The Ridiculous Reason Why 90% of Golfers Can’t Strike Their Irons & hybrids

This is why you struggle to strike your irons pure and make solid contact 👇

1. Your sternum is not positioned correctly at address
2. Your forearms are not in line at set up – BIG ONE
3. Your posture is misaligned at set up
4. You don’t transfer your weight naturally in the golf swing
5. and one cool little trick that makes your golf swing effortless

What’s great is if you have any one of these faults in your golf swing they are really easy to fix and can make an instant impact on the quality of your ball striking not just with your irons but with your driver too.

For example if you want to hit your driver straight just getting the forearms aligned at address will be a real eye opener for you.

ABOUT DANNY

Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!

I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.

On YouTube and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.

Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble

I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.

I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.

We look at 3 things:

1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver

and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing

So I’ve just come back from the US where I spent 
a week coaching at the Johnny O seaside summit. Brilliant event with some wonderful people. And 
during the event I gave a number of golf lessons on the short game, how to strike your irons and 
how to hit driver straight. And what was really interesting is is many of them were falling for 
a misconception. I want to make sure you’re not doing the same. They’ve been told to hit down 
on the ball with their irons and their and their short game. They’d also been told to make 
sure they take a divot after the golf ball. Now, that’s all great, but how they were doing it was 
completely and utterly incorrect. And I see this so many times, completely misinterpreted. In this 
golf lesson, what I want to do is I want to share with you what I did with them to improve their 
short game, their iron shots, and their driver. And all it was one was a change just a change in 
concept that provided them with this effortless rhythm which allowed them very naturally to 
strike down on every shot. So they struck it perfectly but they also whereas they struck down 
on it generated effortless power and that’s super super important. No point just striking a ball 
and it going nowhere. This is what I want to cover in today’s lesson. Before I do though look 
if you’re new to the channel your first lesson of mine please consider subscribing. I release golf 
videos just like this one every single week to try and help you improve your game. Plus, you never 
have to remember a thing. Everything we do here, I’ll put into a free download practice guide in 
the description box below. So, I think by the end of this lesson, you’re going to have something 
that you can kind of work into every part of your game, whether that be your short game, your 
iron play, your fairway woods, or your driver. Um, and let’s start with the misconception that I’m 
seeing over and over again. This is what’s ruining so many golfers, and and I don’t know if you’ve 
been the same. So, a lot of times when we start to struggle to strike a golf ball, we’ve been told we 
want to strike the ball first and then the ground, uh, we’ve also been told to hit down on the 
golf ball. What do you think that would do to your action if you’re trying to hit the ball 
and trying to hit down on the golf ball? Well, this is what I’m seeing a lot. When people are 
trying to hit down on it, they start to look down. They’re starting to stay down. When they 
start hitting into the ground, start fatting it, then start pulling away. They even start to flick 
the wrists. What they don’t do is what I see with all top players. Great players get to here and 
they’re actually the club’s getting thrown, but they’re actually moving away from the ground. 
They’re actually, in a sense, moving away from the ground through impact. So, they’re actually 
working up and around. They’re not working down, which is what I see with most players, which 
gives them two things. It doesn’t just help them strike it more consistently, but notice 
this. When I start to work away from the ground, can you see how the club gets catapulted with 
speed? Whereas when I’m going towards the ground, I now struggle. There isn’t this kind of throw, 
right? And this is how they get effortless power. So, how can you go about feeling? This is really 
important. This is what I gave to the guys. You have to learn to feel this in every part of your 
game. Let’s just start initially just with with the irons and show you what the best players are 
doing. When they swing back here, when they come down, it’s important to understand this. The hands 
here, when they’re opposite the right leg on the way down, this is where the hands are at their 
lowest point. But if I look here, look at how far that is away from the golf ball. Right now, 
from here, what they’re going to do, these hands now are going to work upwards and around. They 
actually work up. And it’s the working upwards that then throws the club downwards, right? 
So, how do the hands work upwards? Well, when they’re coming here, the shoulder, the pivot 
of the body is all working up and around this way to throw the club, right? So, there’s ultimately 
the complete opposite pattern. The best players are working upwards through the impact area. The 
worst player is in terms of consistency of ball striking, they’re still very much down on the golf 
ball. They’ve even often you may have heard the advice you hit a bad shot, you’ve lifted your head 
up, stay down on it. All these things are ruining actually your ball striking. So, let me give you 
uh two or three different drills. Now, each one of these drills I gave to uh one of the players out 
there, and they’re all different because everyone responds differently. They’re only going to take 
you a minute or two a day to practice to learn the feel of this, but I promise you they will 
help with every part of your game. I think the best place to probably start to learn the feel 
of this is the short game. We’ll start with some basic chip and pit shots and then we’ll work up to 
iron play because again absolute culprit with the short game is people trying to hit down on it. The 
legs start to get buckled. Everything’s working downwards and they’re just you’ve got you’re dead 
from there. The best chippers, they have a rhythm and a pattern and it tends to look something like 
this. They’ll tend to work slightly down on the on the on the back swing and then on the way through, 
look, watch this. I’m actually working upwards. And you might, well, how do you hit down on a golf 
ball if you’re coming upwards? It’s simply down to where you position. So, as long as you’ve got your 
position of your body back in in front of the golf ball here, I as I work upwards, I’m naturally 
going to hit down the golf ball, right? I’m not trying to force my handle forward or anything like 
that. But if I’m back here and I try and do that, yes, I’ll I’ll top it. I’ll fat it. You name it. 
But I’m going to show you something. I’m going to hit a shot here. Naturally, to start with, what 
I’m going to show you is in two um single arms, get myself set handles leaning forward, ball 
back in my stance. And all I’m going to do, look, is I’m going to move the club back with 
my left shoulder. Left shoulder is going to work downwards. And then on the way through, look, 
all I’m going to do is I’m going to work the left shoulder upwards. And I’m going to allow my body 
to stand up and pivot into the follow through. There’s going to be no attempt for me to try 
and keep that handle down, force the a downward strike. I’m actually going to work upwards 
through the impact area, left shoulder down, and left shoulder up. Watch what happens. Watch my 
angle of attack here. 5.8 is my angle of attack. 3.6 my low point after the golf ball. So, I have 
no there’s no attempt for me there to strike after the golf ball. But I’ve naturally done it simply 
because of my setup where my body’s positioned and because my body’s in a great position. I 
don’t have to try and hit down on it now. It’s going to naturally happen. All I’m going to do 
is work my body up through the impact area. So, my left shoulder goes down. Left shoulder goes 
up. Hey, Presto. We’re going to have a downward angle attack of 8.4 degrees down with a low point 
of 6.8 in after the golf ball. Massive, right? This is the first part of feeling this. You do 
it with short game, right? Take your trail hand, do the same thing. Right? So, what we’re going to 
do now is this. We don’t use the arms to do this. We use the shoulder. From here, I’m going to again 
lean my shaft forward. Get my weight slightly further forward. I’m going to feel I’m going to 
work down the back swing. My shoulder brings the club back. I’m going to keep my shoulder working 
through. I’m going to work upwards through the impact area. Watch this. One, two. Working up. 
Watch what happens now. The angle attack 3.6 down. Not quite as much with my right hand. Kind of 
normal because it’s on this side of my body. But let’s even go a bit steeper on this. Right. So, 
how do I get how do I get a bit steeper? Again, just lean a bit further forward. Right shoulder 
up here and away we go. Right shoulder up and through. Right. So that’s a lovely sound. Five 
uh um uh angle of attack down 3.7 instead of the golf ball. Now we join those hands together and 
we’re starting to move now towards closer to full swing mechanics. So just to feel this right. So 
you start with your shot again. You build it up. So right shoulder up, left shoulder up. And I’m 
simply look work look at this. I am now working from here. Look upwards through the shot. I am not 
continuing to work downwards. You can see here, watch my trail leg. This leg here actually 
starts to straighten. It doesn’t buckle into the position here. So, look at this here. Right 
shoulder down and through. So, let’s start. So, you practice that. I promise you, you will start 
you’ll start to feel the rhythm of this. Yeah. And it is just you it’s like a a pattern of movement. 
Look. down, up, down, up. And you just find that rhythm all the time. I’m working up through the 
impact area here now. How do you apply that with your irions? Similar kind of thing. Right now, 
I’ll give you a couple of drills with irons. The first drill to learn the feel of this. And it 
look drills are going to give you the feel. I can’t tell you what to feel. So, follow these 
drills and you’ll get what I’m talking about. So, when I’m here, look, what I’m going to do 
is I’m going to get my ball positioned about club inside my lead heel. I’m going to position my 
pelvis here. This is very important. Over my lead heel. So, it’s a drill. Why do I have my pelvis 
here? Because all the best players to strike it, make sure the pelvis is forward. This is what’s 
going to help you strike down on the golf ball. Most poor players are back here. Pelvis is over 
the heel. My head is in the middle of my stance. Okay. Now, all I’m going to do here now is this. 
Just do a small swing here. I’m going to keep my trail knee almost pointing forward. I’m not going 
to let it buckle in or anything. Now, from here, what I do is I simply look work my body up and 
around. Notice this. I’m not working it down. I am working it from here. Look up and around. 
Now, all this is a great feeling because now suddenly you’re going to start to get the feeling 
of your swing now working up through impact. that allows the club to naturally fall down on the golf 
ball whilst at the same time accelerating through impact. So you start to learn the sensation 
of power. Let’s look at this in action. You can see here I’m simply from there look 
working up through that impact area. Look at my low point here. 4.5 in after the golf ball. So 
despite me moving upwards through impact the club naturally comes down because of the position I put 
my body in. learn the feel of this. Right now, one thing you can do at home, got a couple of things, 
grab an alignment stick. Again, more feelings that to kind of generate this. Some of these drills 
are going to connect to you somewhere. Look at here. Look from here. Bend that alignment stick on 
the floor. It’s like striking a match. From here, my hands are at the lowest point. What I’m going 
to do now is with my body pivot, I am going to look with my lead shoulder here. Look, and my 
body, I’m going to move my my left shoulder up and around here. And where am I finishing here? My 
legs, everything is extending upwards. So I’m down in the ground here. I’m low with my hands here. 
I’m working upwards. Yeah. Develop this sensation, not the downward motion. You’re starting to 
develop. You just start to feel this kind of catapult motion. And then we’re going to link now 
finally the rhythmical element of this which you can start to transfer to a golf course. Again, 
all the stuff you can be done in the garden. And we can link this to what we did with the short 
game. Take your left hand only. I’m right-handed, by the way. Right. The left hand only. Get 
the left shoulder working the club away. Now, when people do with the left hand, everybody 
I coaches to initially does this. They just use their arm. Doesn’t kind of work like that. But 
what I want you to do is look at my left shoulder. Left shoulder’s working down here. Right now, from 
here, what am I going to do? Get myself here. And then what happens? I work my left shoulder up 
and around. Down, up and around. Not down. Up. Down here. Up and around. I’m kind of getting 
that sensation of the rhythm of this motion. This would be too early, wouldn’t it? Throwing 
it from the top. No, I’m coming down and up. Down here opposite my right leg. And then I’m firing 
it upwards. I’m really getting that sensation of this club firing down. It’s a rhythm that we want 
to start to create. And that is why I started it initially just with your short game. If you can 
start hitting some short shots and you could go on a golf course, you think, you know what, I’m 
going to put this into play, Danny, but I’m going to start initially. Can I feel this first of all 
with pitches? Forget about iron play. Forget about driving. Can I actually get myself set up here in 
position? And can I create a movement where I feel like I’m going down with my left shoulder on the 
way back and then I’m standing up and I’m pivoting look through here. So I’m finishing what feels 
like much much taller through the shot. And every time I finish taller, I’m moving that club still 
down on the golf ball. Look here comfortably, but I’m controlling that pattern, that rhythm. 
It’s so different to the pattern what I see with a lot of golfers, which is a a heave and a 
heave downwards. If you can get this pattern in your golf swing in a really subtle way, starting 
with a short game, then gradually building it up, you’ll just feel effortless. And it’s what 
you see with the best players when they look make this golf swing look easy. So, I hope you
