Danny. My coach got me started on this drill after Christmas with huge results. This is hands down the most impactful lesson I’ve had with him.

[@quentinshetters9468]

How long should that rope be?

[@tomleighty6476]

Just simply REMARKABLE! After 50+ years of playing and hundreds of lessons, this one drill makes it so simple. Thank you Mr. Danny Maude.

[@garrettchristley7259]

I’ve struggled getting proper hip rotation which lets my arms get in front of me, especially with driver. I filmed myself down-the-line with a rope and was amazed at the difference. I was seeing both “cheeks” at impact position. Switching back to driver I was somewhere in between, so there’s some work to do still, but already a huge improvement in the feel. Pretending my club was the rope smoothed out my transition. Not bad for a $10 training aid, thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome Garrett, thanks for sharing g

[@stevebykersma1719]

Been doing this drill for awhile now and the rope is absolutely the best training aid around. Thanks danny

[@danielteale8646]

Danny, I love this drill, no better practice for the body leading the arms and feeling how to trigger the down swing. Great video 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Daniel have a great weekend

[@chrisgolfer7528]

One of your greatest visual tips Danny. Brilliant !!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks as always Chris

[@stuartthomson1566]

Brilliant, Danny have you done a video on weight distribution on the feet, 50/ 50 or 70 on trail foot 30 on lead at address , moving weight between backswing and downswing. I've been struggling. Thanks

[@Beadlesabout88]

Thank you for this very simple, very effective thought pattern to focus on before taking the club back. With all the noise and complex drills out there, this is one essential cue I will use before and during every swing. Danny thank you for working so hard at breaking down each lesson/ guide into a video that adds value to my game.

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Greg

[@annetaylor1014]

This is great Danny. I now need to put the rope in my bag alongside the frisbee and tennis racquet. Getting a few strange looks out on the course ……..

[@DanielMaude]

Love it

[@michaelbredelin9591]

Again a great Demonstration of the mecanics behind a golf swing and of course of your skills as an instructor.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks again for the support Michael, this is a great off season exercise

[@katos84770]

I have always had issues with body rotation from a static position....this really helps creating the necessary momentum to get in sync and create a fluid backswing

[@ductran8832]

Best tip of the year, Danny: simple, cheap, efficicient and ... elegant! Thanks

[@DanielMaude]

All the very best

[@robdmd99]

Danny, how long of a rope should I get? Should it be long enough that you have extra rope at the bottom like your video?

[@wayneborellijr.3230]

Danny, I have watched many of your KZbin lessons many times. Some specific lessons dozens of times. I relate to your lessons better than any instructor online or in person. I'm hoping to get an on line lesson with you soon. Thank you very much, Wayne Borelli

[@benhoward7006]

You are the best teacher on the net. Thanks.

[@pauledw]

I watched this video this morning along with the more recent one you did which was a lesson! OMG, wow!.. I so wished I realised this years ago.. I now know I was paralysed a bit by mechanics.. I've just been to the driving range and can't believe how much easier this is to think about.. I can't believe thinking about it in this way got my body so much more involved, I'm not used to this much body movement, it was a very liberating range session.. Thanks very much!!

[@bobk795]

As always, another brilliant and simple drill. Thanks Danny!

[@auflubenn]

The rope drill has really improved my ball striking. Do you have a recommendation for the length of rope to use? Edit...I found in the comments below that you suggested about a meter, but you're using at least 5 feet in your video. I'll just go with 5 feet...I can always choke up or cut it off!

[@boonheechong7763]

Make sense, the feeling of swinging a rope loosen up all the tensions in your muscles & grip resulting in an effortless body swing, will adopt this feeling when playing at the course. 👍

[@loutennant99]

Great tip. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Will buy some and take it to use when traveling.

[@DanielMaude]

What a good idea Colin

[@georgiewalker1069]

This has to be THE go-to lesson EVERY time your swing goes off, absolutely simple and absolutely brilliant. Thank you, that's my winter indoor swinging practice sorted!

[@stephenwhite1859]

Hi Danny. It never ceases to amaze me how you can translate from Pro to hacker, the back to Pro, amazing!! Obviously a ton of natural talent. Love your videos, especially how you release different videos to work on the same problem, because sometimes I just don't get it with the first, but it clicks in with another! THANK YOU. Please let us all know if you ever decide to play a tournament in Sydney.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Stephen, really appreciate that

[@Jimbojoebob]

Another great drill. Best coaching on KZbin.

[@twinnett1714]

Thanks Danny, watched the video 2 hrs before going to play, the round wasn't going great so I switched to this using the thought of having no feeling in my arms and hands, ended up having a half tidy back 9, finally a swing where I don't have to think about too much, "excellent"

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great, well done

[@chriscrane4760]

This a great idea Danny! Much appreciated. I’ve been working on other drills you’ve made videos about and I can feel my swing/ball striking getting better every time I hit the course. 👍🏻

[@loutennant99]

Just watched it again, as I usually do. This will help loads. Backswing is generally ok but my downswing is a mess. Thanks, I’m taking this to Egypt to use in the hotel when not working

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome, let me know how you get on

[@brianrogers7543]

Danny, you are such an awesome teacher. Everything you do is so easy to relate to. Thank you so much🙏

[@loutennant99]

Danny. Been doing this in the hotel room and managed to get a quick nine in on the hotel course. It is really reenforcing the feeling of properly using and turn the body. I am an arse for getting lazy and using arms/ not turning back properly then staying on right side through impact. This is really helping. Fantastic tip and practical aid.

[@grantgarland883]

Best video I've seen to explain the move. Well done.

[@henryrowden1705]

Danny you're the best teacher I've had. Massively improved my swing since watching your videos. This is a brilliant drill! Keep up the good work 👍

[@jackloyd2392]

Very helpful tip. I used it in a round today and applied the "rope" technique to each of the club and the results were really good for me.

[@robfelt5281]

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome, hope it helps

When it comes to golf instruction Mr. Maude, you Good Sir are a f-ing genius. All of your lessons are simple, yet transforming. This rope tip will transform anybody's golf game. I bet Professional Golfers the world over are squirming now that you have shown the world the secret to an incredible and consistent golf swing. Good for you.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help

[@lukeedwards3929]

I like how you move away from the whole “putting the club in positions”. It’s too difficult to think about positions in 2 seconds of a swing. This is a great tip thanks Danny!

[@drjcwardjr]

I knew this…but I had forgotten the feeling! Thanks for the much needed refresher!😎👍

I prefer the rope as it literally forces you to swing properly

Thank you brother!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks so much for the feedback

[@davidblower9279]

As always a great and simple instruction to enhance the feel of the golf swing Danny - my greatest challenge remains moving the head upwards when attempting to use the ground to generate that ‘pushing away’ feeling with body - any tips/drill to avoid head movement (early extension?) would be much appreciated?

[@DanielMaude]

Hi David, I think one thing to remember is you need to extend upwards through the ball. The key is just timing when that happens.

[@flavioeiras]

I have the same issue - I don't seem able to control my head on the backswing, it just moves diagonally upwards along with the club. And sorry I didn't understand "extend upwards through the ball". Can anyone help me?

[@barriegiles3170]

Hi Danny. How long is the rope please..

[@gerardgauthier4876]

I never liked the term effortless.. I always preferred efficient. I've never came across a effortless golf swing(somehow generating those kind of club head speeds is the antithesis of effortless) but I witnessed many efficient golf swings. As always Danny, wonderful drill and video.

[@DanielMaude]

I think that’s a great point Gerard

[@mitchd949]

I'm about a 10 hcp. I was a bit skeptical, but I tried this starting a little over a week ago. Made my rope the length of my 5-iron. Swung one or two sessions a day for 10 swings and made video of myself during the swing. Last Saturday I shot a 4 over 76 - that's no mulligans, no freebies, and every putt in the jar. I haven't hit so many pure irons in a long time. I didn't mishit one iron shot all day. Body movement is improved but mostly what I think improved is my overall tempo. The rope makes you wait at the top before starting the downswing because you wait for it to wrap around you and land between your shoulders. I've been golfing for 30 years and never heard of this drill. Top tip!!!!
