Step 2 is a golden tip. Getting a feel for the club, where the bottom point is and how it’s interacting with the turf is extremely important. Mostly because we hardly ever have a perfectly flat lie. Once you get a feel of that motion you’ll be able to make those tiny adjustments to accommodate your lie. Well done
You're the best! Not too much info, not too little, and to the point. You are able to communicate your lessons clearly, which is a huge plus. And your videos are not too long...
I can’t believe how much I have improved since watching you Danny , like I said before I have got rid of everybody else on my RUclips & I am concentrating only on you, I am now at a handicap of 18 and looking to be 15 shortly as I have not put a card in since all the improvements , my Golf Buddies are like WOW 😮 Because I’m putting in the proper practice thank you so much Danny. .💥🏌🏼♂️🥳. PS I don’t know where you are but I would love a lesson 👊
Dave Winter that’s really great to hear Dave and makes all the hard work worth it. I’m based in Canterbury, Kent, England. You can always reach out to support@dannymaude.com
Danny Maude done ✅ it’s going to be great on the course this summer and really enjoy the skills I have developed thanks to you which will bring the fun back to my golf , it means a lot more than you will ever know as I suffer from military PTSD I must admit you are outstanding in the way that you are so passionate about making people better golfers see you soon Danny👍🏼
The timing of this video is perfect! Topping is killing my score right now, never used to top but something has subtly changed and I don't know what? This video is the start of getting back to flushing the woods! On a weird side not, I wear the same bobble hat and have just bought new G410 driver, 3 wood and 4 hybrid, it's like watching myself without the beautiful swing!
Danny, you are the best golf coach I have found on RUclips. After 30 years off and on of hacking the ball, finally it all seems to start making sense now...
Like many of the others who have subscribed to Danny, I too have seen improvements to my game. I am 60 years of age, playing of 8 and trying desperately to cut my handicap before it gets too late. Recently, in winter conditions, my last 3 rounds have been +3, +6 and +7. Danny, your influence is all over my golf at the moment and I am grateful to you sir. I watch no other pro as no other pro, IMHO, explains things in such a sensibly simple manner. Thank you Danny and good luck to you sir. Keep it up.
Thus is the Philosophy of Hitting your Second shot First.. I know , we all address the Ball with everything in our minds going off like a 1 armed bandit, tense, anticipation, bells going off, things going round and round, when we should be relaxed, natural swing, not trying to kill it , just go with it, make contact. alot of Golf ,I think,is in our own mind, our Bodies have the natural ability to create a good swing, our Minds on the other hand , well that's another story. after hitting a top shot, duff, shank, what ever , we will address the next ball, same shot, and knock 1 out there, nice and smooth because we have already rid our selves of all that was going on in the first swing, so just hit your second shot first, all of this I've gathered from your Videos/Instructions . Thanks for another great Video.
Right off the bat, I was in sync with Brian. I would be so hyper focused on hitting the ball, I wasn’t thinking of anything else. This may sound like an infomercial, but since I have been watching Danny Maude’s videos, I am well along a path to recovery from horrible golf play. Not kidding - the videos exclusively on this channel are giving me hope I will get through an entire hole - maybe even two in a row- without feeling the need to invent new cuss words to vent my frustration. This is huge.
Danny, your videos are the best on RUclips! Easy to follow instructions in a friendly tone. I was always nervous chipping and pitching around the green until I found your videos this summer. Now I look forward to chipping as it has become one of my strengths. Keep bringing the great content. Winter here in Minnesota so all I can do is watch and wait.
A million thanks, I went back as a refresher to all of your videos and I now understand the “why” in my bad shots from all my clubs.thank you, I love this game too much to give it up, even at age 64.
So I've been topping my fairway woods a lot lately. There is nothing more frustrating. I watched this video three times with a visit to the range in between. Today I played and hit three very solid 3-woods. I found the key was finding the bottom of my swing and opening up towards the target.. Thank you for the great lesson.
Your video lessons are really the best I've seen. So good to take concepts of how to 'feel' something instead of always thinking of an end result. You've helped me so much, THANK YOU!
It's like this lesson was written for me Danny. The times that I hit a really good drive on a par 5 and then send the 3 or 5 wood 50 yards. Off to the range tomorrow, thanks mate 😃🦘🦘
Great instruction again. May seem obvious to most, but once you highlighted "over focusing" on the ball causing the body to stiffen, I can now relate to the times I duff fairway shots, although mine are usually heavy rather than topped. Next time I'll know to get into "the flow" more , feel less anxious and hopefully, have better results!
Brilliant video Danny! Usually, my fairway woods and hybrids are okay, but get the occasional, "jumping out of my shoes", trying to hit it further and harder thereby not hitting the ball cleanly. Excellent tips to work on. Cheers, Mate!
Great tips. After a miserable round on Monday where I gave up on fairway woods and hybrids, tried these tips on the range yesterday, and out on the course today, just concentrating on the flow and the gliding the surface. Much better contact than Monday, and a lot of really good shots. Thanks!
I picked up golf during the pandemic, and i could never hit my hybrid or 3 wood, fast fotward to this week, i watched this video, when to the range worked on these drills and now my 3 wood and Hybrids are flying off the club. thank you Danny for you great work growing the game for guys like me....
Great video as usual Danny. Honestly mate you’ve helped my game massively. When even I’m struggling with a certain shot, you’re the go to guy for the problem
Love it Danny. I hate (fear) the hybrid cause I am bad with them. Watched this video this morning before playing a round . Had the throw the club thought in my head and used the hybrid 4 times. All relatively decent strikes. Broke 100 for first time ever too. Thanks for free content. It's really well explained and helpful for new players like me.
Yes... You spoke about swinging the club through to point at the target a few weeks ago re irons and I have been working on this to great effect. Still having to consciously think about it but but definitely hitting cleaner and straighter than ever. Can not be overstated. Thanks Danny.
Danny Maude Hi Danny I’m 71 years old and picked up a golf club for the first time in my 66th year. After a few lessons with my club pro and submitting three cards I was given the maximum handicap of 28. Four years later I was still playing off of 28, then I found you on U tube. I have been improving and have got down to 22 , today with a score of 46 points I am now down to 19.3 just wanted to say THANK YOU 👍
Watched this video yesterday Friday, went to range this morning, followed everything you said in this video, "it all worked thru the 30 balls I hit with my 3 wood. I swung or threw the club around the corner, smooth flowing swing, the ball took off straight; 205 off the deck. Next is taking it to the course from the range. Will continue to work at this before saying a true fix.Thank you,
Absolutely delighted to have found your channel. Your fantastic approach addressing those fun things of swing, balance and freeing up the arms. In addition to Wrist motion, getting the club to do the work while you sway on the course 😂and enjoying the elements. Best golf instructions in years for me at least!!🤷🏻♂️ Helping me get back into the game, enjoy it and avoiding frustration and pain! Many thanks
Great video Danny. I remember another lesson you posted about topping fairway woods that helped me a lot. Whenever I get over a hybrid or fairway wood I think “sling and turn”. Really appreciate your help.
You honestly are the best coach here in RUclips. I have only been playing golf for 6 weeks! Just 30 mins ago, I was hitting consistent bombs at 300+ yards. All because of the tips from your videos. Thank you!
If you are confident with your technique, I found that if you just let go of your body, ball will start to fly straight and long. It’s fun! I spent time just drilling to figure out my technique and then LET GO!
@@robzkie659 unfortunately I practiced too hard multiple days and got a rib subluxation. Hopefully after a week or two of rest I'll be back out there working on Driver. I'd be thrilled with 300 yards. Keep up the good work!
Great video thanks Danny. I tick all the boxes of the things that you mentioned, I top the ball. I will put this int action and work at it. Fingers crossed.
When I started watching your video, I thought of the tip of laying a tee 2 inches is front of your ball and then transferring your weight to the front foot and swishing the grass, hitting the ball and tee and then extend my arms straight and low toward the target. Later in your video, you mentioned the same tips. You are my favorite golf instructor.
Another great video Danny! Topping the woods is my #1 problem in this game. if it ever stops snowing here in Chicago, I'm going to put this into practice.
This is a game changer for me.Used this method on the course today and it worked so well with my 3,5 and 7 woods. Can't wait to hit my new Uw club next week using the same principle. keep up the great work Danny,its really appreciated.
another excellent video Danny. Enjoyed watching your lesson and improving my game since I started applying your tips. Warm Regards from the Philippine Islands
Danny, I am 5 months playing golf now and find myself getting very confused between iron striking and fairway wood striking. I particularly find the "slow motion" component of this particular video so I can repeat look at all the aspects of setup, swing and finish. BUT I would also find useful a side-by-side slow motion view of iron and fairway wood setup, strike and finish so I can begin to understand and then feel the subtle differences between these. thanks !!
Another good tip. Throughout your videos has been creating space and swinging through which is really transforming my game so a huge thanks. My swing thought now is look and concentrate where I am wanting to hit the ball.
Another terrific instructional video Danny, I look forward to these. This one is particularly pertinent to my game. It is amazing how the subconsciousness works in golf. In my game, a topped hybrid or a thinned iron will almost always be followed by a chunked/fat shot. I think this sequence of tips in this vid will help a lot - off to the practice ground!! Cheers and thanks again - Steve
Thank you as always you are so helpful. When I see you without the woolly hat and in a pair of shorts I will know its time to head back north to the UK. Judging by the weather where you are on this video I think I will stay put for a while.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video has really helped me with my woods. Played today and didn't top a single shot with my woods. And seemed to add a few extra yards aswell. Cheers 👍🏌
Superb Danny I top my woods all the time but this will help immensely just about to leave for a winter medal so will be adopting this into my game 👍🏻👍🏻🏌️🏌️
Hey Danny, another great video on how to not top your shots. Cannot wait to get out onto a course that's not waterlogged to try out your tips. Back to the range!
It went very well, I got this Xxio fairway club for Christmas, and now I´m ”getting to know it” better with your good advice! Have a nice Saturday evening, Danny!
Process engineer here….yes, there are no quick fixes….often several steps to be mastered before we can eliminate ball topping. As an older golfer, I often get fatigued, and as u said, just stare at the ball determined to hit it, and forget my body, shoulders, hips and legs moving in one motion. Without the body moving, I cannot glide the club to the ball. Excellent video!
@@DanielMaude, 10 years without playing, due to worrying if my back would spasm, watched your videos, now I'm back playing 3 times a month, not scoring great, but really enjoying it, (still got my Wilson Di6). Canterbury is 3 hours away, you never know, maybe one day I will have that lesson I keep promising myself.
This is great advice, I hit a lot of fairway woods and hybrids but find my results to be very inconsistent. One thing I’ve definitely noticed is that I’m more consistent when I slow my swing speed down.
I have a chronic illness for topping my fairway woods and irons . My main issue was standing up and trying to hard to crush the ball . You had a video a few months ago about this same topic and it was suggested to try some foot powder . I also noticed i was choking down on the club handle a little I have learned to be calm and relax and swing naturally with proper follow trough ., I am not cured by any means but improving and hitting my clubs much much better . My average score in my league was anywhere from 115- 132 ...Just terrible . But taking many of your suggestions I have improved been scoring 92-99 . looking forward to this year league play and break into the 80's . Little steps
Hi Danny. I watched a video of yours earlier this week that also concentrated on target rather than strike. When I played on Friday my irons were still a bit ropey but my driver strikes had improved dramatically. Hardly missed a fairway and a few VERY long ones. Why? Because suddenly I was getting through the ball into a finishing position and not getting stuck. I noticed it immediately. Many thanks!
Another excellent lesson Danny . I don’t get to practice as much as I like but whilst my scores haven’t fallen dramatically ( I keep doing stupid things on a few holes which kills my card) I hit more shots more cleanly and invariably have stopped losing about 4 balls a round and now rarely lose any. Your videos have helped that to happen. I need a load more practice and that’s key to real improvement ... but love your lessons and sensible stuff as you explain why you need to do what you should be doing.. keep it up..
Great lesson as usual. I'm struggling with course management. I wondered whether you have considered producing a video where we follow you around a par 3, a par 4 and a par 5 hole, with you commentating on your thought process. Doing it alongside an "average" golfer and us watching you coaching them would be also helpful. Just a thought
@@DanielMaude Sorry it didn’t work for me, still behind/topping and rising true impact, very frustrating when I just want to get nice crispy shots, but I guess it’s in my body/mind for so long Its really hard to cure 😭
I am very frustrated. Thank you for all your videos, they are very helpful. My problem is that everyone tells me that I should glide along the grass when using a fairway wood but I do not know how to change my swing, or ball position, as apposed to striking with an iron.
The key word from Danny is flow ... I was always (and still am) hestitating to use the fairway wood. But - with the help of Dannys tips and drills - I start to improve. As a senior the process of getting the ball up in the air is sometimes slow but is improving with the help of this video. Thamxs Danny!
Your teaching skills are great. Wet conditions have been our demise lately. Topping the ball or hitting it fat. Topping is probably to compensate for fat shots, which I think are because we sink into the wet ground. Any tips for this situation will be appreciated in a future video.
I like how Danny has to try and top it. He could have just filmed me on the course if he wanted to show what topping a club was
👍
Yes…it’s as hard for him to hit bad shot, as it is for me to hit a good shot. 😆
Step 2 is a golden tip. Getting a feel for the club, where the bottom point is and how it’s interacting with the turf is extremely important. Mostly because we hardly ever have a perfectly flat lie.

Chris Golfer my pleasure Chris, it’s one we all need at some point in our golfing journey
Unbelievable teacher. It’s never made so much sense. Thanks Danny
Your swing circle tips added to this tip are a formula for success. thank you.
Thank you, I enjoy your method of breaking down the swing. Especially when shown in slow motion as it solidified everything your teaching.

@@DanielMaude, 10 years without playing, due to worrying if my back would spasm, watched your videos, now I'm back playing 3 times a month, not scoring great, but really enjoying it, (still got my Wilson Di6). Canterbury is 3 hours away, you never know, maybe one day I will have that lesson I keep promising myself.
This is great advice, I hit a lot of fairway woods and hybrids but find my results to be very inconsistent. One thing I’ve definitely noticed is that I’m more consistent when I slow my swing speed down.
Thanks for sharing Jeremy very helpful
I have a chronic illness for topping my fairway woods and irons . My main issue was standing up and trying to hard to crush the ball . You had a video a few months ago about this same topic and it was suggested to try some foot powder . I also noticed i was choking down on the club handle a little I have learned to be calm and relax and swing naturally with proper follow trough ., I am not cured by any means but improving and hitting my clubs much much better . My average score in my league was anywhere from 115- 132 ...Just terrible . But taking many of your suggestions I have improved been scoring 92-99 . looking forward to this year league play and break into the 80's . Little steps
Thats amazing progress Larry, well done
You are awesome, lessons are so easy to understand and use....thanks
Jim Fox very kind Jim, thanks for taking the time to comment
Very good Danny! I do enjoy your teaching.
Peter
Great detail of explanation .Thank you👌
You are very welcome Pj
Going later to the range will work on that. Nice shout out to Fryer
Brian Rizza cool, good guy is Matt 😁
Nice one Dan, your bobble hat could be a golf aid as well,with that blue ball on top of your head .
Danny - talking about skiing and golf in relation to each other
Me - can't afford to go skiing because golf has me on the breadline 😃
They are too pricy sports
@@DanielMaude yeah, i think I should just suck at golf for now, skiing can wait 😆
Excellent (as always) Danny !!
Great mention about taking a practice swiing
Hope it helps Nicholas
Thanks Danny, a great lesson again!
My pleasure, hope it helps your golf game
Hi Danny. I watched a video of yours earlier this week that also concentrated on target rather than strike. When I played on Friday my irons were still a bit ropey but my driver strikes had improved dramatically. Hardly missed a fairway and a few VERY long ones. Why? Because suddenly I was getting through the ball into a finishing position and not getting stuck. I noticed it immediately. Many thanks!
Muy pleasure, keep practicing and you will get there 😁
I was topping my recovery wood, and hitting into the ground. Not anymore !! Cheers Danny.
Brilliant, well done Roy
Another excellent lesson Danny . I don’t get to practice as much as I like but whilst my scores haven’t fallen dramatically ( I keep doing stupid things on a few holes which kills my card) I hit more shots more cleanly and invariably have stopped losing about 4 balls a round and now rarely lose any. Your videos have helped that to happen. I need a load more practice and that’s key to real improvement ... but love your lessons and sensible stuff as you explain why you need to do what you should be doing.. keep it up..
Thank you Gordon, hope you are having a great weekend
Nice review tips Danny, TY
Thank you Craig, appreciate the comment
Great lesson as usual. I'm struggling with course management. I wondered whether you have considered producing a video where we follow you around a par 3, a par 4 and a par 5 hole, with you commentating on your thought process. Doing it alongside an "average" golfer and us watching you coaching them would be also helpful. Just a thought
Chris Earle yea great idea, I’m hoping to bring my dad out on the course with me this year...watch this space
Great idea! Come to Colorado, Danny. I volunteer to be the (below) average player to accompany you ⛳️
Totally agree guys, course management would improve a lot of rounds out there for sure.
I simply love your instructions, and hoping That you will take up the solving of early release/casting in the downswing 🙏
This video will really help develop the feel to cure this:ruclips.net/video/Mitboufq0Yw/видео.html
@@DanielMaude many thanks that’s my practice drill for Tuesday thanks again
Michael Andersen perfect...enjoy your practice
@@DanielMaude Sorry it didn’t work for me, still behind/topping and rising true impact, very frustrating when I just want to get nice crispy shots, but I guess it’s in my body/mind for so long Its really hard to cure 😭
Another good video Danny what is the approximate ball position, is it may be logo on the shirt?
This is excellent.
Nice illustration. My problem revealed. I was standing too close. 👍🏾
This works with me with my irons thanks.
Brilliant Craig, thanks for sharing
Thanks Danny !
Great instruction on hitting my 3 wood off the fairway
Hope it helps Nicholas
Excellent as always
Thanks for taking the time to comment John, have a great weekend
I am very frustrated. Thank you for all your videos, they are very helpful. My problem is that everyone tells me that I should glide along the grass when using a fairway wood but I do not know how to change my swing, or ball position, as apposed to striking with an iron.
Absolute legend!
Hope it helps J G
The key word from Danny is flow ... I was always (and still am) hestitating to use the fairway wood. But - with the help of Dannys tips and drills - I start to improve. As a senior the process of getting the ball up in the air is sometimes slow but is improving with the help of this video. Thamxs Danny!
As always nice tips ;) Better woods after this.
Really hope so Alessandro
Your teaching skills are great. Wet conditions have been our demise lately. Topping the ball or hitting it fat. Topping is probably to compensate for fat shots, which I think are because we sink into the wet ground. Any tips for this situation will be appreciated in a future video.
Well done. Here’s to your good health and prosperity.
And to yours Tom
Excellent!
Hope it helps Reginald
