I always go back to this video when I struggle with contact. I love how Danny's videos are easy to understand and more importantly they give you some simple drills to take to the range. Well done Danny!

After months of frustration hitting irons as a new player, and watching quite a few videos, this was the first one that clicked. Third ball at range practicing this technique was a 160yd 7 iron hit straight at the flag. And they kept coming. What a great feeling, thanks!

Without a doubt, the best golf instructions on the KZfaq. I have watched many instructors and your instructions are most precise and simple. Thank you so much.

I don't understand why people would thumbs down a free golf lesson. Thanks Danny, I love your videos. They are much appreciated!

This is golden....I'm going to watch this everyday until my brain and body can catch up.

Dear Danny, I’ve watched a lot of golf teaching videos on KZfaq, you’re absolutely the best one! Not only you give clear and easy to follow instructions, but also the way you talk, you make people love golf and want to practice straight away after watching your video!🌹👍

Danny, without a doubt your videos are outstanding. Several have helped me develop a swing, but this one helped me to correct a major mistake with one practice session. I was hitting behind so much I actually injured my hand. After working with what you showed in this video I saw significant Improvement. Not only was I making good contact with the ball, but I actually started to get the feel of moving my weight forward and ending on my front leg. Thank you, sir!

Danny, this is just the drill that I needed! I have struggled with leaving my weight back and flipping the club at impact. I can't wait to include this drill in my practice sessions. Thank you very much!

What a great video! I never tire of your amazing instruction and drills that really teach and refine the fundamentals of the golf swing!

Hi Danny, what a great video. It's so simple and clear when you explain the different steps of the swing. I am a 14 handicap player who still has problems with hitting the turf after the ball. I felt a bit depressed about it and fed up with the game. Thanks to you, I'm getting self-confidence again. I am looking forward to apply all this on the range. I'll let you know how it goes. Of course I've subscribed to your channel. Cheers from France.

I am 80 and Learning more with your few videos to strike the ball well than I have in 20 years. Getting to enjoy my game at last. looking forward for more lessons .Thank you

Always look forward your videos, simply explained and making sense.

A lot of great golf teachers online but I guess this probably was one of the best piece of information for me to get the swing right. So thanks for that and keep it up!

This has been my main problem for years. Thanks for making it so simple to understand. Cheers mate, I will let you know how I progress.

Your one of the best golf tutor. I’m a newbie and I never touched golf clubs before. Just after watch your videos and lessons. I manage to hit perfectly on my 1st attempt itself. Many of my friends are surprised and they don’t believe that I’ve learnt from your videos. Keep posting more videos. May god bless u always. Tq man!

I enjoy how you are able to make it so simple. Identify the problem, work backward through the solution and build on success. Thank you.

Finally, a golf instructors explanations and drills I can understand. Thanks Danny!

HI Danny. I started playing in the '70's when hand/grip position was nearly on the lead hip, and to sweep the ball away as we drive through. Modern appraoch is hand/grip is anything from 1" passed the belly button, to inside the lead thigh, more typically under the lead PEC/chest area, but we still sweep the ball away as the bottom point of the club swing ALWAYS remains after the ball, and striking the ball it is a bye product of the flowing swing. Your explanation of hittiing the destination point and weight transfer weight has proved invaluable. I'm now focussed on turning/rotating using my ABS/Obliques. Hands, arms hold and manoeuvre the golf club and are virtually tension free so are my shoulders since I'm using ABS throughout the WHOLE rotation/swing process. My lead hip is posted by the time I've struck the ball. my momentum and weight transfer continues and is at 90% at destination point & nearly 100% on my lead leg/hip when facing the target and swing is complete. Early days and load more reps needed, but it's a start. Thx

I used this drill and what a transformation . I put club in front of the ball in my set up drill with my weight forward then back to set up behind the ball and then go . Hit some great shots but most of all real consistency . Much greater distance as club face a little de lofted . Its so simple but very effective and I'm 69 years old !!!! Thanks Danny

Video after video you just keep getting it done, Danny. So informative and perfectly broken down. Keep em coming.

I had discovered you about a week ago and have already liked and have learned so much, since being out of the game for about 15 years, esp getting back to the basics. IMHO this is your most simple, yet crucial video. Thank you very much, Danny !

You are my go-to for sure. I take your lessons to the range and they have been helping me a lot. Keep them coming and thanks, Danny!

The fat shot has got to be the # 1universal exasperating part of golf! Thanks for sticking with us on this Danny. In my dreams I have thought of picking the ball off the turf perfectly like Jay Hass.

Best video lesson I've ever had! Not only has it helped me not to hit behind the ball, but has created the lag that I was unable to find. Thank you sir!

Just found your website and have found the three videos I have watched so far, most informative. I like the way you give reasons for your drills based on our golfing faults. Thanks.

As an engineer, you had me at "reverse engineer the process...." Danny, you have a great gift to explain the game!

What a wonderful piece of instruction. I was a teachefr for over 35 years and you can tell a GOOD teacher when you see and hear one. THANKS! M.G. (Qc., Canada)

Excellent video! You explained my problem to a tee. I tried your solution with a couple of short irons today at the range and and successfully accomplished getting my weight over to the left. I now have more work to do. But at least now , I have a positive lesson that will solve my problem. Your videos are very understandable and effective. Thank you Giacomo

You are the best instructor in a sea of KZfaq pros. Ur explanation of this crazy sport are second to none!

Hi Danny, can't stop telling you my progress in hitting the ball after watching your video tutorial. Excellent free tips. I would like to give you a treat when you are in Dubai anytime.

Thanks Danny, this training tip really helped with my iron striking.

Thanks Danny, I started watching your videos and I am really surprised how clear and simple you explain the things. A lot of times they tell you "you didn't keep an eye on the ball" and the real problem is you focused too much on keeping your eye on the ball you forgot to keep the body moving. As soon as this COVID19 thing passes, will head to the driving range and try the inverse method! Thanks Danny, cheers from Uruguay

I've been teaching golf for 28 years. This is the first video I have seen that completely explains not only "how to stop hitting the ground behind the golf ball" but how to build a great swing. On the down side, these instructions take a lot of practice and I mean a lot, but once you grasp the idea you are well on your way to a great swing.

Great video. Love the simplicity of instruction and the progression of drills

This is a great, practical approach to solving the early release problem. Thank you, I will incorporate this in my practice.

Danny, Your videos are really great. A big help in figuring out what needs to be done, and how, to fix different issues. Thank you.

This makes so much sense. I'm looking forward to trying this drill today. Thank you!

Another incredibly helpful and practical lesson, Danny. Thank you!

I'm a student of the game and I've experienced the efforts of many teachers. You do an excellent job at explaining cause, effect and how to correct the problem.

Danny you always seem to make the golf swing look so easy by your excellent teaching methods, I like watching the videos please keep them coming

Thanks - I needed this video. You explained the confidence issues perfectly.

Thanks for your excellent explanations in the videos. It is very helpful in understanding and hopefully correcting the problems.

Just had a lesson at my local course, I was one of those people hitting turf first, my coach spotted this and has told me more or less the same as your video, Great to watch you put it in practice, cheers will be watching you again.

Great explanation for the beginner and seasoned golfer. Thanks Danny.

Great instruction Danny, clear explanations and use of dissected swing motion examples, body and club positioning really illustrates completely, so extremely helpful. Watching correctly executed examples helps in my practice. Thank you

Loved this. Best ball striking drill I've seen.

J'adore vos vidéos. Ils sont clairs et m'aident à corriger mes "petits" défauts.😉🏌🏼‍♀️

Hi Danny , you explained my problem so well , and cannot wait to go and try your instructions out on the range ,thanks

This is one of the best video's I have watched on hitting the ball first and taking a Divot.

What can I say for years I have been an arm and snoulder swinger,I had no turn and did not know how to get it,but you showed me the way thank you,just takes time and practice now. Ken

Danny....very well explained! Best I’ve heard of how to do - and slow time. Thanks

Great explantion-----been trying so hard to hit the ball then turf------ JUST might have, after watching this video. Thanks, Bruce

Danny Thank you for an amazing Video same like so many of your subscriber I am struggling big time with my iron shots but the way you explain in your videos there is no need to ask any questions. I am very happy that I found your channel. Keep posting more and more videos. You are the best.

Shall be trying this tomorrow, looking forward to my results explained very well also. Keep up the videos 👌

Thanks for the info Danny,love the videos. Explained very simply and well! When u say push forward are u pushing off the right foot. I have been struggling for ages with my right heel coming up and my right knee buckling when I try to start the down swing from there. Thanks for the great videos

Get video Danny, have always struggled to hit behind the ball correctly, first round after watching this was the best i have ever struck the golf ball!! Thanks

Great job, many thanks. I appreciate what you are doing.

Thanks Danny your instructions are so helpful. I was so frustrated, that I didn't even feel worthy to be on a golf course. You zeroed in on the many secrets of this game . Your out of trap video was a gem as well. Your whole attitude gives me hope. I love this game and want to enjoy it. You have helped immensely. Thanks again

Really good and simple advice, I hit behind the ball and think it is because I sway to my left during back swing so this could possibly help me. Cheers again and keep up the great work.

Great practice tip - clear and simple. I like your spoken English which is understandable for me as foreigner. Keep on doing this job.

Great video! Super clear explanation as to common causes for hitting behind the ball. Love the breakdown of how to create muscle memory for for correct body movement all the way thru the strike and after. So true that a great strike is a by-product of a correct swing.

So true...I learned this over time... and was glad that Danny could confirm that I was correct in my analysis... when practicing this I use foam balls so I don't have to worry so much about the strike and more about the position and flow before taking real hits

Beautiful pedagogic demonstration. Thank you so much

Thanks for the tips. Exactly my problem. I will try and practice at the range.

Danny, thanks! I've been fighting this fat shot for months! I have the same problems Russel had. I was really discouraged, but I watched this just before heading out to practice. I hit some of the best iron shots I've hit in years... and A LOT of them. Looking forward to taking my mates' money tomorrow! Thank you again! Cheers!

This is my biggest issue as I have only been playing now for 1 year. One of the best instructional Video's Ive seen . Thanks Danny.

You’re a great teacher Danny.....cheers! Thank you!

Danny, good simple full explanation now to try it out on practice ground and then on the course Cheers R

Thank you very much! Now I understand why I suddenly hit the ball behind the ball!! i went from my normal 94 , 95 shots to 101 shots!! I will go out this morning and practice what you preached!! 🤗⛳️🏌🇿🇦💞

Great video Danny ! When I’m hitting bad at the range or course, I always try to remember we aren’t hitting the golf ball, we are swinging a club that happens to hit a golf ball through the swing

Great lesson, Danny! Thanks a lot for it!

Love this video thank you very much!

Thank you Danny for this video i went straight to it as was playing today and started fatting the ball will use this drill to get back on my game 👍

one of the best golf lesson for amateur golfers. love it

Brilliant. Finally something we can all understand and put in to practice. I think i might just be adding another 10% distance to my shots and about 75% more consistency. Thanks.

Great video Danny thx for the tips

Brilliant drill Daniel!!!! Thank you you help me solve my contact issue!!!!!

Danny, I've watched literally hundreds of instructional videos online, but this one in particular nailed it for me. Just got back from driving range having employed your drills and the difference is astounding. Your manner of explaining things just clicked right away and I couldn't be happier I stumbled on your videos. Keep up the great work!!

Wonderful Danny. I'm going to try this tomorrow. I have problem of pulling inwards as I do the same mistake what you are showing in this video

Thanks Danny this video was a big help for me improving my strike. You break it down in small digestible bites.

Hey Danny, I couldn't agree more with mick19421. I very recently picked up my clubs again after not playing for more than 2 years. I'm turning 69 in august and I was (am) a high handicaper when I stopped golfing (32,4). Played for a little over 3 years by then. So I was bitten by the bug very late in life. After watching many of your lessons on Y.T. it started itching again, because you make look so simple. I haven't been out on the course yet, but in my garden (golfing net) things are going much better than 2 years ago when I stopped. I think my big advantage now is that I could start all over again, so to speak, and do it right from the beginning. I have no trouble to unlearn a bad habit first, and I could start from scratch. I can't wait to go to the range/course to see if I been a good student :-) Thanks for contribution to this wonderful sport Regards from Holland, Eddy

I have learned a lot from your video. Will try practicing soon.

Danny I used a couple of your videos to stop hitting behind it thanks! Getting my swing back in shape. But can you maybe do a video showing why a player might block a shot to the right, seemingly with no obvious mistake in the swing? Not a slice but a shot on a basically straight flight but to the right of the target line?

Great instructional video! That is exactly was I was doing at the range this morning. can't wait to get back out there. Not discouraged anymore, but encouraged! Thank you sir!

Fantastic explanations. Thank you

This weekend I am going to binge watch all of your videos.

Danny you are very good.

awesome advice, I will try and do these things

You kinda nailed it here Danny - "getting out of one's head about striking the ball". This video, and the one that focuses on the right elbow mention the struggle for many of us aspiring golfers that tend to over focus on hitting the ball, and not on the flow of the swing. If only you were a psychologist and could come at us from that perspective! Any more suggestions for helping us to get out of our heads about contact? I think this is the primary issue for me (and many others), which causes my "over-the-top" result. I am losing faith in my game, but you keep giving me hope. Many thanks... I will work to apply your recommendations and pray for improvement.

I am surprised you made it very clear to me now. Thanks

makes perfect sense - thank you- will work on it.

best golf instructor of all time. monroe stokvis

Hi Danny, this is one of the best explanation videos I have ever seen. We have mats on our driving range. Can I still do the same steps on them as you are doing on the grass?

Another excellent video. Thank you. Would this impact position also work for the hybrids and 3 wood?

Cheers Danny will give this a go I always seem to hit turf before Ball.

I’ll give that a try. Sounds and looks like good advice.

That exactly addressed my problem. Thanks so much.

You nailed my problem. I was being completely too still and falling back behind the ball...thanks Danny.

Very good instruction! I keep reverting to my comfort zone, for vanity sake. Your method is top shelf! I know the difference in distance will be enormous, so i best get to the range!

Awesome video... Very easy to understand
