Happy to help Robert

[@maple5793]

This was the one for me, Danny. I didn't understand the impact position. Taught your way, it makes sense to me.

[@la8627]

Danny great videos, I'll be 69 years young in August I've been recovering from Pancreatic Cancer, Whipple Surgery that removed the cancer and went through Chemo the last 5 months, just received great news from Surgeon and Oncologist, no signs of cancer and I can start with the playing golf again,I lost probably close to 40 LBS during my recovery along with distance on my game. I played for the first time in a year and shot an 82 yesterday at a local course, I didn't even try to use my driver due to the fact my 3 wood was more consistent and about the same distance (shorter by 20-30+ yards), after watching this vid I now know where to get that whip back and speed that was lost. Thanks

[@DanielMaude]

Thats wonderful to hear Lucio, getting better at golf seems so unimportant when you've gone through what you have. Just wonderful news that you have managed to come out the other side

[@mikemorgan6561]

Danny loved it. I’m a 5 handclap but I’m more apt to shoot 82 instead of 77. Today I used yout catapiult method and used the left shoulder going back. I was 3 under on the back 9 and shot a 72. My lowest round in several years. I’m 69 years old. Thank you so much can’t wait to play tomorrow.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing! thanks for sharing Mike

[@jesusalvarez6080]

Danny, you are the instructor I feel most compatible with; to me, you are the best I have seen. Everything you say and do makes all the sense in the world to me. Thank you buddy for being out there for us golf swing lost souls; although, not anymore thanks to you my amigo.

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Jesus, happy to help

[@hyginovieira7107]

The enthusiasm of Danny is a positive point to who is watching his videos, it´s his style that makes the difference among the bunch of videos available on the YT, (message from Rio).

[@DanielMaude]

Hygino Vieira thank you, I’m very fortunate to love what I do

[@wreckim]

Whatever my Top Ten lessons/tips/vids that I have ever seen in my life have been...this one replaces one of those. Brilliant. Thank You!

[@wreckim]

Danny, just a hacker's POV...I've experienced this a little bit on the range, and I have to trust to swing --what appears to me -- to be outside and beyond the ball, and the 'catapult' brings it back in to perfect impact. I didn't really think of it as a catapult...had not realized this is what's actually going on...and I don't yet trust it on the course with my irons...but I have added some of this to my driver swing with positive effects. Again, thanks for the lesson, as it really explains the move and motivates me to go back to the range and work this into my game. 2c.

[@alangoudie2299]

I will give your catapult idea a try.Your enthusiasm,knowledge & ability to make it as simple as possible have enabled you to have many subscibers.I will link this idea to your excellent video for driving for senior golfers. Many thanks for your friendly advice.

[@khach89]

I wish I had a before and after video of my swing. After watching your videos and putting in some work on these basic concepts, my balance, my swing speed and ball speed has increased significantly. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you. You changed my mindset on the golf swing, its simplified so now I can focus on playing golf not playing golf swing. Cheers!

[@karemariuslunde2009]

Superb demonstration - the left shoulder move was an eye opener for me. Thank U..

[@Zolarsystem]

Thanks!

[@peterconway8803]

Hi Danny, this instruction is excellent, I will be taking it to the range later and will report back with further comments.

[@waynesaliba5509]

Follow up........lol, yep made a huge difference......had to learn to let go BUT once I let it alone and used the “catapult” I hit some tremendous shots! When your buddies comment on how beautiful your swing was, well doggone that is a nice feeling. Do not get me wrong I know during the round when I wandered off, I knew it. But I also hit shots which for me was effortless power, something I rarely feel, nice! Result.........very good with lots of work to put in. I thank you sir!

[@richie1654]

Every now and again you get to find a gem of golf instruction , so simple but so effective Danny , started in the garden and then took this to the range and at last Im on my way to improving my golf , thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nomullies]

So simple but I took this and had maybe my best range session in years. Distance was significantly more than I was getting prior. Can't wait to do this on the course. Moving that lead shoulder back makes it all happen. Lovely.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Al, all the best

[@erwandelavenne4366]

Hi Danny, I'm a fresh French fan and have tested the catapult method this WE with my woods, and what I can say is simply "WTF !"... So simple, it keeps my hands in the goood plan and generates a very good club head speed. Even if I'm a 12 handicaper, if didn't visualised this simple move before... thanks for that. And the question I had this morning for you was "how to apply the method to my irons"... as I struggled a bit with them this we.. and here comes the new video... thanks :D Need to find an impact bag to test the move, I think my left shoulder is not going enough backward in the downsing, hence the chicken wings... Thanks for all those simple & clear explanations !!!

[@DanielMaude]

[@DanielMaude]

Zen Trader great to have you here Zen, thanks for getting involved in the community

[@eds9899]

One of Danny's contemporaries gave me exactly the same advice. Trouble is I misinterpreted 'left shoulder back'' taking it to mean back as in away from the ball, not back as in away from the target. Worked a treat when I finally caught on!

[@hanale8922]

I've been struggling with iron and this will help me out. Thank you so much Danny!

[@waynesaliba5509]

Interesting, played golf last night and was watching a fellow I played with pound the ball out like crazy distances....under control. The point is you could see the catapult type swing he was using. So I tried it and got some good results, I think maybe you have filled in the blanks, I will attempt this tomorrow and let you know. The analogy I best can think of is using a sling shot pulling it back and instead of letting the device do its work you push through with your right hand and do not let go....weak. This is what I have been doing! Big thanks for the clarity Wayne J.

[@inuvik491]

Having not played for ten years ,recently took the game up again, Danny your videos are superb, easy to follow and make sense. Am getting rid of issues in my swing and making great progress thanks to your videos and practice.

[@MrChris2809]

Thanks for another great video, Danny, it all makes so much sense when you explain it! I'm especially thrilled about your advice to pull back my left shoulder! Also interesting to observe how different this video is from the way you helped Nigel two years ago to gain 30-40 more yards with his irons in "HOW TO STRIKE YOUR IRONS PURE"....

[@billswitzer1516]

Brilliant lesson Danny! When I passed 70, a lot of my distance decreased. Your tips have gained back some of the skills lost, and this one will be no exception. Thanks. Cheers!

[@thomasfraser9072]

Hi Danny. Great video and love your enthusiasm to teach golf. I believe your main point is we should no longer feel we have to steer the club head towards the ball Just to put in my own two cents worth. The twirl waggle that Jack Nicklaus did at his stance to the ball in order to feel the weight of the club as well as to feel the proper hand pressure; and, to loosen the wrist action; is my key to a softer and more precise grip on the club handle I also feel that the catapult method you talk about actually stems entirety by the proper activation of the trail elbow at the top of the downswing inching inward towards the trail hip; shallowing the club; creating lag and then catapulting the club head through the the ball. This activation of my trail elbow naturally quickens the release of my club head to the ball as it simultaneously activates the pivoting of my lower body; opens up my lead shoulder and creates that high finish that I like and you have shown so proudly in this video. Also the activation of the trail elbow at the top of a two plane swing can be seen in any great classic player. One need to only look. My favorite being Ben Hogan. You are also activating your trail elbow well except may not be fully aware of it; as in this video you are focused more on teaching a looser gripping of the club in order to institute the catapult effect. Cheers

[@DanielMaude]

Great read this Thomas, really appreciate you taking the time to write...I think this will be really valuable to others in the community

[@thomasfraser9072]

Danny Maude I am thrilled that you loved my comment. In your video demonstrations you actually show the activation of your trail elbow catapulting you club as it was being held by the tip of the fingers of your lead hand. As you can see for yourself this would be impossible it were not for the activation of the trail elbow. I I hope you consider updating and emphasizing this fact in a future fresh video for all to consider. Would not mind if you even mentioned my name in it. Thanks and stay great at what you do. Cheers

[@jamalazad2011]

Great help for me playing after following your advice.

[@johnsmith-ls4rc]

Very helpful and thank you for posting this advice - I am guilty of all the faults you mention, but find it impossible to diagnose these things myself. I have never seen it explained like this before; wish I had seen this 5 years ago!

[@davidmoore9818]

Hi Danny,David here in Los Angeles. Thank you for the catapult swing information. I am implementing in both the driver and iron swing. Keep it coming!David

[@barbaraleahy5637]

40 points today in weekly Stableford competition on a 35 handicap. I used the catapult swing and it worked plus the JPMCMANUS ProAm at Adare Manor Co.Limerick Ireland must have been a positive influence.

[@gavincraig4310]

Great video. I have lost a lot of power over the years, and I was never a long hitter. This should help a lot. Can’t wait to try this.

[@DanielMaude]

You got this!

[@Sansfaim]

Hi Danny, I did this many years ago, but a disintegrating left hip put a stop to it. Now I’ve had it replaced I must try it again with the extra move of the left shoulder going back. That makes so much sense. Keep the videos coming, I’ll make a golfer yet

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you, also consider pointing the left foot 30 degrees towards the target to aid knee and hip mobility

[@Sansfaim]

Danny Maude that would open up the hip and make life a bit easier. I have to try and make an effort to remember to do this. Usually by the time I’m half way round the course I’ve reverted back to my old stance. I blame it on old age 🙂

[@DanielMaude]

Sansfaim funny, I think we all have a tendency to do that at times

[@eddiebro101]

You can also look at this a little bit differently. In order for that left shoulder to move up and backward, you have to keep the spine angle you created at address, right? It also requires that your right shoulder powers that shoulder turn. They work together, of course. That means the move is then a pivot around the top of your SPINE, not around your built stance (which causes that slide to the left that many experience). This is what lifts that shoulder up and rearward and not flatten out and cause a pull hook. If you concentrate on your trailing shoulder (right for right-handed players )moving down towards the ball, and through that ball's position after impact (from the player's perspective) during the follow-through, you will be position to compress the ball. It actually helps to get the feel of the catapulting action ingrained sooner. It also helps to keep the head where it needs to be (slightly behind the ball at impact on a full swing). As your follow-through gets further around your body because of length of swing, the body's limitations or flexibility limits should cause you to have to go erect, because of the raw forces that catapulting and pivot are creating. I have found the more I do release the club-head like a catapult (a pure power move), the more complete that finish needs to be, too. You can't cut it off... as soon as the shaft is fully extended, let your hands and wrist follow the butt of the shaft to the finish. So the right shoulder moving down, and then around and up, gets that left shoulder moving correctly, but also sets the swing length determinants. Not too sure I am explaining this fully. My experience is that just focusing on the left shoulder can at times result in the player standing upright too soon, and that causes the swing path to flatten instead of staying on the incline, or the spine's set angle. They stand up and lose their spine angle prior to impact. If your right shoulder moves how it needs to, the left comes along for the ride naturally. By my approaching this from the right side, I found it a lot easier to refrain from sliding during the transition too. In order to path that right shoulder towards the ball, that shoulder has to stay back, and not slide off the ball. From my sight line, my right shoulder actually moves through where the ball was sitting. In fact, that is what I watch for, not the actual strike of the club to the ball. I watch for what I am responsible for... the execution of the planned shot itself. I let the club do what it was made to do. My job is to stay down through impact and complete the swing into a fully balanced position. Staying down is as simple as the right shoulder tracking to the ball's position through impact. Maintaining proper balance is as simple as posting onto the inside of the left knee during the transition. If you do these two things, use a neutral grip, and just easily catapult the club head, I am sure you will start hitting straight shots with ease. I am 65 years old. I carry just under 265 on average. As helpful as that is (I get to play from the fronts tees because I am a super-senior) learning to get the shoulders working right gave me extremely accurate iron play. I may be old, but I carry a 2 cap now. Learn to move the shoulders right, learn to post to stay balanced, and catapult the club head for power, and the game gets instantly easier. I shot a clean (no bogeys) 63 last year. From the whites, but at my age, that is pretty good. It took me 45 years to finally learn these three simplistic issues. I was an 18 cap for most of my life. It is never too late to learn this.

[@DanielMaude]

[@helenwinning1059]

Like this especially the shoulder tip

[@shug2795]

Will try this. You definitely take this vid into murky waters! I spent most of my golf hours trying not to cast my clubs, which has me moving forward too much. I have VERY little variance in my long clubs so, your opening comment rang true for me. I fire my left shoulder but not back. I fire it around-but-forward more-so than back which negates the snap coming from a properly timed pivot/release. I have to try this! Now I realize why my closing sequence doesn't "look like a golfer's". I'm not posted up with the subtle arch in the final stage of my swing because I move forward instead of posting up/pivoting. It's going to take some time/work to transition into this. I've been doing this wrong for so long....

[@DanielMaude]

Hope this helps you Shug 😁

Enjoy your videos and energy. Question: in order to "fire" through the impact zone, doesn't some measure of "timing" come into play? Does "firing" imply a bowed left wrist? If timing is involved, seems difficult to repeat.

[@marktaylor1991]

Hi Danny, just discovered your channel and this catapult method has been an absolute game changer for my irons which I have been struggling with for a while. Only taken it to the range so far, but distance and accuracy is much improved. However, I was previously pretty consistent with the driver, with a nice draw but now seem to be pushing/slicing which is new to me. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark.

[@dafyddgould9485]

Love the vid bud, do you have any vids on adopting the correct posture

[@monroestokvis7713]

so danny, how about using the term "snap your wrists 2 feet past the golf ball" which will catapult your driver as you then turn your left shoulder back and rotate hips as you stated. the term "striking the match" is confusing. "wrist snap" will also keep your right, rear shoulder temporarily in place as your arms extend. upon completion of swing, your shoulders will face target. many thanks for your excellent instruction and humor.

[@DanielMaude]

Really like it Monroe, whatever image works for you

[@profhindsight449]

Hi Danny, love the leading shoulder tip. Used your catapult thought on the drive and it worked! Tried it on irons and got more distance. Would love to get the holy grail of distance and accuracy with spin, can do either but not both. Any thoughts? I'm my case a strong grip held up in front at the end of the swing gives me the accuracy but at the cost of lots of distance.

Are you catapulting by throwing with your trail hand or by frisbee throwing with the back of your lead hand?

[@skobichevskii]

Thanks for your video. i got the catapult down, but some of the balls fly about 10 degrees to the right. They are not ever sliced very much, they look like they are misdirected to the right from the takeoff. I cannot correlate these occurrences reliably with the body position. Any thought on why this may happen.

Hi Danny, do you still keep the same loose wrists and light grip that you said were essential in the catapult video regarding the driver? In other words, should the same feeling work with both driver and iron? Thanks so much -- I've shared these videos with quite a few friends in need!

[@DanielMaude]

absolutely, the wrists need to be passive so they can work with the natural forces the swing creates

Never seen that explained before. Work finishes in 4 and a half hours then it's off to the range to give it a go!

Derek Ormsby funny, enjoy your session at the club

Danny is this just a great way of thinking about the best swing action, or a different type of swing that is especially effective? I'm relatively new to golf and very prone to tinkering to try and correct my many faults (main one being poor contact and thinning shots) - I watch a lot of your videos! Is this something to be delayed until I've improved my strike consistency generally?

[@DanielMaude]

if you are relatively new I would try my latest video it will work much better
