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 how to strike your irons and and how to strike your fairway woods off the ground if you struggle to make consistent contact don’t worry you’re not alone in fact I’ve just had a lot of golfers this week and probably about 90% of them were really struggling to strike make consistent contact off
The ground and the usual thing they were trying to keep their handle forward trying get their weight forward but none of it was really working because all of it was very unnatural in this golf video
I’m going to show you an effortless golf swing an easy golf swing that will help you make consistent contact time and time again with every single Club you have in your golf bag I’m super excited
To share that with you before I do though look if you’re new to the channel your first golf videos of mine please consider subscribing I release golf videos just like this every single week to try and help you improve your game plus you never have to remember a thing I’ll always put
A downloadable practice guide in the description box below so let’s give you a very simple process to achieve a great strike with every Club off the ground so your golf swing starts with some simple understanding the first step is to realise that great ball striking happens when you hit the ball
Then the turf with your irons this is achieved by learning to create a natural downward angle of attack so if I put an alignment stick here just opposite inside my trail foot and I get myself set here my golf swing should comfortably miss that alignment stick on the way down and strike this
Ball however when I get people even with just a club and a half gap between that alignment stick here what the average golfer would come down here and they would hit the ground roughly where the ball is and likely clatter into the cane as they’re doing it okay this is what we’ve got
To stop this is where the inconsistencies lie so I’m going to show you naturally how you can strike the ball then the turf with your golf swing it starts with a great golf swing setup so what I’d
Love you to do now if you can is maybe just pause the video take a moment get yourself set up and grab two balls so take your normal setup here once you set up and I feel comfortable what I want you
To do now is this take a ball and simply hold it in the middle of your sternum now from here very calmly just drop it where did my ball actually hit the ground right over the top of the golf
Ball why is that important well if my sternum is over the top of the ball when I make a pivot from here I’m pivoting over the ball I’m increasing my likelihood that I’m going to strike the ball than
The ground what I saw with many of my students this week when they dropped the ball here they were back here and the ball was dropping way too far behind they’re already in a position to hit
Where up on the ball and ground that club Behind the golf ball so simple simple thing that anyone can do okay the second thing that can really help just at setup is this get yourself set here and
We don’t want to strike the ball like this we want to strike it with a slight lean of the shaft only slight okay opposite inside lead leg so why not just start there if you put the club
There put it on the inside lead leg simply start in a place where you sternum of the ball and the lead handle on the inside thigh and you’re already in a place look to strike that ball great setup is
Your foundation this is Step number one so step number two and I promised you an effortless way to achieve great ball striking so don’t fall for this real misinterpretation too many golfers are trying so hard to improve the quality of the strike and it should be effortless so let me
Explain so this golf CP if you want to hit the ball long as well you want ultimately clever speed and you want this to be effortless so look at this here my club now is Swinging with complete
Momentum okay I am not trying to hold an angle I’m not trying to push my hands ahead I’m simply swinging the club with momentum now what gets the handle natur naturally at the correct place
Is simply The Way You Move Your Body okay at no stage and I’m hanging onto this club and trying to hold the angle it ruins your speed robs you at all the speed and ruins your strike so I want
This club to swing as freely as possible let me just show you an example so when I’m swinging here if I don’t move my body correctly you can see here look the club will flick and the club
Head very quickly will pass the butt end and that’s your flicky horrible strike but if I Mo my body correctly I will naturally create lag and a perfect strip without even trying there’s no effort for me to hold that angle there it’s happening beautifully naturally now let me show
You how you do that but obviously under controlled manner you don’t want this kind of flicky Club all over the place that’s also weak so get yourself set up and we said look I want you to get this
Club Swinging with some momentum now if I just did this with my wrists it would look very risty like this we don’t want that so what I’m doing now is just to look give you that lovely controlled
Look effortless look you see with the best play all I’m doing here is is I’m moving my rib cage basically around and back all I’m doing is as I move my rib cage around and back it looks like I’m
Controlling this club I am but the club is still swinging look effortlessly on the way through I’m going to do the opposite I’m going to use my rib citch and I’m going to unwind it this way
And as I come through look at this it looks like I might be holding the angle but I’m not the club is swinging beautifully freely and those angles are held naturally so I’ve still got the club head speed super important so start really small with this initially just to get the feeling get
Yourself set up here and all I’m going to do here is really soften my arms off really feel like that rib cage is moving around and back and we’re going to play a few small shots here and enjoy the rib
Cage basically controlling look the entire motion now the one big common fault when I gave this to a couple of the guys was they felt as though sometimes they were they were moving the club with momentum but the problem is what they were doing is they were just doing it with their hands
And their arms and their shoulders why I love the rib kid as a guide with this is when you move your rib cage you’re kind of moving the shoulders as well so it’s just a great way to kind of direct
And guide the momentum of this golf club if you don’t move your rib kage you can start to throw the weight around and then you’ve really lost control of the club completely so the rib cage
Is a great guide one of them asked me well Dan bit when do you naturally bend the wrist well if you look at this here look when I swing the club with momentum all of that happens naturally so what we
Call is passive wrist you don’t force them to to bend so as I simply work on that rib cage working backwards and forwards I’m now creating momentum in that Golf Club okay but there’s one thing that stop still would stop you striking that ball than the ground even with this so
You’ve got momentum you’ve got set up you’ve got momentum but you really need step three to kind of finish the job off and pure those strikes so step number three and none of the first two steps will work unless you answer these first two questions correctly okay so first question
Is this when you’re over the golf ball what is your target what is your target now most of my students said well Dan of course it’s just out there straight down the middle of fairy or the
Middle of the green I said great so then and answer me this next question you’re over the golf ball here you get to the top of the back swing here and you’re coming down what’s your
Target every single one of them said something like the ball Danny or a few of them said look I’ve been trying to hit ahead of the golf ball so I’m focusing on hitting ahead of the golf ball all
Of those things will completely and utterly ruin what you do why because here’s the thing your job is to direct the momentum of your golf swing in this this club right so when your target starts
To become too much down here down where the golf ball is here this is what happens look at this if I start to let this club swing up with momentum and my body starts to stop because somewhere in this vicinity becomes my intention my focal point suddenly the club will automatically look without
Me trying release but as soon as I connect to my Target and I maintain some form of intention out there watch the difference now you get the perfect movement forward you get body rotation forward why because the target is drawing out your mechanics it draws out your mechanics when your intentions
Down here which C creates the flick and it will draw out great mechanics if your intention is to go in this direction so how can you train this so this is the simplest exercise I know to achieve
This okay now I’m going to with your right-handed playing golf left-handed or vice versa will cover you both hands right so when you’re playing we said look we want to have some momentum you start to create that now by controlling it with the rib cage now what I want you to do is
Real realize this there are two Targets in golf that Target and this target how do you merge the two together well if we just threw a ball out here forward your body without even thinking if we do an underarm throw your body naturally wouldn’t do this it would naturally flow through this forward
Momentum of the body creates beautiful angles and beautiful compression on your strike but it’s not quite an underarm throwing golf we want to hit down here so what here’s what I want to do grab
A ball and I’ve got my pal facing the ground I’m going to now do two things I’m going to bounce the golf ball right there just ahead of this this ball here but I want that bounce to then bounce and go
Over the basket in front of us so it’s going to look something like this like that now what I love about this is this I’ve got a down pressure going there but I’ve all got the intention of not just
Bouncing it there but also flying it directly over this basket now you could do that also if you’re left-handed playing golf right-handed just hold it in the back of your hand here slightly tricky for me I’m not being left-handed but I’m going to imagine throwing the ball down here I’m not
Left-handed let’s try that one again good for good practice though so I’m going to throw it back at my hand here bang okay and I want to try I would try and get that lined up here to throw
Directly over that basket here brilliant exercise because what it does now is this it brings in two Targets our Target is not the golf ball right our Target is out there but we need to have an eye on
This one so what I’m going to now is this I’ve got my momentum swinging here right now all I’m going to do is Imagine in a sense tossing that ball look or in this case the club down there
While simultaneously going towards my target so look at this it looks like this if I throwing one-handed like this one two yeah can does that make sense great exercises to really get momentum going forward but also letting the club come down so you get a beautiful compression and again we
Start small with this so I’m just picturing my tag out there I’m going to throw the club down while simultaneously moving through and just rip that one straight down the middle of that Fairway so three steps get yourself set up first of all feel some momentum Don’t Force these angles you don’t
Need to that just ruins the effortless look in your goal swing feel the momentum of the club then look connect that momentum not to just stay down here this will just lead to that flicky impact
Position to keep that handle ahead we’re going to connect this to this so I’m throwing the club down while simultaneously throwing it bouncing it on the ground and towards my target I start really small with this with all my students one Ripper simple as that three steps that will lead you to
A much more effortless flowing motion start small get the strike then gradually Build It Up hope you enjoyed the video if you did give it a thumbs up maybe share it with one of your friends and if you
Want to keep advancing this strike maybe moving on to things like your Fairway Woods check this video out right here if you want to see a live lesson of me giving this kind of momentum check Adam’s lesson out right here it’s an absolute belter but until next week have a wonderful golfing week
