Keyword is "Game changer". I was fighting the same symptoms as Danny mentioned early in the video. Too much rotation, getting static in the swing and trying to control it. Result was lost compression especially in the mid to long irons and loss of distance with the driver. Key for me was higher hands and being more dynamic in the swing. Voila! Played a round in wet and cold conditions but the compression with irons was unreal. Tight draws 90% of the time without unnecessary manipulation. Thank you Danny! I needed this video to find joy in playing golf again.
I'm glad I watched this as I have experienced the same rotation/ static symptoms, especially with driver and woods. For three weeks, I've struggled thinking that I'm losing my swing. Not so now as I've got my tight baby draws back on target. Thanks for your comments on finding the cure. Being on the verge of golf burnout is no fun!
@@DanielMaudeHello Danny. Your videos are so spot on, easy to understand and put in a way to be able to apply it. This is a great video. It is very similar approach to Dr. Kwon who has videos on speed drills. Check it out if you haven't seen him yet.
You’re awesome! I so appreciate your enthusiasm and humility. One comment though. It looks to me when you were hitting your iron you violated the positioning that Pete had shown you? There was separation and space between your trail arm and body? Thanks for all that you do for us dedicated, passionate, but struggling amateurs.
Danny, I loved this lesson. So much solid information that should help this 75 year old golfer that keeps losing yardage every year. We are under frosty, no golf weather, for a few days and I am so anxious to get out and apply these tips to see if I can get that golf ball traveling further down the fairway. Keep up your excellent instruction, I appreciate these videos each and every week.
This is the most useful vid I have found on RUclips for my golf swing! Cheers Danny! 👍🏼 That "snap" that you're talking about with the driver, absolutely spot on!
The towel drill is a take-off from Dr. Kwon Golf - a professor at Texas Women's University. His drills with a rope build tremendous speed increases for his students. Great explanation Danny and demonstration.
Both Dr.Kwon and Erika Larkin learned it from Ernest Jones. But the key learning from Danny is that you don’t need to rotate on the downswing. You need to just direct your hands straight to the ball. Something that Mike Bender also advocates.
Mate this is brilliant. I love how your videos keep it simple and give a visual representation, but also are self explanatory on how it should “feel”, which often gets overlooked in these sorts of videos on RUclips.
It is very good. One question I had is about fitness. What kind of training helps you with this? I practice yoga which helps to some degree, but wondered if any physical training tips can supplement these drills?
Go long or go home! Woot! This was a very enjoyable video. You look like you had fun with your lesson and now you’re passing that fun along to us. Thank you!
After watching your long drive lesson I started really loading up on the back foot and yesterday hit a couple of huge drives. This concise video is brilliant because I'd forgotten about the high hands. Can't wait to put these three tips together. Thanks again Danny
Saw this drill on a few other channels, but you did a superb job explaining so I finally tried it and wow! You can feel the form, power and focus points throughout. I can’t wait to see the results on a course. Keep up the great and relatable content.
Great video Danny! I'm 46 and have bad knees and a hip, so I've lost TONS of flexibility. I've been using some of these same principles and have gone from 138 yards with my 7 iron to 152. I've gone from 210 yards with my driver to 238. I know that's not long by any means - but I'll take those gains!
It’s great that you are so open to adopting new approaches, when they are demonstrably beneficial. It must have been a brilliant “light bulb” moment when the recent experience, together with the Pete Cowan advice merged. I love the fact that I can work on one technique and apply it across the clubs, with just a simple change of shoulder angle. Top work Danny.
Fantastic practical summary of your session with James. I’ve already been working on this and I’m gaining at least 20 yards with my driver Danny. So 240 yards at age 72 = big smile! Thanks Danny and James.
Wow, Danny, you've got the excitement of a 12 year old back in your game. You can hardly form words. I so want this. I can't wait to try this out when our Canadian weather allows us back out there. What a treat to see you this over the top excited. Thank you.😊
One of your best lessons I've watched from you, Danny. And I've watched a lot. I'm working my way back into the game from injury, a perfect starting point for re-booting my swing.
I’ve been working on “spinning”the club down-what you and Pete profess. It’s been helping, but I think I’ve been turning too much and your comments and teachings here about vertical force and what should be primary in the swing, makes all the sense in the world. It’s 29° and snowing here so I’m working on this in my garage. Keeping vertical focus and using that towel drill is helping me get my left side out of the way without trying, and come in to the ball in a more powerful position downward. This focus is keeping me from coming over the top as well. Thanks, Danny!
It doesn't matter if you're a weekend high-handicapp hacker, or an excellent golfer and teacher like Danny Maude, when you discover something that makes you swing better, it just makes you happy. Great to see that look on your face Danny and thanks for passing on this lesson!
I love all your videos, but especially the last two about hitting it longer. I can't wait to try this one out. In my last 3 rounds since the last vid, I'm hitting my driver much more solidly and about 20 years further than before on a consistent basis. I can tell you're really excited about this tip based on how tongue-tied you were! 😂
Question for you…when doing the towel exercise your left arm is bent at the top to get towel over your shoulder, but in your actual swing it appears your left arm stays straight….so are you lifting your arms higher across your chest than before and still keeping left arm straight? Both videos are great…1st video indicated okay to bend left arm to get club higher.
Been following Danny for quite sometime. I got to a place where I struggled with golf and could not get myself out of the GOLF DARKNESS! I got myself back and enjoying golf again by taking Danny's lessons to the range and just focus on his advice and ignore all other noise ( mostly in my own head) as we all know we become our worst enemy by over thinking. You cannot go wrong with any lesson from Danny. My game is now better than ever. I will give this drill a try as I am also getting up in age (54) but I do hit a long ball for my age but more is better!! :) My favorite videos were Danny's lessons with his Dad. Just a few holes he had him fixed right up! Keep it up Danny..
Great vid. Ive been way too static. All arms and shoulders. When this was pointed out to me, as a big and strong 50 year old, it was a game changer. Ive had those lucky shots, where they've flown to a different postcode. Well, 2 actually. 😀 Great tips that will serve us all well. Cant hit it regularly as far as you, but its creeping up as I get more confident with the movements.
This video made a huge difference for me. I average 92-94 mph on my swing and 132mph ball speed with the driver. Doing this at my last session I hit 98-99 mph on my swing speed and topped out at 146 mph ball speed. Also went from a high fade/slice to hitting mostly draws. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up to try it on the course but this gave me a lot of confidence. Thanks Danny!
Ironically, the RUclips ad that popped up just as you were explaining the towel swing exercise swing was another golf pro with a towel swing exercise!! Love your channel and the enthusiasm you bring to teaching. Thanks!
This has been me. I got injured in September, couldn't go to the gym, played only once a week after a month off. I'm 66, became flat on the back swing, squatting too much. I will tape up a towel today and get to work. Brilliant tip here Danny. Love this about golf, we never stop learning. Thanks mate
Definitely can hear some more pop in your drives Danny. I always say we aren't old just experienced. At 40 plus, I am in better shape now than in my early 30s but was also recovering from multiple back surgeries back then.
Thank you for another valuable lesson. I am using the towel & trying to follow your advice. When the weather improves I will give it a go on the golf course. I hope to increase my distance .
Love your videos and drills… one thing I don’t understand is that when you are doing the towel drill, you have an exaggerated back swing and your leading arm elbow is bent - but when you swing with the club, your arm stays straight. Are you aware of this when you are swinging the towel… thank you !
This isn't training what your arms should do in that sense but more of a tempo and momentum manipulation with your lower body. That's what you're training.
Yes, the elbow should be straight. I’m just stating this based on my own experience after watching the video but I think the purpose of the towel drill is just to give you a feel how high your hands need to be. The towel gives you feedback on whether you’ve raised your arms high enough or not.
This video is exactly what I needed. It answered a bunch of questions I've had recently, and it answered them in a specific and fluff-free way. Your excitement in this video is contagious!! Thanks, Danny!
I watched your video with the long drive guy (forget his name) and did try this myself on a practice round, without much practice I gained 30 yards with driver and it almost felt effortless. 285 in 2 degrees with very little run because of the wet ground, I was buzzing when I left. I had the 348th moment of "I've cracked it" 😂
Wow! I cannot wait to try this out. Grabbing an old towel right now. Truly appreciate your lessons each week. Happy to see you enjoying yourself too. Cheers.
So now after all this time the swing is considered more up and down than around.. Thank you for the video and enthusiasm. Forever everyone has been saying around. Not up and down.
Great video Danny and have watched the long drive video a week ago. Have been working on the Earnest Jones method of swinging the clubhead for the last few months, which is essentialy point 3. Del a Torre then refined it to put the club over your right shoulder, then put the club over your left shoulder and let the ball get in the way. That creates the closest to vertical swing you can put a golf club onto a ball. Exactly what you are talking about Danny, not going around the body. I'm 64, off 19 and 3 weeks ago injured my lower back, not by playing golf. Today, nursed myself around the course using the Jones/Del a Torre method for 34 points with 4 blobs. 5 pars on the front 9. Most drives using this method, with a limited swing where around the 190 - 200 metre mark and on fairway. Trust it folks, it works.
Thanks Danny. Can you enlighten me as to why sometimes I hit a drive straight and long and other times it goes high up into the air and off to the left. I feel like giving up 😢
@@Summer97_ check the top of your driver. If you notice scratches the club head is approaching the ball from too steep an angle and to the left of target
Danny if you watched your video about arms going up, now yours are really up! Thanks for the great videos I am 60 years old and have been adding lots more distance with the arms go up video.
danny great explanation of motion in the swing.i needed that as i am a little robotic so afraid of swaying that i have not motion.keep up the good work.
Danny thanks so much for this video, I love it when you have an illuminating lesson with someone and then translate it into simple steps for us mere mortals! And it is wonderful to see how much joy you’ve gotten from these past two videos!
Danny, I saw the video with James last week and loved it. I love that you summarized, in this video, what James was telling you. Great distance improvements. I will definitely make myself a towel tube for the speed drill and check my drier setup. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Cheers.
I implemented the driver changes in the original video you posted during your lesson and instantly gained 30 yards. Very polished video follow up. Thank you Danny.
Great video and advice! I have the same issues you were describing in the video. Getting a bit older, coming back to the game and lost a bit of distance. Turning my shoulders first on the downswing. Can’t wait to try these drills and see the improvement. Thanks!
Danny, you’re seriously the best 👍 golf ⛳️ instructor on RUclips! I really appreciate your simple explanations of the golf swing through feel. Thanks 👏 from the Pacific 🌊 Northwest 🏔️ in the States 🇺🇸😁
I instinctively have a habit of what some might say "whacking" the ball on my down swing and I termed it aptly as a 'slap shot' heh....now seeing all that energy being directed at the perfect time on impact in a much more refined way in this video, I'm fairly confident if I can work the same into my game, it just might become my go-to shot every round! Much appreciated as always Danny! Have a great weekend...Cheers!
Danny as always brilliant….I watched the lesson you had and now this…it’s great to see that you’re excited about what you have achieved…have you taken this to the course yet?…how did you get on?…keep up the great work…
I’m new to golf and have been really struggling with “all arms” which my instructor has been helping me with. This drill connected all the dots for me! I’ve been focusing so much on turning that I haven’t been athletic at all which this really helps with. Thanks for the vid!
Danny, your excitement and passion for sharing what you've learned is infectious! I wonder how you teach has changed over the years through your own journey? Thank you for sharing. I'm well over 60 now and I can definitely relate to the loss of power AND the loss of freedom in my swing.
Perfect Danny. In your studio you can actually see the technique. It reminds me of my old baseball swing. I always loaded into my right/ left leg (switch hitter). My hands always were higher. Instead of level you snap dow. Also thank you for showing how you can apply to irons
Danny - This is one of my favorite videos . I am so impressed with your club head speed . It goes to show you don't have to be big in stature to hit it deep. Thanks for your great tips!
Love everything about this video. I could feel the difference as soon as I practiced this at home on my hitting mat. Great video and great enthusiasm. Makes me want to go to the range.
Danny, you are always an inspirational voice…and, I can tell that are really excited about this video. I can see how you have quickly modified and gained. Been watching you for many years now…glad you’re no longer filming out in the cold….good on you… You are a great teacher…stay calm and carry on!!
Your videos have helped me take about 8 strokes off my game in recent years. I'm enjoying the game much more, and hope to be a "once a week" golfer again soon. Thank you! @@DanielMaude
Nice one. I also recently learned that difference between spinning the hips (wrong mechanics) and rotating the hips. My mistake was translating firing the hips into spinning them.
Great Danny and thanks for doing this. You have the knack of clarity in your explanations. It’s also great to see you too still get the same buzz when your own personal weaknesses/frustrations start to be trained out of your game. Congratulations !
It must be so much fun to have a go at hitting the heck out of the ball and not be so bogged down about accuracy. I can't wait to give this a try!! Love the towel drill Danny. Thanks so much....
I haven't played since i had my clubs stolen, about fifteen years ago. Seeing your excitement and positivity, is so infectious, i want to try. I'm going to save up for a cheap driver, and some air balls, just to try this. Even if only to help my back maintain, and hopefully improve, its mobility. Thanks for sharing this.
Danny I took this information out to the course today. I picked up that extra fifteen yards I lost over the past few years; This is so easy with a little practice. Danny you are solid gold to the golfing masses.
Thanks for this drill Danny, I have just started putting this in practice and even though I have sprayed a few I am now starting to get longer distance , I have also watched the video with James
Hi Danny, it makes so much sense and even I as a 67 year old player am amazed by the simplicity. In my younger years my lenght was way longer and by getting older I lost control of speed, distance and also directions. Your video which I saw a couple of times now, did increase my confidence in striking the ball further and better. I like to maintain my single handicap for many years to come. Love to watch all the instructions you are giving.
Fantastic video. Thank you. Tried the towel bit and realised I need to work on flexibility... can't wait to try the process with a club. Thanks again for all the videos that you put out.
Phenomenal video! I started doing this and noticed a massive improvement in accuracy and consistency esp in my scoring irons. I ONE: never focus on getting to the TOP of my backswing and making that upward motion. Finding this motion allowed me to then create more downward motion rather than the swinging motion. I raise my lead heal but it also helps me when I almost step into that lead foot to transfer weight. Pairing this with your other video of saying “ one hundred and one” really smoothed me out.
Wow Danny, many thanks, what a fantastic video, your excitement and joy really shone through, not to mention your passion for helping us improve our golf. The towel drill is awesome and it's also great to see you advocating lifting the left heel which seemed all but dead and buried. Thanks again
Danny, last year wringing a tawel help me a lot with my driver, longer and straighter . This year would be snapping the towel. Thank you! You are the best! Frozen in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
OMG! This is amazing! I watched this video and then went out to my golf simulator to apply this lesson and increased my club head speed by 5mph instantly. I was also hitting my driver straighter. Thanks Danny! Your videos are awesome. Keep them coming.
I have watched both videos, and the first one is a good lead in for this one. This one really gives us the clear instruction to apply the lessons of the first.
Momentum Danny ... Momentum! Thank you for passing over your positive power and fun to the Golf World in another great video. "See you" next Saturday. Marc
Great lesson. Your passion is inspirational. I just purchased a set of clubs for my grandson who just turned 19. I will be sharing all these lessons with him and looking forward to some fun on the golf course. Meanwhile I'm convinced I can get close to 300 yds. You've a man DM.
@@DanielMaude Thank you Danny. I really appreciate that and the fact that you take the time to ‘make sense’ of why something works, or not. Cheers from Southern California. Btw… 118 mph swing speed is pretty ridiculous! Very cool! 🤙 Keep em coming!

Know what I love about Danny, he's such a great instructor yet still was open to learn how to hit farther. He's great and humble. Thank you, Danny.

Thanks Danny. Can you enlighten me as to why sometimes I hit a drive straight and long and other times it goes high up into the air and off to the left. I feel like giving up 😢
@@Summer97_ check the top of your driver. If you notice scratches the club head is approaching the ball from too steep an angle and to the left of target
Danny if you watched your video about arms going up, now yours are really up! Thanks for the great videos I am 60 years old and have been adding lots more distance with the arms go up video.
I know, I’ve been coaching others to do this and didn’t realise I wasn’t doing it myself 😂
Dr Kwon has been shouting about this for years like a jeovahs witness
😁
Brilliant. You can see how excited you are getting more distance on your drives. I hope to follow suit!
Thanks 😁
Untoll = Until
👍
danny great explanation of motion in the swing.i needed that as i am a little robotic so afraid of swaying that i have not motion.keep up the good work.
You can do it!
Danny thanks so much for this video, I love it when you have an illuminating lesson with someone and then translate it into simple steps for us mere mortals! And it is wonderful to see how much joy you’ve gotten from these past two videos!
It’s been awesome to get back to having some flow to my swing. It’s what I teach everyone to do and forgot to do it myself
Danny, I saw the video with James last week and loved it. I love that you summarized, in this video, what James was telling you. Great distance improvements. I will definitely make myself a towel tube for the speed drill and check my drier setup. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Cheers.
You are very welcome, it’s fun hitting a ball hard
I implemented the driver changes in the original video you posted during your lesson and instantly gained 30 yards. Very polished video follow up. Thank you Danny.
Super kind thank you
Great video and advice! I have the same issues you were describing in the video. Getting a bit older, coming back to the game and lost a bit of distance. Turning my shoulders first on the downswing. Can’t wait to try these drills and see the improvement. Thanks!
Love to hear how you get on
I’ll let you know. Thanks!
Danny, you’re seriously the best 👍 golf ⛳️ instructor on RUclips! I really appreciate your simple explanations of the golf swing through feel. Thanks 👏 from the Pacific 🌊 Northwest 🏔️ in the States 🇺🇸😁
Super kind thank you
I instinctively have a habit of what some might say "whacking" the ball on my down swing and I termed it aptly as a 'slap shot' heh....now seeing all that energy being directed at the perfect time on impact in a much more refined way in this video, I'm fairly confident if I can work the same into my game, it just might become my go-to shot every round! Much appreciated as always Danny! Have a great weekend...Cheers!
Thank you!
Danny as always brilliant….I watched the lesson you had and now this…it’s great to see that you’re excited about what you have achieved…have you taken this to the course yet?…how did you get on?…keep up the great work…
I’m new to golf and have been really struggling with “all arms” which my instructor has been helping me with. This drill connected all the dots for me! I’ve been focusing so much on turning that I haven’t been athletic at all which this really helps with. Thanks for the vid!
Danny, your excitement and passion for sharing what you've learned is infectious! I wonder how you teach has changed over the years through your own journey?
Thank you for sharing. I'm well over 60 now and I can definitely relate to the loss of power AND the loss of freedom in my swing.
I think as we mature we all continue to learn
Perfect Danny. In your studio you can actually see the technique. It reminds me of my old baseball swing. I always loaded into my right/ left leg (switch hitter). My hands always were higher. Instead of level you snap dow. Also thank you for showing how you can apply to irons
Thanks Gregg happy to help 👍
Danny - This is one of my favorite videos . I am so impressed with your club head speed . It goes to show you don't have to be big in stature to hit it deep. Thanks for your great tips!
You are the best teacher I have ever seen...great communication to all levels of players.
That’s really kind Lance thank you
This video really spoke to me. I live in cold N region, but will try this at the Top Golf near me as soon as I can. Thank you so much for the video!
Love to hear how you get on
Love everything about this video. I could feel the difference as soon as I practiced this at home on my hitting mat. Great video and great enthusiasm. Makes me want to go to the range.
Thanks Russ! Happy to help 😁
Danny, you are always an inspirational voice…and, I can tell that are really excited about this video. I can see how you have quickly modified and gained. Been watching you for many years now…glad you’re no longer filming out in the cold….good on you… You are a great teacher…stay calm and carry on!!
Thank you! Appreciate the support 😁
Happy, high energy Danny to the point of stumbling over words and being out of breath is the best Danny.
It’s so much fun giving it a bit of a smash
Your videos have helped me take about 8 strokes off my game in recent years. I'm enjoying the game much more, and hope to be a "once a week" golfer again soon. Thank you! @@DanielMaude
Danny best video I’ve seen in fixing my right shoulder coming across in the swing plane!!! Instant results with the bath towel drill…..Thank you
Thanks Buddy 😁
Nice one. I also recently learned that difference between spinning the hips (wrong mechanics) and rotating the hips. My mistake was translating firing the hips into spinning them.
Thank you and well done 👍
Outstanding lesson, perhaps the most instructive i've seen on taking driver to the next level. Thank you!!
Wow, thanks!
Great video, Danny! You have helped me, a 77 year old golfer, hit the driver better! Thank you so much!
So happy to hear that
Great Danny and thanks for doing this. You have the knack of clarity in your explanations.
It’s also great to see you too still get the same buzz when your own personal weaknesses/frustrations start to be trained out of your game. Congratulations !
Thank you Craig!
It must be so much fun to have a go at hitting the heck out of the ball and not be so bogged down about accuracy. I can't wait to give this a try!! Love the towel drill Danny. Thanks so much....
Thank you 😁
I haven't played since i had my clubs stolen, about fifteen years ago.
Seeing your excitement and positivity, is so infectious, i want to try.
I'm going to save up for a cheap driver, and some air balls, just to try this. Even if only to help my back maintain, and hopefully improve, its mobility.
Thanks for sharing this.
Love to hear this, made my day
Danny I took this information out to the course today. I picked up that extra fifteen yards I lost over the past few years; This is so easy with a little practice. Danny you are solid gold to the golfing masses.
That is awesome well done
All I can say is Wow. I also saw your video with the Long Driver golfer. You learn fast Danny.
This was super fun
Nice job Danny. Sharing all these videos with my son. He and I are starting to golf together this year. Thanks again. Peace.
That’s lovely
Thanks for this drill Danny, I have just started putting this in practice and even though I have sprayed a few I am now starting to get longer distance , I have also watched the video with James
Happy to help 😁
Great video. Definitely going to give this a go , as a senior golfer this seems perfect for me . Keep the great content coming Danny.
Thank you David let me know how you get on!
Hi Danny, it makes so much sense and even I as a 67 year old player am amazed by the simplicity. In my younger years my lenght was way longer and by getting older I lost control of speed, distance and also directions. Your video which I saw a couple of times now, did increase my confidence in striking the ball further and better. I like to maintain my single handicap for many years to come. Love to watch all the instructions you are giving.
Thanks Danny just watched it yesterday and realised I was doing what you said. Changed a couple of the tips and game has improved cheers
Amazing to hear Nick
Best coaching video I’ve watched in years. Can’t wait to get to the range to try this out 🙌🏼
Love to hear how you get on Owen
The most exciting development I've seen in a long time. There's hope for shorter hitters like me. Thanks Danny!
You can do it Ted
Fantastic video. Thank you. Tried the towel bit and realised I need to work on flexibility... can't wait to try the process with a club. Thanks again for all the videos that you put out.
Thank you 😁
Phenomenal video! I started doing this and noticed a massive improvement in accuracy and consistency esp in my scoring irons. I ONE: never focus on getting to the TOP of my backswing and making that upward motion. Finding this motion allowed me to then create more downward motion rather than the swinging motion. I raise my lead heal but it also helps me when I almost step into that lead foot to transfer weight. Pairing this with your other video of saying “ one hundred and one” really smoothed me out.
Thanks Danny.
You have by far the best content for the average player on RUclips..👌
Cheers,
Mark from 🇦🇺
Super kind Mark thank you
Another great video. I have been way too static. Just hit some great shots using these techniques. Thanks Danny
Wow, you're such a bundle of joy and energy! And great stuff also, of course. Very well done, Danny!
@hans-christiphermetz-hj1gg thank you so much 😊 Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Really pleased you folowed up last weeks tutorial with this video.
Hope it helps Colin
Wow Danny, many thanks, what a fantastic video, your excitement and joy really shone through, not to mention your passion for helping us improve our golf. The towel drill is awesome and it's also great to see you advocating lifting the left heel which seemed all but dead and buried. Thanks again
Thank you Antony! Appreciate the support 😁
Love the enthusiasm, it's like you fell in love with golf all over again. Thanks!
Thank you Bob!
Can't for the weather to warm up and take this to the range and course. Great lesson, love the other video from LA as well, Thanks Danny
Glad you enjoyed it Peter
I can tell that this a good one Danny. You are so excited and enthusiastic about it, that you can't wait to share it with us. Thank you!
Thank you Charles 😁
Danny, last year wringing a tawel help me a lot with my driver, longer and straighter . This year would be snapping the towel. Thank you! You are the best! Frozen in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
Thank you Simon!
❤I LOVE that you took a lesson!! And brought it back to share with us in your way.🎉
Thank you Kathieah 😁 appreciate the support!
You are the best instructor in the net by far. Making the tips understandable Excellent work.
I am still a short hitter. I somehow doubt that the average amateur golfer will improve distance significantly with these tips.
Great drill. I tried the feet together drill. Made a lot better contact. Thanks a bunch
@garyfarmer5855 your feedback and support really means a lot. Thank you 🙏🏻
OMG! This is amazing! I watched this video and then went out to my golf simulator to apply this lesson and increased my club head speed by 5mph instantly. I was also hitting my driver straighter. Thanks Danny! Your videos are awesome. Keep them coming.
That’s awesome Mike well done
I have watched both videos, and the first one is a good lead in for this one. This one really gives us the clear instruction to apply the lessons of the first.
Thank you Gary!
Momentum Danny ... Momentum! Thank you for passing over your positive power and fun to the Golf World in another great video. "See you" next Saturday. Marc
All the best Marc
Have a great weekend @@DanielMaude
@@marcthomas2333thank you
Great lesson. Your passion is inspirational. I just purchased a set of clubs for my grandson who just turned 19. I will be sharing all these lessons with him and looking forward to some fun on the golf course. Meanwhile I'm convinced I can get close to 300 yds. You've a man DM.
Thank you Mike!
A very excited Danny, I had to put the playback speed on three- quarters to follow. Great to see.
Happy to help Geoffrey
Thank you Danny.
Is there anyway you can show the new swing in slow motion?
Love the new results 👏
💯 will add some slow motion golf swing in up and coming videos
@@DanielMaude Thank you Danny.
I really appreciate that and the fact that you take the time to ‘make sense’ of why something works, or not.
Cheers from Southern California.
Btw… 118 mph swing speed is pretty ridiculous!
Very cool! 🤙
Keep em coming!
