Any questions don't be shy leave them in the comments box below 😁

Love the collaboration with Chris. We all want to play better. !!

The killer of any thesis is plagiarism. Taking credit for another’s work is not only unethical it’s cheating. This video is the perfect example of taking another’s work, crediting them for their findings and adding to that body of knowledge with your own findings. From here on I will know you as Dr. Danny. Whether this is the best video you have done is up to debate but it’s the best video for me at this time. Thanks Dr. Danny!

You are the first golf coach I’ve seen on KZfaq that so thoroughly explains and demonstrates elements of the golf swing in terms that I can understand and relate to. 💯

Thanks Danny, the two coaches that I follow consistently are you and Chris. Both of you are really informative and create meaningful drills around the session. Thanks.

You and Chris are two of my favorites. Great to see the cross-pollination. ❤️

I watched a Martin Chuck video on this before in happened onto this video. This was a game changer for me. I had no power in my swing until I did this. This is how you get compression. My length on my irons changed dramatically, I am hitting my 7 iron 25 yards further.

So good of you to have acknowledged Cris's video which offered one of the best lessons I have seen . Yours supplemented that quite well 👍

Danny, I see this as an essential element in the golf swing that is often missing with many amateur golfers including me. When I have seen slow-motion swings of good golfers you can definitely see the elbow leading, and that has been mentioned in so many videos and instructional books. However, there almost appears to be a reluctance to do this for fear of not hitting the ball with any power and so the active, flipping hands come into play, whereas in truth its compression that is required but frequently missing. Great instruction on this element of the swing and most certainly one to continually practise and understand. If we cant do this then we will never strike the ball correctly. Interesting to see the simple body rotation where left heel comes off the ground. Thats much easier for us oldies. Many Thanks, Rich

Danny, I watched this video one time and that was all it took. This is the piece I have been missing. NEVER have I hit this many good shots at the range! I can’t tell you how much this has made my swing repeatable, added consistency AND got me to finally hit down on the ball and compress it! Thank you so much.

Went to the range today and hit 2 large buckets of balls, 180 in total. I worked my way through the bag practicing this technique. I cannot say the change was instant, but it did start coming together. I am picking my irons more cleanly and with longer flights. My woods actually started to go straight and even draw! Normally I never see the left side of the golf course as a right handed player. It is a foreign feeling, tucking in the elbow, but it's definitely making a difference. Thank you so much!!

Your videos make learning and improving golf easy.

Danny, being a master of inconsistency in my golf swing, I find I using my feet, which you stress at the end, and my legs, has been a big help in my distance and accuracy. And of course, combined with the timing of the hips and shoulders. My golf was awful yesterday, but reviewing this video and practicing along with it will certainly help me to become less inconsistent. Thanx, Danny.

Speaking of too many chefs in the kitchen, after viewing all the other pros out there on Yutube and thereby thoroughly mucking up the stew (my mind) by the time I get to the practice range, I find myself coming back to your Keep it Simple mantra to correct myself by focusing on my feet and swinging naturally and confidently through the ball. With that simple thought--and keeping a good tempo and smooth swing rhythm--I've found my game swing again. So thanks mate!😁

Trail arm has been my nemesis forever. This video is the best I've seen that shows how the trail arm moves, where it should be at different points in the downswing. Can't wait to try it out.

I’ve been doing this the past few rounds and my god has it made a major improvement. I’m hitting further and crisper than ever

By the way, what a class act the way you supported a competitor, Chris Ryan. Seen his stuff too but you never know what will finally connect for a golfer. You really honored the game and showed all of us what great leadership is all about. Well done young man!

What a great point about the elbow lead and rotate the forearm to square position - very helpful. I do use body rotation to hit, but can leave the elbow a bit back and then get the power pull with the right shoulder coming forward and bringing the club across the body through impact..

I stumbled on Chris Ryan's video on this subject a couple of weeks back and have to say it turned out to be the main piece of the jigsaw puzzle that was still missing from my golf swing. Thanks to the content such as Chris's, Danny's and many other creators on YT, I've put in place so many pieces of the puzzle over the last 2 years since I've been playing but got to a point recently where most of my shots, irons in particular, felt good, but were drawing or even hooking inexplicably to the left. This trail arm advice has been a breakthrough for me and has opened up new paths to improve my performance.

This is so informative I’ve battled throwing the trail arm over the left arm for years I’ve finally began to make solid contact This is priceless advice Thank you

Thank you Danny. Tried this today on the course and have never hit my irons so well, even managed to take some proper divots.

I have been watching your videos for one year now. I wish I could have seen this one in the beginning. My ball flight has become sooooo much better!! Thank You. I appreciate your help!

Finally! A clear explanation of golf swing wrist action! I kept hearing about "supination" and "release" and other nebulous terms that caused me to break the downswing into too many moving parts, which caused me to totally lose direction and power on the course. All I needed to know was the proper position of the right wrist at impact combined with proper hip movement. Thank you, again, Danny, for keeping it simple!

I'm your average crap golfer.. ( 1st summer golfing ) practiced this today before my round with also cocking my wrist more for a fuller swing and hit a drive 256! Where a good drive for me before was 229.. thank you!

This is so helpful for me now Danny because I actually just discovered about my right arm facing outward a few weeks back by accident and i was able to chip the balls around the green much easier and very accurate too 😃. Then i started using it hitting range balls and i was able to make better impact with great ball flights most of the time. Now it really makes a lot of sense after watching your clip here. I will definitely keep doing this drill daily. Thank you so much for this great info Danny. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us on your future clips 😃👌👍👍

You and Chris are very similar Danny, you both make the technique easy to understand...i subscribe to a lot golf YT coaches, but you two are the ones that give me what I can take to the course, and as such, after 2 years of study and practice, I broke 90 for the first time the other day! Felt awesome, Thanks to you and Chris, I now feel like a golfer! 👍👌👊

Thanks again for the time you take to make such descriptive videos Danny😀🦘🦘

I usually practice A LOT, often at home in my entrance halI. Yesterday I had a terrible round and I wondered if my training really added anything of value to become a better golfer. For some reason when opening the web this morning this instruction was on my screen without looking. I practiced along and went out to the training field just with my PW. And it all fell into place after some 10 minutes. I realised that this practice, in a sense a bit untraditional, seems to be one of the most important instructions you have ever shared. It really helped getting a feel for the basic swing. I am a previous "upper body" golfer due to a severe left knee injury, practicing now to become a "lower body golfer" and found that this move didnt hurt at all. A thing I experienced though was that it is a large step between step 2 and 3, and I found out that just adding a step between where I turned the club shaft holding the club face and swinging before swinging ordinary helped to bridge into step 3. Thanks a lot Danny for sharing all your expertise with us and always in such a pedagogic way!

Been watching golf utube videos for couple years, finally discovered your vids...best golf swing teaching I've seen...ty and please keep them coming!

Hi Danny loving the videos, I've finally broken down and gotten golf lessons after losing complete control of my driver. This tip is great, right now I'm working on keeping my lead leg not to bend inwards towards my right knee and keeping my balance during my swing. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Danny - I have only just started playing seriously and I find your videos to be fantastic! Thank you much for making them available - Jamie from Australia

Took this into competition after a range session and it was really a confidence creating feeling - 4 shots better than handicap better and +++ enjoyment . 'Knees and toes, knees and toes' is the trigger thought for my preshot routine. Together with 'rocking the baby', there is a definite theme here. Congratulations on 400k subscribers and keep 'em coming.

Great segment, Danny. Thank you for covering it.

Hi Danny, great guidance as usual. I felt like my right elbow was flying a little loose lately and so I took this tip to the warm up for our weekly club event this morning. The only thing you failed to warn about was inadvertently picking up 10-15 yards on my club distances! But more importantly, I didn’t hit one fat shot today! Thanks again!

Brilliant again Danny, during this crazy period your videos have helped me understand what my golf swing should feel like and I’ve been getting better on the course and have been definitely getting better scores. Keep it up 👍

Thanks Danny! Years of bad habits coupled with great hand-eye coordination enabled me to hit deep shots, albeit with no consistency to take pride in. I'm 6'6" and when things go bad, they get horrid (shanks). I hit a couple buckets in 20 degree weather here in CO and marveled over finding center face again (even some welcomed toe hits in there) thanks to your 3 step review and go. 40ish again here this evening and looking forward to applying your insight under the heat lamps....thanks again!

Tried this to-day Danny, I actually got quite a few draws with Driver, which I’ve never managed before (being a pusher/slicer) so I shall persevere with this one. I have always believed every body is looking for a tip that will genuinely improve their golf. Let’s hope this is the one. Thanks. Mick

....simple as that.... each lesson brings another piece of the puzzle. Simply brilliant is your way of teaching mate. Happy we found you. Cheers for the family, cheers for 400K!

Great video Danny. I have the same issue of trying to keep the trail arm in a comfortable and natural position that results in very limited power. Have to try to get used to this feeling of keeping your trail elbow close to your body. Most low handicappers who can compress the ball are able to do what you described in this video. Also, for the sake of us left handed golfers, it would be nice if you and other golf instructors can use the terminology, trail and lead foot or arm. This way we don't need to reverse left and right, when following instructions. Thanks.

Yeah Danny, Chris Ryan, Russell Heritage and loads more competition out there but with nearly 400000 subscribers, I think it’s safe to say you’re pretty popular and with good reason. Quality videos, easy to understand and with great drills to help everyone. This one relates with me as I have a tendency to sit on my heels too much. I need to get rocking.

Awesome video Danny! This is something I have been focusing on in my at home drills in the back yard....keeping the trail arm in position for better ball striking AND accuracy (no slices, no hooks). Your video has added the missing tabs to make this a complete exercise and fully repeatable motion. That is it the key - make it repeatable with a 3:1 tempo. Thanks again for your work on providing practical golf lessons.

My God, what a great teacher. Impossible to not be a better golfer after watching these videos.

Danny finally I see a good explanation of the whole motion. My pro's have not been able sofar in all my lessons to explain the motion so clearly. They always talked about lag and keeping my hands behind the ball but never explained the simpel and natural motion. Great, going to work on it tomorrow on the driving range !

Thank you Danny, you’re a great teacher and this is a really good tip. This really can help with the “ lag” I’ve been working on my trail arm. Some teachers say the trail arm is just there for the ride, but I find that to be nonsensical. I only watch three people now and you are one of them. God bless you

Danny- You often mention that a new move or position can feel a bit strange to the golf student. As a former college basketball coach, I encountered the same reaction from my players when working with them on a new move or position in their shooting form. They would say something like, " Man, that feels weird!" And my response to them would be, "Well, it certainly feels different BUT, more importantly, it is the feeling of CORRECT! Though incorrect, your current form is quite COMFORTABLE. Its wrong but it feels comfortable. With enough CORRECT REPETITIONS, the new move or position will become your new comfortable." --Doug Schakel

I never thought much about my trail arm. I’ve always focused on the lead, and weight transfer. I’m going out golfing in a hour, gonna keep this in mind, and try it out on the driving range, before my round. Right on Danny.

The trail arm is absolutely key to a great golf swing. I've worked really hard on this through the past year or 2. Love your videos Danny. Better than Chris Ryan's.

Danny, I really hope that you read this message. My game has been OFF since January. On Monday I watched this video and your “grip” video. I took it to the course and my husband couldn’t believe it! On Tuesday and Thursday we held our stroke play club gross championship. Thanks to you, I am our Women’s Club Champion. I so hope to thank you in person one day!

This drill really helped me understand how the swing should feel at impact. I coupled this with one you put up on 8th December 2018 which gets the feel of finishing the swing (When my ball striking starts to get lazy that is my "go to" drill). Thanks

Thanks Danny. This is so helpful. My friend and I tried this at the Driving Range and began to see some great results. Ongoing We will continue to practice this. Yea, Rock the Baby.

Dan, it is absolutely brilliant explanation of the trail arm movement!!! YOU ARE THE BEST GOLF PRO! RESPECT and many THANKS from all of us!!! Sincerely, Dima Morozov, Moscow Russia 🇷🇺

Really liked the bit about 'spearing' the ball with the alignment stick. Probably the best analogy I've seen to keeping the trail arm tucked. I'm like your dad, developed into an 'army' swinger over the last year or so. I'm definitely gonna give this a go.

Another great video Danny. Easy to follow and simple to execute. Interestingly i only watch you and Chris Ryan on KZfaq.

I think Ben Hogan’s trail arm was quite similar, he called it “ being in a position to hit” keeping the palm down is a great tip along with your tennis analogy

Hi Danny you are my greatest and latest discovery on YT! Thank you so much. IMHO this video in particular is the backbone of golf. Cheers from Argentina!

This is an awesome video. I like how you divide the sequence in two separate drills. The rotation of the body explained at the begging it’s fundamental. It helps me a lot with more consistent shots and better rhythm.

One of the best lessons you can have. It’s what I’m working on from today ! Cheers

I feel like I need to watch this video daily for like a year. Such great instruction. Thank you!

Excellent Danny, I am exactly that man...struggling with strike and so focussed on that, my lower body goes to sleep and I end up with an arms only swing. This is a great video to support the reactivation of the lower body, cause and effect

Hi Danny. Thanks for this. I've been golfing for a zillion years and slicing and pulling for all of that time. I'm gradually getting better and the (current) key for me is to quieten down my wrists. I know how it feels on the backswing to not cock my wrists but continue to struggle on the downswing to stop flicking at the ball. This video was very interesting and relevant for me - in particular the spear exercise. Early days but after a trip down the driving range, I can feel the difference. Going to keep working on this but thanks for giving me hope and a practical way forward.

This has really been an effective Lesson for me... Thanks so much Danny

Danny. that’s really good , we are all guilty of watching a lot of KZfaq when we are looking at golf swings , but these are the things we are looking for !!! There is a Star Wars phrase in there lol 😂 that is a very good gem of an exercise I LIKE THAT THANKS DANNY.

Many thanks for your useful videos. It helped me a lot to get more consistent and to add a few yards

This drill has really improved my ability to control my driver. Great video’s.

Hi Danny. I agree with all that you are saying as being the effects of a great golf swing; but recently at age 73 I am keeping things very simple for myself. My backswing is simply a 2 and 1/2 inch pull back of the muscles of my trail scapula towards my spine as Alison Thietje taught 20 years ago and my downswing is simply a pushing of my upper trail arm against my trail rib cage all the way to the finish of my swing. All the pieces in my upper and lower body simply falls into place as my ball simply gets in the way of my swing. Hope you look her up. Cheers

Hi Danny, what an awesome video. Been working hard on this with my coach,love the drills. The results are incredible, for me I just needed to slow everything in my top half down. Less effort, more accuracy,better impact = bigger smile and lower scores. Marvellous

I saw that Chris Ryan video and immediately recognized where you were going. What you added was "rock the baby" and "spear motion" which I think are great. These are consistent with your video on chipping where you used the feeling of loosening and tightening a jar top. I use that thought many times when taking practice swings just before exeuting the chip shot Great symbolism.

Hey Danny...thanks for this elbow drill, I was able to hit irons much straighter than before! 👍🏻

One of 3 KZfaq instructors I trust for swing analysis. Love this one

I tried this today. What a difference. Thanks again

I’m two years late on this, but I’m laughing hysterically because I saw the same Chris Ryan video a few days ago before seeing this one - just like your father. This video just popped on my timeline so it’s a funny coincidence that my experience was similar to your Dad’s. This is a great complementary video to Chris’s as seeing you do the “pivot” finally made the light bulb go off. I also like the “rock the baby” and “spearing” drills to get the sensation of what the feels like. Great video!

Best lesson EVER! Thanks to your dad, Chris Ryan, and YOU! Lol

This trail arm vidio is great imformation.on how the trail arm needs to be positioned so you don't flip your hands over until way after impact. I always got my elbow and arm in this positon but did not hold it in this position long enough and my hands where doing the flip overway too soon causing all kinds of problems.Thanks very much for sharing such a great lesson.

Great exercises and explanation as always Danny - just knowing where the trail arm should be and why and then how it activates the other muscles was a revelation and is going to transform my game - will be putting that into practice tomorrow morning!

Very nice tip , the video uiu swung the club like that was a very good video as well , your a good teacher of hitting the ball an the few things uiu have shown has really helped me get back to feeling what golf shots feel like.

Hello Danny I think this lesson has transformed my game totally. I have been so worried about swaying that I have gone the total opposite and just trying to stick the feet to the ground and resist any movement. I was so worried the “ rock the baby” motion would cause my swaying but it didn’t and I was still able to remain fairly centred but amazing the dynamic lower body allowed me to maintain the right arm compression through impact - I couldn’t believe it. I was trying all sorts of way to do it in the past eg trying to keep a flat left wrist at impact . Now I finally realize if the lower body/ legs doesn’t work the hands and arms will just take over. I just now need to persevere with “ rocking the baby”. Thank you so much 🙏🙏

Brilliant this. Was practicing it today. Must admit I have seen it before but I just went back to old ways. 100 balls today really working on it quality rather quantity. Nothing bigger than a 6i and was actually hitting it well. Big difference to wedge flight😉👍

Best video yet. I’ve struggled with transferring my weight on the downswing, hitting the ball rather than swinging the club. Tried this today at the range with some success. Looking forward to taking it to the course tomorrow.

I rewatch this one every now and then because it is so good

Another great demonstration and instructional coaching,keeping the legs alive really works for me I think a lot of us seniors use more of the arms to generate power rather than the wrist compression as you illustrate.maybe this is why we lose the power in the last few holes in the round .great stuff you are the people’s coach in golf beers up Danny.

Great video. I'm recovering from a stroke and am trying to find a swing again. I had forgot about getting my trail arm in the correct position. Thanks!

This one absolutely got rid of side spin from my shots. I altered my grip slightly round to the right with my trail arm which actually feels much more comfortable and confidence inspiring. Fantastic tip. Thanks Danny.

Outstanding as always..

Another great video Danny 👍

My years of trying to be "quiet" and have a "still head" have absolutely led to my legs going to sleep, and having all of those issues you point out. Clubface is lazy, lack of "hit" and compression. This is a great tip.

Danny I saw in your slow motion swing that you start moving your right leg towards to target first to trigger your swing helps me to swing better. Thank you

Danny, your guidance and drills are awesome. This one was especially great and worked wonders for me. Cheers

This is the best tip ever. I keep forcing on bowing my left wrist but it is much easier to execute in the downswing

Best video for ball striking! I have saved and review before every golf outing! Thanks!

You very much , Danny, for the excellent advice. I've always been thinking about the mouvement of my left arm, without thinking about the right arm and the rest of the body! Greetings from Italy! Stefano

Danny Maude, what can I say? Took this lesson and your drag and lag one to the course yesterday and enjoyed what I would call a slimming yogurt round - 95% fat free.

As a new player I find it incredible how much there is to learn. Thanks again for the content

Hi Danny thanks for the helpful video. My son just turned 50 and although he is a wonderful father and a successful business man my wife and I still see our little boy. I'm sure most all parents are the same. Stay safe.

Hi Danny, a perfect way to teach how to improve. Three easy-to-understand tips when rolled into one will really help.

Great drill Danny. This has corrected so many flaws in my swing. Cheers.

Thanks for doing this video. My problem has been compressing the ball with my irons and this will help I'm sure.

Such a NICE video! Nice isn’t the perfect word but it encompasses the gist of what I want to express. Danny you are rock star teacher. So easy to listen to and making things simple without talking down to anyone. Just totally supportive and it’s clear you want to help people. In my case, I have long felt that I’m on the precipice of figuring some important things out but there are probably just some little things missing. I feel that you help me find those little things. Thank you for the content of your channel! I like Chris Ryan too but I think your dad would be wise to pay more attention to your videos! 😂

Loving your videos Danny,helped my game no end 👍🏻…. Cheers mate

Our Pro got me to do this last week and it felt a bit strange at first but the results have been striking. The shank has been my nemesis for years and this trail arm position has got me feeling that I'm never going to hit another one. If anything my contact has been a bit out of the toe. Anyway six birdies in two weeks for a 13 handicap doesn't lie.

Another valuable,helpful video. Next step,study the practice plan followed by practice at home & finally a round of golf.Many thanks Danny.
