Hi Danny,I've played this crazy game for 35 years.i've read many books and had lessons and they have all helped.Since I have been following your videos for the last year and I can honestly say I've learnt more in this period than the previous 35 years.Your not trying to sell me no magic miracle moves just honest and sound advice .keep doing what your doing it WORKS.
Danny your advice had brought me into the game correctly after two seasons of scrambling around like a chicken without a head. Now I’ve got a very good grasp of the game and it’s enjoyable to play. Thank you
At 75 I finally found a coach that makes sense and not to complicated , the old books and Video are gathering dust on the shelf .I thrown every thing in with Danny teaching methods well done Danny , I live in Vancouver but spend 3 month in U.K.(Cheshire ) every years, I will be there in October to February , so I will try and find you ... Alan
Danny's videos are the ONLY golf videos that actually get results for me. He doesn't bog us down with technical swing thoughts. Just building blocks of different feels, with drills to go along. What an absolute beauty. THANK YOU!
This is it, the best single video that has helped my game. I have watched hundreds of golf videos..this is IT, THE VERY BEST. I watch it often because it reminds me of the feel and motion....
Thank you so much Danny. For 30 + years i have been coming over the top on my downswing mainly due to my bringing the club-head inside too soon during my backswing. Flexing the left side whilst extending my right ( trail) side during my backswing (takeaway) has magically resulted in a better release , follow through and much straighter shots. You are the best! Simple , easy to understand yet super effective!
Just left the range. Your rocking drill in one session changed my driver and iron shots beyond belief. Not to mention light grip Killing it. Thank you. Thank you. So simple. And so remarkably effective
Danny, the instruction and information you give on your channel has transformed my golf swing and has made golf so much more fun for me. The way you teach the swing is easy to follow and I can always refer back to my favorite videos if I feel like my swing is ever getting out of sorts.
Danny, this is the best video I've seen explaining the backswing. I ran out to the range right after I watched today and started hitting the ball amazingly. I've always brought the club way inside but struggled how to fix it, even after taking lessons. This video has made it all so clear.
I've gained more improvement in my swing as a result of Danny's lessons that the sum total of all other videos and lessons. He's very clear, very helpful in showing not just telling and very likable.
I'm new to golf - a "RUclips University" student of the game. This video literally changed my iron striking ability overnight. After watching Danny's simple instructions on how to properly turn, I went from topping and chunking everything one day to striking consistently well the next day. Golf is fun now. Thanks, Danny!
Hey Danny! I golfed some when I was younger, but never really learned what to do. I am now retired and have some time, so I decided to give golf a second go. I picked up some clubs and started in earnest to get better about 3 weeks ago. While I am 60, I am still in very good shape. RUclips has been a mixed bag of advice for me as there are so many different videos on "tricks to hit it flush".. So many people offering different advice on how to hit the ball well.. Lucky for me, I found your videos and find them to be top notch. I only watch yours now - I love how you focus on the fundamentals and express yourself so clearly. You're a great teacher, and While I am still duffing my way, I am hitting 260+ yard drives right down the middle and am getting better with my irons.. Then I'll focus on the short game and putting.. Your videos have truly been a great help to me and I very much look forward to seeing all of them - in due time.
I went for years with a wide backswing. Your catapult concept changed that for me. This vid reinforces that idea. With my wide backswing I could never clear my hips either. That caused a lot of pain getting through. Extension and flexion concept is hard to visualize but really allows freedom through the ball impact area. Thanks again, Danny.
Danny you are an incredible teacher… I have followed many instructors but I have never experienced a more simple and explanatory drill to help me feel the muscles that I have never felt before in my back swing. I am going to the range with a more concentrated and focused purpose in my efforts to improve👍😃 Thank you for showing me the HOW TO practice🙏
Danny, Love your backswing take away tip. It has helped be to take the club straight back with a coordinated arm/body move and turn my front shoulder down during the backswing rather than around, and especially put pressure on my right heel and front toe prior to swinging forward. This has helped me from moving my front foot which resulted in inconsistent shots. You are my number one golf instructor. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Danny!!! I am retired and play 3 times a week after not playing for years....in the old days i was a 3 handicapper..but since retirement ive been struggling with blocking out my front side, causing exactly the wrist rolling, and flat swing. , even took lessons from 3 different pro's with no great results...now inflexion, extension is the last words i think before takeaway...striking the ball consistently now!
This is probably my biggest issue with my swing. I don't have near the flexibility that I had when I was younger. Now at 62 my swing and my game are gradually getting better...and that is all thanks to you and your excellent videos. You can bet I'll be practicing these moves on a regular basis! Thank you, Danny!
Danny, the way you breakdown an explain each practice session is priceless. I'm able to wrap my head around it, then work on recreating the drill. Can't say enough, thank You!
Thanks Danny, as I’m getting older my flexibility has reduced and I seem to have tried to compensate with the around move on the back swing. Your video has given me simple drills to help me return to being more vertical and hopefully in better position at the top.
Thanks Mr.Maude I was ready to quit golf 21/2 months ago, because I couldn’t have a round of golf, hitting the ball everywhere, hit the ground etc. I’ve been watching your training, I gained a lots more accuracy by learning the right technique and understand why you hit the ball wrong. Your explanations are so great easy and fun to learn. I went from 116 to 101 way more accurate just have to work on my putting. Thanks a million your the best.
Thanks Danny! The last couple months I’ve been struggling with drawing my approach shots too much- about 10 yards. That’s a tough angle to come in from so I’ve been trying to straighten it out a bit. I’ve watched a lot of videos and tried several things (more open stance, more out to in swing, faster hips), but still struggled. Yesterday it dawned on me to re-watch your videos on takeaway. This immediately fixed my problem as I realized I was taking my backswing a little behind me and rotating a bit more than pivoting. I was able to straighten it right out as well as practice a small fade or still hit a strong draw when I may want to. Your instructional videos are excellent and I really appreciate you!
Exactly what just happened with me! I've been going long and left on most iron shots. Watched this video and now have a lovely fade. I'd been down many RUclips rabbit holes trying to fix it, fingers crossed this is the key for me.
Danny this was so eye opening for me! I was practising this while watching the video and I have never been a better backswing position! I love your videos and they have helped me understand that the swing is dynamic and not rigid and positional. Love it and keep up the great content!
Thank you Danny for helping me recognize how keeping my feet flat is hurting my swing mechanics. An awesome display of how to synchronize your body throughout the entire swing process.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been working the last 4 years on swallowing my plane and attacking from the inside. I go through bouts of feeling like I HAVE to come over the top. I realized I wasn't getting enough body rotation on my backswing to create the space needed to really lower my hands and come at the ball from the inside. This is THE best explanation on RUclips. You may want to add "creating space in the golf swing" to the description so people dealing with being blocked out can find it. Thank you!
The more I play golf the more I am coming to the conclusion that “feel” is everything. When I play my best golf I’m not thinking at all, I’m just feeling the shot. This video reaffirms my thoughts. Thanks Danny. Very helpful. 🏌️♂️👏🏻
This might be the best golf video I’ve seen. In being obsessed with getting more hip rotation I’ve been rotating too much with my irons and they’ve fell to peices. I used to feel so much more natural with my irons in my swing and didn’t know why I felt robotic now but this explains it. More up, less round. Thanks Danny!
@@DanielMaude honestly pal I’ve come back this tonight after a weekend off and it’s such a great drill and feeling to get my brain back familiar with. Thanks a lot bud
Brilliant. Lucid. You communicate the movements, the feeling, the checkpoints, with just the right amount of detail in comprehensible manner. It makes ergonomic sense. You have a gift for teaching, Danny Maude.
Danny Maude, you are simply brilliant. Your instruction is so good, so clear and easy to understand, so caring, so en pointe. You even anticipate the pitfalls or road blocks some will discover and have suggestions for that. Lots of good channels out there but yours is world class I think. You appear to be the best combination of understanding the golf swing AND being able to communicate it because you are a real teacher and a caring human being. All this and I still feel like my words are not enough … just thank you for this channel. 👍🏼
Danny, thanks for this! I’ve been struggling to get proper form swinging for a while. It just felt so unnatural. After doing this, it just clicked and my swing is now timed so much better.
Danny i cant believe its taken me 1 year to find this video. What amazes me im a avid youtube golf junkie always looking for something. That something was today. i wish i could have the year back to arrive at this. Thank you so much!
Hi Danny, just got back into golf a couple of months ago, and your videos/drills are really helping me, I can see the improvement each week, I've even signed up to England golfs igolf to see what kind of handicap I can achieve, many thanks Shane 👍
Hi Danny, this is a great lesson that builds on what you’ve taught recently. My game has really come on in the last few weeks following your tips. Thanks again.
One of your best videos yet, Danny. I've never seen the "H Drill" before (and I watch a LOT of golf training videos). This is core training and I will save and review this video from time to time. Now I'm headed to the range to try it all out. Thanks!
Danny, really good and informative! What I find is I am standing up at top of the backswing when trying to extend. I then don’t get back down so end up flipping or early extending my right arm to reach the ball. Thoughts on how to address this? Thanks for wonderful weekly content!
best instructor ive ever came across. I cant wait to try this on the course, because my take away was always moving sideways, never lifting my right side on take away. ( im right- handed) this feels amazing
Hi,Danny, Really great video and explains the backswing beautifully. I had a dose of the shanks recently and went to see my local pro. He has sorted me out,thankfully, but when I had a few lessons a few years ago, I was told, at parallel to my feet line, to have the toe of the club pointing to the sky. This is where you have yours in this video. However, the local pro insists that I have to get the club face ‘looking at the ball’ longer and, at parallel to the ground, actually closed and still looking at the ball. A little confused now.
This golf drill changed my game from night to day. I never understood how to work the club UP. I didn't even really get the concept of it working UP. I've always thought AROUND with the body, but never also UP. This split hand drill should be taught to every beginner golfer. I want to say THANK YOU for teaching this to me and THANK YOU for posting all your videos. I will be checking out your website for sure.
Thanks Danny. Another great lesson! The flexion/extension drill feels like an excellent warm up before teeing off. And to help to keep on the right lines before crucial shots.
Massive 'ah-ha!' moment from this video. Had a great lesson this week from a chap I think you know, Milo King, who identified a slight tendancy to get 'inside' which was making the swing shallow and contributing to a fat shot. Getting the club back less inside was causing me to feel like I was sliding right, but focusing on that extension of the right side made me realise I wasn't, I was just getting out of my own way and preventing that flatter inside move. Drilling this all weekend!
This single video changed my swing for the better. Wayyyy better! Completely understand now how the proper takeaway sets you up for crashing through that ball. Can’t thank you enough my man. Great job explaining what needs to happen to have a proper go at it!
This is great information for an able-body golfer but I, as a disabled golfer playing from strapped in position on a SoloRider golf cart, have less flexibility and very little lower body strength. Do you have any thoughts for a player that hits from a semi-seated position? thanks
Thank you Danny I’m struggling with my iron striking and these tips explain what I’m doing wrong 😑 just need to get that feeling! So I’ve got a lot of practicing to do 😕 👍 great video as always.
Blimey Danny, this video is perfect! So simply explained. I feel like I've got something concrete that I can work on that is going to improve my swing. love it. cheers
I love your flexion and extension. I have seen other videos using lawnmower pull or loading a bow and arrow. Your description of this finally made sense of this for me. Thank you. This might help me get to low 80s or 70s.
Just started golfing and your videos are GOLD. My friends can’t believe my progress. Thank you for your downloadable practice guides too! Just subscribed!
Thank you very much for this video. I have been playing my best golf ever at age 70 because of your videos. This flexion-extension concept seems like a very important one that I will try to incorporate into my swing. I have never had a lesson so even the concept of a free flowing downswing is sort of like news to me.
Hi Danny, over the last couple of years due to various injuries and illness my swing had deserted me and I had lost distance and control with a result that my handicap has drifted out a long way. Using this tip I have been swinging a club in my garden and already can feel a semblance of my old swing coming back, I have yet to take it to the driving range or the course but the swing feels more natural and powerful. Many thanks for this and the other tips you post
Thanks Danny for explaining the ideal weight distribution of your feet during the swing. That has always been something I haven't been able to figure out. Your drills are very useful to help achieve that goal.
Danny is absolutely the real deal. Whether it is teaching newbies the fundamentals or giving good players benchmarks to keep the gears working properly, he is tops.
Great tip Danny Helped me tremendously!! I was moving off the ball and struggled. This has kept me more centered.and improved my consistency. Keep the tips coming.
Came back to this video, and watched it again a couple times and immediately used this while hitting into my backyard net. I love you man. Seriously, a tear came to my eyes when your father hugged you after the chipping lesson. While I admit it was a term of endearment, like me, I couldn’t contain my excitement over finally understanding and fixing something that has plagued me for years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great advice, I have been working on the takeaway and is really improving my gain. Working on what you have been showing is really improving my game. Thanks for the great advice. Your advice is my go to training when I am having problems.
I have watched hours of golf instruction videos on how to rotate and swing through the ball. All seemed very weird and my body just didn't want to do what I was trying to do from the videos. I watched 2 of your videos, this one and one on rotation, opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong. You made it so simple to understand what I need to be doing. The take away drill and feeling the weight in my feet, I now realize I was twisting/turning my upper body and arms not extending like you say in the backswing. I went to the backyard and did the drill and it just feels so natural that I feel like I can get more club speed now and not ending with my weight on my back foot, causing me to top the ball or slicing it. It's like you say, rotate properly and arms and club just fall into place where they should be. Now to just get to the range and course to try it out.
Thanks again Danny for a very insightful video. Exactly what I was doing wrong too much around then "over the top" much appreciated. My golf ball striking has improved so much since taking your tips onboard.
I tried this on a couple of iron shots today, and hit it 10-15 yards past my normal yardage. I also drove it over a bunker that I normally don’t carry. This absolutely works for extra power, with no extra effort. I’m bad to restrict my turn by not right side extending enough, and not allowing the left obliques to crunch. You demonstrated the flaw that people do perfectly. I’ve saw it on the course EVERYWHERE. Shot even par(72) today. Love your content, Danny.
I'm a subscriber and I really didn't think too much off this split your hands/then right hand drill...until I decided to try it, it's fantastic! I do suffer from quite a "layed off" club at the top of my swing and instantly this felt so different but also so right, even comfortable! I know from experience it'll take quite a while to ingrain the movement but I will work hard to do so. Thanks again for all your dedication to the channel; you're definitely the most agreeable, pleasant and likeable golf instructor on RUclips !
I think all of this is possible with the correct foot work. This is without a doubt the best tutorial I have ever seen on building the golf swing. For me the trigger to get everything started are the feet and hips. It just seems smoother that way. You have helped me fall in love with this great game,thanks so much
This is the video where it finally clicked for me, specifically the part about pressing into the quadrants of my feet to unlock the rotation of my torso. Thank you Danny
This is one of the easiest but detailed backswing videos I have ever seen. Will definitely add it to my daily routine to clean up some issues I found the first time I followed the instructions! Thanks Danny
Danny, This take away fault fix drill. (H drill) and best rotation drill for your backswing and forward swing are your two best drills that I practice a lot during the winter months to get ready for the spring golf season. You are my number one golf instructor. Thank you!
This tip was a very timely reminder. I focused on it yesterday and played my way to a year's best "83". Pretty much kept my ball in play from off the tee and near the green on approach shots. Thanks, Danny.
Wow Danny… I’ve had a bug in my swing for years, and I went from hitting a weak fade to a powerful draw. This video and the accompanying drills are not a trick. They’re fundamentally sound and made a huge difference in my ball striking. Thank you so much!!!!
Wow this is so very insightful and helped me fundamentally understand what I’ve been doing wrong unconsciously with my takeaway!! Thank you for your simple yet well articulated lessons!!!
Never heard this type of discussion about the takeaway! Very intricate but very easy and well explained. This is my Achilles heel always horrible take away. Am in hotels for next week and half will be training with this setup and drills. Can't wait to see results. Thank you for something so intricate and well explained!!
I never was a consistent ball striker and kept hooking and slicing. This simple tip has already shown a vast improvement. Yes, i now have confidence I am going to strike the ball more often. Thanks Danny.
Hi Danny. Can't thank you enough for the videos. I just started playing 2 months ago and am making great progress by putting into practice what you've been demonstrating in your posts. I am striking the balls more consistently and have the knowledge to adjust accordingly when I am making errors. Thanks loads and please keep giving practical advice.
Just found your videos and really love them, they are well made and very easy to follow. This has helped my golf game no end and really easy to follow what I'm meant to do and feel and a better golf flow to my swing so thank you.
Hi Danny. Watched this video last night and went out today and shot a personal best 73. Just had a couple iron shots I pulled left. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Danny. Your video helped me identify the death moves in my golf swing. Yesterday, I went to the practice range after doing these drills for a week. I hit the ball more solidly and on target than I have in a long time. (My handicap was single digit for years, but this past year has been a struggle.) Thanks for the restored hope and joy.

Disagree. A huge part of golf is analyzing and adjusting your swing and course management when things are off. But that's a pretty advanced skill.
Specificatoin of a good golfer.
Emty head and soft body.
This might be the best golf video I’ve seen. In being obsessed with getting more hip rotation I’ve been rotating too much with my irons and they’ve fell to peices.

As a life long golf instruction addict I have rarely seen a better description of how the golf swing really works. Thankyou.
Thanks for taking the time to feedback, all the best Danny
Such a great instructor!!
Appreciate the support Jay
Out on the course in 2 hours and I am binging as much as I can to try and break 90 for the first time!! Great videos
Have fun
Good luck... u can break 90 today!!
Update please.
How’d it go??
You can do it did it myself the other day shot 86 was a great day normally shot low 90s
Danny, thanks for this! I’ve been struggling to get proper form swinging for a while. It just felt so unnatural. After doing this, it just clicked and my swing is now timed so much better.
That’s brilliant William well done
Danny i cant believe its taken me 1 year to find this video. What amazes me im a avid youtube golf junkie always looking for something. That something was today. i wish i could have the year back to arrive at this. Thank you so much!
Amazing to hear Mike
Hi Danny, just got back into golf a couple of months ago, and your videos/drills are really helping me, I can see the improvement each week, I've even signed up to England golfs igolf to see what kind of handicap I can achieve, many thanks Shane 👍
Hope you are still playing some good golf Shane
Possibly the best golf tutor on RUclips!
Really kind Wayne, I know there are some great coaches here online
Hi Danny, this is a great lesson that builds on what you’ve taught recently. My game has really come on in the last few weeks following your tips. Thanks again.
Pleasure Alan, all the best
Probably the best video Uber ever seen on RUclips! Really making a difference in my ball striking thanks Danny!!
Thats great James, all the best
One of your best videos yet, Danny. I've never seen the "H Drill" before (and I watch a LOT of golf training videos). This is core training and I will save and review this video from time to time. Now I'm headed to the range to try it all out. Thanks!
Have fun Mike
Thanks!
You are very welcome
Danny, really good and informative! What I find is I am standing up at top of the backswing when trying to extend. I then don’t get back down so end up flipping or early extending my right arm to reach the ball. Thoughts on how to address this? Thanks for wonderful weekly content!
best instructor ive ever came across. I cant wait to try this on the course, because my take away was always moving sideways, never lifting my right side on take away. ( im right- handed) this feels amazing
Thank you 😁
Hi,Danny,
Really great video and explains the backswing beautifully.
I had a dose of the shanks recently and went to see my local pro. He has sorted me out,thankfully, but when I had a few lessons a few years ago, I was told, at parallel to my feet line, to have the toe of the club pointing to the sky. This is where you have yours in this video. However, the local pro insists that I have to get the club face ‘looking at the ball’ longer and, at parallel to the ground, actually closed and still looking at the ball. A little confused now.
It’s ok either way just depends on your shot tendencies
This golf drill changed my game from night to day. I never understood how to work the club UP. I didn't even really get the concept of it working UP. I've always thought AROUND with the body, but never also UP. This split hand drill should be taught to every beginner golfer. I want to say THANK YOU for teaching this to me and THANK YOU for posting all your videos. I will be checking out your website for sure.
Thanks Kurt 😁
Thanks Danny. Another great lesson!
The flexion/extension drill feels like an excellent warm up before teeing off. And to help to keep on the right lines before crucial shots.
Really hope it helps Rob
Massive 'ah-ha!' moment from this video. Had a great lesson this week from a chap I think you know, Milo King, who identified a slight tendancy to get 'inside' which was making the swing shallow and contributing to a fat shot. Getting the club back less inside was causing me to feel like I was sliding right, but focusing on that extension of the right side made me realise I wasn't, I was just getting out of my own way and preventing that flatter inside move. Drilling this all weekend!
Great Guy Milo, hope this compliments what you are working on
This single video changed my swing for the better. Wayyyy better! Completely understand now how the proper takeaway sets you up for crashing through that ball.
Can’t thank you enough my man. Great job explaining what needs to happen to have a proper go at it!
That’s awesome to hear Vince well done
This is great information for an able-body golfer but I, as a disabled golfer playing from strapped in position on a SoloRider golf cart, have less flexibility and very little lower body strength. Do you have any thoughts for a player that hits from a semi-seated position? thanks
Just think that everything starts from the ground up, if this for you means it starts with the hips then start there not the shoulders
Thanks Danny, consistently the best instructional golf videos on RUclips. You have helped my game immensely.
Thanks so much for the support Jon
Thank you Danny I’m struggling with my iron striking and these tips explain what I’m doing wrong 😑 just need to get that feeling! So I’ve got a lot of practicing to do 😕 👍 great video as always.
Have fun with it David, all the best
Blimey Danny, this video is perfect! So simply explained. I feel like I've got something concrete that I can work on that is going to improve my swing. love it. cheers
Glad it was helpful Scott
Thanks Danny, makes perfect sense. Really good check points for my pre shot routine. Enjoy your weekend ⛳️👍
And you Colin, all the best
You make it easier to visualize and feel what you need to achieve on your backswing.
Thanks Danny!
Really hope it helps Mark
Remember Sports Fans, tension is the killer. Especially with this move. Start off relax and become more relaxed in the turn.
👌
I love your flexion and extension. I have seen other videos using lawnmower pull or loading a bow and arrow. Your description of this finally made sense of this for me. Thank you. This might help me get to low 80s or 70s.
Just started golfing and your videos are GOLD. My friends can’t believe my progress. Thank you for your downloadable practice guides too! Just subscribed!
Extension and Flexion. Mind blown. Thank you Danny. You are heaven sent.
All the best Michael
Thank you very much for this video. I have been playing my best golf ever at age 70 because of your videos. This flexion-extension concept seems like a very important one that I will try to incorporate into my swing. I have never had a lesson so even the concept of a free flowing downswing is sort of like news to me.
Hi Danny, over the last couple of years due to various injuries and illness my swing had deserted me and I had lost distance and control with a result that my handicap has drifted out a long way. Using this tip I have been swinging a club in my garden and already can feel a semblance of my old swing coming back, I have yet to take it to the driving range or the course but the swing feels more natural and powerful. Many thanks for this and the other tips you post
Pleasure Alec all the best
Thanks Danny for explaining the ideal weight distribution of your feet during the swing. That has always been something I haven't been able to figure out. Your drills are very useful to help achieve that goal.
I have watched this video several times now. It is absolutely brilliant and if you practice these drills you will see the results. Thx again!
So great to hear Estaban
Danny Rules 🤙🏼
Cracking tip for those of us of increasing years and stiffness. Simple and effective. Thank you for your help.
You are very welcome Francis
Danny is absolutely the real deal. Whether it is teaching newbies the fundamentals or giving good players benchmarks to keep the gears working properly, he is tops.
Great tip Danny
Helped me tremendously!! I was moving off the ball and struggled. This has kept me more centered.and improved my consistency. Keep the tips coming.
Awesome, well done Ed
Came back to this video, and watched it again a couple times and immediately used this while hitting into my backyard net. I love you man. Seriously, a tear came to my eyes when your father hugged you after the chipping lesson. While I admit it was a term of endearment, like me, I couldn’t contain my excitement over finally understanding and fixing something that has plagued me for years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks Leroy very kind of you appreciate the support 😁
Simple, easy to follow and to the point. Excellent and student friendly by all means. Thank you so much!
Pleasure Anthony, all the best
Great advice, I have been working on the takeaway and is really improving my gain. Working on what you have been showing is really improving my game. Thanks for the great advice. Your advice is my go to training when I am having problems.
I have watched hours of golf instruction videos on how to rotate and swing through the ball. All seemed very weird and my body just didn't want to do what I was trying to do from the videos. I watched 2 of your videos, this one and one on rotation, opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong. You made it so simple to understand what I need to be doing. The take away drill and feeling the weight in my feet, I now realize I was twisting/turning my upper body and arms not extending like you say in the backswing. I went to the backyard and did the drill and it just feels so natural that I feel like I can get more club speed now and not ending with my weight on my back foot, causing me to top the ball or slicing it. It's like you say, rotate properly and arms and club just fall into place where they should be. Now to just get to the range and course to try it out.
That’s wonderful to hear, thanks for taking the time to share
Thanks again Danny for a very insightful video. Exactly what I was doing wrong too much around then "over the top" much appreciated. My golf ball striking has improved so much since taking your tips onboard.
That’s wonderful Patrick, thanks for letting me know
perfect video for where I am in learning to swing properly!!!! Will be watching and doing this one over and over. Thanks!!
All the best Carey
I tried this on a couple of iron shots today, and hit it 10-15 yards past my normal yardage. I also drove it over a bunker that I normally don’t carry. This absolutely works for extra power, with no extra effort. I’m bad to restrict my turn by not right side extending enough, and not allowing the left obliques to crunch. You demonstrated the flaw that people do perfectly. I’ve saw it on the course EVERYWHERE. Shot even par(72) today. Love your content, Danny.
Amazing! Well done Jamie
I'm a subscriber and I really didn't think too much off this split your hands/then right hand drill...until I decided to try it, it's fantastic! I do suffer from quite a "layed off" club at the top of my swing and instantly this felt so different but also so right, even comfortable! I know from experience it'll take quite a while to ingrain the movement but I will work hard to do so.
Thanks again for all your dedication to the channel; you're definitely the most agreeable, pleasant and likeable golf instructor on RUclips !
I think all of this is possible with the correct foot work. This is without a doubt the best tutorial I have ever seen on building the golf swing. For me the trigger to get everything started are the feet and hips. It just seems smoother that way. You have helped me fall in love with this great game,thanks so much
@feltn78 that’s great. Thank you so much for your support 👍🏻
This is the video where it finally clicked for me, specifically the part about pressing into the quadrants of my feet to unlock the rotation of my torso. Thank you Danny
That’s awesome, thanks for taking the time to share
This is one of the easiest but detailed backswing videos I have ever seen. Will definitely add it to my daily routine to clean up some issues I found the first time I followed the instructions!
Thanks Danny
That’s awesome to hear Mark, have fun practicing
Danny, This take away fault fix drill. (H drill) and best rotation drill for your backswing and forward swing are your two best drills that I practice a lot during the winter months to get ready for the spring golf season. You are my number one golf instructor. Thank you!
Danny your videos have brought me to tears how remarkable you are my lord
Just really happy to help
This tip was a very timely reminder. I focused on it yesterday and played my way to a year's best "83". Pretty much kept my ball in play from off the tee and near the green on approach shots. Thanks, Danny.
Amazing! Well done Anthony
Worked on that up 2nd drill today. Saved my 3 iron. Thank you danny you're the man.
3 wood not 3iron
Nice work!
Wow Danny… I’ve had a bug in my swing for years, and I went from hitting a weak fade to a powerful draw. This video and the accompanying drills are not a trick. They’re fundamentally sound and made a huge difference in my ball striking. Thank you so much!!!!
Wow- easily the best explanation of the role of extension in the swing, and how to achieve it, I've ever seen! Thanks as always, Danny.
Really happy to help
Gets better every week easy to follow. Great video
Thank you for the feedback Terry 🙏
Great segment!!! This truly shows my faults on my take away and now my ball striking has improved. Thank you!! 🙌🏼⛳️⛳️
Wow this is so very insightful and helped me fundamentally understand what I’ve been doing wrong unconsciously with my takeaway!! Thank you for your simple yet well articulated lessons!!!
You are very welcome Michael
Never heard this type of discussion about the takeaway! Very intricate but very easy and well explained. This is my Achilles heel always horrible take away. Am in hotels for next week and half will be training with this setup and drills. Can't wait to see results. Thank you for something so intricate and well explained!!
You are very welcome Bruce
I never was a consistent ball striker and kept hooking and slicing. This simple tip has already shown a vast improvement. Yes, i now have confidence I am going to strike the ball more often. Thanks Danny.
All the best Mike
Hi Danny. Can't thank you enough for the videos. I just started playing 2 months ago and am making great progress by putting into practice what you've been demonstrating in your posts. I am striking the balls more consistently and have the knowledge to adjust accordingly when I am making errors. Thanks loads and please keep giving practical advice.
Thanks so much for the support Diana, really happy to help
Just found your videos and really love them, they are well made and very easy to follow. This has helped my golf game no end and really easy to follow what I'm meant to do and feel and a better golf flow to my swing so thank you.
That’s wonderful Jason, welcome to the channel
Hi Danny. Watched this video last night and went out today and shot a personal best 73. Just had a couple iron shots I pulled left. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Danny. Your video helped me identify the death moves in my golf swing.
Yesterday, I went to the practice range after doing these drills for a week. I hit the ball more solidly and on target than I have in a long time. (My handicap was single digit for years, but this past year has been a struggle.)
Thanks for the restored hope and joy.
That’s brilliant Rita happy to help
One of your lessons I always return to when I feel my backswing is getting too flat or disconnected. Thank you.
