out of wet hard packed sand?

[@DanielMaude]

Bill Reynolds Thanks Bill, did you see my last video on bunkers

[@amenaiman3933]

One thing i want to ask, our leg, standing between the ball. How we want to keep the stand from our leg to the ball? Can you show the swing from side angle. Show how far to put our leg from the ball, so we can hit the ball perfectly.

[@walkervince1]

Great explanation!

[@DanielMaude]

thanks Vincent, appreciate the comment

[@michaellenard2]

Great video and very helpful especially the visuals and the drills. One question is what is the correct set up and swing for fairway woods/hybrids? thanks

[@passiveincomejunkie2752]

Great stuff! As always🙂

[@jboy5744]

The plane landing is a great swing thought, used it during last round and hit my best 3 wood of the year twice!

[@DanielMaude]

Les Simmo lovely, images, sounds and feelings are how we make changes in our swings and improvements in our golf shots

[@jimoneill7011]

Hi Danny, great video! Following your tips for both irons and my driver. Finding that I am contacting for both types of shots on the neck side or heel of the club. It feels as though am I pushing my arms/hands out or leaning forward on both types of swings. If I go after the iron swing too hard, I can even shank it. Any tips to curb this tendency to push my clubs away from my body during the swing? Thanks!

[@timsanders8832]

Hi Danny. I find your videos extremely helpful, very clear and perfectly applicable, they really speak to me. A question if I may, I’ve clicked on the subscribe button (several times), it indicates that I am registered as a subscriber but I never receive any videos from you. Can this be rectified? (If not I’ll continue to find you on KZbin).

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Tim, the best thing to do is to register for my free weekly newsletter at dannymaude.com. I release the video via email every Saturday morning...it will take one minute and is completely free to do so

[@gordonalexander3756]

Hi Danny. Should I hit a hybrid like a driver or an iron?

[@DanielMaude]

like an iron because really they are irons in disguise

[@daveytolley]

Danny, is it appropriate or ok to use a sort of driver stance for a 2 iron shot off the ground? Positioning the ball a little forward of the middle. By the way, I again got out of hard pack sand today with the help of your sand lesson. Ta Muchly, Dave T.

[@DanielMaude]

Does it work with your 2 iron?

[@dariopuche847]

Thanks for a great video.

[@Luckydog66100]

Unfortunately my divot is too far in front of the ball. Been watching videos, but still haven´t figured out what I´m doing wrong.

[@jameslong4131]

as always great tips

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you James Long, hope it helps your game

[@jimmy_image]

Danny, for the driver, I notice that if I put the ball toward the front foot and move the handle behind the club head, the club face becomes closed. Are you doing any thing when you grip the club (like opening the face), or taking your stance (like closing it) to get the club face square at address?

[@DanielMaude]

JLennyZ difficult to explain in words but do what ever you feel you need to get the club square while keeping the handle behind

[@jimmy_image]

Danny, I've had success using your set up advice in this video by additionally opening up the club face, to square it to the line, at address. So much so, that I attribute it to my 33 net score and our flight championship, last night. Thanks, man!

[@thomasokeefe3081]

Danny... Do you have any back issues swinging on two different swing planes

[@DanielMaude]

I don't feel the swing plane is any different. I just hit the ball later in the arc with driver

[@aartvdmolen]

Hi Danny, when do you do some videos on putting ?? Team up with Jon Watts ??

[@DanielMaude]

Coming soon Aart, my favourite part of the game

[@aartvdmolen]

Danny Maude Great! Like your great bunker videos 😀

[@PaulPGR]

Great vid, Dan. I took something totally different from the vid actually. How many times were we told about getting our knees touching after impact?!!! Well, you don’t do that and it looks powerful and simple. Sorry, Dan!!

[@DanielMaude]

that's what I love about doing lessons on youtube, its amazing what everyone can pick up

[@HenBroon9]

Hi Danny I have a huge over swing with my driver caused by my left arm breaking down do you have any tips to cure this

[@DanielMaude]

Hen Broon over swings are generally caused because you are swinging your arms and not turning your body from a balanced position. Set up with your weight on the balls of your feet and with no club let your left arm just hang down in front of you. Make a backswing by loving your left shoulder and left side of your back. Where your arm stops is the top of your swing. Put your right hand on

[@davidstevan1]

Hi Danny. Does the “plane landing” thought work for chipping?

[@DanielMaude]

davidstevan1 not really as it leads to too much compression and power, chipping is more of a gliding before and through the ball

[@albaromane]

@@DanielMaude Have you done a chipping video? I practise this more than anything but I always end up thinning my first chip on the course and then I take out the putter!
