This basic takeaway move changes EVERYTHING about the Golf Swing

[@DanielMaude]

Here’s how to apply this lesson to your driver 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKOyhqelh5J2edk

[@jch22]

This lesson along with the previous one with the driver are so eye opening. The way you explain exactly what the body should be doing makes perfect sense and when I put them into my practice I can feel an immediate difference. Everything flows so much easier and I don't feel like I'm forcing any of my body movements. Can't wait to take what I've learned out to the range. Thanks Danny!

This and the driver lesson very helpful and have repeatedly watched but you didn’t go into the downswing specifics for irons. Would love an update. Thanks

You have no idea how much this helped. NO ONE had ever said “arms are only up/down” and shoulders are the turning.

I watch KZbin golf videos all the time and this is the best video I’ve seen to date. I haven’t yet heard anyone talk about the shoulders like this yet.

The best golf teacher on KZbin. Best at breaking down the basics which is key.

[@daveweedall4505]

I use this as part of my warm up on the range before a round and its helped my game enormously. Your coaching videos are by far the best on KZbin easy to take in and remember. Cheers

[@adamsaunders9876]

Wow, I've probably watched hundreds of golf tips drills videos and never seen this fundamental highlighted when clearly it's so key for a consistent swing, thankyou for your time to make these exceptional viseos

It is respectful of the master to be on time for your lesson.

Thanks for being here John 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@johnritchie8336]

To be serious this drill to get the handle where it needs to be at the top is just what I need. On the range I am getting it but revert to swinging flat around myself in play ( next playing partner to remark on it could get the 58 degree where the sun dont shine) Any notes on how to keep the feeling through the round ?

[@glenj.taylor2938]

​@@johnritchie8336 There's an old saying and although it has a few variations, the message is the same: "We don't practice until we get it right, we practice until we can't get it wrong." I hope this helps Sir.

[@billthomson1015]

I so agree with Rob McGarr. I have been watching your videos for ages now and it has really improved my golf. However, I have a confession to make. I recently watched an instructional video from another high profile You Tube professional. What a mistake. My golf ended up all over the place trying to implement this one fix that would make me hit the ball like a pro.. The great thing about your vidoes is how they relate to all us "improving" golfers. There's no quick fix just a series of videos that builds logically and consistently on everything you have taught before. I promise I will never stray again.

[@RobMcGarr]

I feel like you're exactly the kind of coach I need - you get the technical stuff but teach it in a way that's simple to understand and actually feels implementable in a flowing movement, not a forced series of positions 👌

[@brandonelliott247]

Couldn't agree more...my thoughts exactly

[@billthomson1015]

Me too. Danny is not only the kind of coach most of us need, in my opinion, he is the only coach we need.

[@robbie192]

You like teachers who talk in paragraphs?

[@soulgalorememories9921]

You have a God given talent for communication - having just returned to golf after 35 years at the age of 70 - I find your videos not only informative but inspiring. Back in the day, the golf pros were good but too technical in their teaching, now, this channel breaks it all down in terms that we can all understand. Right now, I am still on the driving range trying to get my confidence up before tackling my first nine holes. The high hands tip nails it for me, immediately I began hitting straight with my irons….the driver may take a bit longer to conquer, but I know that you will set me straight in no time. I may not be as fit or supple as I once was, but the aim is to enjoy golf again….within my limits and as I say…your videos inspire me to believe that I can achieve that.

[@DanielMaude]

Incredibly kind of you to feedback

[@CB-nd9ki]

I started watching you a month ago. I thought Malaska was good, and he is, but I feel your teaching methods and examples are the best I've seen. Excellent work and as soon as the temperature outside drops below 105 degrees I'm gonna try this

This is an absolute fantastic lesson. It deals with so many common issues golfers have and the drills to fix them. I’ve watched so many YT videos recently and the drills Danny uses here are THE GO TO for backswing. Can’t wait for your downswing video next week. Awesome work Danny!!

Awesome Ray, well done

[@portyloon1750]

Another great video Danny. I am a senior golfer, and have recently had problems with inconsistent strikes and slicing the ball, and not getting through the swing properly. Looking at this morning's video I recognise that I am doing exactly what you are showing. I shall be going to the range with something to put into my sleeve and see how I get on. Thanks again.

[@DanielMaude]

Love to hear how you get on 😁

[@portyloon1750]

@@DanielMaude Hello Danny. Went to the range yesterday, and was surprised at how effortless the change in set up made my swing feel. It took a while to get some decent shots away, but I shall keep persevering. Did have a few twinges last night, but that's probably due to the new swing pattern. Shall keep at it. Thanks.

[@precool]

Always a solid lesson. Thanks for the homework assignment!

[@jeffreystaley5266]

Found this move by accident some time ago and hit a massive drive. You just helped me understand how to remember this move by separating body rotation from arm motion up and down to keep the angle between the left arm and chest open. This is a big insight!

Think of some of the premier golf instructors and swing coaches in the world, guys like Butch Harmon, Sean Foley, Jim McLean or Hank Haney…I put Danny Maude right up there with them- because he simplifies exercises by feel without a lot of swing thoughts and lets you teach and correct yourself. Another brilliant session Danny. Always look forward to your instruction. Golf is a very tough sport, thanks for helping us.

[@scott1993]

Danny, you explain things in a way that I can almost feel the shot before I ever put a club in my hand. Your videos are helping my game very much. Best golf instruction available in my opinion. Cant tell you how much I appreciate it.

[@letch318]

Finally!!!!! Just got back into playing golf after 20 years. Been slowly improving watching your videos. This one was it for me. I’ve been very inconsistent, feeling jammed up in my swing lifting the arms was a huge component for me today at the driving range. I was pretty consistent straight. Great compression 30 to 40 yards further with each iron Than I had been I played a little when I was in the Marine Corps and just never got back into it. This video made all the difference for me.

[@conormccormick631]

Awesome video Danny. Every motion you did for the arm pinned to the chest was like looking in a mirror for me, this was incredibly helpful. Love how you incorporate "feel" exercises in as I think it is the hardest thing to convey in a video setting.

[@deanfleming9414]

Danny: one of the reasons I enjoy your videos is that you’re teaching is very closely aligned with my golf pro’s teaching. It not only reinforces my lessons, but gives me some added thoughts and drills to work on. Surprisingly, some teachers teach actual swing faults. Your teaching is very clear and reliable! Thank you!

[@swads1971]

I have to say that, of all the different channels teaching golf on KZbin, I think you are the absolute best. Very pedagogical, calm and straight to the point in your videos.

I’m excited about how much this will improve my understanding of the golf swing and my consistency. 👍

Danny I am very excited about this new way of lining up for the driver hitting program . I have dementia so It takes a little bit longer to get things down pat. Also I tire a little quicker on my second nine because of my age, so extra strokes happen but that does not deter me, I love the game of golf to much.If I am not playing I am at the driving range. Summer is finally here so happy happy times. Thank you for all the things you do to improve golf for seniors.

[@gene2024]

The lesson that I needed today ... at the right time ... and presented clearly. Thanks, Danny!!!

[@leeloopatsy]

Excellent vidéo. To me the most important, the golden key of a good golf swing is the take away. As far as I’m concerned when I miss a shot I know that there is 99% chance that something went wrong in my take away. A good take away takes you to a good back swing and then everything else becomes so easy and natural and subsequently repeatable and therefore consistent. Again that’s me but I can see that it’s true for many other golfers, I’ve seen all sorts of weird golf swings during my 34 years of golf but I’ve never seen someone playing consistently decent shots with a bad take away. Thank you for this very well explained video.

[@RunnaNo1]

Great video and thanks for the additional free guide! Now time to practice. And I’m looking forward to the downswing and driver videos too! Great content, thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure, driver video coming soon

[@RedwoodGeorge]

Solid, Solid advice, Danny - thank you very much! I went golfing for the first time in three months (recovering from an injury and a job change kept me busy on weekends) and went out today with three new approaches from KZbin coaches: Your "Swing your body, not your arms" advice here, Ali Taylor's "Don't look at the ball, look at the low point of your swing" and Matt Fryer's "Aim for the center of the green for better results" - and boy, did I have a phenomenal round! Now maybe it's because I forgot all of my bad habits during my time off but your advice to keep the left arm away from your chest really changed the backswing and gave me much cleaner contact! I was hitting more square and was hitting ten yards further with my irons even though I was swinging more slowly. (Even though I was using Matt Fryer's "aim for the center of the green" approach, much of the time I ended up at the back of the green because I hit the ball so cleanly... This was, quite literally, a game changer!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks George glad to hear the video helped you 😁👍 appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@davidparsons4573]

Great lesson, Danny, thank you. I am trying to get the feeling that my arms are more passive and it is my body that is initiating the swing

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome David

[@wayneborellijr.3230]

What an outstanding lesson. Between this and the feet lesson with the balance disks, my swing is physically easier, much more controllable and so much more powerful. It took me a couple months and some frustration, but this is the first time in 30 years of golf, I was able to fix my swing myself. Fixing my swing was the biggest benefit. I now understand my flaws as well as what I need to feel to be successful. Danny, I can't thank you enough, Wayne B.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Wayne, well done

[@rodgerwardle8037]

Love this one Danny, you did something similar before around pushing the lead arm down to lift the trail arm up which I’ve been working with a lot recently and been nailing my irons! Really helps as well when I keep my shoulders and wrists loose!

[@TheSalonGuy]

Amazing tips mate.

[@tommullinerart]

I've always thought that a solid backswing is the foundation to the rest of the swing. Without a good backswing, your body is forced to make adjustments to compensate, resulting in inconsistencies and unpredictable outcomes.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely 👌

[@timlillard390]

@DanielMaude - I have watched this video at least a half dozen times, trying to understand the concept of "turn the torso, lift the arms", which is a bit problematic for me since I have some severe physical issues. However, watching this same video this morning, I put your "easy" swing (9:05 - 9:10) on a loop and just tried to absorb the smooth, rhythmical feeling you produce. I took this sensation out to my backyard practice mat and just worked on developing that same feel. I found that my swing is much, much more repeatable and consistent, and my ball striking (contact) was much more pure. That 5-second segment alone is worth the price of admission. After working for three solid months to regain some semblance of the swing I had in my younger days, this was the icing on the cake. Thank you.

[@Cornish_Maid]

Hi. Danny, is that the same with a driver, I was always told that the driver swing should be flatter behind you? Thanks for another great video.

[@DanielMaude]

In reality your lead arm will get a little closer to the body at the top of the swing but as most golfers do this excessively it’s best to feel as though your hands are away from your head. The golf swing is an arc and this is created predominantly by the body turn. The body tilts are slightly different between irons and driver but the way you coordinate the arms and body is the same

[@harold4506]

Basically, this is the opposite of what Saguto golf says. "keep your arms glued to the body during the backswing". There's more than one way to play.

[@DanielMaude]

There’s always more than one way to do it. You have to be pretty flexible to have the pure rotary movement where the hands stay glued because the club moves up because of lots of tilt in the shoulders. Great if you have the flexibility to do it

[@desertrat1111]

I have heard Saguto say that. He gives some pretty good advice, but when he said the word ‘glued’ , I got a bit nervous with introducing rigidity into the swing. I have never gone wrong with Danny’s advice.

[@tonysousa9567]

You are the most valuable instructor/ golf coach out there. Your ability to illustrate your exercises has allowed me to “find my swing” the amount of value from your videos should warrant a tremendous amount of wealth for you.

[@nebraskaresident6654]

I love this lesson. I’m my game this, with grip, and forearm release have been the MOST important fundamentals. Out of decades and 1000’s of videos, lessons, and tips, this one is so valuable. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks glad it’s helpful for you 👍

[@dpceee]

Another great video Danny. You explain the swing so simply! The thing I always have to remind myself is to keep a loose grip on the club. That is an area that will mess me up once I start gripping the club too tight and get too handsy.

[@Muffin192213]

I've watched a number of videos by pros like yourself on how to deal with and correct swing issues and slicing right, you are the only one who addressed the left arm to close or hugging the chest, which is exactly what I'm doing, causing a slice to the right, thank you for addressing this and how to correct it.

Ok, here’s the deal. I see these comments all the time and I question the sincerity. As I post this, it’s 5:45pm (Aus). My Handicap is 17, and I shot 82 off the stick (11 over).

[@craiggembecki2963]

This title is actually accurate. I watched this lesson this morning, and as I was sitting in my chair I knew this was the one and couldn't wait to get to the range. Your videos are a weekly must watch for me, and I have been gradually improving just by taking your instruction to the range. But as I watched this particular video today, I knew that it was all going to click. I just got home from the range, and I hit about 100 balls, but it felt like I had only hit about 5 balls. My swing has never once felt as effortless as it did today. Making solid contact in the middle of the face...I've literally been walking around with my head in the clouds bouncing like Rory since I left the range. I know that sounds a bit exaggerated, but I am being completely honest. Now on to the driver and short game haha. Hope to meet you one day just to shake your hand (but hopefully for a lesson as well).

[@michaelcunningham5083]

I had a lesson yesterday and my instructor totally changed my swing to what you have highlighted in your video. After an hour I was getting the hang of it. Can’t wait to try it on the golf course. I’ve now got to try to change 50 years of swinging it wrong. Great video.

[@brianjohnson8918]

This is gold. It helps me most with the driver. EVERY TIME my driver goes thru a wonky patch, it's because I mess up the patented D.Maude swing "awk" by bringing the hands & arms too much inside/horizontal in the backswing. (I think it's because the shaft angle looks so flat to me at address compared to the irons). Focusing on feeling the hands "gaining elevation/getting higher" as the CH swings back has straightened things out. I need this lesson installed on a chip at the front of my brain. Good work!

[@josiahhurt9218]

Learning the golf swing is such an amazing journey. I've dug into golf the past year and a half. Each time I come back to your videos I gain a little more information because my understanding of the golf swing is growing daily. Thank you for putting the time in to make these videos!

[@marjorypark8732]

[@johnpsota-jenkins7290]

Hi Danny, I saw your driver version of this and didn't have much success, but after videoing myself I realised that this video showed I was doing two things: 1. Coming over and two not bring down the shaft correctly. I have practiced with 60 to 6 iron so far with really great results. I will continue with these clubs until I'm very comfortable. I still have to do a simulation before hitting but I'm so happy. I genuinely cannot thank you enough. I'm bursting. I'll get onto the driver once things become the norm. What a day!

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind of you to feedback

[@danieljaburg2021]

Have to admit, I've been doing the backswing correct. I have to preface it by saying that my wedge/short game has been good, as has been my woods, however mid irons were a S**tshow. Watching the video about distance and shoulder turn enlightened me. I've had issues with mid irons for quite some time. I've watched many of your videos, and I took to heart the shoulder turn, hands up, and I was surprised with the outcome. I golfed yesterday and employing that on the range was a complete revelation to me. Normally my 8 iron is/was ~125-130 and 7 iron ~135-140, but the first good hit (acknowledging the different "feel" took a few hits) of the 7 iron was not a wimpy fade, but a strong albeit slight draw that carried ~150 on an easy controlled swing showed me that you were spot on! I didn't incorporate all the teachings, but shot an 89 with ease. I appreciate your online lessons. I realize not everyone can "actualize" what they see in their swing and therefore your instruction, but for ME it was an amazing moment. Thanks for your free videos. Had this been available when I was stationed in the UK, I would've taken lessons from you. Great content, keep it up. It really helps those of us that just want to NOT be embarrassed when playing golf and can even improve to the point that we play well.

You are exactly right. Jack Nicklaus ALWAYS said that the first 4 inches going back is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the golf swing. He said that if you start back wrong the swing can never be recovered. And he was right. This all came out about 1990 in a Golf Magazine series where someone hooked up a harness to a computer and talked 400 amateurs and 200 touring pros to wear it while they swing. It showed that tour players "carry" the arms and shoulders back with their bodies. This of course formed the word "connected". They stay "connected" with their body, arms, and shoulders. They keep them "centered" to their chest. Hal Sutton was a strong verbal advocate of the same thing. As for me, I went to it, and it worked. It is VERY DIFFICULT to break old habits when you have used your arms and shoulders to start the swing all of your life. I now call that a SNATCH (I snatched it back... wrong !). This is also why today you see so many tour players do a practice take away before the real swing. I do two of them. I feel like I take the club back with the big muscles located on my body trunk just above my belt. This also makes you VERY straight. The Golf Magazine articles also included very good artist photo creations as illustrations. This whole thing also tends to keep you very LEVEL and rotate exactly around your spine angle.

Just saw one of those quick videos that shows about 10 seconds of content from AMG golf and I couldn't figure out how he was getting into the position with where he wanted his hands to be in relation to his trail shoulder, this totally explains it. I've never heard this before and I've watched a bunch of these videos over the years. Wow, Thanks

Perhaps your best tip to-date. I just came from the driving range and my ratio of good to bad strikes doubled! Best of all, I was able to diagnose my errors and correct them in the bay. Can’t wait to see the driver video!

It's all very well knowing what are the common mistakes people make in their swing but being able to explain it so well for the everyday golfer to understand is a great skill. Well done Danny

[@nicted9308]

Danny you are the best at breaking it down and making it simple as I have said many times before. Myself and my golf partner are swinging the club better than ever just now. Many thanks mate

Watching your videos makes me want to leave work early and head to the range. Makes me have more confidence and a more positive outlook on my ability to strike the ball more effectively.

Outstanding. The piece I've been missing and would not have found. Thank you sir.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolute pleasure

[@zendog000]

This is a very fine lesson Danny. I have looked at it over and over. It hits home at my game and the horrendous slice come fade that I have cultivated for years. Tried your methodology the other day and I can't believe how it's straightened up Thanks a lot mate!

[@DanielMaude]

Making the wench motion on the back swing is such an amazing way to think about the body turn. Ty
