STOP TOPPING YOUR WOODS - Learn to hit a wood off the ground

[@mitchstanton4841]

Thank you for covering the mechanics. I will definitely put the suggestions into practice. Nothing kills a round than hitting a nice drive on a par 5, be in the middle of the fairway and then topping your second shot. This will help.

[@5sethi]

Good learning

Danny Maude! You are my instructor. I’ve had the privilege of working at MPCC for the last two years but never got an instruction. I’ve playing for about as long as I’d work there, and your basic coaching skills are unmatched. You are an excellent teacher and have helped my game tremendously!

Dude, thank you so much! Played in high school, shot high 70s. Tore my rotator cuff at 20 and never could get my swing back with my drive and especially my fairway woods. My swing was still fluid but your small tips have my 180 yard drives going 235 now and my wood top is gone. Smashing them 205-215 clean now. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@stuart_edward]

Nothing to do with fairway woods, but thank you so much Danny my driving is so consistent now from your driver videos, my handicap has went down from 26 to 18 in the last 4 months because of your videos alone!

Keep doing what you're doing mate. Brilliant content.

This man is fixing my game late at night. I played better today then I ever have in my life after 3 of his videos

[@SD-uh4zn]

Niklaus would lift his left heel off the ground at the end of his backswing and start the downswing by planting his left heel. What I see here is pretty much the same thing but with slightly less left heel elevation. A popular theme in golf instruction these days is to use the ground for power, this is not new. Look at Sam Snead's bow-legged squat, then post up on the left leg as he hit it on screws. (persimmon drivers had screws in the face, hence the expression) You are the best personality of any youtube golf instructor and one of the best. Thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

S D very kind I certainly think golfers who aren’t necessarily athletes would find it easier to make a more athletic motion. 😁

[@catherinespencer415]

WOW, this is fabulous ... I very often top my long fairway hybrids and my husband tell me .."you're falling back on your shot ... weight your front foot" which doesn't always help, I feel unbalanced over my shot. This explanation tells me everything!! I do exactly that, swing to steep, now i know how to fix it ! Thank you so much, I'm golfing with friends this week (good golfers) and now I won't be topping and feeling embarrassed like a beginner (which Im not). Great explanation, I have subscribed :)

Thanks Danny! For most hackers,me, the 3 wood/fairway club shot is the most important and most difficult to execute, until you can be consistent with the shot. Your tips help so much for realizing that consistent execution of this key shot. The snow has finally melted here in Pa. and I can't wait to start practice. Your videos are so well done!

I just watched the video on Monday about hitting the ball first then the turf. It explained what I was doing wrong so well. Well, you hit it straight down the fairway 300 yards with this one as well. Explaining perfectly what is wrong, and then how to fix it. I’ve watched many videos on fixing golf swing problems, and yours are really the most down to earth addressing my issues.

I know I'm static at impact, no rotation. My alignment was off, too. I stand up through impact and flick at it with my head flying up. It's sad. You're video was amazing. I'll start aiming more left, coming down from the inside, and rotating through the ball while trying to hit it off the top of the club. I'll try all this and master it. Thank you!

I hope your still Teaching. The slinging action was the key to my breakthrough in striking the golf ball. I found this "action" some years ago and it changed my game. Still can't putt for shite... effortless power emanates from this simple swing. Applies to all clubs. Thanks for reinforcing the good things in my swing. It is a natural motion once you feel the face strike the ball.

Great channel, one of your "driver" videos ACTUALLY helped me a lot, I didn't realize I was coming over the top on my down swing AND that was causing me to drive terribly. Added probably 20+ yards on my carry (on like a 30 year old driver, probably double if I had a fancy driver), most drives are dead straight even when I swing a little harder (used to result in a massive/dangerous slice), and the fun factor went way up, feels more like a good ole baseball swing more than a chipping swing now, love it, thank you :)

Thank you, thank you!!! Danny Maude your video is exactly how I hit the ball!!! I always described my golf swing as a sweeper, like I was sweeping the floor at home.

How do you adjust your swing when play a round. I played on Friday I was 9 over I played on sat I was 27 over I was hitting everything right I know it was face control but I could not fix it during the round. I also play terrible when playing a comp. Great videos

[@DanielMaude]

The difference between professionals and amateurs is a professional is much more aware of what they are doing and thus able to make improvements quickly. As a professional we too suffer from inconsistency but are able to solve problems quicker. We do this because we have a greater feel of the swing. The first thing to begin improving this feel is by learning to shape shots right to left and left to right. This will help you feel what a closed club face feels like and an open one. I you can do this it will help you square the club face quicker should it tend to open too much causing a slice or close too much causing a hook

jeanne fanning if you keep the tee height really low then absolutely, when the tee height gets a little high then remember to hit a little more up in the ball...watch my video on diver swing vs iron swing

@@DanielMaude Sorry, I didn't understand your reply.

Dear Danny, I just want to say thank you. I am an amateur golfer and avid tennis player. I always visualized hitting the golf ball well but couldn't understand why I was "topping" the ball. Your video (and others) has made a fantastic difference to my shots! I'm impressed with my gains. Again, thanks from this South Florida resident☺

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Andrea, thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@davidconlon2629]

👌🏻Spot on as always Danny. By far, my worst shot 🤬

[@DanielMaude]

I hope this then helps your fairway woods or hybrids

[@carlossandino9833]

Always blablabá for explane one thing simple ..please ...give me o correct setup and back and. Down e finish with image..please !!

Tip #1 really help me out. I still top the ball sometimes because I forget. Leaning the club just before my swing makes all the difference. Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Great to hear, thanks for sharing

What scares me is that he just explained everything I do.... I stand up, don’t rotate, I have a steep swing, and aim right. I’ve been trying to work on aiming more left and rotating more, and I’ve hit a bit better. I just need to practice more. I’m subscribing because this might actually help a lot.

Welcome to the channel 👍

Another fab video Danny, have managed to shave 5 shots off my handicap so far this season, your tips have certainly played a big part in this. Thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

David Binks that’s amazing David, great achievement...appreciate the feedback

[@nicted9308]

Another great lesson Danny, this lesson has come just at the right time as I'm off for practice in an hour. The other day I think I was doing a bit of a chop with my five wood so I will take this to the range thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Nic Ted great Nic, hope your practice session went well

[@johnschwartz1536]

An excellent video on hitting Fairway Woods Danny! A couple of days ago, I hit several tops with my fairway woods. In viewing your video, I think my main problem was rotational! I am going to archive this video for future viewing in case I run into the problem in the future. Hopefully Not! Keep up the Good Work!!

I do that intentionally, Dan! 😳 Great vid as usual, mate! 👍

[@DanielMaude]

Paul Clews thank you Paul, 😁
