You Can Ruin Your Golf Swing When You Start Like This

[@chrispannerz4084]

The water out of the ear tip is solid gold for me. As always, thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure chris

[@pulau6481]

This is the only golf channel worth watching for me. Have massively improved in last 6 months. A long road ahead but the way Danny explains it makes sense to me. I know when it feels right

[@kurtg9684]

The arms at chest suggestion has really unified my body with the club for a much more reliable swing plane. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Happy to help Kurt

[@ianburton9223]

Thank you for persevering in this weather.

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure, I was suitably soaked by the end

[@johnherman3261]

So Danny; I went out and played yesterday after watching this video. Short back swing , short follow through I did this with irons and my driver. Shot the best round that I’ve shot in months. Honestly I was about to give up on the game, I’m seventy years old. I hit my driver consistently down the fairway 220/230 yards. Yes, I had hiccups but I feel like I can still shoot in the low eighties like I did three years ago. Thanks Danny you’re the best!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s super good John well done

[@joycejeong-x4b]

The golf swing in this video is a testament to the skill and artistry of the game. The seamless execution of each movement is captivating, and I am eager to apply similar principles to my own swing. This video has sparked a renewed passion for improvement in my golf game.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help

[@allanpontiere6177]

Thanks again Danny. Wish I could come and see you in person for lessons !!! Question…..do these steps and techniques in this video also used with the driver? …. Looks like no wrist hinge ??

[@DanielMaude]

Yes, absolutely Allan

[@michaelcerrone4052]

The cross handed drill is one of my favorites period. It really encourages a full coil and solid swing path. Great swing Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Michael

[@dontelfer5269]

I won my first monthly medal at my new club recently and I attribute this to your brilliant tuition Danny. My handicap is coming down nicely. Thanks once again.

[@nathanb1886]

That lesson with Cowan changed the game. I am completely overhauling my swing. It’s not there yet, but I have done it “right” now a few times and it’s the best strike feeling I have ever had.

[@tjvbham5831]

Wish everyone were as committed to their job as you, Danny. Thanks for the great lessons.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help

[@garycobe3472]

Thank you!!! I just started taking lessons and this is spot on for me! I've quoted u a few times already during my lessons. Not sure he appreciates it. 😉But you are really helping me!

[@ianburton9223]

Purely by chance last Tuesday my wife took a photo of me at the top of my backswing down the line. It showed that my swing had flattened so that the club shaft was at 30° to the ground at the top and not as high as I used to have. So up to now I have been trying to work out how to get back to my previous swing path. You have just provided a potential solution. It's pouring rain in the garden right now but, as soon as the sun comes out, I'll be in the net in the garden (with aforesaid wife for photo/video work) to try this out. I fear it will be some time before the strike improves because the flattened swing has had me striking the ball better than previously, but not as consistently as I once could do. Thank you and I hope you did not get too wet doing this video for us.

[@DanielMaude]

I got soaked but it was well worth it

[@joemcgrath7502]

Great golf swing fundamentals, to recap on. Always an energetic and inspirational teacher, particularly on another wet Saturday morning. Can’t wait to ingrain into my swing. Thanks a million Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolute pleasure Joe

Thank you so much Danny. Always an absolute pleasure watching and hearing your instruction. Top notch.

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind thank you

[@smudgesmith7007]

Brilliant, and explained in a straightforward manner, as usual.

[@davidrichards4261]

Absolutely brilliant stuff. I have just started playing with my 2 sons this year. I'm nearly 60 and they are in their 20's. We have improved loads, mainly down to the Get Good at Golf guys and yourself. I was saying on our last round that we are a couple of centimetres away from improving further, especially our consistency. I will share this with them and hopefully we can knock a few shots off our score. We are going to book some lessons in later in the year to take onto the driving range over winter. Thanks for some great content.

[@DanielMaude]

Have fun David

[@jeffsharp6798]

I will just start to play this video before each game. It’s so on point and makes such a difference.

[@DanielMaude]

All the best Jeff

[@robertvoelker7050]

Watched this video this AM - yesterday I could not hit a full swing shot without a disaster - fat, thin, slice … went to driving range after watching the video, and it totally altered my swing pattern, contact - THANKS so much for sharing this (it has changed my whole outlook toward golf)!!!

[@austino65]

My ball striking is getting better and my handicap is finally coming down. Had the best round of my life last week and my kids didn't believe it (but luckily I had a witness). All the credit goes to you. I just have to be more consistent. Keep it up!

[@redb-jk6zl]

This is a GEM,,, has more than one brilliant tips to fix many problems all condensed in one amazing lesson! I have to say of all the many, many golf tips vids I've ever watched this single one tops them all! TY so much DANNY !

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing to hear

[@EagleJim62]

Always worth it to stop and watch a Danny Maude video.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support

[@Deanriley]

These videos have helped me (in my 70s) make great progress since I started a year ago, along with lessons from club pros. Thank you for all the great content, especially showing lessons with beginners and seniors.

[@philhilton1026]

Excellent Danny. Creating the foundations for the striking lessons from Pete Cowen 👍🏼

[@DanielMaude]

More to come!

[@macsupforfun]

A real trooper, neither rain nor sleet nor hail will stop the production of your great videos!

[@DanielMaude]

Much appreciated

[@BigDawgCAM]

I do a back and forth motion with the Orange Whip to really drill this in. Until this year, I was starting too steep and coming over the top on every swing. Drilling has been helping me keep the feel of staying on that 45 degree plane

[@michaelchittock]

Great to see most of the key backswing points explained so well in 1 video. Have saved this one 🙏🏼

[@DanielMaude]

Glad it was helpful Michael

[@amichaels-v3]

I love the graphics you added to this video, really good visual aids! Great lesson, Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Aaron

Wonderful Daniel, from start to finish, thanks a lot for sharing. (I will put it in practice today)

[@DanielMaude]

Happy to help Jose 😁

[@mattcristino9804]

I could have used this advise today Danny. Seem to have lost rhythm with my swing. The cack handed drill is a must and helps immensely. Have a good week

[@chrismccabe7378]

Quite a few of your videos have helped my game - but THIS ONE!! - amazing. Brilliant work.

[@DanielMaude]

Great to hear Chris

[@eslawbilling5092]

Thanks for this new lesson Danny which builds on the past few lessons esp the Pete Cowen drills on solid right arms for solid contacts. Til the next lesson

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you

[@Mrtee1950]

We don't know each other but my game has improved an amazing amount over the last couple of years because of your youtube videos. You make everything so easy to understand. So thank you very much.

[@davidcomeau2204]

Danny, I’ve been using this drill for a few weeks now when you mentioned it a few videos back… It’s really been working well and helping with my irons… Thank you

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you for your excellent advice. Some serious practice will be needed to reap the rewards.

[@DanielMaude]

How’s your golf Alan

[@alangoudie2299]

I played 18 holes off the red tees, scoring 95..I was tired after 14 holes , made a few more poor shots but my handicap worked out as 19. As an 80 year old I recommend older or injured golfers enjoying a realistic challenge off the red tees instead of struggling off the yellow tees. Obviously if you are capable the yellow tees is the place to be. Next year I will be using a golf buggy for 18 holes. I did not see Danny's latest video until after my tea.

[@ノホリマキコ]

Thank you for the brilliant lesson! I am a beginner and struggling with inconsistency of my swing, ball contact, etc. I will definitely take these fundamentals of golf to driving range as well as golf course! Looking forward to your next lesson😘 Your big fan from Japan😉

[@ehboswell]

Yesterday my buddies said to me, “whatever you’re doing differently on your swings, you’ve got to bottle it!” I told them it was a couple of basics (tucking the trail arm and creating the 45 degree circle in my back swing) that l learned from Danny Maude. I still have a long way to go on consistency, but I hit two my best shots ever yesterday! Thanks so much for the past month of lessons.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing to hear well done

Hi Danny. I have been a subscriber for a while but deliberately left coaching videos alone this summer to see how I got on. Feel I’ve lost my way a little so booked some lessons locally. However, you are my go-to KZbin golf coach, so here I am and glad I did. It’s like this video was prepared for where I am atm. Thank you. Also wanted to let you know my previous subscription was no longer live and I had to renew it. Anyone else had this happen?

[@artieoconnor3425]

Excellent set of drills. I'm working with a Junior Varsity and beginners golf team - - - we will incorporate theses tips next week.

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnritchie8336]

Great stuff - this weekly training will help anyone get better as it is so coherent week on week. Thanks Danny & team for the commitment in producing this.

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help John

[@Letouane]

Thank you Danny, it will be my drill tomorrow morning berfore the course

[@johnschwartz1536]

All great and valuable information Danny! I never gave thought to the fact that the golf club is on a 45* angle nor that the swing is on a 45* angle. Now that I know this fact, maybe my golf swing will be more consistent. I like the reverse hands drill which is good for so many things. Good Job Danny! Keep up the good work!!

[@joneastelow3242]

The key to all these great training videos is the phrase Danny mentioned at the end....Be prepared to put in the time. Great material.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you

[@wrighty1957]

Great video Danny as a senior golfer slowly getting my handicap down ,now at 20 your tips are a great help😊

[@slglass1234]

Danny been following your videos for a while now with a little success. However over the last 2 months I've been practising for an hour or 2 2 to 3 times a week. What a difference. my handicap has dropped from 24.1 to 16.8. I still struggle with the driver being inconsistent, one slice, one hook and one down the middle. This is where i'm losing shots. I'll keep following your videos in the hope it all works. Thanks for the help.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s amazing progress and good for you for persisting

[@alancrombie8484]

Danny, many thanks for this week's video. I took this to the range this afternoon, as I realised that l needed to implement your "step 1", as this was something I hadn't picked up on. It really made a significant difference! So again, thanks for being so good at what you do, the way you break things down, and the quality of your videos, the graphics overlays, and how you describe the motions and feels. This has helped me feel like I've really turned a corner in my journey back into golf after a 15 year break!! Thank you so much.

[@luxefalcon2730]

And always stay connected. That's about the #1 thing I need to remember

[@mikebarker9910]

Brilliant - I know we all have different ways of visualising the golf swing but this is by far the best for my little brain. Focusing on the arc/circle just makes sense to me .....

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome to hear Mike

@DanielMaude when you get back in the studio it would be interesting to understand which Trackman metrics indicate that the swing is on the correct plane.

[@DanielMaude]

You're welcome!

[@rob5333]

I just started golfing this summer, had my best range session yet thanks to this video. Your setup tips of arms on the chest and straight with the trailing arm slightly back has helped me greatly in being able to feel like I'm at least getting in the same position and getting a solid backswing each time. This coupled with keeping the head steady and eye on the ball are so helpful for getting any kind of consistency!

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome to hear Rob, love to hear how you get on going forward

[@marnew1000]

Another brilliant instructional video Danny, thanks again 👍🏻

[@DanielMaude]

Very welcome

[@terrygain1343]

A great video with lots of information concerning the basics which are grip, stance and alignment. Everyone can master these static basics. Keeping the head still is a great tip which promotes solid contact but tge swing begins with the takeaway. Australian golf teacher Ryan Mouque has a video of the best takeaway drill I have seen in the 64 years I have been playing golf.

I remember the video you posted where you were getting a lesson...and the one thing your Pro mentioned, was again, shown today...just a tad differently...methinks, in the prior video, the elbows were again cited, but, you also mentioned the placement of...both biceps also being facing out(in this video, both are in fact facing out)...took some time to adapt to this, but the trail elbow much better behaved and shots are spot on...unless I rush it..and then the flight of the ball instantly tells me the mistake...thanks for these tips...

Great video. My surgery residency buddy was team mates with John Daly at Arkansas. We got into a big money game at a Tillinghouse golf course in the dregs of Dallas and got fleeced by a guy that played cross handed. I shot 74 and my buddy shot under par. The cross hander ( Crews from the Nike tour in the 90’s) shot 65. They followed us to the ATM. Cedar Crest golf course was the home of the 1927 PGA championship. It’s a great little track

You, sir, are a gift to us all 😁 Went directly to the range and tried this and wow, what a difference! I have probably had my elbows too close to my body befors, because I hit the ball much better now. Meatier sound from the strike and better ball flight. Can’t wait to go out on the course and hit some real golf balls. Thanks again 🙏

Fantastic!

[@neilsharp4300]

As a 63 year old 5hcp, at times I’m an ok golfer, recently I lost my swing, stood over the ball, a thousand thoughts went through my head, I was all over the place, I followed Danny’s instructions (last three videos) I was sceptical, I felt constrained by the arms on the chest, but after 45 minutes in the garden I relaxed and felt comfortable, today I took this out on the course, OMG the difference, straight shots, comfortable over the ball, my confidence returned, shot a gross 73, can’t thank you enough Danny, you’ve made an old man very happy.

[@Chris-lh6hw]

Great job Danny especially in the Beautiful British Weather. I really appreciate your videos 🙏

Since you feel strongly abut creating the "circle", would you recommend using one of the circular training aids (PlaneSwing or Explanar) that you stand inside of?

ELBOWS ON THE CHEST!!

[@Randi-l4q]

2:22 I used to play baseball during highschool... I'm still new to golf and sometimes still struggling to hit the ball consistently, however, I've also found that doing exactly like what you show in the video help me maintaining the swing circle, it improve my impact and consistency. Most baseball player did that similar move you showed prior to batting. For me golf is very annoying but also challenging at the same time. Why... because the ball was flying fast towards the player in baseball, while in golf the ball just sit on the ground and yet I'm struggling to hit it 🤣🤣

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. One big difference you may have to get used to is in golf your hands and arms need to be used to present a square face at impact too

[@trxe420]

I agree, that cross handed drill might be the best drill I have ever come across. It almost forces you into the correct positions and then you can get a sense of what right feels like. I almost want to try and play that way lol.

[@xTheRadioStar]

Fantastic video, Danny! I'd been working on my stance alignment and wondering why I still can't draw the ball when I want to. I think I've not even considered my shoulder alignment. The tip about having your trail arm tucked and the lead arm visible from behind was a real AHA moment. Fixing this and practicing it until it feels normal will free up my head from so many useless swing thoughts.

[@edwardbrown6245]

Great video Danny a lot of great tips in here ..thanks buddy!

[@loutennant99]

Once again, fantastic explanation and demonstrated so well. Just to be certain, you are moving your lower half slightly ahead of the ball while your head remains over to move bottom of swing ? Have you now moved golf clubs? Thanks, great stuff as always.

You are correct, still at Canterbury but they’ve had a few problems with their range recently so haven’t been able to film early
